Chapter 4
Sora

So this morning when I woke, I almost expected Terra to show up again, seeing as that's what happened last time, but there was no other body in my bed when my alarm startled me awake. I stretched as I reached over to turn that annoying machine off. The world would be better off without alarm clocks in my opinion; those machines are definitely invented and made by evil people, who just love to torture others.

Anyway, back to the fact that nothing unusual seemed to go on last night. The normality was strange, which confused me. I picked up my journal to see if maybe Ventus had written back, but it turns out he didn't. Maybe it was only a once in a life time occurrence? But Ventus had said that he had a feeling he could come out again...Maybe it only happens sometimes? I sighed. There's no one I could figure this out on my own.

Then I suddenly remembered I had to visit my doctor again today and if he saw Ventus' entry and my reply he might think I'm having delusions on top of a failing heart. I slapped my forehead lightly, could I ever catch a break? I decided it would be best if I just tore the page out of my journal, and kept it at home, so my doctor wouldn't read it. I also just realized that I now have no entry for the day before. I decided to just BS it and write that a crazy stalker snuck into my apartment and freaking me out and I beat him with a vase, or something. It wasn't too far from the truth right?

Alright, once that was done I planned out what I was going to be dressed in today, since not only do I have to look sane to my doctor, but I get to see Riku again. Why was he so captivatingly beautiful? I'll never know. So I have to look good for him, so that maybe he'll fall in love with me.

After about an hour of looking for an outfit, I gave up and decided to just wear my 'oblivion' T-shirt, with a pair of dark jeans and tennis shoes. I wasn't about to spend more than an hour searching for something to wear, then I could be classified as a girl. I definitely don't want that.

Suddenly I heard a strange noise, and realized that it was my tummy growling. "Oh, right, food is important." I laughed a little at myself; I do the silliest things sometimes. Well, now I needed to find myself some food. I walked down to the kitchen to look through the cabinets and the fridge, only to realize that I have basically no food in my house. Great. Maybe I could go out to get something? Oh, and then pick up something for Riku, who's always complaining about hospital food? Yep, this is a great plan.

I grabbed my wallet and my keys, slipped my shoes, and headed out toward a small bake shop to get some food for myself, and some for mister gorgeous too. I walked in there kind of awkwardly, seeing as I never really got anything from this small shop, but since Demyx wouldn't leave me alone about it I thought I should check it out. Another thing was the guy at the counter seemed really intimidating. He had bright, almost fire red hair, forest green eyes, and piercing almost well...everywhere. I'm not usually one to judge a person by their cover, but for this guy it was really hard not to!

Although he was scary, I got up the courage and went up to the counter. "Umm, good morning." I mumbled, trying to be polite, but I probably looked like a puppy with my tail between my legs. I was expecting was for him to be all pissy and look down on me.

What I didn't expect is what actually happened. He turned to me with a bright smile, and laughed. "Well good morning to you too! What can I get for you?" He said like I was one of the most valued customers.

I was so surprised by his greeting and question that I was stunned for a moment. Then I realized he was staring at me. "Oh! Sorry! Um, I'll take uhhh...two of those orange pastries." Those where for me, since I absolutely love oranges. "And...two of the strawberry ones." I had once overheard that Riku's favorite fruit was strawberries, and once he told me I smelled like one. I'm not particularly fond of them, but I think they are pretty good, so I took it as a compliment.

The man grinned at me as he took them out and carefully place them in a small box. "Here ya go! That'll be ten dollars."

I blinked in surprise. I never even heard of pastries being so cheap. "That's it?" I asked curiously, but I regretted it afterward because he'll probably raise the price due to my stupidity.

The man grinned from ear to ear, which kinda creeped me out. "Nah, it's a discount, since you remind me a lot of someone." He answered with a small chuckled. "You look a lot like him."

I looked at him curiously with a lifted eyebrow. That was a really weird thing to say to someone, but I let it slide seeing as I'm getting really good pastries for and awesome price. "Well, thanks." I said with a smile as I handed him the money.

"No problemo." He nodded before I stared to make my way to the door. "Oh, and enjoy those! They were made by a very good pastier!"

I looked back and nodded a 'yes' with a small laugh, before exiting the shop and driving down to the hospital. I was actually pretty early for my appointment, so I signed in and let the nurse know I was here and where she could find me before I made my way to Riku's room.

As usual he was awake and reading a book like it was the only thing that existed in his world right now. I lightly knocked on the door to let him know I was there and to get his attention. He slowly looked up from his book and smiled in my direction. "Well hey there, come on in." He said while closing his book and placing on the desk next to him.

I gladly entered the room and sat down on one of the chairs next to his bed. "I went out to grab breakfast this morning and I thought you could use some actual food."

"God yes! All they feed me here is slime food, or healthy food. It's aggravating really..." He sighed, before looking at the box in my hand. "Soooo, what did you bring me to eat huh? I bet it's delicious since you picked it out for me."

I blushed slightly at the comment, and clear my throat so I could actually get my voice out. "Well, there's this small pastries shop down town, and they are apparently really good." I started while taking the pastries out of the box and giving them to Riku. "I heard you liked strawberries, so I got you two of their strawberry pastries."

