Howdy everyone! Sorry it's been awhile, but I've been busy! (I wonder how many times that excuse has been used. But I swear, that's the honest truth!)
I want to go ahead and point some things between this story and Kinsella's "Remember Me?" If you're not interested, you can go ahead and skip to the chapter (Although you may wanna read at least the first sentence in the next paragraph!)
Ok, with the bad news: I don't think there will be anymore great Taiora scenes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! Please don't boo me, or throw rotten tomatoes! If, for some reason, I can find somewhere to throw in one last Taiora scene, I will do my best. But I highly doubt it, considering what happened in the last chapter and what happens in this one. The main character in "Remember Me?" does not interact much with her lover on the side (That was cheesy, but I just had to say that lol!). Her story is more centered around her family, friends, her job, and her HUSBAND.
That would be the next difference between the two stories. Yes, the main character in "Remember Me?" is MARRIED. I did NOT want to make Sora and Matt married, because I did not want Sora to find out that she was cheating on her husband, who, at some point, would have loved and swore to remain faithful to. That does not fit her character at all! So I set them as ENGAGED.
The last thing would be that the main character's husband. He is strict, and boring. Very Un-Mattish. He is not interested in anyone else but his wife. So the whole "Matt is falling for Mimi" deal is my idea. I'm making it this way, because I like mimato. There.
If I can think of any other differences, I'll put it in! But enough's enough! Let's go!
Chapter 11!
Chapter 11: Drastic Times
The doors opened and Sora tumbled into the house. Mimi, was right behind her, carrying tons of shoping bags, threw them onto the Sofa, and turned to look at Sora with concern. Matt hopped up from the couch as the two came in.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked, worried, putting an arm around Sora. He glanced at Mimi, before kissing Sora on the top of the head. "You don't look so well." Sora didn't respond, and just leaned into his embrace.
Mimi picked up several bags, and cleared her throat. "Well!" she said, looking down at the floor. "Uh, I'm gonna go back to my room and rest a bit. See you two later!"
When she disappeared down the hallway, Matt turned back to Sora. "Ok. So what happened?"
Sora sighed. The shopping trip was a disaster. Gwen had put the two together, and Sora was sure that the girl knew the truth. The excuse 'I don't know what you're talking about,' then running away, didn't hold very well. But like a deer in headlights, that was the best Sora could come up with. Mimi had followed her, asking questions left and right, but Sora was too stunned and lost in thought to answer.
"You know…Shopping with Mimi. It can be stressful!" She fibbed.
Matt gave her a doubtful look before turning his attention back to the game on TV. Sora went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of sweet tea, before heading out to the balcony. She sighed once more, as she rested her head in her hands, over looking the city.
Tai said no one knew…Gwen didn't know, but she's figured it out. For crying out loud, how stupid have I become!? I had to have known that we were going to get caught sooner or later! And now that Gwen is suspicious of us, who knows what the bumbling idiot may do!
The door behind her slid shut, and she glanced over shoulder. "Hey Meems," she greeted.
Mimi rubbed her arms, shaking off the light breeze. "Hey," she responded, leaning on the rail beside Sora.
"So…"
"Yeah."
Mimi laughed nervously. "That was uh, some shopping spree!"
Sora tossed Mimi an apologetic look. "Sorry."
Mimi looked at her, waving her hands. "No! Wait, no, that's not what I meant." She paused, looking down on the streets of Odaiba. "I meant with, Gwen," she said, carefully.
Blush filled Sora's cheeks, as she pushed off the railing, and finished her glass of sweet tea. "Yeah. she's uh, a little odd."
"A little odd? She favored after the Crest of Sincerity! Do you know who came up with that phony quiz?"
Sora shrugged, setting her empty glass on the bar. She sat down on the bar stool, swiveling around. "No clue."
Mimi whipped the magazine out, and Sora chuckled. "You just had to buy one, didn't you..." she teased.
Mimi grinned, studying the quiz. "You want to take it?" Mimi joked.
"Pssh… I know my crest." Bullshit.
Mimi turned her attention to Sora. "What?" Sora asked, when Mimi didn't say anything.
"So who's this George who looks like Tai?" Mimi questioned.
Sora took a step back, before turning completely. Think Takenouchi! Dammit! This is all your fault Tai! "Uh...."
Mimi stepped up behind her. "I'm gonna take a wild guess," she whispered in her ear. She took a step back, and studied Sora's flushed expression. She pursed her lips, before speaking again. "You and Tai are actually friends, and to avoid publicity, you call him George?"
