------------------------- Sora's POV -----------------------------
I urged my horse into a canter and headed for the jump in the centre of my field. I happily jumped but realised something was wrong! As Piper landed he soon stumbled. He fell to his knees and I rolled off. As I hit the soft, green grass I burst out laughing and rolled around.
"Sora!" Matt cried, "Sora, I knew you shouldn't have ridden today, your not well enough!" I looked up and blinked. Still laughing I turned to Matt.
"Matt... I can still... ride!" I laughed and I stood up. I tried to walk but I stumbled from my giddiness and fell into Matt's arms. I felt his tension relax and I quietened down, "The miscarriage has passed." I whispered. I looked up and watched as he blinked away some tears and turn away. "Matt, I sorry." I snuggled into my boyfriend, hoping that he wouldn't be too upset.
Matt turned to me and rubbed his eyes, "I am sorry too." He explained and let go of me. I wobbled slightly from loosing my support but I found Piper standing by me and so landed on him. I watched as my beloved's figure enters the house and left me standing with my horse for company. I slid to the floor and started to cry.
---------------------------- Matt's POV ------------------------------
I wondered through the house in a blur. My eyes were dry but inside my heart were racing. I sighed and went to the study. I rummaged through the papers and then found what I was looking for; I jumped onto the sofa and just looked at it.
"Why did it have to happen to her?" I whispered and then I got up and punched the wall, "WHY HER?" I screamed, fed up with my life. I threw the photo behind the sofa and charged down stairs. I was restless and had to keep moving to lose my stress. As I stepped onto the stairs the post man came. I ran to the pile of letters and looked through them.
"Sora, bills, Sora, me, me, me, bills, me, Sora, that looks important!" I ran outside and found Sora lying on the grass, her shoulders shaking. I ran up to her and toke her in my arms. "Sora, I'm so sorry! I guess this baby thing stress' me out but I didn't want to pass it onto you!" I turned away, "I've ruined haven't I?" Sora stared at me through her tear filled eyes.
"No!" She slid into my lap, "How could I blame it on you?" She flung her arms around my neck and rested her head on my shoulder. "I could never blame such a thing on you." She whispered into my neck.
"Then, maybe you'd like to read this." I held out the envelop.
"Matt, it isn't Valentines Day yet, silly!" Sora laughed as she toke the letter from me and tore it open. "But that doesn't matter!" Suddenly her face changed and I realized something was wrong.
"Sora?" Sora hid the letter and smiled at me. I tried to smile back but I could tell hers was fake.
------------------------- Sora's POV -----------------------------
I toke the letter from Matt with tear stained eyes. I guess if I hadn't been crying I would have noticed the hand-writing. I smiled and wiped my eyes clear. I wished I hadn't when I realised. I grabbed the letter from one hand to the other and then hid it behind my back. I watched as Matt looked questioningly at me.
"Sora, are you gonna open that?" he asked me.
"Nah, it isn't important really. They always do that. Ya know, make them look important to make you read them." I explained, making up the story as I went along.
"Who?" Matt quizzed.
"Erm, uhr, fasion artists and jobs!" I came up with, it was pretty wild as I already had a job. Matt's face suddenly frowned because the important letter was nothing then a boring job artical!
