Chapter 2- Emotions
The loud music of the night club drummed through her ears continually, her eyes continually stung as the bright lights repeatedly shone into her eyes. Normally the music would act as drug and let her mind run on auto, but recently nothing could stop the feelings that still lingered in the back of her mind.
Forcefully she cut through the crowds of people, trying to find the nearest exit or a familiar face. She looked around for Matt, again he had disappeared with another pretty face claiming that if she wouldn't dance with him he may as well have some fun. She knew that he would probably come back to the apartment stoned or maybe not even at all and though she hate to admit it to herself, that was Matt acting normal. He wasn't putting on an act he was being the normal rebellious Matt and sometimes it was times like these she wished she'd gone to the concert with someone else, the same person she secretly longed for.
Eventually she found her way to the exit, by now her head was swimming and the stuffy atmosphere of the club threatened to suffocate her. It was a relief when she was met by the fresh air, cooling her burning cheeks, she looked at her surroundings and found she was in a little alleyway behind the club. Eager to refreash herself with the Friday night air she took a few stumbled steps to the opposite wall and rested against it.
The shadows danced before her and the silence of the outside fascinated her until a tall dark shadow came into view.
"Whats a pretty thing like you doing out here?" The guy said in a suave tone.
"Trying to catch my breath."
She had to admit to herself, the guy wasn't that bad looking, to most girls he would seem a could catch.
"Let me try." The guy stepped closer and pinned her to the wall locking lips with her before she had time to object. The repulsive stench of alcochol hung around him, it was obvious he'd been drinking, she tried to push him off but it wasn't until he stuck his tounge down her throat did she muster up the courage to do so.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING."
"Come on babe you know you want to."
He lurched forward and grabbed her again, this time more forcefully, he pinned her against the wall with his hands and when she tried to squirm he pressed his whole body weight onto her, undoing his jeans.
It suddenly dawned her Sora how powerless she was against the guy, closing her eyes she let the tears flow freely down her cheek before recieving a cold hard slap. Preparing for the worst she tried to call out, each attempt was silenced by another lash from the guy, by now time was running out and she could feel the guy trying to undo her jeans it was then she managed to call out.
"TAI?"
Now one would wonder why she would call Tai when the obvious person to call would have been Matt. But something inside of her told her if she called he would eventually come, he always had.
She squirmed for all she was worth attempting and failing to kick the guy, his hot breath met her neck and she tried not to let her tears flow. Every second he was becoming more forceful, every minute he became more agressive as his hunger for lust aggrivated and wore her down. Of course she was trying to make the whole ordeal stop, but at every sudden movement he would either lash out again or press onto her closer.
Suddenly she heard the pop of her last jean buttons coming undone and it was then she was able to kick the guy. Catching him off guard. Holding her jeans up she ran. She could hear the guy shouting her and the loud thud of his footsteps getting closer.
Direction didn't matter, she ran the fastest she could, her feet knew where she was going but her brain had blanked out. She could hear the guys footsteps getting closer and closer till she could feel his repulsive hands gripping her arm tight.
Then there was another pair of hands gripping her shoulders as a voice shouted abuse and the repulsive hands let go. Sora felt herself being pulled into a warm hug. She reconised the scent of cologne, the soft comforting feel of the shirt and gripped it tightly.
"Tai." She whispered her voice hoarse.
"Shush, its okay now Sora."
"And whose she?" A third voice chimed, Sora opened her eyelids enough to see a frustrated girl staring at her, her witchy green eyes glaring at her as her deep brown hair raged in the steadily growing wind.
"She's my best friend."
"Well, very nice to meet you but me and Taichi are going clubbing so could you please get off him."
"Oh sorry Tai." Sora whispered loosening her grip.
"No it doesn't matter Sora lets get you home."
"Excuse me but I'm still here were supposed to be going clubbing." The girl said tapping her cheap high heels impatiently.
"Well we'll have to reschedule it then won't we, can't you see my friends in a state."
"Well she can sort herself out."
"No she can't, can't you see she could have been raped."
"You know what I'll just go by myself then."