Sora rolled her eyes. If you only knew Meems… "Yeah." She breathed out.
Mimi flopped onto a stool beside her, leaning on the bar counter. "Well, that's a relief! I could go with my first instinct and say that you and Tai are more than friends, and that you're sneaking behind Matt's back…" She stopped when Sora's face paled.
"Oh God."
Sora's eyes widened. "What??" she panicked.
Mimi's throat went dry. "That's what it is. You…." She swallowed. "Oh my god!" she shrieked. "You and Tai!! You two are-"
Sora reached over and placed her hand on Mimi's mouth. "Mimi!! Be quiet!!" she hissed.
She slowly removed her hand, and buried her face in them. Mimi sat in shock. She knew truth when she saw it, and the truth about this was a cold slap in the face. She glared at Sora.
"You're cheating on Matt??" She whispered loudly.
Sora glared back at her. "Meems! Listen, I'm about as surprised as you are! I didn't know I was!"
Mimi looked away. Sheesh, as mad as she was at Sora for playing around with Matt's emotions and sneaking around behind his back, she was practically just as guilty. So she did the only thing to ignore the guilt:
She wrapped her arms around Sora.
"Have you talked to Tai about it?" she asked.
Sora nodded. "He was the one who told me."
"Is he telling you the truth?"
Sora rolled her eyes at her. "Meems. It's Tai. I don't think he would lie about this. Plus, he sucks at lying."
"Good point," she said, releasing Sora.
Sora threw her hands up and sighed. "Honestly Mimi, I don't know how I got here. How did I end up with Matt? I mean, yeah I know how, but I never would've dreamed my life would end up like this!"
Mimi swallowed the nervousness away. "Well Bearer of Love, What are you going to do?" she asked.
Sora shrugged, and climbed off her stool. "Think on it some more." She took her glass, and headed inside, leaving Mimi out in the wind.
Mimi shook her head. Bearer of Love… She has to know that I still love him. She frowned, as she flipped open the magazine to work on the quiz.
Sora wandered into the bedroom, where Matt was sitting. He was staring at the wall, but his mind was totally elsewhere.
She stopped, and rapped her knuckles on the doorframe. "Hey. Mind if I come in?"
Matt twisted around to look at her. "Oh. Yeah, c'mon in." He stood up, and walked over to the dresser as if searching for something.
"What's on you mind?" she asked, sitting on the bed.
He looked back at her, and shrugged. "Nothing. Just…Thinking."
"Obviously. About what?"
He sat down again on the bed, beside her, smoothing away some wrinkles. "Well, I don't want to mention the idea until you have your memory back."
Sora frowned. "Now you have tell me."
Matt grinned at her. "It's…a pretty crazy idea, and I'll totally understand if-"
Sora laid a hand on his shoulder. "Matt. What is it?"
Matt exhaled, and rubbed his hands together. "Well…what do you think about moving to America?"
Sora's eyes widened. "What!?" America? Leave my family behind? And my friends? And Tai? No. Forget him.
Matt shook his head, jumping up from the bed. "See! I knew I should've waited until you got your memory back!" He turned around to look at her. "Look, I was just reasoning. It would be more convenient for me, since I'll be working with NASA, you could introduce your line of clothing over there…We could even move to New York! You'd have Mimi with you!"
Sora's eyes narrowed a bit. "Are you being serious??"
"I seriously am considering it," He answered, honestly.
Sora looked down at her hands. "I…I don't know Matt. I mean, it's too much right at the moment, too fast."
Matt kneeled to the floor, taking her hands into his. "I totally understand. That's why I wanted to wait to mention it to you, when you got your memory back." He sighed, running a hand through his blonde hair. "But at least you have a heads up!" His blue eyes looked into her auburn orbs. "But will you promise me you'll think about it?"
Sora did her best not to frown. "I will." Thought about it! No.
Matt leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Thanks," He whispered against her cheek. He shifted slightly, his lips brushing lightly over hers. Sora scrunched her eyes, and kissed him back. Forget Tai!! I need to do this! He's my Fian-
Matt jerked back and quickly got onto his feet, his face beet red. Sora stood up as well. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…"
"No!" He said, grabbing her arm. "No, it's not you fault, I just…I…Uh, never mind. It just surprised me," he mumbled.
Sora nodded, feeling stupid. "Um, I think I'm gonna…go for a walk."
He looked up at her. "You want me to go with you?" he offered.
