Confessions

"Do you think he will be okay?"

"Physically, yes."

"What about mentally?"

"…that's something we will have to find out…"

It was so cold. Frowning, I moaned softly. All I ever wanted was warmth. That was all, was it so selfish of me to ask for it? Lifting my hand I cried softly. I don't want to be cold, being cold meant I was…alone, I don't want to be alone!

"He's been having these fits in his sleep ever since he's been here. So far nothing we have done has helped."

Voices…

"Please! When will he wake up?"

Desperation…

They sounded so far away. Reaching forward, I moaned. Please, won't someone….someone just let me know that they cared? Know that there was warmth? I was so cold…

Something warm slowly touched my hand. Letting my fingers curl around it, I smiled. Slowly I let go of my semi-conscience state and let myself float off into oblivion. I was finally warm…

"Hey. Can you open your eyes?"

Eyes fluttering open, I slowly sat up. Where was I? Blearily looking around, I frowned. Hell, all I could see was white. Lifting my left hand, I rubbed my eyes.

"You feel any better?"

Turning towards the slightly concerned voice, I blinked in confusion. There sat a green eyed, silver haired teen. Well that was new, it wasn't everyday you saw a person with silver hair. He held a warm smile and there was just something about him that shouted 'Trust me'. Looking down, I blushed. Well, there was the reason on why my right hand wasn't working. My right hand held his own in a tight grip.

Looking up I blushed harder with the realization that he had been my 'warmth'. Pulling my hand out of his, I smiled. "Umm, no offence, but who are you?"

He sighed softly. "We were never really properly introduced. My name is Riku, and uh…" A small frown etched itself slowly across his face. "…do you remember what happened?"

Blinking in confusion, I shook my head. I remembered being in the dark….and pain….but that was it (what else was new?). Nothing really seemed to be clear to me. Nothing at all. Looking the teen over, something seemed to click in my mind. I definitely knew him from somewhere. "Well I'm Sora, seeing as we were never properly introduced." I mocked smiling slightly.

He returned the smile with one of his own, but it quickly faded. Frowning at his saddened face, I sighed. "What's wrong?" It was odd. I never liked seeing other people unhappy, unless of coarse it was him. I couldn't give a rat's ass about him.

"I just wanted to thank you…." His eyes were set firmly on the floor as he said this. He almost looked ashamed…of himself? More than likely he was ashamed for having to say thank you, for what who knew, to…someone…no, something…like me…

Cocking my head to the side, I smiled. "What ever for?"

"For helping me escape…." His voice held no emotion, but when he looked up, his eyes... they burned with the intense emotions swirling in their depths. Anger…regret… "Why didn't you come with me?!"

Flinching back in surprise I gasped as a sudden wave of nausea hit me, as did the memories. He was the teen that I helped escape from him. He had practically begged for me to come with him, but I hadn't. I had been scared….he would have just found me any way. He would have just found me any way…

And then, and then…

Choking back a sob, I shook my head. It was blurry, and then there was a closet. I had been locked in a closet!

"Woah! Hey!" Soft hands placed themselves on my shoulder. Without thinking I threw myself at the older teen. A small startled gasp filled the air, but I paid no attention to it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sobbing, I buried my head into his arms. "H-he...closet! H-he locked, he l-locked, he locked me in a closet!"

Slowly arms circled my waist; soft soothing noises were whispered into my ear telling me it would be 'alright'. Pulling away, I looked down at the white sheets. Dropping my bandaged arms (you know I never noticed they were bandaged up until now) into my lap, I slowly twisted the cotton sheets nervously in my hands. "I'm sorry…" Glancing up, I found myself quickly looking back down. "I didn't mean to do that."

"It's alright."

A soft clicking sound came from the far wall as the door opened and a lady all in white slowly walked in. The 'click, clack, click, click, clack' of her heals on the tile floors sounded around the room. It was only then that I could hear the sounds of people and the busy sounds of feet outside the room. It was then I realized where I was…

The lady smiled. "So how's my little patient doing?"

…a hospital.

Shit! I definitely could not be here! He would kill me for…wait. He won't be coming back. Not yet anyway. He would be back….that much was guaranteed, I couldn't let anyone know. I couldn't let anyone know who he was.

The lady gave off one of those Barbie smiles. You know, one that never disappears, looks perfect, and has to hurt the cheeks for doing that so long….

Yeah, one of those smiles. "I'm not little."

"Oh really? Well then, exactly how old are you dear?" She said, a rather to sweetly if you ask me. Wow, talk about fake.

Rolling my eyes, I glared. "Fifteen."