"Good go get banged up by another poor sod."
"Fine stay with your petty friend atleast i'll have a good time tonight."
With that the girl flounced off towards the direction of the club, her heels click clacking in an angry protest. Draping an arm around Sora's waist and letting her rest on his shoulder they both started walking towards Sora's and Matt's apartment.
"Oh no." Sora mumbled tearfully, the whole ordeal still flashing through her mind like a never ending nightmare.
"Whats the matter Sora?"
"Matt's got the keys."
"Your point being."
"Well I can't get in then can I."
"No matter you can crash at mine until Matt gets back, besides I want to make sure your okay."
"Thanks Tai." She stuttered as they changed direction towards Tai's apartment.
After about 15 minutes, Sora found herself sitting on Tai's Sofa with a blanket wrapped round her for warmth and comfort. Moments later Tai came waltzing in with a two mugs of hot chocolate, sitting down beside her they remained silent for a moment.
"So, what happened then." Tai asked clearly uncomfortable.
"Well one moment I was at the club and the next I was being held by some pig." Sora replied tearfully, the experiance had really shocked her.
"Do you want me to call the police?"
"I wouldn't bother Tai, nothing happened and I can do without the hassle."
"You sure, you really scared me."
"It scared me too, it was horrible for moments I didn't know what to do, I felt helpless."
"Was Matt there?"
"Well we were at the club together, then I went to get some fresh air-"
"He didn't go with you?" Tai butted in, shocked that Matt would leave her, there has been other incidents around that club, fights, attacks its a risk even going but more or less your safe when your with someone but you'd never want to leave them alone.
"No, anyway some guy approached me then pinned me, it was all so fast when he leapt but before it actually happened time sort of stopped, I'm just so confused Tai, you never want to think about the nasty people out there, I'm sure he's just as confused as I am."
"Its just like you Sor to try and see the good in evils."
That one simple comment was enough to draw a smile to her lips.
"Sor?"
"Yeah, Tai."
"If Matt was with you, why did you call me?"
"You heard me?"
"Well its weird, I sort of sensed it, I know it sounds mad but I somehow knew you were in trouble, I wanted to run and save you but I didn't know where to look. Then, it was if, it was if I was drawn to you like my feet knew where to go but my head knew who to find."
"I know when I broke free, I didn't know where I was running to but mind and feet were drawn to somewhere and deep down I weirdly knew you must have been there."
For a while, the both sat in silence just enjoying being there with each other.
"Tai?"
"Yeah."
"Who was that girl you were with?"
"Oh you mean Naomi?" Tai replied slightly embarrassed.
"Yup."
"She was my girlfriend-"
"She seemed...................... Nice" Sora butted in trying to protect Tai from saying anything he would regret.
"Sora, you can say what, you like, after tonight I don't think I'd ever want to call her again, not that she'd call me."
"I'm sorry Tai."
"Don't be."
"No, I really am, maybe I should talk to her for you, you know straighten things out."
"I don't think that's a good idea, anyway I couldn't see our relationship going anywhere and she's a bit possessive if you remember." Tai replied winking at her.
"I guess, don't worry Tai you'll meet the right girl someday and whenever that day is she'll fall head over high heel's for your Taichi Kamiya charm."
"Hey don't forget my boy next door athletic good looks." He said in a mock hurt tone.
"How could I." Sora said placing her hand to her forehead in with a mock gasp.
They both huddled together on the couch, sharing Sora's blanket, until she lolled off to sleep on Tai's shoulder. Not wanting to disturb her, he sat there for a while stroking her soft red hair, it puzzled him no end that there was someone out there trying to hurt his angel and whats more him was continually fighting the temptation to ring the police or go out looking for the bloke himself. Yawning softly he placed a light kiss on her cold lips adding that extra bit of warmth.
"I don't need to look Sor, the girl for me is sleeping soundly on my shoulder, but she's just out of reach." He whispered into her ear before falling asleep to the sound of her soft breaths his rhythmic heartbeat harmonising with hers.
Unaware to them both that at a certain club green eyes met blue eyes and it would be certain they would leave together and wake up together.