She waved a hand at him. "No, I'll be ok. I just need sometime alone. I'll be back in a little bit." She said shuffling out the door.
Matt watched her, and listened as the elevator doors shut. He sighed, as he made his way back to the living room, and flopped onto the couch. He tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling.
He reached for his soda that was still on the coffee table beside him. How many times have I kissed Sora? He wondered, taking a swig of coke. Plenty, and yet, I think of Mimi…
The French doors of the balcony opened. "I can't believe it! Where's the phone?? I need to call up Davis right now!"
Mimi marched into the living room, and Matt stared at the vexed beauty. All hints of frustration washed away when she looked at him. "You."
"You," He responded.
Mimi shook her head, and pressed her fingers on her temples. "Sorry. I forgot you were here."
"Last time I checked, it was my house."
Mimi folded the magazine under her arm, looked at the floor, not saying anything. "What's got you in a tizzy?" He asked.
Mimi looked back up at him. Her mind flashed back to the conversation they had the other night. They both agreed that it was an accident, and they would be careful next time. No, She thought, twisting a strand of hair. There is no next time! Matt went as far to say he thought they shouldn't be alone together, and Mimi agreed, even though she didn't want to.
But now, the two alone together in the same room, Mimi felt a little flustered.
"Uh, Where is everyone?"
Matt shrugged. "Sora went for a walk. I think the digimon said they were going to the digital world for a little bit."
Mimi nodded again. "Well, I'll see you later!"
Matt jumped up. "Wait." He stood there looking at her. Finally he sighed. "Ok, I know we said we'd keep our distance, but you don't have to keep hiding from me. If you that in front of Sora, she's gonna wanna know what's wrong with you!"
"But I thought-"
Matt stepped forward, and guided her to the couch. "It's fine Meems, really. Now what were you freaking about earlier?"
Mimi forgot about the magazine she was holding in her hands. The situation at hand was a much bigger problem.
"Oh. Well, this quiz…" she showed Matt the article, and went on as he studied it. "I took the quiz thinking I would end up with The Crest of Sincerity, and I ended up with the Crest of Courage!" She gave a nervous laugh. "I'm nothing like Tai! Do you know who came up with this quiz?" She watched him ignore her. "Davis!" she answered. "Like he knows everyone's crests! Ha!" she scoffed.
Matt looked at the questions. He laughed at one in particular. "'If a garbage man came after you and your friends with a bag of trash, you would: A) Run B) Fight Back C) Ponder over your options D) Worry about the others E) Join in the fun!'" He looked up at her. "You circled B."
"Well I would!"
Matt laughed. "Mimi! The Garbagemon?? Don't you remember?"
Mimi stared at him, before a smile crept onto her face. "Ok," she said, giving a small chuckle. "So I did run." She gave him a little nudge. "Hey, you weren't even there, Mr. I'm-gonna-do-my-own-thing."
But," Matt said, with amusement. "If I hadn't shown up, you all would still be running from them!"
"Ha! Lilymon could've taken them down just fine!" she declared.
"Keep telling yourself that, princess," He joked.
He went over the rest of the questions with her. He persuaded to change 16 out of the 20 questions. He brushed the eraser marks away and showed her page.
"Sincerity…" she said, adding the points in her head.
Matt held up the magazine. "Mimi, I really don't understand why you answered some of these the way you did," He laughed.
"I just…Sheesh, having this crest with my personality sucks!" she huffed, her bangs floating upwards, landing in a mess over her face.
"Why?" Matt asked.
Mimi rolled her eyes. "Because!! Because, I'm…I'm clueless, A little forgetful, I can be arrogant..."
"Meems-"
"Don't 'Meems' me!" she shot him a look. "I can be very honest with myself! After all," she said mockingly, "I have the crest of Sincerity! I'm alot like that Gwen girl."
Matt turned to look at her. "No." He said, firmly. "You're nothing like her! You have a big heart, you're fun, you're thoughtful, you're…" he stopped, when Mimi looked away, her face flaming red.
He closed his eyes, and exhaled. "You're beautiful."
She looked back at him, her eyes wide. But He went on, his eyes still closed. "Your smile is brilliant." He gave a small smile as he continued. "Your eyes speak volumes; I always lose myself in them. Your hair is tempting. I always want to run my hands through it." He opened his eyes again and looked at her. "You scare me. You confuse me. You leave me speechless. I want to run away from you, but yet, I want to be right beside you."
Mimi sat in stunned silence. Matt stood up and walked towards the window. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"Matt."