Silence filled the room and the plastic smile slipped off the nurse's face. Yes, I know that I looked twelve, yes I know my glares looked as harmless as a wet kitten….

Stopping that train of thought, I shook my head. I would not refer to myself as a kitten as he did.

"Well dear, I haven't been able to locate any of your parents, you had no I.D. on you. Give me your name, and if possible, your mother and or fathers phone number."

Shivering slightly, I frowned. I hated hospitals. I had only been in it once, and that was to watch my grandmother slowly wither away. Her dying words were telling me I was an ungrateful little bastard. Did I ever mention my grandmother used to live with me? She knew what they did…..

She didn't care….

No one cared. I realized this a long time ago. It was all an act they put on just to see how long it took for me to trust them before they slowly cut the bonds between us and let my remains drop and shatter.

"My name is Sora Koishii, my mother is dead, and truthfully I could care less where my father was. Oh, and if you're wondering I don't know either of their phone numbers." I said smiling as sweetly as I could back. I was lying, I knew it. I couldn't let them know that it was my father who did it to me though. "I haven't heard from him for the past three years." It was all one big lie. One big lie…

Nodding her head, she slowly walked out of the room. The smile on her face long forgotten.

Silence filled the room. Finally the silver-haired teen spoke up. Saying one of the oddest things some one would say at this time. "You know, you have major mood swings."

Giggling, I smiled up at Riku. "I know."

"But seriously though, is your mother really…." He left the sentence open, hoping he wouldn't have to say it. I understood, that's how I was for the longest time. I couldn't accept her death at first. I always expected her to walk into the house, scream at me, smack me around a bit, and stagger to her bed like the good drunk she was. But she would never do that again, and it was all my entire fault. He had after all, been aiming that knife at me.

"Yeah. It's alright though, you don't have to be sorry or anything." Putting up the best smile that I could, I shrugged. "So how old are you?"

Taken back by the sudden switch of topics, he stuttered slightly. "I, I'm 17."

The nurse decided to walk in right after that, cutting the conversation that was just starting short. "Well Sora, I see you were telling the truth. You've been living alone for all these years?"

I nodded. I knew if I spoke my voice would betray me. I was never really that good of a liar, which would be why I never went to school that often.

I saw the weird look Riku gave me…

"How exactly have you been paying the bills?"

Looking down, I shook my head. "Money was s-sent to me…"

"Really. May I ask from whom?"

Biting my lip, I kept my eyes down. I was such an idiot. I really am a bad liar; I completely forgot that saying those things would just get me in trouble. My lie's always seem to back-fire on me. I'm not the type that steels, even though; I had to every now and then. But it wasn't like I wanted to; it was what I had to do.

I was startled to find that I was crying. "I, I…"

"Well!" She was getting impatient. Flinching away from her voice, I bit my lip and nodded. "I, I…"

"Nurse!" Flinching away from the second voice I squeezed my eyes shut. "Will you leave him alone? I do believe that it's not your place to be asking such personal questions. And can't you see your upsetting your patient?"

"It's my job to ask these questions as well."

"But not now!"

"Yes now!"

"At the moment your place is to take care of your patient, not make him cry!"

"If crying makes him better, then I'm doing my job!"

"How the hell does crying make someone better?!"

Covering my ears with my hands, I curled my fingers, pulling on my hair. "STOP!" Leaning forward, I shook my head desperately. "Stop. Stop, stop, stop. Please…"

I didn't notice that it had become quite, I focused on chanting stop. I just wanted all the yelling to stop. I had wanted all the yelling to stop when I was younger, but it never did. A hand placed itself on my shoulder. Flinching away, I pushed myself up against the pillows on the bed. Staring at the hand still hanging there, I glanced up at the two faces in the room. They weren't my parents. I just had to keep telling myself that.

Riku slowly walked forward, pulling his hand to his side. "We're sorry… okay?"

The nurse behind him looked almost white. She nodded as well. "I didn't mean to yell at you Sora. I forgot my place." Pulling out a clip-board, she frowned. "Your friend can sign you out of here in about a week." She walked slowly out of the room.

Glancing up at the silver haired teen, I raised an eyebrow in question. He smiled. "You're going to stay with me until someone adopts you I guess. Truthfully, they weren't going to let you go back to your parents anyway. They thought they weren't good enough to take care of you. So I volunteered to let you stay with me." I nodded.

This meant….That I was an orphan…

I no longer had parents. My father wasn't qualified to have me now and I didn't have a mother. But why would he want to take me in? Did he think he owed me something?

Was I just a burden in his eyes? Was he going to just drop me off the first second he realized he owed me nothing? After all, I am nothing….

Nothing at all.

You can't owe something to…nothing…
