Here's to another chapter. I don't own Digimon, blah blah blah.
Chapter 4
That night Sora's sleep was restless. So many things were running through her mind, and she just continued to toss and turn. When finally her alarm went off, she turned it off slowly. It was Saturday, and she could sleep in if she wanted. However, she drowsily got up and made her way to the shower.
She was numb. As the water rolled off her, she simply stood there, off in another world. Things had seemed so right between her and Matt. Why did she now doubt it?
When she climbed out of the shower, she didn't grab a towel. She stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her naked body. She could see why Matt would be attracted to her. She was slim, yet muscular. Her hips were just bug enough to give her that hourglass shape. Her calves were toned from a lot of soccer and tennis playing. Her breasts were full and perky, just the right size. Her whole body was covered in a bronze tan. Auburn hair draped over her shoulders.
Yet, none of that seemed to matter. Matt became interested in her after they were in high school. Tai didn't really seem to care what she looked like. He had cared for her when it seemed like nobody else did. He would hold her when she cried, smile when she would laugh, and be there any time she needed to talk. She was completely comfortable with him. When she was with him it just seemed natural. And he had been there since the very beginning.
She lay on the couch after getting dressed. She was supposed to meet with Matt today at 2:00. It was already 1:15. She had to decide what she felt. She placed her hand on the heart pendant. Right then she knew.
After meeting with Matt, they decided to go for a walk in the park. He could see in her eyes that Sora was troubled. He had a feeling that today was different than before.
As they walked through the trees, the sun peeked through. It was becoming cloudy on the other side of the sky. They stopped, and Sora looked into his eyes. She searched for a while and then looked down. From her pocket she took a gold necklace.
"Matt, I think you should have this back. It's not fair for me to keep it." She held it out to him. There was a tear in her eye.
"Sora, I bought it for you." He knew what was coming.
"But I would feel terrible if I kept it. It can't be with you anymore." The tear fell down her cheek. He brushed it off.
"Sora, I know what you're thinking about. I've seen it lately. You're in love with him." His face was calm. More tears escaped her eyes.
"I didn't mean for things to happen this way. I just started thinking about things, and about how when you said you loved me I couldn't say it back. . ." And she began to cry. She couldn't help herself. All this time she had made herself believe she really wanted to be with Matt, and all along she just needed to be with Tai. She had been hurting him, and now she was hurting Matt. He held her lightly.
"Sora, you don't have to feel bad. Please keep the necklace, it was a gift and it shows I care. But more than anything I want you to do what right in your heart. I want your heart to be at peace so that mine can as well." She looked at him. He had a sad smile on his face.
"Thank you Matt, you really are great, and you're gonna make some girl really happy someday."
With that they parted, and it began to rain.
