A/N: Hello all you fan fix junkies! Yes, this is another Tiara- well it is believe me- I'll get there- but you have to be patient… I usually like to post an completed story all at once- but I have not finished typing this story and classes are getting a little messy right now- evil school. Well, no I like college- I hate Spanish class! For the love of all that is sacred never NEVER take Spanish as a second language- it sucks- sorry to those of you who are español speakers- but Kate hablo ingles!
Apreciaría dar gracias los que leen y revisan mis cuentos. ¡Continúe por favor! Y ahora se sienta espalda y goza la última cosa del Kate ha la mente torcida. - I think I said something along the lines of: thanks to those of you who have read and reviewed my stories. And now sit back and enjoy the latest thing that came from Kate's twisted mind :) Oh well- Adios
Sora and Matt had been going out for a while. They looked, on the outside like a perfect couple, totally in love. But Sora knew that that wasn't totally true. Small fights had put their relationship on the rocks. Matt's band had finally got a big touring deal, and matt wanted Sora to join him on the road. Sure it sounded like fun, but Sora could not forget about finishing her senior year at high school and her dreams of college the next fall. Matt wanted her to quit school and be with him "full-time." To Sora the idea of marriage and commitment of body and soul to one person was her ultimate dream. But for some reason when Matt asked her, she didn't know how to respond. She wasn't ready and when she told Matt this, he took it badly. Sora wanted to shrug off his bad mood and label it stress, but she knew that their relationship wouldn't be the same. And sure enough Matt broke it off a few days later. And just like that he was gone… out of Sora's life.
She tried to take comfort from Mimi's voice, but talking over the phone was just not helping calm down the already distressed Sora.
"Hey, I know. Why Don't you go and talk to Taichi. He's always there for you." Mimi suggested. She was truly worried about her friend. Never before had Sora been this gloomy.
"K, I'll try and see if he's home…. Thanks Mimi, you're a good friend." Sora sniffled as she said goodbye to Mimi. 'Taichi.' Sora thought. Tai and Sora had always been friends. Best friends. For a long time Sora had hoped that they would be more than just friends, but then Matt asked her out. She decided that Taicho didn't like her as anything more than a friend and accepted Matt's invitation. She knew Tai was uncomfortable with the fact that Sora was dating Matt, but he seemed happy for them. He always was there for her when she needed him. And hopefully he was home, she dialed his number. That number was the first she had committed to memory as a little child, because they were always together. She now recalled that number with perfect accuracy. She knew the digits so well, her fingers flew over the keys.
"Hello, Kamiya residence." A girl's voices said over the phone.
"Kari?" Sora said trying to collect herself. Her voice was still sad and shaky.
"Sora, is that you?" Kari said excitedly. "It's been a while, how are you?"
"Not so good…" Sora admitted. "I was calling to see if Tai was home." She explained.
"Just a sec, I'll go get him." Kari said as she began to yell his name. "Are you going to be ok?" Kari asked her while she waited for Tai to come. He was doing something in his room.
"I think so, I just need to talk to someone right now…"
"Sora, you know you can always talk to us. We're your friends." Kari said cheerfully. "Oh here he comes." She said as she took the receiver and gave it to Tai.
"Hello, this is Tai." He said.
"Tai…"
"Oh hi Sora. What's up?"
"I was.. Wondering if you wanted to go to the park… I just wanted to talk and stuff.." She said as she let out a small sob.
"Sor, what's wrong?" He said genuinely concerned.
"I just need to talk to you in person. Ok?" She pleaded over the phone.
"Sure, I guess." He said, a little hesitant. "I'll meet you in the park in five minutes, ok?"
"Thanks, bye." She said as she choked on a sob. She threw on her coat and walked slowly to the park they had always played in as children. She sat on a swing and let the wind push her.
The day was windy, but the sky was clear for the most part. A few rain clouds were on the horizon, trying to damper the beautiful day out right now.
Tai came up slowly. He saw Sora sitting on the swing. He could hear her cry. He walked closer to her and just looked at her. She looked the saddest he'd seen her in a long time.
"Sora.." Tai said nervously. She looked up and saw him standing there. She got up and ran to hug him. Tai was stunned. She cried on his shoulder, he just patted her back. "What's wrong?" He said in a quiet voice.
"I… I… me and Matt broke up…" She bawled.
"what?… Why?"
"Because… I finally realized that I love you, and not him. Tai I love you." She said as she hugged him tighter. But then she stopped. He wasn't hugging her back… she released him from her embrace, and looked at his face. It was one of pure shock and then his expression turned sad.
"No Sora…" He said in a whisper. "I… I… I'm going out with Margaret… I can't love you.. I'm sorry." Tai said as he looked at Sora. Her tears returned to her. She didn't speak, she only dropped to her knees.
"Can… can we still just be friends then?" Sora asked with a whimper of pain.
"No… She doesn't want me to see you anymore.. Sora, listen.." He knelt down by her and put his arm on her shoulder.
"NO! You listen." Sora said as she pushed him away. "You don't have to say it… I'll get out of your life now." She got up, turned and ran. Tai just laid there where he fell. He knew going after her would only make the situation worse. Tai's heart dropped, but he loved Margaret… right? But he did have feeling for Sora, but when she went out with Matt it had hurt him deeply…
Sora kept running and running. The tears madly streamed down her face. She was alone now. Matt hated her, and now Tai did too. The two most important people in her life wanted nothing to do with her. That stung deeper than any wound could ever. Sora had no clue where she was now. She had just started running, she had to get away from Tai… and the pain. Finally she came to an abrupt halt. She looked at her surroundings. She was near the beach now. But on the ledge above the water. She just watched as the waves crashed against the cliff wall near the bottom. They seemed to be beckoning her to come and be at peace. She now realized what her mind was contemplating. She didn't want to die now and like this, but the release from the pain almost made suicide look like a merciful act. She forced herself to take a step back, and fell to her knees at the ledge and cried. Suicide was not the release she wanted, but what else could help heal this void she felt inside.
She continued to look down at the waves as she rocked back and forth on her knees. She sobbed as it began to rain. She was alone, wet and confused. If she were to throw herself to the waves, she would end the pain.. But hurt her mom and good friends like Mimi and Joe… but the pain was so intense. Matt wanted her out of his life, as did Tai… she could have lived without Matt, but not Tai… he was her best friend. He had meant the world to her.. And now he hated her, wanted her to leave him and Margaret alone. 'Margaret…' Sora thought. 'she was popular, and beautiful… everything I'm not… at least he'll be happy.' She cried harder now, as she stood up. She had decided it then. This was the end for her. The rain was now down pouring, as she looked up to the sky for what would be the last time. It was ironic how it was now dark and stormy, like her heart and soul were now… she dropped her arms to her side and took a deep breath.
"Sora?" A familiar voice called. "Sora is that you?" It said as the voice of they young man came closer. The boy stood in shock as Sora turned her face to see who it was. "Sora what are you doing?…"
