Matter Of Opinion
Over the next few weeks Tai was completely healed.
His legs, arms and memory were all back to normal. Of course, to recuperate his
strength and courage he had to stay at home, besides Kari insisted. Tai laid on
his bed for the first time in weeks. The picture that aroused his memory
arrested his deep brown eyes. He held the picture as if it was water that would
seep through his fingers.
Though he fell unconscious through
a silent coma, he could still sense Sora by his side. He could still feel
moments where she brushed his hair away from his closed eyes. As he trance in
his of all the sleepless nights where only he thought of her could only make it
right Kari walked in. Her hand carried a large tray with food, desserts and
refreshments " you need to eat" she said "OK" Tai obeyed.
*~*~*~*~
After
the large meal, Tai decided he needed a walk Kari made him promise that he
could be back home in one hour. As the brown haired boy nodded in agreement he
walked out the door. He could see Sora's apartment just beside his as he
traveled the short distance. Tai had crossed a few situations if Sora were to
open the door. Matt would be there, possibly together alone. The image of them
together… Tai would rather relive his suicidal moment.
However the result of breaking his
little sister's heart had left Tai to remove the idea. He gathered for words,
what would he say to her and a back-up plan in case Matt would be there. The
first knock seemed to echo in Tai's mind. Lucky for him, Sora was home alone.
"hey, tai, what's up?" the angelic
girl greeted. "I need.. to talk to you…" Sora steeped aside of the doorway,
"sure, Tai come in.." as the door shut behind him he felt his lips get
tongue-tied. Tai quickly cleared his throat, "Ok.. this won't take long.. I
just came here to say, well that-that
"what,
come on, u can tell me.." Sora urged. "well it's hard for me- to say..
especially when you are dating Matt." Sora smiled, "Trust me, nothing u say
will have much of an impact on me.."
"I'm in love with you.." Tai replied,
hesitantly. Sora was in shock, "al-al- although that could." "are u ok?" The
auburn haired girl vigorously shook her head. Tai looked at the clock when Sora
could say the next word. Sighing in
confusion, she asked, "Is that why you committed suicide?" Tai looked up to her
auburn eyes that was filled with mixed emotions, slowly he replied in a low,
quiet voice, "yes.. I didn't mean for you to get caught up in this, but I do
love you, Sora. When I first saw you, I knew that I would love you until my
life ends."
He took a brief moment and continued,
"Every time, I'm around you, I'm always well I feel happy.. but if Matt is who
you really want to be with, I'll try to cope with it, but only if that's what you want." Sora slowly faced
him.. "You want me to choose?" Tai replied, slowly.. "I'm sorry, but I can't
live my life without an answer.. sorry, if that seems selfish but that how I
feel.. " I understand.."
*~*~*~*~*~
Sora spent days, nights trying to make her decision. Endless minutes of thoughts, notions, reasons. Yet, it led her to nothing. Choosing between to people is hard. Even harder, if you love both of them. She was left alone to reflect on her past. She discovered something. Matt.. Tai… always locked in an belligerent battle. Both of them were prone into clashes with one another.
'That
won't solve anything..' her mind wandered. Years have past and both Tai and
Matt have become the best of friends. How was she able to choose on over the
other?
Tai…there were many times the DD would
fight losing battles, but no matter what, Tai was never undaunted. Sora admired
his spiritual strength. He always apologizes for any mistakes he did. Kind,
forgiving, courageous, Sora could name thousands of characteristics Tai
carried. However, what Sora loved the most that he always accepted people for
who they were. He never excluded people, when she was a tomboy; Tai still
accepted her and talked to her when no one would.
Matt…the one who gotten her out of the
dark trance she wallowed in. Sora had no idea how or when she had fallen in
love with him. Maybe, it was her inner desire for popularity. She wasn't as
beautiful as the other girls in her class, nor popular. Now that she was with
Matt, she was a queen. 'Is that what I want?" she asked herself.
Suddenly, a paroxysm of distinctness
had hit her. It was too obvious, he was the one.. Sora smirked at her final
decision. She took the phone from the receiver and punched in the numbers that
would dial to Tai's residence.
"Hi,
Tai.. this is Sora, I just want to tell you that i made my choice." A depressed
reply answered.. as if he already knew the answer. "Ok.. then I be there in a
while."
Sora was anxious for Tai's arrival.
She thought about her decision, thoroughly many times over. 'hopefully, Tai
will be ok with this… he had suffered a lot..' The doorbell chimed and Sora
lunged for the door . "hey Sora ," the boy sighed.. "Hi.. ok..u probably wanna
know…well ok..
It's..
Tough..
chap 5 will come soon..
Maybe
it's already up..
