When I think about the first time

Rainy day man

When I think about the first time
I thought I found someone who cared for me
but things were not as they appeared to be

She looked into his cold blue eyes for one last time before turning and running away. Tears streaming down her face. Where could she go? She didn't know, but she kept on running away from him. How could he be so cruel? She just couldn't turn back. A thought popped into her mind and she suddenly knew where to go. Yes, it was conveniently nearby. He would understand.

on your shoulder I cried
when my first brush with love
left me shaking inside

She ran into the apartment building. The elevator was out of order so she took the stairs, going up as fast as she could, hoping he would be home. She arrived on the right floor, and slowed down slightly upon reaching the door. She rang the bell, and he came to the door. It could have been anyone in his family, but she got lucky, it was him. He opened the door, seeing her in tears and out of breath. "Sora, what's wrong?" the tears had mostly stopped, but when his concerned gaze met with hers, she burst into tears again. "Sssh, it's okay, come in and sit down." He looked around, and towards his open bedroom door. Grasping her hand, Tai walked into his room.

Ever since I can remember
Just like a brother you've been strong and true
always been the one to see me through

Now, what's wrong?" he said closing the door. She sat down on the bed and wiped her eyes. He sat down beside her. "c'mon Sora, what's wrong?" he said putting his arm round her. Laying her head on his shoulder, she said a simple word that told him everything "Matt…" she was about to say more, but the tears came back. They sat in the same position for a minute before Tai asked "do you want something to drink?" she nodded and he stood up. "Back in a minute" he said walking out of the room.

You're much more than a friend
I would give anything
Just to see you again

When outside the room he closed the door and turned around to see Kari looking worriedly at him "is Sora ok?" Tai thought for a minute. "She will be." Kari nodded and walked to her own bedroom. Tai walked into the kitchen corner of the flat and grabbed two glasses, filling them both with some fruit juice. He walked back into his room, and saw Sora asleep on his bed. He put down her drink and smiled. He would let her sleep. He turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Some time later, Tai walked back into his bedroom, and she was awake, but still lying down, her back to the door and her glass half empty. He sat down on the bed, and she turned around. "what happened with Matt?" "he… he…" she began. A single tear went down her cheek, and Tai looked hard at her cheek. "did he hit you?" she nodded. And winced in pain. He put his arm around her. "why did he hit you Sora?" she didn't answer so he continued "c'mon Sora, there had to be a reason, even if it was the worst thing he could do it wouldn't be for no reason…"

"We were watching a movie." She began. "it was titanic." Tai raised his eyebrows. "it had just ended and we were talking ." "I had my head on his shoulder and everything was fine, but then he stood up and hit me…" "maybe something you said offended him…" "maybe…." "what exactly were you talking about?" "…" "what?" "you might want to take back your last statement." "why"

"I was talking about you…"