He turned around, Mimi standing right behind him. "I think I'm falling in love with you."
His eyes widened. He felt his heart jump; He was about to protest, when she leaned up on her toes and kissed him. At that, all common sense left him, and he returned the kiss. He ran his fingers through her hair, satisfying his craving of her.
She pulled away slowly. "I still need to wring Davis's neck..." she whispered against his lips.
"Later." he said, as he pulled her against him, and tasted her lips again.
Sora soon found herself in the park, not even realizing where she was wandering. She looked up and saw the trolley. She grinned at the sight of it. She climbed into the trolley, and laid down on the green cushions. She truly did love this place; it was a great place just to think. It reminded her of the digital world so much, which also reminded her of Tai. She remembered that Gennai wanted them to return the trolley to San Francisco, but when the US found out about the digidestined using the trolley, they told Japan to keep it, as a gift for the digidestined. So Odaiba set the trolley up as a memorial in the park. She soon heard footsteps.
The doors opened and none other than Tai stepped onto the bus. He seemed surprised that she was there. "Hey," he said after a moment.
She glanced at him. "Hey yourself," She answered.
Tai sat down across from her, his eyes fixated on her. Her gaze was focused on the ceiling, not even acknowledging him. Something wasn't right. He knew when Sora Takenouchi was mad, and today, he knew, she was furious.
"I had an interesting day," She said.
Oh crap, straight to the point. what did I do?? "Yeah?"
She slowly turned her head to look at him. "I went shopping with Mimi."
He shoved his hands in his pockets. "So you guys are friends again, huh?"
She gave him an irritated look. "As far as I know, we always were friends."
Tai didn't say a word. She went on.
"We stopped at Palette Town, to shop in Venus Fort, and guess who we saw?"
Tai racked his brain. Be prepared, he thought.
"I have no idea."
"Gwen."
Tai nodded slowly, trying to figure out what was wrong. "Ah. Well, that's great."
Sora shook her head, glaring at him. "Not so much."
"Why's that?"
She sat up, staring at him directly in his eyes. "Because Gwen made the connection between you and frickin George."
"Shit." That's not good.
She folded her arms across her chest. "So what's your bright idea now?"
Tai raised his eyebrows at her. "My idea?"
"How are you going to explain this to Gwen??"
Tai shrugged. "Why does it have to be me? You have a part in this too!"
"I'm the one with the blank memory, idiot!" she spat.
Tai sighed, irritated. "Fine. What all happened?"
Sora retold the story to him, of how Gwen put the pieces together, and how she freaked out and ran off. "I don't know her well enough to know what she's going to do," Sora finished.
Tai ran a hand through his hair. "Well, lets just hope she doesn't do anything. Maybe she'll forget."
Sora looked at him, a little skeptical. "Right. Like I'm sure that'll happen."
Tai shrugged again. "Well hey, it's Gwen. She's a nugget short of a happy meal. Even if she were to say anything, I bet no one would believe her. And we can go on with our lives."
"Why are we acting like this anyways?" she asked, suddenly.
He felt his pulse jump. "What do you mean?"
Sora gave him an icy glare. "You know, all this sneaking around…"
Tai hesiated. "Well, because you're with Matt."
"So why haven't I left him?"
Tai suddenly felt uncomfortable. "Please Sora, I really don't want to talk…"
Sora stood up. "No Tai. I've asked you before, and you pushed it away. I want to know why I'm not with you." She said firmly. Tai looked down at him lap.
"Because…Do you remember when I told you about the Christmas Concert?" Tai asked. Sora thought about it for a minute, before nodding.
"I…I didn't stop you."
"Huh?"
"I pushed you to Matt. I…I just wanted you to be happy. And if Matt made you happy, then so be it. But I… wasn't happy. I couldn't stand it. Sure, we were still friends and all, but deep down, I knew that our friendship wasn't on a strong foundation any more."
"But if we love each other, like you say we do, then why aren't we together?" Sora, asked, tears forming in her eyes. When Tai didn't answer, she dropped her head and moaned. "It's because I still love Matt too, right?"
Tai sighed. "Your accident…"
Sora looked up at him. "What about it?"
"It's partially my fault."
Sora was confused. "You were there?"
Tai shook his head. "No, no. I was…you were…" He sighed, and looked away. "You were on your way to break if off with Matt when you had you're accident."
Sora was stunned. "Are you serious?"
