Always
Part 3: Decisions
It had been three months since Sora and her move had moved and things hadn't gotten much better for Sora. They only thing that kept her going was playing soccer and the hope that someday she would be back home where she belonged. Back with her friends and the boy she loved so much…
One Tuesday afternoon, Sora trudged through the door of her apartment, just home from soccer practice. Sora was so depressed; she didn't even notice her mom sitting at the kitchen, balancing her checkbook. Sora just continued walking to her room.
Sora tossed her red and black duffel bag on her bed. The colors reminded her of the sneakers she'd had in the digiworld 6 years ago. She smiled as she thought about the great adventures she and the other digidestined had then. Sora had always been the one looking out for Tai, always by his side no matter what. On the flip side, Tai had always protected her; never letting anything hurt her.
Sora sighed. How she longed to be back in Tai's strong arms, hearing him say he loved her. She missed him so much. She sighed again and sat down at her desk to do her homework.
The next morning Sora woke up early, as usual, got ready, picked up her backpack and was off to school. "Bye Mom," Sora said, just as depressed as ever. She hurried out the door before her mom had a chance to answer.
Mrs. Takenouchi just stood there, staring after her daughter.
"What have I done?" she thought. "I thought moving would be good for her. Get her out of her routine. But it was just the opposite. I've turned her into a depressed wreck." Mrs. Takenouchi sank into a chair "and it's all my fault. I had to put Sora through all this just because of a business opportunity. My only daughter is falling apart all because I wanted a bigger flower shop." Mrs. Takenouchi sighed and stood up. She started walking down the hall to Sora's room to gather her dirty clothes.
As she opened the door to her daughter's room, a thought crossed Mrs. Takenouchi's mind, "I wonder what's gotten Sora so down anyway?"
When Mrs. Takenouchi walked into Sora's room, she noticed a beat up spiral notebook sitting open on the desk. She walked over and stared down at it, thinking, "I don't mean to snoop but maybe this'll give me some clue as to what's going on with Sora." She started to read the page the book was open to. It was filled with Sora's neat handwriting and said:
Dec 14
I talked to Izzy again today. He's been the greatest friend I could hope for. I don't know what I would have done without him. He just seems to understand. I took hi advice and joined the soccer team at school. It's not as great as my team back home but it keeps me from moping around the house thinking about Tai. But the, all I really want to do is think about him. I miss him so much. The only thing that gets me out of bed every morning is knowing that he loves me and is waiting loyally for me back home. I love him more than anything in the world…
Mrs. Takenouchi stood there amazed. The last time she had seen Sora so depressed and torn up was 10 years ago when Mr. Takenouchi had walked out on them, without even saying good-bye. That had hurt Sora so much, but because of it, she'd become a stronger person. This was the first time Mrs. Takenouchi had really seen her daughter completely lose herself
Then Mrs. Takenouchi noticed a piece of paper folded in thirds,
Tucked under a corned of the notebook. She picked it up and unfolded it. It was a letter, written in sloppy, slanted writing. She could barely read it but she finally deciphered this:
Dear Sora,
I miss you so much; I can't stop thinking about you. Everything reminds me of you. From a tennis match on TV to a sunset that reminds me how beautiful you are. You're the best part of my life and I never want to lose you. I hope you know how much I love you and that I'll keep loving you for the rest of my life, which I hope to spend with you. I love you.
Yours forever,
Tai Kamiya
Ps. Kari says hi.
Mrs. Takenouchi was again amazed. She knew Tai. She knew him as Sora's best friend, the boy she grew up with and hung out with. She knew him as the guy who loyally came to every one of Sora's soccer games and tennis matches to cheer her on. Mrs. Takenouchi never knew he had such strong feelings foe her daughter. She'd never seen this sensitive, sweet, romantic side of Tai before. She guessed it was a side of him only Sora knew.
"So that's it," Mrs. Takenouchi thought as she put the letter back. "That's why Sora's been so depressed. She's in love with Tai. And judging from his letter, he must love her just as much. And I spilt them up. I have to do something. I can't let Sora end up like me, with her heart broken for the rest of her life. I created this problem so I have to fix it."
Mrs. Takenouchi walked back out to the kitchen and picked up the phone. " I have a lot of calling to do and it won't be easy. But I have to do it, for Sora…"
