Chapter Seven
Tai sighed as he opened his bedroom door and slouched into the living room. It was eleven thirty, good everyone else should be out by now. He didn't like to bump into his family very often anymore.
" Tai," His mother's voice startled him, but he didn't show any reaction. He sat down on the living room couch and turned on the television, pretending he didn't hear her.
" Tai come and sit here with me," She commanded softly from the kitchen table. He started to flick through the channels acting as though she wasn't there, " Please Tai,"
He sighed and turned off the television. He slowly walked across the apartment and pulled out a chair opposite her.
Oh great another lecture, just what he wanted first thing in the morning. He was 20 now he didn't need to be told what he could and couldn't do. He picked up a napkin and started folding it into a paper aeroplane, to distract him self from what she was going to say.
" Tai honey I'm worried about you. We all are,"
He carried on shaping the paper. Folding his aeroplane's wings. Not looking up at her as she spoke.
" You've changed so much lately Tai. Whatever happened to my bright happy little boy. I miss that little boy Tai. I know that you're an adult now, but just because your grown up dosn't mean you have to act so horrible to everyone,"
She waited for him to react but he seemed more interested in making paper models than listening to her.
" Tai I know you've been hurt. I know that it was hard for you to admit that you didn't want to be with cherry. But I also know you were like this before you broke up with Cherry,"
Still no reaction.
" I know that you loved Sora very much. I loved her too, I used to think of her as my own daughter, and I still do. I bet that I worry about her just as much as her own mother does. She was your best friend Tai and your first love. Those are two bonds that you will never forget. And I know that it must hurt like hell to lose both of them at once. But life carries on Tai. You can't sit around mourning for your loses. You have to get back out there and get on with your life. Sora was very special to you, but you'll find someone else. You just need to give the world another chance,"
Give the world another chance. He hated the world, he didn't want anything else to do with it.
" I'm moving out," He announced harshly,
" What?"
" I'm going to rent an apartment with matt. I've been thinking about it and I've decided that's what I want to do,"
" But this is your home,"
" I'm 20 mum. I should have moved out years ago. I need my space I need to be left alone,"
" I don't want to leave you alone Tai,"
" Well I do," He stood up and walked out of the apartment door, slamming it harshly behind him.
What did she know. His mother acted like she knew everything about him. She didn't know anything, she didn't know how he felt. She had no idea of what Sora meant to him.
********** Four months later *********
" We're the kids in America!" T.K yelled as he sung along to his personal stereo. He started shaking his head along to the beat and swinging his arms around in circles infront of himself. The other passengers along the plane shook their heads at the American boy's rowdy behaviour.
Sora propped her head on her elbows as she stared past T.k out of the window in a daze.
T.k nudged her with his elbow as he started to dance even more violently. He grinned at her and started throwing his head backwards and forwards like a head banger. His blonde hair flew around his face like a golden bush. Sora smiled weakly at him and started to play with a strand of her long auburn hair.
" You okay?" T.k asked concerned as he realised she wasn't joining in with him, like she normally did when he was being stupid.
" Fine," She muttered,
" Are you sure. You look really depressed. Not like Sora at all,"
" I'm fine," She repeated again.
" Hey Sora I can't wait until we get to Japan," Yolei told her excitedly as she turned around from the seat infront of Sora's, " It's going to be so cool to see where our little Sora grew up. And we'll really be able to get a feel for the place, being shown around by a true Japanese girl. And not one of Joe's crappy little books,"
" Hey!" Joe exclaimed beside Yolei,
" I bet you can't wait to get home either. See all of your friends and your Mum as well. You have to introduce us to everyone. Oh this will be so cool!" Yolei squealed happily.
Yeah really cool.
" Excuse me," Sora whispered to Cody beside her.
He looks at her strangely and rose from his seat so that she could run down the aeroplane aisle towards the bathroom.
" Sora?" Yolei called after her,
" What's wrong with her?" Joe asked staring down the aeroplane's aisle
" I have no idea," T.K whispered with a bemused expression on his face.
Sora leant against the flimsy aeroplane's bathroom wall and slid down to the damp floor. She closed her eyes to try and stop the tears running down her cheeks.
She couldn't go home. She couldn't go.
" Sora!" Mimi called knocking on the bathroom door,
" Sora what's wrong?" Yolei asked on the other side of the door,
" Go away," Sora managed to choke raspy,
" Sora what's happened? We want to help you," Mimi said kindly,
" Sora if it's something I said I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to upset you," Yolei called,
" Sora please open the door!"