Tai nodded. "You had just left my house. We were sorta arguing, about this whole thing, and you were so mad, you decided that you were going home that night, and tell Matt everything. You said you'd be fine, and that you would call me after it was over. But I didn't hear from you that night, or the next day, and the day after that, and was starting to worry. I finally contacted Izzy and he told me that you were in accident. I rushed over to his apartment, and you were there."
Sora nodded, remembering the way he acted at Izzy's apartment. "But that still doesn't answer my question. Why are we acting like this?"
Tai looked up at her with pain in his eyes. "Sora, let's just stop and…"
"I don't want to break Matt's heart, is that what it is? He loves me and I still love him?"
"Sora, let's talk about it when-"
"No! Dammit, I want to know what love is!!" Sora finally cried out. "I was trying to figure out love the other day, and now, 5 years later, I still can't make up my mind about it?? God, I've screwed up my life!" She shook into sobs.
"No," Tai whispered. He got up and moved to sit beside Sora, wrapping him arms around her. "Please don't cry. I can't stand it when you cry."
Sora pulled away from him. "Matt wants to move to America," she said, bitterly.
Tai's mouth dropped open. Now that was a surprise. "What?? You can't be serious! You're not actually going, are you?"
Sora shook her head. "Are you kidding?? This is my home! I would never do that! But Matt wants to move there because of work."
"More like he wants to see Mimi more often." Tai scoffed.
Sora glared at him. "Don't you dare say anything bad about Matt! Just because your jealous doesn't give you the right to bad mouth anyone!" The confusion she had been carrying for weeks was now pouring out of her as anger. "What if I had gone in that store with Matt?? He'd flip a lid!!" she freaked.
"Sora! Just calm down! You didn't go in there with Matt, so what's your problem?" Tai snapped back.
"God Tai! You can be so arrogant! I thought the Digital World did you some good, but I can see now that you're still the same!"
"And weren't you just saying how you can't figure out love?? That is your crest right?" He shot back, without hestitation.
Sora stood up now, her hand raised, to strike him across his cheek. But instead, she brought it to her face, along with her other hand, and began to cry.
Tai instantly felt horrible. "Sora, I'm sorry. please forgive me. I shouldn't have said that, you know that's not true. You do know your crest. I was just mad and..." He stopped, watching the tears roll down her face. Shit! "You just have to remember give it time. I do want to help, honest."
He stood up to hug Sora, but she pushed him away. "No. I don't want your help Taichi Kamiya," She hissed, looking him straight in the eye. She turned around and stepped off the bus. Tai followed right behind her. The clouds had rolled in, and fat drops of rain began to fall. "You're right about one thing: I do know my crest," she said loudly, her voice echoing in the empty park. "And I know love is sincere and honest, not sneaking around and being deceitful. And if that's what we do, then I'm sorry, but I don't love you Tai."
Tai felt like he was just slugged in the chest. He was now struggling to hold the tears in. "Sora wait. You don't mean that..."
"Just…shut up!" She screamed at him, holding her hands over her ears. "Shut the hell up and leave me alone!" She screamed one more time, before running from the trolley.
Tai watched as his love sprinted across the park. "No, Sora," he called after her. But it was too late. Tai stood in the grass watching her run until he couldn't see her anymore. Even after she had disappeared he continued to stand there. He turned around, and rammed his fist into the side of the trolley.Shit. What the hell was I thinking? He let his head fall forward into the trolley with a solid thud. Dammit!! When will I ever learn to control my mouth!? Tears were filling his eyes but were still unwilling to fall. He took in an unsteady breath, as he jammed his hands in his pockets.
What's this?
Tai fished out something from pocket. When he saw what it let the tears fall freely. Shit, I was going to give this to her too. Tai tossed the item into the grass before walking away.
Sora really wasn't paying attention to where she was going. Her mind was a million miles away. But when her feet stopped moving, she took in her surroundings.
She suddenly realized she was standing outside Izzy's door.
How do I know where Izzy lives, but I can't find my own house? She thought, as she rang the buzzer.
There was moment of silence before she heard the latch click, and Izzy pulled the door open. "Sora!" Izzy exclaimed. "What happened? Are you ok?"
Sora pushed past Izzy. " No, I'm not." She flopped down on his couch, before standing back up. "Is this a good time?"
Izzy gestured her to sit back down. "For you, anytime. Go ahead I'm listening," he said, as he made his way to the kitchen.
"Well," Sora said with a shaky breath. "I'm…I'm just very disappointed in my life. I thought I would've made some good decisions but all I know is that my life is pretty crappy right now."
