Run away
Chapter nine
Matt sighed as he pushed his key into the lock in his apartment door. Even before he had even glimpsed his home he knew what sort of state it would be in.
He threw open the gloss white door to a what might as well be some sort of dark depressing prison. The long dark blue curtains of the living room windows were drawn tightly shut, forbidding any light to escape through their grasp. The only glimmer of life and light came from the dull flash of the television screen, as it's mechanical laughter filled the room with what seemed a foreign forbidden sound.
" Tai what are you planning to do tonight?" Matt asked cheerfully, trying shrug off the morgue like feeling of the room.
A slight movement came from Tai as he shrugged his shoulders, not taking his eyes off of the T.V.
He sat on the couch with knees bent up around his ears. If it wasn't for the slow, deep breathing arising from his chest it would be hard to tell him apart from the couch it self. The light from the T.V cast queer shadows across his tanned face, making him look even more dark and solemn.
" Good because I've got you a date," Matt told him as he drew back the curtains letting bright sunlight penetrate the depressing aura of the room.
" And you really think I'm going to go on one of your blind dates, with some girl you've never even met," Tai muttered,
" Oh come on Tai," Matt pleaded, " I met this girl called Mimi and she is so . . .. Well she's not just hot she's brilliant! I've never met any one like her before. She's only going to be in town for a couple of days so this is my only chance to take her out. But she said she would only go out with me if I got a date for her friend. So . . . . ."
" So I was right and you haven't even met her,"
" Oh come Tai! You never know she might be the girl of your dreams! What's it going to hurt if you actually get out for once? It's not going to kill you to have some fun! And besides . . . I really like this girl,"
Tai took his eyes of the T.V screen to look at the pleading eyes of his blonde haired friend. He highly doubted he was going to meet the girl of his dreams tonight.
" I don't know matt . . ."
" Oh come on Tai! Please just do me this little favour, PLEASE!"
Tai sighed and rolled his chocolate brown eyes.
" Okay if you're really that desperate,"
" Thanks Tai I knew I could count on you!" Matt cried grabbing him around the chin and giving him a nogie, " Now go get a shower and try to clean your self up,"

Sora inhaled a deep soothing breath as she turned the volume on her personal cassette player. Rock music blared into her ears from her headphones, she sighed with joy at how peaceful and relax she felt at that moment.
Cody said that she must be a freak, the only person alive who finds it easier to meditate with rock music. But she found that loud energetic music blocked out the hectic life around her and helped her get to that peaceful higher place.
She closed her amber eyes and let herself drift away from the bustling stressful world. Forgetting the noises of traffic drifting through her open bedroom window. Forgetting the hectic cried as Mimi tried to find her other pink shoe and apply make up for her date with matt. Forgetting how much her heart had ached today.
" Oh I guess that'll just have to wear the blue pair," Mimi sighed as she slipped her feet into a pair of high heeled blue shoes, " Hey Sora where do you think Yolei got to? She's been gone all afternoon. Sora? Sora?" Mimi asked wondering why her friend wasn't replying. She glanced behind her and saw Sora sitting on her bed crossed legged, her hair blowing in a gentle breeze from the window, a serene smile on her peaceful face.
" Gone again," Mimi giggled,
A loud tap at the bedroom door suddenly made her jump with excitement.
He was here! Her heart suddenly leaped into overdrive as butterflies danced in her stomach. She quickly gave her self-the once over in the mirror and then ran to the hotel room door. She carefully pulled it open and grinned at the smiling blue eyes of matt on the other side.
" Hi Mimi," He greeted her happily,
" Hey!"
She glanced over Matt's shoulder at the spiky brown haired boy lurking in the hallway behind him.
" This is Tai," Matt introduced the boy warily,
Mimi's eyes suddenly opened in alarm,
" Tai!" She cried,
The boy frowned at her strangely then suddenly his head snapped up and his eyes winded in an expression of shire horror and surprise, as a voice floated out from the hotel room.
" If you can't find the pink ones you should just where your blue heels,"
As though he was in a trance Tai slid past Mimi in the doorway and slowly steeped into the hotel room. His heart pounded inside his chest as he laid eyes upon his hearts deepest longing desire and fear.
Not a single inch of her had changed. Her auburn hair was longer now, down to her waist, but he immediately decided he liked it better like that. Her skin looked so soft that he wanted to reach right out and stroke it once more. A breeze blew her long hair to the side as she sat with her long slender legs crossed on her neatly made bed. Golden light of the sun set flooded through the window, making her seem to glow like an angel. Even though her outward appearance had slightly changed, she was still his Sora. His wonderful goddess Sora, who he would do anything for. Anything.
