She was still as beautiful, still as caring, still as sweet. But other things were different. Just looking through her photo album, made her heart ache. She missed him a lot. She wondered why he never called. The days were long and the nights were painful. It had been forever...forever since she had seen him. She couldn't take it anymore, she had to talk to him, she had to hear his voice, she had to hold him...But something stopped her, the words that echoed eternally. "We'll always be together". Those words became her life, that life then became a dream...that dream became a nightmare...that nightmare became her reality.

She clenched her hands around the album. Tears ran down her cheeks. She sat there all night, just thinking, thinking about what they had, and what was now gone. Eventually she fell asleep. Her dreams were the only place where she was happy. If that was the only place he would love her, then she wanted to stay there forever. But that wasn't so, she would always wake up. She would always wake back to reality, back to her nightmare. It would never end. She would always be miserable with out him.

She finally gathered the enough strength to call him. She pulled out the phone book from the shelf and looked through it to find his phone number. She slowly dialed his number as everything passed through her mind. A familiar voice answered the phone, it was him...she knew it was him.

"Hello?"

She didn't want to say anything back. She wanted to sit there and listen to his voice. She wanted to think about their first kiss. How magical that first kiss was. Her fantasy was torn apart when she heard another voice...

"Who is it?" that voice said

In the background, there was the sound of a baby crying, and a mother trying to tell him to be quiet. Her heart shattered into smaller pieces. She gave her heart to him, He took her heart, and threw it away...

"Matt, I love you..."

"Sora?"

She hung up the phone and ran into her room, shutting the door behind her. "We'll always be together" she repeatedly cried to herself. What was left of the night passed by and soon it was morning. She got out of bed. She walked up to the roof of her apartment. "If my dreams is the only place I am happy, then I'm gonna stay there." She looked down toward the ground. Everything ran through her mind, the first day they met, their adventures together in the digital world, the days in college...the best days of her life

FLASHBACK

"Have a safe trip!!" Sora yelled to Matt as he was about to get into his car.

Matt turned around and smiled, "I'll see you soon, Sora." He slid into the car and quickly drove off to the airport with his arm out the window waving to Sora.

Sora waved back, almost breaking down into tears. She put on a happy mood just so Matt wouldn't worry about her. But that's just how she was, she didn't want anyone else to be unhappy, she didn't really care about what happened to her...all she wanted was to be with the one she loved. She didn't really like Matt's job, he was always around other girls, and it made her jealous, but she didn't say much about it, because it made Matt happy.

A few hours later, a taxi drove up to Sora's house. And a young man stepped out. It was Matt...She quickly ran out the door and gave him a hug. Matt spun her around and gave her a gentle kiss.

"I thought you were gonna go..."

"I was, but I didn't want to leave you behind...Come with me, Sora..." Matt stared into her eyes, those beautiful eyes of her. They were full of life and energy.

"Matt...I love you...We'll always be together, right?"

"We'll always be together..."

FLASHBACK TO ANOTHER POINT IN TIME

"Matt, why are you home so late again?"

"Don't worry about it, It was just another long rehearsal, I mean we are on tour you know" Matt laid his jacket on the couch next to Sora and gave her a kiss.

Matt went to take a shower. She checked his jacket. There, she found a letter. It was already opened, so she took the liberty of reading it. Tears quickly filled her eyes...
