Namine walked up the stairs to The clock tower. As she got home from the hospital,She got a letter from Sora to meet him there.
She finally reached the top and carefully walked to the edge. She looked around for Sora,no sign of him. Namine looked out at the sunset,it was getting late
"Hey Namine."
The blond turned to see Sora standing a few feet away from her,He was leaning against the tower"hey Sora,so what's this about?"
He moved closer to her,grabbing her hand"Namine...I know that,you've made your choice and I totally respect that but.."
She gazed up at his face intently,he seemed so sad,it ached Namine deeply"but what Sora?"
Sora finally looked at her,He swallowed hard,rubbing her hand with his fingers"I know that I really screwed up with you...god I wish I could take it back."
Namine moved close to him,putting her hands on his shoulders"Sora,you did screw up..a lot,but I forgive you for that."
He chuckled,rubbing a hand through his hair"god your so good to me and I don't deserve it...none of it."
"what do you mean?"She asked,very confused
"I screwed up the best thing I had...I'm so sorry Namine!"He cried,falling to his knees,hugging her around the waist
Namine stared down at him,completely confused,she rubbed his head gently"Sora..what's wrong?"
He got to his feet,tears running down his cheeks"I'm leaving."
"what do you mean by leaving?"She whispered
Sora cleared his throat"I'm moving."
what? moving? no! She screamed in her head. She shook her head back and forth"no!Sora you can't."
He looked past her out at the sky"what else can I do Namine?I can't stay here...it's hard seeing you with Ven...and now you both have a baby...another torment for me."
"so you think running away is the answer?"Namine challenged him
"I know,it's the cowards way out...but I don't really care."Sora mumbled
She sighed,brushing her hair back as the wind blowed,She put her hand on his arm"Sora...I don't want to lose you."
"haven't you already?"He asked,turning to face her"even when we were a real couple I don't think you loved me,you were just "trying" to move on."
Her eyes widened as she stepped back,feeling like she had been slapped"what? are you saying I used you?"
Sora laughed,and there was nothing warm or friendly about it,it was cold"come on Namine...it's always been Ven!always,you never got over him."
Namine bent her head low,sniffling she raised her head back up to him"Sora,I did love you...I wasn't using you at all."
He didn't respond,He turned back to the sunset,Namine growled in frustration"don't you remember how much fun we had together?when we were a couple?"
"I do."Sora replied,his back still to her
"I know it may seem like I used you...but I didn't,I did fall in love with you...you help me so much when Ven was in a coma...you were there for me when He couldn't be."She said quietly
He turned to her"I still love you Namine,and I can't be here,knowing he's the one in bed next to you,holding you,kissing you,making you happy...I can't take it anymore."
Namine's lips trembled"Sora...please you can't leave."
"why?you seem just fine without me."He whispered harshly
"no I need you here."She insisted
Sora wrapped his arms around her,holding her close,Namine layed her head on his chest,closing her eyes"you can't leave."She whispered,her voice soft
He looked in her in the eyes"I have to,there's nothing for me here. besides you and Ven can finally be together."His voice broke at the last part
a tear fell from her eye,Sora gently wiped it away,She nuzzled his hand with her cheek"Sora,please."
He kissed her cheek softly and pulled back"you'll always be the only girl I love Namine."
Namine closed her eyes tightly,clutching her chest"don't go Sora.."she could feel a piece of her heart braking
Sora gently brushed past her,taking a deep breath"I'm leaving on the train tomorrow,you can come and see me there,one last time."
She quickly turned to him"Sora please,don't do this!"she yelled but he was already halfway down the stairs.
Namine quietly closed the apartment door,She knew Calista was sleeping,She had been before Namine left for the clock tower. She peeked in the bedroom,Ven was sleeping with their daughter tucked into his side. Namine smiled warmly at the scene.
She walked over to the couch and sank into it,She couldn't get the scene with Sora out of her head"god...what can I do?"She asked herself
"Nami?"
She gasped raising her head,she met a worried looking Ven"oh..Ven.I-uh I didn't wake you did I?"
