~Her Injured Heart~

By: Valentine Taylor

~SUNDAY NIGHT~

The weekend had passed since the incident in the café.  Sora now lay on her bed, remembering the conversation with Troy, and what Mimi had to say about it.

~FLASHBACK- FRIDAY~

~Ring…Ring~

"Hello?" A male voice answered.

"Is Troy there?" Sora asked.

"Yes, please wait a minute."

Sora had butterflies in her stomach.  She felt horrible.  In fact, if Mimi hadn't been there next to her, she would have hung up and forgotten the whole thing.

"Hello?" Troy's voice said.  Just hearing his voice tightened Sora's chest, making her breath come in short gasps.

"Umm…" Sora couldn't seem to form words.

"Sora?  Is that you?"

"Yes, I..umm..I need to tell you something important," Sora swallowed her nerves as best she could, and continued.  "I don't want to be with you anymore."

"What?" Troy asked simply.

"I want to break up."  Sora felt her throat drying up.

There was a long pause.  "We'll talk later," Troy said simply in a flat, unemotional voice, and the line clicked.

"What, Sora, what?" Mimi asked.

"He said 'we'll talk later' and hung up."  Sora had tears welling in her eyes as Mimi took her cell phone from the red haired girl.  "What should I do?"

"Talk later," Mimi said with the glint of evil in her eye.  Sora looked at her, puzzled, so Mimi explained.  "Sora, just by telling you you'll talk later is taking advantage of you.  He does it all the time.  So, I'm figuring the only way to make him learn would be to dump him the mean way.  In front of all his friends, on Monday at lunch."  Mimi now had a large smile on her face.

~END FLASHBACK~

Sora had thought about Mimi's plan the entire weekend.  Did she really want to do that to Troy?  Part of her still thought of him in a loving way, so her brain was basically at war with itself.  She had come to the decision late on Saturday that she may not be able to be without him.  She knew it sounded melodramatic, but she was so used to having someone, no matter how atrociously she had been treated.  She stared at the ceiling, and finally, after thinking for the entire weekend, decided that Mimi knew what she was talking about.  The next day at lunch, she would Dump Troy harshly. 

Sora turned out the light to go to bed with a single thought in her head:

'I hope I'm doing the right thing.'

~MONDAY~

"Sora!"  The red haired girl heard her name shouted through the hall by a voice that could only belong to Mimi.  Surely enough, the pink haired girl was swiftly walking towards her.  "Ready to put our plan into action?"

"I guess," Sora said, glancing at the floor.

"Oh, come on!"  Mimi exclaimed.  "You have to be strong!  Put your foot down!  He and his friends won't think you're serious if you stare at the floor!  Now let's go.  Don't worry, I'll be right beside you."  With that, Mimi pulled Sora towards the cafeteria.

            ~

They reached the cafeteria and spotted their 'victim' sitting with about fifteen other guys.

Sora gathered her nerves and started in the direction of the table.  Suddenly, Mimi grabbed her shoulder.  "Wait a sec Sora.  Look who's sitting with Troy."  Sora gazed at the table.  Troy was there, along with a couple boys from Sora's math class, a couple from Japanese, and a couple from History.  And there was- Matt???  What was he doing there?

"Mimi, what is Matt doing over there?"  Matt, the girls' friend, was sitting next to Troy.  They seemed to be friends.  Matt would probably get stuck in the middle if any argument should arise.

"I'm not quite sure, but it could cause problems.  Do you want to do this some other time?"

"No, I'm set now.  Matt will understand, hopefully."

"Okay, let's go."  The two walked towards the table.  They stood at the end farthest away from Troy, so Sora would have to speak loudly enough so Troy (and everyone in between the two) would be able to hear; a little detail taken care of by Mimi.

"Troy," Sora started, feeling braver than she expected.  "You blew me off on Friday, so I decided to get this taken care of at my convenience, not yours.  I am breaking up with you.  I know you thought I couldn't do it, but I just did."  Sora held in a breath.  The two girls waited for a reaction.  The one they got wasn't at all what they had expected.  Troy laughed.

He laughed.

And laughed.

For a full minute Troy sat laughing while the girls stood, vexed.  Troy finally stopped laughing, and looked Sora straight in the eye.  " I want to talk to you.  Alone.  Now."  The look in Troy's eyes took away all Sora's confidence and she heard herself surrender to his wish.  He stood and walked to Sora.  Grabbing her hand roughly, he pulled her away from the table.  Matt watched silently, showing no emotion.  Mimi was too surprised to do or say anything.

~

Troy pulled Sora to a small alcove outside the gym.  He shoved her against the wall and said harshly, "What the hell do you think you're doing?  Do you think you proved a point by embarrassing me in front of my friends?  Well, you didn't.  And I don't accept your proposition.  You'll be with me for as long as I want you to be.  Understand bitch?"

Sora swallowed hard, ignoring the tears stinging the back of her eyes.  "It wa-wasn't a proposition.  You and I-I can't be together anymore."  Sora closed her eyes, waiting to be struck.  Okay, so one thing Troy had never done was hit her, but he had never been this angry with her either.  But the strike didn't come.  Instead she felt the boy's lips softly touch hers, as his arms wrapped around her small waist.  She felt herself unwillingly submit to his touch.  He pulled back and whispered, in a sugar-coated voice, "I'm sorry Sora.  I didn't mean to yell at you.  Do you forgive me?"  He felt her tense in his arms, so he again brushed his lips against hers.

"Yes," Sora breathed, barely audible.

Troy smirked.  "That's a good girl."  With that he pecked her lips once more, released her, and walked back towards the cafeteria.

When she saw him re-enter the room, Mimi ran to Troy.  "What did you say to her you Jerk?  Where is she?  You better not have said anything to hurt her!"

Troy smiled an award-winning smile at Mimi.  "Relax Princess, I just made her see my side of things."  With that, the sandy haired boy walked back to his place at the table, and Mimi ran to find her friend.

When Troy reached his seat, Matt asked him, "What exactly did you say to her?"

"It's nice you're worried about your little friend, but don't stress, we just got back together."  Matt was surprised by this, but didn't show it.  He decided to talk to Sora about it later, since Troy didn't seem ready to offer up any more information.

~

Mimi found Sora sitting in the alcove outside the gym.  She rushed to her friend, who had tears in her auburn eyes.  "Sora, what happened?" Mimi asked, her voice overflowing with concern.  Sora didn't look up, didn't move in any way.  She only said four simple words:

"We got back together."

TBC…

A/N: How is it so far?  Not much romance yet, but somewhere in the next couple of chapters, there will be!  Now I better go study at least a little for that test, I don't want to fail!  Please R&R, constructive criticism accepted! ^_~
