Walk Away
"Sora, Honey!" Her mother called from downstairs. Not hearing any answer, she went upstairs.
"Sora?" She asked, peeping in her room.
"Sora" she repeated, shaking her a little.
"Hm…???" Sora slowly opened her eyes, "What is it, mom?"
"Well, I was wondering were you where. I saw your jacket on one of the chairs downstairs."
"I see…"
"What's wrong?" Noticing the red circles around her eyes, Mrs. Takenouchi became worried.
"N - .. Nothing" Sora sobbed slightly.
'She doesn't want to tell me…' He mother thought, 'I guess I should leave her alone.'
"I'll leave you then. I'll call you when supper's ready."
"OK" She answered, turning around in her bed again. Her thoughts wandering back to what happened yesterday and only a few hours back.
'I should I do now?... Sora, how many times have you asked yourself that question?!' She mentally slapped herself.
'Lets find a solution… Why don't I just walk by… or call him? But… I don't think I can do that. And I should study a little too, and forget about all this mess. I see him tomorrow in school anyway. So I'll see how he acts… Must get out of bed to study first'
She slowly slipped her legs and herself out of the bed. Standing up. She headed for her desk.
"Lets see" She talked to herself.
"I've got Japanese and Math to do till tomorrow. Ow, well, I know it's not much. Lets start"
"OWWW, MEN! Why can't I concentrate!?!" Sora scolded herself.
She had tried to pay attention to her lessons. But every time she wrote something down, there was a typo or it was the wrong answer.
"Must be of that stupid jerk…" She growled, "Fuck him, I have to get through this homework! Damnit!" Sora could shout it out. She was so mad.
But on the other hand, she could cry unstoppable. She tried to hold back and so her sorrow changed into angriness.
Letting free of her angriness, she tried to put her attention back to her homework. This time, it was going lots better.
"Ah! Finally finished" Sora said, while stretching out, "I did the best I can do, though. If it's correct, that's another question" She smiled. That smile, that was long ago she had weared that on her face.
But it soon disappeared.
Sora stood up from her chair. She set her things out for the next day, and headed downstairs again.
"Ow Sora, you're just in time. Taichi's on the phone and he asks for you."
"Taichi?" Sora wandered aloud.
She picked the phone from her mother's hand.
"Hello?" She said.
"Sora, hi. It's me, Taichi" He answered on the other line.
"I knew that already. What's up?"
"Well, I think we have to talk. So, what about going to the park?"
"I'll ask my mom, wait a second"
"OK"
"Mom!" Sora shouted.
"Honey, I'm not deaf, you know!" Her mother called back.
"Sorry," Sora sweat dropped. "anyway, Taichi asks if I can go to the park with him"
"Now?"
"Uh…" She directed to phone back to her mouth. "Now?" She asked Taichi.
"Ahm, yeah, of course" He answered.
"Yes, now, mom" Sora called back to her mother.
"When are you going to eat supper then?"
"I'm not that hungry… so…"
"OK, then…"
"Fine, Taichi" Sora answered as she direct the phone to her mouth again.
"Good, be there in… 10 minutes?"
"'Kay, see ya"
"Bye" With that, they both hung up the phone.
"Why are you going to the park anyway?" Her mother curiosity asked.
"Ahm, to talk to him" The brunette simply answered. "I'm leaving now, OK?"
"Yes, OK. Have fun"
Sora slipped on her shoes and grabbed a sweater.
"Bye!" She shouted her mother goodbye, before closing the door.
She slowly wandered of the streets, thinking of what to say to Taichi.
'I guess he or me should apologize for our behaviour this morning…'
Luckily for her, the park wasn't far away. When she arrived, Taichi wasn't there yet.
'Understandable,' Sora thought, 'the park's further for Taichi than for me, that is'
She leaned against a tree, looking to the grass. Just thinking about the days before. But maybe surprisingly, she didn't thought about Yamato.
Five minutes later, her soccer-friend arrived.
"Sorry that I'm quite later" he apologized, sweat dropping.
"That's OK" Sora replied.
"So, firstly, I want to apologize again for that bet. I really didn't expect that he would do that…."
"That's OK"
"Second, I hope we can still be friends after this…"
"We?" She gave him a puzzled look.
"Yes, me, you and him" Taichi pointed behind him. And out of nowhere, Yamato suddenly appeared.
"Yamato?!" Sora startled. 'I knew Taichi was up to something!' she thought.
"Yes, it's me" He replied coldly and yet full of hope and happiness for seeing her again.
"Why are you here?"
"Taichi just told you. We're hoping that, even after this incident, we could still remain friends…"
Sora felt tears welling up in her eyes. She really didn't expect him to be here. Not so soon after that 'incident', like he calls it.
"Please Sora," Taichi pleaded, "this really was a misunderstanding"
"Guys…, you know I had bad times. So, it wasn't a very good idea to make a bet about me in the first place" She really didn't know what to do.
On one hand, they are friend, and not just 'normal' friends. On the other hand, the thing she just said. So, what now?
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Now I've been licking my wounds.
But the venom seems deeper.
We both can seduce,
But darling, you hold me prisoner
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Sora couldn't hold back her tears who were welling up in her anymore, and started crying.
"You guys…," she sobbed, "I-…I r-really don't k-know wh-what to do"
"Sora…" Yamato couldn't see her suffering like that. Neither could Taichi. Both of them picked one hand of hers, and started squeezing it gently.
Sora did felt some butterflies in her stomach, but the darkness and sorrow soon erased that feeling.
She finally gave in: she was crying so hard, and longing so hard for a good hug, she wrapped her arms around Yamato.
Yamato didn't seemed to mind at all. He returned the hug, rubbing her back slowly.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache.
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fieding for a cure
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Taichi didn't mind at all, seeing the two so bliss. If you could call the bliss, though: Sora still was crying unceasing.
Still, it gave a stimulating feeling, seeing them standing there. Yamato hushing quietly and rubbing her back to calm her down. Really… cute, he could even say.
So, I reckon this really is it. This won't be a 3-chapters fanfic. But more… (Not that I care, whatever)
I don't want to say it's going to be a 4-chapter fic, it depends…
I'm disappointed too that nobody seemed to review my changing. Not that it's a big change either… So actually it's OK…
(Don't mind, I'm really depressed now)
Anyway, I hope you're happy with this new chappie. And ahm, if you, will you be so kind to review too? That would perhaps bring some life in me (Bring Me To Life – Evanescence)
Review please!
Thanks!