Riku started down at the delicious pastries for a moment, and I thought I did something wrong and he was actually allergic to strawberries or something. "Riku?" I asked nervously, hoping that he wouldn't be angry.

"Sora," He mumbled, and I swallowed thickly, waiting for the worst, but it didn't. His hand reached up and...ruffled my hair. "You are amazing, you know that?" He complimented with a grin. "I know of this store. My best friend works there and the pastier there does the most amazing strawberry pastries ever." He looked from the pastries to me. "You know if I didn't have these in my hand, or have a broken leg, I would hug you right now."

Oh jeez, that made my heart start beating like crazy, and my face lit up like a red light at an intersection. "Don't worry! It's ok! You don't have to!" I shook my head frantically, because if this went any further, my heart may not be able to take it...

"Aw, Well, I really did want to hug you, maybe some other time." He shrugged and started to eat his pastries. Man, he was quick to forget that, but he also said 'some other time.' I guess I'm going to have to watch my back if he ever decides to surprise me with a random hug.

Besides that, we really just talked about regular things as we ate breakfast together, like the weather, sports, my job, and all that jazz. I didn't really tell him about my strange incident yesterday, because I myself am still confused about what the hell it was about. Although, Riku could tell that something was on my mind, I didn't want to bother him with it, so I told him I was just stressed about work and not getting enough sleep. He told me not to be so stressed, and if I ever needed to talk, to go to him, and it's those little things he does for me that made me fall in love with him.

Alright, so after that small little pick-me-up for me, I headed to my doctors office since my appointment was in about five minutes. I sat in the small waiting room before my name was called to step into his office.

"Hey There!" I greeted him with a smile, since he probably has a lot of sad days, and I thought I should cheer him up when I visit him. Also I don't want to be mean and just make a horrible impression on the guy who knows how to keep me alive.

"Hello, Sora, doing ok?" He asked while pulling out my file.

"Yeah, I guess so." I answered while sitting down on the usual uncomfortable, plastic covered, chair. "I had a good breakfast this morning." And a gorgeous person to share it with.

"That's always good." He commented before looking from my file to me. "So, it's journal check today and blood sample. Sorry I have to make your day worse." He said with a small sigh.

"S'all good, don't worry about it!" I assured him. Although I hate getting my blood taken, it helps me know whether or not my condition is getting better, worse, or if it's staying the same. I take out my journal and hand it to him. "Here, all yours." I don't usually write anything too personal in it anyway, so it's not like I'm embarrassed to give it to him.

He took it with a small thank you, and started to look over it. I just swayed my feet back and forth out of boredom, until I saw the doctor's face at my last entry. "Sora." I tense up a little since his voice sounds serious. "Is what you wrote in the last entry true?"

Oh crap..."Uh, yeah." I answered, although I didn't sound too sure. "Don't worry I called the police, and I told them I didn't want it to be big or anything, so it was on the down-low." Man, I am a good liar! I really hope it works.

"Well, that's good..." he didn't sound too positive though. "but, this incident should've caused a great strain on your heart. The amount of adrenaline that would be running through your body might have caused you to die, but here you are, perfectly fine, and you didn't record anything about pain."

I blinked in surprise. Now that I think about it...I don't remember my chest hurting at all when Terra showed up in my bed. That surely could've caused some issues...but...it didn't. Ok, now I'm even more confused. "Then...what does that mean?" I asked him with a small voice. "Does it mean I'm better?"

The doctor bit his lip. "I don't know...I'll have to tell you after I examine your blood." He answered honestly. "Let me do that now, but I still won't have the results until tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it, just take my blood now, and let me know." Even though I sounded calm, with my fake smile plastered on my face, on the inside I was panicking. What if I'm cured? What made it happened? Was it all fake to begin with? Was I never sick? What if it has to do with Ventus?

The last question made me stop. As the doctor carefully extracted my blood I thought about the incident with Ventus. Maybe it's because he's inside me that my heart isn't failing...That is a possibility, but I don't know how plausible it is. Then again, another person inside your heart isn't plausible at all.

"There all done!" The doctor said while placing a small patch over my arm. "I'll let you know when I get the results."

I nodded and exited the room. I was still in a state of shock though as I walked the halls of the hospital, I was half tempted to stop by Riku's room, but I just...didn't want to. I practically raced home, and entered my house in a frenzy. I got out the torn page to add what happened today, since I wanted to know what Ventus thought. Although I think it's a bad idea, I really want Ventus to come out tonight and talk it over with Terra. Maybe I can get both of their opinion on it.

I spent the rest of the afternoon writing for work, and doing research. By nightfall I was exhausted, and ready for bed. As I got under the covers, I made sure that the torn page was visible, so Ventus could read it. I just prayed for the best as I shut my eyes, and went to sleep.


A: OH JEEZ! Lol, so what do you guys think? Is it really Ventus? Or is he crazy again?
oh and for anyone who got the reference to my RikuxSora one-shot, kudos to you awesome people! :D lol.

I hope I won't take too long with chapter five, but idk with all this work...So just be patient with me :D