He kneeled down in front of her,cupping her cheek softly"what's wrong?"
The blond girl looked down at her lap as she clasped her hands together"Sora's leaving town."She started,swallowing the lump in her throat"and I..don't want him to."
Ven looked surprised"so he's really going to do it."He whispered
This caught Namine's attention,She looked at him hard"what? y-you knew he was going to leave?"
"I didn't think he would actually do it."He said,grabbing her hand,She yanked it away and stood up pacing"so you knew and you didn't tell me?"Her voice slightly raised
Ven stood up,looking at her with a pleading look"Nami..I didn't tell you because..."His voice trailed off
"because of what?"She spat
His eyes met hers with slight hesitation"because I knew you would be angry.I knew you wouldn't want him to leave."
Namine narrowed her eyes at him"of course I don't want him to leave!I need him here."Her eyes widened at the last part,she didn't mean for it to come out
"what?why would you need him?you have me!"Ven said,his voice raising too
She sighed,lowering her head"I..didn't mean it the way it sounded."She finally looked back up"Ven...Sora is special to me.I know you only see him as "The other guy" but He's special."Her voice softened at the last part
Ven didn't say anything,he looked at the ground,the shadows covering his eyes"I see.."He turned around and walked to the bedroom"I'm going to bed."
Namine groaned and slapped her head.*great,just great* She thought as she sat back on the couch.
The next day,Namine went out strolling with Calista in her stroller. They went strolling through the park. Ven was at work.
"mommy why did you and daddy have a fight?"questioned the young child
Namine looked startled by the question"you heard that?we thought you were asleep."
The baby smiled innocently"you were kinda loud."
The blond girl sighed,pushing the stroller along the grass"I keep forgetting your so smart for your age."
Calista just giggled. Namine looked over at the swings,she saw some kids playing. and was immediately reminded of the fun she used to have with Roxas and Ven. When they were all younger.
*ring ring*
immediately brought out of her thoughts,Namine fished for her cell phone. She finally pulled it out and answered on the 3rd ring"Hello?"
"Nami..I'm sorry about our fight last night."Ven responded
She looked down at Calista,holding her tiny hand"I'm sorry too. but you have to understand...Sora is important to me."
"if he's so important..then why didn't you choose him?"Ven yelled suddenly
This caused Namine to jump,she pulled the phone away from her ear"don't yell at me!I chose you...because I love you."
"obviously not enough." then He hung up
Namine frowned at the phone. She sighed and put it back in her bag. She looked at her daughter"come on honey..I gotta drop you off at uncle Roxas's house."
"why?"Calista asked,worrying written on her little baby cheeks
"because Mommy has to go talk to Daddy."*more like yell at him* She thought as she pushed the stroller along the way
A few minutes later. Namine knocked on The door,She had Calista in her arms,wrapped in a blanket,The little darling fell asleep on the way.
The door sooned opened,revealing a shirtless Roxas in his boxers. She chuckled"just waking up Roxas?"
He rolled his eyes"yeah,what brings you here?"
She brushed past him into the apartment"I need you to watch Calista for me."
Roxas ruffled his hair,scrunching up his face"why?"He let out a low yawn
Namine carefully put Calista on the couch,then dropped the diaper bag next to the couch. She kissed the little baby's head then turned to Roxas
"because."She turned to make sure the baby was still sleeping"I need to go settle things with Ven...we had a fight last night. and another one just now."
Roxas crossed his arms"you two had not one but two fights? all at once...but you two hardly ever fight."
The blond girl clasped her hands together nervously"we do...when it's about Sora."
He raised his eyebrows"about Sora? god...what about him now?"
"He's leaving and I told Ven I don't want that...and Ven pretty much went nuts."She said softly
"you expect him not to?come on Namine...you know how much Ven hates Sora. and when you say you don't want him to leave...that makes Ven think something else."Roxas said,in a know-it-all- voice
Namine groaned and closed her eyes,she rubbed her forehead"I can't take anymore drama."
