He arrived at his house. It was covered in snow that has yet to be shoveled. Sora knocked only twice before a tired looking Riku appeared still in pajamas. I mean I couldn't blame him for being half asleep it was almost four in the morning. "Riku," I sighed. "Can we talk please?" Riku took in a breathe. "Reno?" He yawned. "Yeah" Sora said. "Well come on in," He held out his hand, "it's freezing out. I'll fix you up some hot chocolate."
Now he was on his way back. After talking to Riku made him feel a bit better. He walked the streets breathing back in the breathe he saw right in front of his face. "Maybe Reno's better." He thought. Oh please. What was he saying? What doesn't he get about Reno having an issue? He is never better. He took in a deep hesitated breathe and knocked on the door. Just when he was ready for another knock out came Reno with a satisfied look. "How are ya feelin?" He said. "Reno just let me in." Sora sighed. "Please." Reno shot him a look. But before he could say anything Sora was already inside. Reno took in a breathe." Sorry about that." Once again his apologizes. It was ALWAYS sorry. He just wanted to slap him across the face. He would rather Reno go to the bar every night instead of these fake apologizes. Sora asked him "Do you want to do something today?" Mostly this question was just to see what Reno would say. And he said just what he expected. "Nope, can't." He said. "I'm going to the bar tonight." Sora sighed. Alright. It was going to happen again so he wasn't going to take any abuse. This time Reno was on his own.
Sora grabbed his phone and dialed his friends house. When she picked up he asked right away. "Kairi," Sora said. "What are you doing tonight?" Kairi answered. "Nothing." She said. "Why do you wanna spend the night?" "Yeah Sora said." "I do." She breathed. "Alright. Pick you up in twenty." Then she hung up. Sora looked at Reno. He wasn't going to tell Reno where he would be tonight. So he just said, "Have a good time tonight." He sighed. "I'll be out." And with that last statement Kairi called and said she was there. Reno gave him the who-are-you-talking-to-look but Sora just shrugged it off. "Bye." He said as he ran down to Kairi's car.
"Hey," Kairi said as we got inside. "Wanna watch a movie?" Sore shrugged. "Sounds good to me." He said. And the whole night was great. It was fun. It was a night, that for the first time, Sora forgot about Reno.
Kairi was asleep early. But He just wasn't going to sleep right now. He decided to go for a ride. He took her car keys knowing she wouldn't mind and drove away. As Sora parked the car he looked up to find himself in the last place he wanted to be at. The bar.
"Read between the lines.
What's fucked up and everything's alright.
Check my vital signs and know I'm still alive
And I walk alone."