Sora opened her eyes and stared up at the door's lock. She didn't want to see anyone right now. She wanted to stop this plane and make it strand her on a desert island. That would solve all of her problems.
She sat up and slid the lock to open the door. She knew Mimi and Yolei could be incredibly persistent when they wanted, she wasn't in the mood for trying to battle against them today.
" Sora are you alright?" Mimi exclaimed as she barged into the box room and nearly tripped over her friend.
" Sora what's going on?" Yolei asked gently as she sat on the floor beside Sora. Mimi perched herself on the edge of the toilet seat as her amber eyes watched Sora cry with concern.
" I can't go," Sora whispered, " I can't go home,"
" Of course you can Sora. We're already on the plane to Obida. We're half way there already," Yolei smiled at her,
" No I can't go home. I don't want to go home. I've never wanted to go home. When I left I never meant to go back,"
" I don't understand Sora, what are you saying?" Mimi asked gently,
" I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME! I don't care where else I go, just as long as I never go back to Obida,"
" Why?" Yolei glanced at Mimi exchanging baffled expressions.
" Because I lied to all of you,"
" What?"
" I lied to all of you guys," Sora leant her head against her knees as crystal tears began to roll down her tanned cheeks.
" When did you lie to us?" Mimi raised an eyebrow at Yolei, Sora wasn't making any sense.
" When we were in Africa and you asked me if I'd ever been in love, I lied to you,"
" Oh . . .So you have been in love," Yolei still couldn't understand what Sora was talking about.
" That's why I can't go home. I can never show my face in that city again,"
" Sora you're not making any sense. Please slow down and tell us the whole story. You're just jumping from one thing to the other,"
Sora raised her head and screwed her eyes up tightly. She took a deep calming breath, to steady herself.
" When I was a kid I was a tomboy. Not just a little bit tomboy, people used to mistake me for a boy. I didn't fit in with any girls so I used to hang around with a group of boys. There were four of us, Me, Izzy, matt, Davis and Tai. Tai was my best friend out of all of them. We were practically joined at the hip, we did everything together. Then when I was 16 I fell in love with him. We went out for three years, those were the most special and magical years of my life. He was my best friend not just my boy friend. I've never felt so relaxed as I did around Tai, I could tell him anything. I've never loved anyone like I love him. But then . . .then . . . Then he asked me to marry him!" She suddenly blurted out in a rush of air. She leant her head back against her knees, " And I said no,"
" Oh Sora," Mimi whispered, she reached forward and rubbed her friends arm for comfort.
" I broke his heart. I practically ripped it out of his chest and threw it at him. He hates me. He hates me more than he hates anyone in the world,"
" I'm sure he dosn't Sora," Yolei whispered comfortingly,
" He does! Because I told him that I hated him and I never wanted to see him again. I was so angry with him when he proposed. I thought he was trying to steal my life away from me. I couldn't stay around him any longer. I had to leave. So that's what I did, I left,"
" And came on this trip with us," Mimi finished the sentence for her,
" Well now's a perfect time to make things up with him. Tell him your sorry,"
" I can't! I can never look him in the face again because . . .because he's getting married,"
" Married!" Yolei cried,
" To some girl that I've never even met," It was to much for her to take, Sora suddenly dissolved into heart broken tears, she leant on Yolei's shoulder as she started to sob.
" Oh Sora," Mimi whispered again,
" I love him so much, I really do. I've- I've flown around the world to get away from him. But I can't, because I still love Him!"
" Shhhhh," Yolei whispered,
" But he dosn't love me! He said he did but he dosn't because he's getting MARRIED!"
" Sora it's alright," Mimi told her gently,
" No it's not alright. I can never go home. Because I can never go near him again. Perhaps it's better this way. At least he can have what he wants, a little wife and a family. I could never give him what he wants,"
" Oh Sora,"
" But I love him so much! I feel like a little piece is ripped out of me every day that I'm apart from him. I just want to be with him again. I want to be with the old Tai. I want to have play fights, I want to dance around his bedroom to rock music, I want to have ice cream eating competitions. I don't want to be a grownup, I want to be a kid with him again. I don't want to get married,"
Authors note- I'm really sorry this chapter took so long to get out, I've been REALLY busy lately. Anyway I hope you guys still like it, R+R!
