Chapter 7: Here for You
It was 6 a.m. when Tai woke up to the roar of a convertible in front of the hospital. He walked over quietly to the window not to disturb the girl in the bed. It was the 'coward' he confronted last night, sitting in his car, waiting for the light to change. Tai was hoping Matt wouldn't drive off when it did.
From the car, Matt was still in turmoil. What Tai told him hours ago was impacting his senses to push the petal once he could. The radio he turned on to clear his mind was another push for him to turn around. Then, it started playing a song, one that he immediately recognized....
'She was
the window down,
and she talks over the sound,
of the cars that pass us by.
And, I don't know why but she's changed my mind.
Would you look at her, she looks at
me,
she's got me thinking about her constantly,
but she don't know how I feel.
But she carries on with out a doubt,
I wonder if she's figured it out,
I'm crazy for this girl.
Yeah I'm crazy for this girl.
This song hit him, for some reason, it was very familiar.....
She was the one to hold me,
the night the sky fell down.
And what was I thinking when,
the world didn't end.
Why didn't I know,
oh I know, I know now.
Would you look at her, she looks at
me,
she's got me thinking about her constantly,
but she don't know how I feel.
And then, she carries on without a doubt,
I wonder if she'll figured it out,
I'm crazy for this girl.
Yeah I'm crazy for this girl.
Then he knew why it was so special. This was the song that was playing in the park, the one both he and Sora heard from a radio near by.
Right now (right now),
face to face (face to face),
all my fears (all my fears),
pushed aside.
Right now (right now),
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life (of my life)
with you.
Would you look at her, she looks at
me,
she's got me thinking about her constantly,
but she don't know how I feel.
And then, she carries on without a doubt,
I wonder if she's figured it out,
I'm crazy for this girl.
Yeah I'm crazy for this girl.
The light turned green, but he didn't go. He continued to listen to the song that was so much in tune with his own feelings. It was when he heard this, did he remember what he was about to tell Sora before this happened.
Would you look at her, she looks at
me,
she's got me thinking about her constantly,
but she don't know how I feel.
And then, she carries on without a doubt,
I wonder if she's figured it out,
I'm crazy for this girl.
Yeah I'm crazy for this girl.'
He was going to let her know, and he was going to invite her on tour with him. But then she ended up in the hospital, and he started feeling guilty. Now he knew, that no matter what, he couldn't get rid of these feelings...
As Tai watched the boy thinking in his car, he thought that Matt might actually stay and turn his car around. Then Matt drove off in the direction unwanted. The sound of his engine immediately woke the sleeping damsel. She had ridden in Matt's car so many times she knew the familiar roar by now. That's why the look of distress overcame her face as the hum disappear.
"He's gone........ isn't he." she asked even though she had her answer.
Tai nodded yes, but kept his eyes still searching out the window. Some minutes passed by without a sound as Sora kept her thoughts from disturbing his.
"Argh!" Tai surprisingly hit the wall with his fist in frustration. "H.. How could he do this to you?!..."
"Taichi......" Sora spoke with the utmost sensitivity, "He did what he had to......"
"He had to leave you like this?!" Tai was still angered. "....I don't see how your not getting furious yourself. How can you go on, and still not hate him for this?"
"Because I love him......
" she finally said it, but at the wrong guy. "I'm not mad, because I
know that.... at least he gave me something... that is so priceless..... it
cannot hold hate...... Don't you see Taichi?..... I've gotten something, that
most people search their whole lives for and still don't have......
I've loved him...... and I have no regrets."
"Neither do I." there came the voice of someone listening in from the door way, as Matt stepped in with a dozen roses and a box of chocolates. He approached her bedside as he continue to look into the eyes of the one he's waited for so long. "Sora.... I love you.... and I'm sorry I even thought about abandoning you."
"It's okay... I'd knew you wouldn't desert me. I've always known." Sora's eyes were filled with tears of joy as Matt surprised her. And his lips met hers, though she was weak, that kiss was intense because it came from their hearts, which is always capable under the right circumstances.
Three weeks later, the doctors
found that Sora's rapidly growing tumor, had bafflingly disappeared! They had
called it a miracle. But Matt and Sora knew that it was the miracle of their
love that overcame the fatal disease.
After all, 'Love Conquers All".................
