Chapter 3- I Turn To you
Slowly Sora opened her eyes allowing them to adjust to the morning light. For moments she was in deep bliss as she looked around Tai's apartment, her mind clouded for a couple of seconds before last nights events came charging back to haunt her. For minutes she lay there emotions swirling in the pit of her stomach till she realised Tai was still with her. She giggled softly as his quiet snores filled the morning air, quickly she got up managing not to wake the sleeping Tai (not that that was an easy task, waking Tai that is). She walked over to the kitchen and slowly started making breakfast for them, it was the least she could do, adding the finishing touches to Tai's favourite breakfast- Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, fried bread, toast and marmalade, scrambled eggs and orange juice while she prepared her usual coffee and toast and jam.
Now breakfast was finished she looked to her next task. Waking Tai. She had hoped he would wake while she was cooking, she had even tried turning the radio up loud, but nope Tai stayed asleep the only way she knew he was alive were the faint sounds of snoring coming from the living room. She thudded as loud as she could towards the living room hoping at least he would stir. But nope he stayed asleep. Giggling she crept towards his face, his nose an inch from hers, for a moment she lingered, he looked so peaceful and innocent when he was sleeping it seemed a shame to have to wake him.
"Tai." She said softly, no reply.
"Tai." She continued her voice getting gradually louder.
She gave up on waking him verbally and started poking his cheek playfully. Eventually he stirred.
"Mmmmm." He mumbled in the best response he could come up with in his sleepy, dozy state.
"Tai, wake up I made you breakfast."
"Mmmmm breakfast." Tai replied opening one eye.
"Yes, now wake up sleepy head." Sora said giving his cheek another poke.
"Fine, fine, I'm awake, I'm awake."
With in 5 minutes Sora was sipping her coffee while witnessing a now, very wide away Taichi bolting his breakfast down with amazing speed. She couldn't help comparing him to Matt, the way he ate, the way he had dropped everything to comfort her. It was the first time since she'd woken up that Matt crossed her mind, she couldn't help wondering where he was, whether he had a hangover, whether he was worried about her whereabouts.
Tai could sense Sora was worried about something, since she kept staring into space, occasionally sipping her coffee. Tai couldn't help thinking, wishing that maybe this was how things should have been and though he couldn't tell Sora was thinking it too.
After washing the dishes up together, both covered in the washing up liquid foam, Sora left for her and Matt's apartment. Unaware that moments before she arrived Matt had let himself in and changed clothes, throwing his old ones in the washing machine to rid them of the smell of cheap perfume.
Sora knocked on the apartment door, hoping her boyfriend was at least awake. She was met by a wave of cologne as Matt opened the door, his eyes stared at her accusingly before letting her in.
"So, where were you then?" Matt asked.
"I was round Tai's." Sora replied offhandedly, unaware of her boyfriends accusing glares.
"What do you mean round Tai's."
"I mean round Tai's I spent the night there." Sora said either not caring about the hint of accusation in Matt's voice or simply not caring.
"YOU SPENT THE NIGHT THERE."
"Yeah as I recall someone left me who had the keys to the apartment, where was I supposed to sleep."
"Why didn't you call me."
"Forgot." Sora replied, not wanting to tell Matt the horrors of last night.
"Oh you forgot to call me but decided to spend the night round Tai's, don't you think that's a bit suspicious Sora?" Matt said his voice icy cold.
"For god sake Matt he's my best friend stop being such an asshole."
"Who happens to be male."
"Okay then Matt next time you decide to run off with the next pretty face, I'll sleep on the doorstep till you get home."
With that Sora ran to there room partly, to get changed and partly because Matt was right to be suspicious, the only thing that probably stopped Sora from jumping on Tai was the whole ordeal and if she knew than Matt could surely tell.
Back in the living room, Matt threw one his denim jacket, leaving his phone behind he left. Words kept crossing his mind and inside he could hear his mind taunting him repeating the words hypocrite. Slowly he walked towards Tai's apartment to find out the truth and if it wasn't the version he wanted to hear he knew he'd take drastic measures as deep down he wanted to hear Tai gloat, he wanted them to have slept together, at least that way he would have one way to get the deep loathing out of his system, he would at least feel better knowing she'd caused the same pain to him as he had supposedly done to her.