"looks like your the one causing it."He teased,shuffling past her and putting a shirt on
"I don't understand why Ven hates Sora.I mean sure He's hurt me a lot in the past...but He's also saved me too."She said following him
Roxas looked at her as he was zipping up his pants"well it's a guy thing."
Namine rolled her eyes"well you guys have stupid reasons."
"I guess we do."He chuckled.
a few minutes later. She strolled into the diner,Namine looked around for her future husband. but He wasn't at the front counter. She walked up to the counter
a blond boy looked up"Good day,what can I get you?"He greeted
Namine looked at the name tag,She smiled"yes, Hayner. can you tell me where Ven is at?"
Hayner scratched the back of his head"uh yeah,he went 's on break."
"thank you so much."She said as she headed out the side door.
As soon as she stepped outside,She heard voices. voices that sounded like they were arguing
"it's not her fault,ok!It's mine,so stop yelling at her!"
"your the cause for this you just had to get someone to run me over!"
Namine's eyes widened,She knew exactly who those two voices belonged to. She peeked around the corner,sure enough there was Ven and Sora
"well it didn't work,your still here aren't you?"Sora snapped at him
Namine raced up to them"stop it you two!"
Ven looked away from her gaze"what are you doing here?"
Her eyes narrowed into slits"I needed to talk to you."She looked at Sora"why are you here?"
He sighed tiredly"I was getting something to eat. my train leaves soon."
Namine felt her heart break. so he's still going to leave? She gulped"w-well I'm glad your here.I think we all need to talk."
"your glad he's here? of course."Ven mumbled
"Ven stop it! now both of you sit down."She demanded
Sora sat down as Ven reluctantly sat beside him. both waited as the blond girl paced around in front of them.
Namine took a deep breath before she turned to them" First of all,Sora you can't leave, your my best friend,you can't abandon me."
Sora raised an eyebrow in question. Ven rolled his eyes"I don't think friendship is what you want from him."
She narrowed her eyes at the blond boy"Second of all,Ven you need to stop being a jealous jerk!."
Ven looked at her with deep pain in his eyes"can you blame me?you still love Sora! I can tell."
Namine frowned at him"no I don't. your the one I'm marrying,remember?"
Sora winced in pain,He closed his eyes and stood"you know what?I'm gonna go,I have a train to catch."
"no your not!"She snapped and grabbed his arm,She yanked him so hard,He crashed into her,causing them both to fall in a heap,Namine was on the bottom
"oww"She moaned,then her eyes widened as she realized the position she was in with Sora
"see?"Ven growled,He was looking down at them
Sora looked down at Namine,his eyes gazing into hers"Namine..I have to leave."He whispered
She shook her head"no you don't...you can still be here."
He shook his head slowly"I can't."He finally got off of her,Helping her to her feet.
Ven crossed his arms,sadness was all over his face. Namine stood there,a little dizzy from the fall. Sora started walking away
"Sora...wait."She called,He stopped,slowly turning back to her"what?"
She slowly approached him"I'm so sorry how things turned out for us."
He smiled and cupped her cheek"at least I got to love you for a little while."He leaned in and kissed her cheek
Namine closed her eyes,tears slowly coming down her cheeks"I'm so sorry."she kissed his cheek in return
Sora parted from her,slowly letting go of her hand"good bye Namine."
"good bye Sora."She whispered,watching him leave.
Ven walked to his car,He couldn't take standing there watching them. His heart was braking,again.
"Ven wait!"
He turned to see Namine running towards him,She looked at him with sad eyes"your not leaving me too...are you?"
he wrapped his arms around her to him"I'm not Nami...I'm here."
She sobbed into his chest,wrapping her arms tightly around him. He cupped her face and brought his lips to hers. She kissed back,running her fingers through his hair.
"I'm sorry Ven."She whispered in his ear. He looked at her in surprise"no Nami...I'm sorry. you were right,I was a jealous jerk."
Her eyes softened,she ran her fingers against his cheek"let's go get Calista,then go home."
He nodded"okay."
They both got in his car and drove off to Roxas's house.