She stretched her smooth arms out infront of her and smiled happily with containment. Slowly she opened her amber eyes and for a second in her light headaness grinned at the longed for sight slight infront infront of her.
Suddenly as though she had been dramatically pulled back down to earth again, what lay before her sunk in hard. In alarm her golden eyes snapped open, her moth widen into a panicked scream and with a loud thump she fell off the edge of her bed.
Quickly she untangled the headphones from around her neck and slowly looked over the bed at the boy standing in her room. His spiky brown hair seemed to be even more untameable than it used to be, asthough he hadn't had it cut in months. His sweet mouth hung open as his beautiful chocolate eyes gazed at her.
Just looking at those deep pools filled her with an almost uncontrollable desire to fling her self at him and run her hands through his thick dark hair once again.
Very slowly he began to shake his head. A wave of anger washed over his eyes and he closed his mouth in a tight frown.
As if from a long way away Sora vaguely heard the hotel room door shut and matt and Mimi disappear into the hallway. Leaving her all alone with her darkness fear. The one person that had made her afraid to go back to the home and friends that she missed so much.
" What the hell are you doing here," Tai's sweet voice spat at her bitterly, every syllable oozed with hate and loath.
The tone of his voice struck her heart like an arrow and made it shatter even more. She turned her head to look at the sky bathed in a pink sunset. She had to pull herself together. He wasn't Tai anymore, he wasn't her Tai. He had hurt her more than anything in the world could, she couldn't forgive him for what he had done. And now she knew that he hated her.
" This is my hotel room Tai, shouldn't I be asking you that," She buried any feelings that had arisen for him and tried to concentrate on all of the sadness he had put her through.
" So you lied again huh?" The savage anger began to rise in his voice, " I thought that you were never coming home Sora? That's what you said isn't it? I thought you never wanted to see me again and that you never would?"
" I never lied Tai! So don't flatter yourself by thinking that I came back to see you, that's been the last thing on my mind!" She lied through her teeth,
" Yeah well I don't even want to be anywhere near you SORA! I hate you! I hate you more than any vile little bug in the whole world! I'd rather shoot myself than look at you! You broke my heart! NO YOU DID WORSE THAN THAT! YOU RIPPED IT OUT OF MY CHEST AND RIPPED IT INTO LITTLE PIECES! YOU'VE RUINED MY WHOLE LIFE!"
" You think that I've ruined your life! Look who's talking! YOU MADE ME LEAVE ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY! YOU MADE ME LEAVE MY WHOLE LIFE BEHIND!"
" YOU WERE THE ONE THAT RAN AWAY!"
" I HAD TO, TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WANTED TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE AS YOUR LITTLE HOUSEMAID! DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WANTED YOU TO CONTROL ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! "
" I NEVER WANTED TO CONTROL YOU SORA! I LOVED YOU AND I WANTED TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU1 BUT NOW I SEE WHAT A BITCH YOU REALLY ARE! I DON'T KNOW WHY I EVER EVEN THOUGH THAT I COULD LOVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU1 YOUR A WHORE, A DIRTLY LIEING HEART BREAKING LITTLE SLUT! AND I'M GLAD YOU RAN AWAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAND TO BE AROUND YOU A SECOND LONGER!"
Tai glared at her, his whole body shook with rage as he screamed at her.
Sora grabbed the closet thing to her and instinctively threw it him.
Tai ducked out of the way as a pink high-heeled shoe flew at his head and hit the wall behind him. He bent down to pick it up and threw it violently back at her.
The shoe skimmed past Sora's right ear and landed on her bed.
She couldn't hold in her rage anymore. How dare he say those things about her, how dare he!
Before she knew what she was doing she had thrown herself across the room and knocked him to the floor. They rolled around on the carpeted floor violently kicking and punching and area of skin that they could get to. Like they had as children.
Tai pinned Sora to the floor with his hands around her wrists and his knees either side of her hips.
After a while Sora relaxed and stopped trying to fight her way out of his grip. She panted as she tried to catch her breath back. Slowly she opened her eyes and stared straight into those gorgeous intoxicating chocolate ones again.
Tai felt all of his hate and despair disappears as he stared at her beautiful face, as familiar as his own. He felt himself almost slipping into a trance as he lost himself in her golden amber eyes. Oh how he loved those eyes, he could stare into them for eternity.
Very slowly he felt himself leaning forward and their lips softly touching, in a sweet longed for kiss.