Izzy returned with two glasses of sweet tea. Sora took a sip before continuing. "You and I have gotten close right?" She asked.
Izzy shrugged with a nod. "Sure."
"Do I tell you everything?"
"Well, not everything, but some," Izzy said taking a sip of his tea.
"Then would it shock you if I said I was cheating on Matt?" she asked.
Izzy spewed his tea onto the coffee table. "You're what??" He said, looking at her incredulously.
Sora suddenly became nervous. Uh, maybe this wasn't a good idea… She thought. "I…never mind."
"No, Sora, I heard you right. I had my theories but…I didn't think...." Izzy looked at Sora's sadden face. He grabbed some napkins, and began wiping down the coffee table. "Did Matt find out?"
"No, Matt doesn't know."
Izzy shifted uncomfortably. "May I inquire who it is that you've been seeing?"
Sora took in a deep breath. "Izzy. Were good friends, so I'm going to be honest with you. But I'd like it if you kept it to yourself until I've talked it over with Matt."
Izzy nodded, and Sora sighed. "It's Tai."
Izzy's sat there stunned. "No! It can't be! You and Tai? You two don't even talk to each other anymore!"
"Apparently it was an act!" Sora buried her face in her hands. She could feel the tears coming again. "At least that's what he told me," she moaned into her hands.
Izzy didn't know what to say. He set his drink down on the table. "Sora, This whole thing is baffling! You don't need to be more confused than you already are. You need to take things easy, until you've gained your memory back. Don't even worry about this nonsense! I wish I could just erase your problem so I could help you escape from this whole thing, but personally I would…"
Sora stopped listening.
Take things easy.
Erase Your Problem.
Escape from this whole thing. She suddenly stood up.
"Izzy," She said looking at him. "You've been a great friend. I think I know what to do."
He stood up with her. "Ok. Uh, what's that?"
She told him.
"Well... I did..n't mean that, but-" Izzy stammered.
Sora stopped him. "It's ok. This is what I need to do."
Half an hour later, It was now dark out. Izzy had pulled up in front of her building to drop her off. "Sora, I wish you would reconsider you options here…"
Sora gave him a look, silencing him of his protest. "…But if this is what you truly want…I'll miss you." He finished.
"Thanks for everything Izzy," she said giving him a small hug. "I'll keep you updated, and I promise to call."
"You better. I'll see you later."
She gave him a sad smile, before climbing out of his car. As she made her way up to the penthouse, she thought about changing her mind. I'm really going to miss everyone...Mom, Dad, Izzy Tai...No. She shook her head. I need to do this.
When she walked in, Matt, Mimi, and the digimon were watching a movie.
"Matt?" Sora called, softly. Matt flinched, and Mimi jumped to her feet. "Sora!" He said, twisting around to look at her. "I didn't even hear you come in!"
Sora gave a small smile. "Can I talk to you real quick?" She asked.
Matt's eyes shifted to Mimi before coming back to Sora's. "Uh, sure."
They walked outside and sat out by the pool. Sora kicked her shoes off, and stuck her feet in the pool. She leaned back and looked up into the stars. Matt sat down on a lawn chair, leaning forward so his elbows rested on his knees. "So, uh, what's up?" he asked her.
"Matt…I want to move to America."
Matt's jaw dropped. "Are…Are you sure?"
Sora nodded, gritting her teeth to prevent the tears. "Positive. And since your mission is in September, I thought we should go ahead and move ASAP."
Matt slowly got off the chair and sat down beside her. "Did you get your memory back?" he asked softly.
Sora looked into his eyes. "No."
"Then how can you be so sure?"
Sora looked away and looked across the water. "Because…I believe this is just the right thing to do for us."
Matt gave her an odd look. "No, that's not all."
Sora sighed. "I want to get away."
"Get away? From what?"
She threw her hands in the air. "From this! I just… I need to find myself again. And I don't think I can do it here." She said. Well, Sorta,She thought.
"Sora, I don't know…But if this is what you really want…" Matt said, a little hesitant.
"Yes." Sora answered, firmly.
Done! Finally!
I hoped this chapter made sense. I had stay up I think it was Monday night, working on it, tweaking it here and there, and when I went to save it, it had logged me off.
GAH!!!
And I had it just where I wanted it! But, oh well, I wanted to get this chapter done and over with! So if it seems rushed, well, that would be why.
Now about the chapter....
Please don't hate me!! I'm really sorry! I had to do it though!! But hey, everything works out for the best!
Let me know what you think!
R&R!
