Sora's POV
Days went by and I didn't talk to Matt once. He never spoke to me, but the look in his eyes told me ignoring him wasn't the answer. Did I listen to my heart? No, I wouldn't. I was stubborn…I wasn't paying attention to reality. I guess I thought this was a movie and everything would play it's way into being perfect again.
But it didn't. Within a month, I was dating Tai Kamiya. A handsome young man who attended school with me. Matt was still dating Cassidy. We never talked. Cassidy never even glanced at me.
Then, came graduation. I walked up to my locker and there was a rose taped to the front. I looked around. No one was in the halls. I was the only one getting the last few items from my locker.
I took the rose from the door and opened it. Inside lay eleven more roses. Then, there was a card. Slowly, I picked it up and began to read it.
This Time
All I Want Is You
There is no one else
Who can take your place
This Time
You burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leading me near to you
Take Me Away…
Slowly, cautiously, I opened the card. The design was hearts and roses in the background with the pictures he and I had taken on our first real date. The second time we met. Then, I continued to read what he himself wrote.
Take Me Away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away
Don't give up on me yet
Don't forget who I am
I know I'm not through yet
But don't let
Me stay here alone…
~Matt
I felt tears come to my eyes as I walked towards the door of the school. A truck was driving off. Many boys that had just graduated with me in the back. Matt was there. He caught my eye and we looked at each other for a mere moment.
Tai came up behind me and grabbed my waist. He looked at the card in my hand. I quickly threw it down. He kissed my cheek.
"I love you, Sora," He whispered. I nodded.
"I love you too, Tai," I replied. The truth is…I lied. I did feel for Tai, but right then, right there, that place and time….I realized…
I was in love with Matt Ishida.
