People, please review. That's the only way I know if I'm doing okay with my
writing. Oh well, enough with the pleading, and on with the SORATO-
goodness!!!! ^_^. (btw- my apologies for the total Tai-bashing in this
story, but you're all here for the SORATO anyway, right?)
Cry- chapter 4
Sora and Matt were slowly walking home. Matt kept on looking over but Sora had her head down so he couldn't see her face.
"Sora? You all right?" he asked, but she didn't answer.
Matt leaned over and under Sora's head and was surprised when he saw she was crying.
"Oh my god Sora! What's wrong?"
"Did you see Tai's face?" sniffled Sora.
"Ya, but if you got back together with him, he would have only hurt you yet again," Matt stopped walking. "Sora, I can't let you go back to him," he declared.
Sora looked up, surprised, "What does this have to do with you anyways Matt? This is something for me to figure out! Not you! God! I may have just left the only guy who ever loved me because of you!"
Matt just looked at her sympathetically, "Sora, I can guarantee you. There are other people out there for you. There must be like tons of guys just at school who'd kill to go on a date with you."
"Like who? You?" asked Sora.
She meant it as sarcasm but Matt thought about it for a moment. He had never really thought of Sora as anything more than a friend. She was a close friend, nothing more, nothing less. Of course, she had been going out with Tai, which would have interfered with any relationship they could have pursued, but still. He looked at her closely. Sora was actually quite attractive. Her skin was smooth, and her soft, auburn hair fell down just below her shoulders. But her eyes; her eyes were really her best feature. They were such an unusual shade of red. They reminded Matt of rubies. Matt totally lost himself staring into Sora's eyes.
"Matt? Hello? What is there something on my face?" asked Sora as she rubbed her face searching for anything out of place.
Matt broke out of his trance, "No…um, I was just thinking about something. Um…you're right though, I shouldn't interfere with your life. I'll just go now, my house isn't far from here," he said as he pointed down the street.
"No, no, no, no, no! I'm just not in a really good mood. I didn't mean to blow up at you like that. You're probably right; perhaps there are other people out there. You know…for me," Sora looked at Matt optimistically, "Please don't go. My mom won't be back for a long time and I don't want to be alone."
"No, um…I really should be getting home,"
"Oh, well if that's what you want…" she answered, but Matt was already gone.
********************************************
Sora sat on her bed, staring at the phone on her nightstand. She had noticed Matt acting a little strangely before and wanted to see if everything was all right. She knew it was partly her fault, seeing as she did get very angry with him. Especially considering he had only meant to be helpful. She got up and reached for the phone but then thought against it. What if he was angry with her? It'd be awkward to talk with someone who was mad at you. But then again, maybe all she needed to do was apologize again. She sat back down to contemplate whether to call Matt or not.
**Meanwhile…**
A few blocks away, someone else was also hard at work trying to make a decision. He slowly played a tune on his guitar, attempting to drive the thoughts of a certain girl out of his mind. No matter how hard he tried, all he could see in his head was Sora's face. He remembered how hurt she had sounded when he declined her invitation to go home with her, and now he felt terrible about it.
'Maybe I should go over right now…' thought Matt to himself, but quickly shook his head no. 'She's probably mad at me… but then I should say sorry.'
**Back at Sora's…**
Sora had just decided to call Matt when she heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" asked Sora as she opened the door.
She was secretly hoping it was Matt and was extremely surprised when she saw that it was Tai.
"You can't be here," whispered Sora as she tried to shut the door, but Tai pushed his way through.
"Sora… just relax. I'm not going to hurt you," he reached over and held her face in his hand.
She quickly slapped it away, but Tai just as quickly grabbed her by the waist and pulled Sora towards him. He then turned around and pushed her against the wall. He ran his hands through her hair and lowered his lips to hers. When he ended the kiss, he began to whisper into her ear.
"You thought you could get away from me like that? Nobody dumps me and gets away with it that easily. You understand? And where's goody-goody Matt now? He's not here to protect you? How surprising… you two had been getting closer lately! I was so sure he'd be here."
Just then he felt someone punch him hard in the stomach. Tai fell to the ground and Sora looked up to see the face of her defender. He ran one hand through his blonde hair then looked at Tai with deep, anger-filled, blue eyes.
"I'm right here Tai! Don't you dare touch Sora again or I'll… I'll…"
"You'll do what Matt? You going to hurt me?" spat Tai.
"If that's what I have to do, I will," answered Matt through clenched teeth. He raised his fists as if to prove his point.
"Well, take your best shot!" Tai shouted as he lunged at Matt's leg toppling him over. He then began to punch the other boy. Matt unsuccessfully tried to return the favor until one punch found it's way to Tai's nose. All three members present could hear the sickening sound of cartilage breaking. They were all silent for a few seconds until Tai burst out.
"What the hell?" he asked as he saw the blood dripping from his nose. "Did you just break my nose?"
"I… didn't mean to," responded Matt.
Tai shook his head, "You… you can have her! There are better chicks out there… way better!" he then looked straight at Sora, "You hear that? Way better! You're just not worth it!" he then left the apartment, slamming the door as he went.
~Yay! I finally finished this chapter. Really sorry it took so long… but I've been a lil busy being sick and all. Don't forget to review! Thanx.
