A/N: I don't know.
Just a random SoraxMelany story...You know, the usual.
With a minor twist.
It doesn't end happily.
Expect some tears.
This isn't written journal-style, just told from Sora's POV in a bittersweet way.
It takes place over the course of several months; from December of 2002 to May of 2003. Melany and Sora are seniors in high school here.
This story will be very bittersweet, in the beginning and in the end.
December 2002
I knew I should have taken my chance when I had it. I could have told her...
But now, not knowing how she felt...And her not knowing how I felt...
It was killing me.
She was one of my best friends, a beautiful raven-haired girl with pretty azure-blue eyes.
She was sweet, smart, funny, and just an amazing person.
But I didn't want to be just friends.
I wanted to be more than that.
"Hey, Sora," Melany called to me cheerfully, her blue eyes glimmering in the fire light.
I walked over to her.
The rest of that night, until we had to go home, we just talked and laughed together.
January 2003
New Year's day...I came so close to kissing her. I should have.
She had gone home by now, calling her farewell over her shoulder as she ran home.
I could have told her again...
But I missed.
I was left there, wondering, if I was going to be stuck in the friend zone forever.
It certainly felt that way.
Watching her leave that day...
It felt as though something had died inside me.
We saw each other again at school the next week, but few words were exchanged.
She started hanging around one of the other boys.
I knew, then and there, that I was likely to be friend zoned unless I took action as soon as I could.
February 2003
I lost my chance. Melany was with Derek now.
I meant to confess on Valentine's Day.
I meant to be romantic.
But I failed.
My chance was gone now.
She and I had been talking just as much, but I felt like we were growing apart.
March 2003
It only took him two weeks to crush her heart.
She came to me for comfort...
It had now been two weeks since they broke up, and she'd returned to her usual self.
I took my chance, confessed.
My heart leapt when she accepted my confession.
We became an item. We loved each other.
We grew close again.
I was beginning to feel better.
We could have a future.
Things were going perfectly.
April 2003
We had our first kiss at the senior prom.
She looked so pretty with her pastel blue dress and her cascading dark hair...
We were closer than ever, and I was beginning to hope we'd have a future together.
But then her parents had to move...
Which meant she had to leave.
And I might never see her beautiful face again.
May 2003
Graduation day.
My deepest regret was that Melany couldn't be here with me today.
She'd been so excited for graduation...
"We'll graduate together, and-and we'll get married someday, and..." She'd always said to me when we were kids.
I missed her deeply.
I wondered now if she even thought about me...
