Is this what love feels like? Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon.
Thanks for all the people who have currently reviewed. I know about the spelling mistakes but the thing is I am a terrible speller and have no spell checker thing. Also for cloaked fox, to be honest with you, I agree. Rika proberly wouldn't have changed at all throughout the serious, and if you think I have no imagination of the ability to create a 'good' story then why bother reading it? This is my fic and I can post what I like, also beforehand if you actualy read the fic she isn't close to everyone. Only one person, who she still feels strange being around as you'll notice in later chapters. I hope you all stick with me until the end of this fic, it's been alot of fun putting it together. It may be the summer holidays, but as im currently ill I have alot of spare time on my hands to bring regular updates. Again, thank you fro reading.
Chapter 4
As Henry approached his apartment he noticed a figure sitting beside his door. Curled up tightly in themselves, obviously wanting to be alone. 'Why my door though?' Henry asked himself. As he approached his door he noticed the figure was indeed a small red-head girl.
"Wika, awre you otay?" Suzy asked as she herself spotted the girl.
Rika looked up and put on her forced smile, the one she did with her mother.
"Im fine Suzy" Henry looked down at her. She hadn't been crying it just looked as if she'd just been thinking for a while. She looked tired and the bruise stood out a little more as Rika looked up at the him.
"C'mon Rika, Suzy. Inside." He said gently as he opened the door and stood aside for the two girls to walk in. Suzy took Lopmon and Terriermon into her room and closed the door knowing Rika and Henry would want to talk.
Rika followed Henry into his living room and sat down opposite him. They just sat there for a few moments in silence. Normally Rika would have been thankful for him to leave her alone, but htis time she wanted him to say something.
"Say something then." She snapped not looking at him. Henry was surprised. Normally she'd be saying 'go away, leave me alone'.
"Rika, I don't know what to say." He stated simply, still calm his eyes looking straight passed her.
"Did you have a dream last night?" Rika asked flicking a strand of her across her face.
"Yes, but I don't remember all of it" Henry lied through his teeth. The last thing he wanted to tell Rika is about the dream he had had the night before. Especially when she was like this.
"Well what do you remember?" She looked at him now. Her eyes were cold, something Henry usually saw in her violet eyes. But as he looked deeper he saw the tiny specks of saddness. Even though they were sat far away he could tell her eyes easily. They had become a lot closer throughout the last six months, but Henry still didn't know everything. He knew alittle of her past. And occaisonaliy she would tell him random little things that no-one else knew, and this made Henry feel a tiny bit special. Still, he wasn't one to tell everyone about his private life, but then again, hardly anyone asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Henry asked her carefully, returning his gaze to the window behind her. Rika was getting angry now her already short fuse was burning by the millisecond.
"Becasue, I had a dream." She looked at him and sighed. "About you." Then Rika continued staring at the floor. Her cold hard stare.
"Well mine had you in it. It was around the time you broke up with Ryo. You told me he did something to you." Henry looked at her again. His eyes filled with concern. He felt alittle uncomfortable being in this situation, but Rika needed to talk; and Henry had to listen to her.
"I know, what I said. Before you ask nothing like that happened." She said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, I didn't think that was true. I know Ryo, and I don't think he would do something like that. He loves you to much." Henry was still looking at the small red-head looking down at the floor.
"But thats just it. He told me he didn't love me, he said he wanted to try the relationship out to see if it was love. But he realised that he only liked me because we had so many similarities. Then I told him about liking another person."
"Well I didn't know that. How come you never told me?"
"I just didn't okay?" Rika snapped at the blue haired boy. She didn't mean to but it was annoying that he could be so patient with her, and so calm. His voice had stayed the same throughout their entire conversation.
"But in this dream, I told this person I liked them. And now it's made me think that, this person might like me." At this point Rika stood up and sat down on the couch beside Henry. As if by instinct Henry put his hand on her shoulder.
"Who?" he asked her gently.
"I can't tell you Henry." She sighed.
"Okay" He said taking his hand away.
"Hetwy, im hungry!" came Suzy's voice as she walked into the room he and Rika were in.
"Hey Suzy, how about you and I go to the shop and get some food. And a few movies?" Rika asked putting on her fake smile. Suzy's face lit up,
"And popcowrn? And candy? Please Wika please?"
"Okay, come on get your shoes on. It's okay right Henry?" She said looking at the boy as she stood up.
"Rika you don't have to." He said.
"I know, but I want to. It's the least I can do. Your are letting me stay here the night." She smiled and walked out of the room.
"At least take some money" He called going out after her and reaching inside his pocket.
"No, it's okay. I have plenty of money. Come on Suzy." Rika took the small girls hand and walked out of the door.
Henry sighed and walked back to the living room.
'ring... ring! ring...ring!
"Hello?"
"Henry, how is everything?" Came his mothers voice.
"Fine mom."
"Good, I have a little bad news. Your brother, sister and I will be staying in china for a lot longer than expected. We should be home in about a week, I have to go now. Tell your father bye." and she hung up. Obviously not knowing that this father wasn't there. The last time he saw him was earlier that day. Before the digimon came back.
Henry walked over to Suzy's bedroomed and opened the door to a puffy Terriermon and a giggling Lopmon.
"Henry, never let your sister play with me again!" He huffed and jumped onto his Tamers head. Henry laughed.
"Okay, but your the one who can tell Suzy that you don't want to play Miss Pretty pants anymore." He walked into his room and Terriermon jumped down onto the bed.
"Where is Suzy anyway?"
"She went to the shop with Rika. She'll be back soon." Henry said. He walked out of his bedroom when he heard a knock on the door.'hmm that was quick'. He walked over to the door.
"Henry where is she?"
