Cry- chapter 6
It'd been a month since that night when Matt had proclaimed his love for Sora only to be cruelly rejected. Of course he hadn't responded very well to the rejection either. It's just that everything he'd wanted was coming true, and then it all disappeared. He had walked out muttering, "See you around, Sora." But he never did see her around. Sora hadn't turned up at school the following day. He soon found out that she had changed schools, and Matt could never gather up enough courage to call her, let alone see her.
Everyday, on his way home from school, Matt walked by Sora's apartment hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Even though she had cast him off, he was still hopelessly in love with Sora. At night, he practiced what to say if he ever ran into her. Tonight, he was practicing apology # 24, also known as the "I don't know what I was thinking" apology.
"Sora, I don't know what I was thinking. Please forgive me."
After muttering that same line over and over again for about an hour, he decided that it was too boring, and that it required some elaboration.
"Sora, that night when I walked out on you, I was worried about TK. He's been sick with. with malaria. I was so worried that I didn't know what I was thinking."
He then paused, "What AM I thinking??? This is stupid. I'm talking about malaria at." he glanced over at his clock, "2 in the morning. It's not like I'm ever gonna see Sora again. Ever."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Good morning, Mom!"
"Oh, hi Sora! Did you sleep well?"
"Best I've slept in a long time."
"Are you finally getting over Tai?"
Sora stared at her mother with disgust, "Mom! I've been over him for the longest time. I couldn't care less about him."
"It's just, there's this look that appears on your face once in a while. it's about a boy."
"Well it's not Tai, ok?" interrupted Sora. She then reached over and grabbed an apple,
"I'll see you after school!"
"I'll be at the store, would you mind coming to help?" but Sora didn't answer because she was already out the door.
Sora hated her new school. It wasn't too far away; only 20 min by bus, but the school itself was in an area where she normally would never go near. Before, she never had difficulty making friends, but now, Sora didn't even care about friends. The only reason she was here was that she would die before she ever saw Matt again. She knew perfectly well that she had hurt him that night, and felt tremendously guilty about it. She was completely content with being lonely. Mostly because she felt she deserved it.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Sora was halfway home. In math class today, a boy with blond hair, who looked similar to Matt (at least from the back) had sat in front of her. Thinking about Matt had gotten Sora in a bad mood and she had screamed at a teacher. The principal was in the process of calling her mom when Sora just walked out of the school. Sora was very well into the process of earning a reputation of a troublemaker at school.
'Me, a troublemaker. this would have never happened if I wasn't so stupid. I should never have let Matt go.' she glimpsed at her watch and let out a small gasp. She had left the school at 11:30 and now it was near 3:30. Sora had no idea it took 4 hours to walk to school. As she neared her house Sora saw someone standing out in the lot at the front of her apartment. Curiosity took the best of her and she walked over to see whom it was.
"Excuse me, but are you looking for something?"
The stranger slowly turned around and for the first time in a month Sora and Matt came face to face with each other. Both of them stared at each other, speechless but then Sora cleared her throat and started to talk.
"Um. Matt, you. here. why?"
But Matt quickly pulled Sora towards him and placed a kiss on her lips, silencing her. He then pulled away and handed Sora a note that he took out of his pocket.
"Read it," he urged.
Sora was having a hard time recovering from the kiss. She had never felt that sort of passion when she had kissed Tai. She was now convinced more than ever that refusing Matt was perhaps the biggest mistake of her life. Sora looked down at the folded piece of paper that she now held. She looked at Matt with a confused look and he gave a reassuring smile.
Sora slowly unfolded the paper, being extra-careful as not to rip it. She was so afraid of what the note could say that her hands were shaking and she made an effort to stop them long enough to read what Matt had written. In fact, it wasn't a note but rather, a few lines scribbled down in Matt's usual messy hand.
In all the time that we have been friends
I never saw this as the way our friendship would end
I couldn't feel much worse than I do right now
People have come and gone in my life but I thought not you somehow
I cherished your friendship, kept it close to my heart
Enjoyed every moment we were together right from the start
I've been a fool in my life in so many ways
But the loss of your friendship will stay with me always
The trust that you gave me I know I destroyed with one blow
But know that your friendship was one I did not wish to let go
And even though it was my stupidity that tore our friendship apart
Please know this comes straight from the heart
The words 'I am sorry' don't even do justice to how I feel
Sora, forgive me.
After reading it once more, Sora looked up at Matt with tears in her eyes. He hugged her again and placed a kiss softly on her head.
"I wrote that last night. You like it?"
"Yeah." sniffled Sora.
Matt then took Sora's face in his hands and leveled his ocean-blue eyes with her crimson ones.
"I'm truly sorry about what happened that night. I have horrible timing and I realized right after that I was out of place to say what I said. I totally understand your reaction that night. That's how I would have been. Well, not totally. I would never spaz out like you did."
"Matt!"
"Sorry. See, I'm saying sorry again. I'll never stop saying it. Sorry, sorry, sorry! I apologize for everything and please say you accept because I could never live without you as my friend."
Sora looked at Matt in surprise and asked angrily, "What do you mean?"
"Huh?" asked a very confused Matt.
Sora smiled seductively and said, "Don't you want to be more than friends?"
It took a while for Matt to fully understand what she meant. Then he started laughing as Sora started batting her eyelashes and made little giggling noises. Matt then wrapped his arms around Sora and lifted her up.
"I wouldn't mind being more than friends. not at all!"
And then their lips met in a kiss that symbolized forgiveness, understanding, and the fact that they were more than friends.
~* Ok, well that's it. I've finished my first fic. I'm so proud. I realize that it was a kinda cheesy ending but give me a break. it's only my first ficcy! ^_^. Well, please REVIEW! My writing career depends on those comments. But don't let that stop you from flaming. I need the constructive criticism, desperately.*~
~**Oh, and thanks to everyone that reviewed (and anyone that will in the future). You have no idea how grateful I am that you took the time to help me out on the road to master-fic-author-greatness! Just kidding. oh, not the thanks part!**~
