Chapter 4 - Apologize
I ran into my home not bothering to greet my mother as I didn't want her to see me cry. I usually never cry. Unless I'm hurt really bad.
I ran up the stairs into my room and fell onto my pillows. Did Sora not care? I bet he didn't. He's probably laughing at my rage towards him. He wouldn't care if I got kidnapped.
I sat up and wiped my eyes. I walked up to my mirror and covered my horrible face. Why am I so... ugly? I felt the urge again. To cut. But I promised myself to stop. I can't break a promise.
I went downstairs, took my jacket and told my mom I was going to the park. The thing is, why would she let me out when I need someone in the morning to walk me!?
It didn't make sense.
I walked to the park. So many kids were there with their parents.
I smiled. I'm happy they have a loving family. I can't hate them for having one.
I sat down on the bench and watched as dogs played, elderly feeding the birds, and teen couples holding hands, some were married.
I smiled at the view. Until one person caught my eye. Was that Sora? Why does he look so upset? Why is he talking to a little girl?
Sora's POV
Ugh. Why did I have to ruin it. I mean, it was the cemetery you idiot! I didn't mean to... Ugh. This is complicated. I looked around the park. Suddenly I felt a tug on my shorts.
I looked down. It was a little girl with brown hair.
"Hi! My name is Irene!" The little girl said.
I knelt down to her position and smiled.
"My name is Sora! How old are you Irene?"
The little girl placed her hands on her hips. "6 years old! I'm a grown woman!" I chuckled. "Well Irene, where are your parents?" She smiled. "They're sitting on that bench over there! I looked at the direction it was pointed to.
I saw a woman laying on a mans shoulder, holding hands. I blushed. "You have a good family Irene."
"Thanks."
I nodded.
"Hey Sora?"
"Mm?"
"Why are you so upset?"
I faced her.
"Who said I was upset?" I sad in nervously.
Irene placed her hands on her hips once again and said, "Sora, I can tell. I may be 6 years old, even a blind man could see it." My head had hung low.
"It's this girl." I confessed.
"Ooh! A girl? Or a girlfriend?" She teased. I shook my head. "Nuh-uh! She's not my girlfriend! I just.. made her upset!"
"Well what does this girl look like?" She asked.
I placed my finger to my chin to describe her. "Well she has shoulder length hair that was gorgeously red. She has violet eyes that had so much emotion with a blank stare. She had a very kind personality."
I slapped my mouth at what I had said. No. That wasn't me was it? It couldn't be! It just wasn't!
"Well, you description was good because she's right over there."
As soon as I looked at the direction she was pointing at, I locked eyes with violet eyes I wanted to see. I quickly looked away.
"Well what happened?"
I fiddled with my hands. "I made her sad." I sadly explained.
"Well! Go say sorry! Before I make your hair chocolate pudding!" I cringed. This girl sure knew how to threaten a boy.
I walked up to the red-head. Irene took my hand. "It's okay Sora, she'll forgive you, I know it."
I chuckled, "What are you a mind-reader now?" She nodded. "Yeah... I am." I scoffed. "As if. Prove it."
We both stopped. "Earlier when I said she was your girlfriend you asked yourself if it was really you that said that. You denied it. Well, at least you tried to."
My eyes grew wide. "Well you have a gift young lady." We reached Kairi and I began to fiddle with my hands. Irene had noticed the silence between the us and broke it. "Are you Kairi?" Kairi nodded in hesitation. "How about you?" She asked. "I'm Irene. I'm 6 years old! I'm a grown woman!"
Kairi had giggled. "Of course you are!" Irene's facial expression had gone from cheery to a apologetic expression. "Um, Sora wanted to say something. I be right back later." Irene ran off as Sora sat beside her.
"Listen Kairi, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it like that-"
"Then what did you mean it by?" She interuppted. "I just, wasn't really thinking. I'm so stupid." Kairi giggled. "Yeah you are. I forgive you Sora."
"Okay so I'm guessing you guys made up?" Both of us nodded. "Well I wanna go home." Kairi stood up. "I'll walk you to your parents. Sora I'll be back later." I nodded.
As Irene and Kairi walked, Irene blurted out, "He cares about you." Kairi shook her head. "He was only apologizing, if the situation was any different he wouldn't care a tiny bit."
"You'll understand soon Kairi." Irene whispered as she was reunited with her parents.
Kairi walked back to Sora as he stood up. "I guess we should walk home." Kairi nodded. "Right." I walked with her in silence.
We soon reached their homes. "I'll see you tomorrow Sora." I said my farewells.
Oh how the forgiveness felt good.
AN: Thank you for reviewing! Stay for the next chappie.