Back the apartment Sora became lost in her Evanescence album, he mind gripped onto the words of the music rather than reality, unknown to her that her boyfriend had left the apartment. She remained there listening for hours before leaving the bedroom. That was when she saw the message beeping on Matts phone, she walked over to it and pressed the button, the beeping had become to irritate her. Seeing that Matt wasn't in the apartment and under the circumstances, she couldn't help checking out to see who sent the message, she watched as an unrecognisable number appeared. She knew it was wrong but curiosity took over her mind and she pressed the button once again to reveal the message-
Hi Matt up 4 anuva nite
cant w8 2 cya agen
call me
Luv Naomi
Xxxxxxxxxx
Sora dropped the phone as if it was poison, shocked, she walked to the sofa before collapsing, her eyes went blurry and she curled up into a ball. Her mind kept repeating the message, hypocrite she mumbled before running to Matt's wardrobe and ripping down all his clothes. She needed something to relief her of her anger, she needed someone to comfort her, she needed Tai.
Holding the mobile in her hands she waited for Matt to come back, he had been gone hours and her worry was slowly being replaced by anger. Eventually as the 10:00 o'clock evening News appeared on the television Matt made an appearance.
"Where have you been?" She asked trying to control her anger and act as normally as possible.
"Out."
"Where?"
"Nowhere special."
"Doing what."
"What's this Sora and interrogation or something?"
"Just answer the question Matt."
"I had business to attend to."
"What kind Matt."
"The usual."
"What more slappers on your list."
"What is this about."
"You tell me."
"Sora stop playing games and tell me what the hell your on about."
"I'll give you 1 word- Naomi."
"Who?"
"MATT STOP THE SHITTY INNOCENT ACT AND TELL ME WHO THE DAMN GIRL IS."
"Sora I don't no what you on about." His voice was casual and uncaring but he still couldn't meet her gaze.
Forcefully Sora shoved the phone into Matt's hand, she watched as his face reacted, twisting into many different expressions from, guilt to anger, calm to confidence and worst of all love to hatred.
"YOU LOOKED AT MY MESSAGES."
"YEAH I DID, IT JUST KEPT BEEPING AND BEEPING WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO ADJUST."
"BUT IT WAS MY PHONE MINE WHAT GVE YOU THE RIGHT TO LOOK AT IT."
Sora pondered for a moment, she couldn't believe her boyfriend was twisting all his anger and guilt into something more horrible, hatred. Hatred is always described as a negative feeling such as hatred towards someone or thing but what people don't associate it with is the affect it can have on different people or emotions. Hatred is a powerful emotion that not many of us can control but mix it with positives and the results can be devastating. Take Love for example, many things break the special bond between lovers, affairs, lust, and you find they argue and misunderstandings of that person can lead to feelings of deep hatred. Or you could use friendship for example, when two friends argue the can become to hate one other then friendship is lost as a not well known saying goes-
"Friendship, is like glass handle with care. When its broken its hard to repair."
(A/N I did not write this quote)
"Curiosity, I guess....." Sora replied.
"CURIOSITY?"
"YES MATT CURIOSITY AND THANK GOD, OR I WOULD STILL BE IN THE DARK."
"DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, WHAT ABOUT YOU AND TAICHI, I'M NOT STUPID."
"FOR GOD SAKE MATT HE'S MY BEST FRIEND HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU." She screamed.
"WELL UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I DON'T HAVE A PHONE TO LOOK AT OR MY SUPERSTITIONS WOULD BE CONFIRMED!"
"DON'T YOU PIN THIS ON ME YOU THE ONE WHOSE BEEN UNFAITHFUL LEAVE TAI OUT OF THIS."
"HOW CAN I WHENEVER I'M NOT AROUND, ITS YOU AND TAI, YOU AND TAI DOING THIS, YOU AND TAI DOING THAT WELL SORA I'M SICK OF IT SICK OF TAI, BEING COMPARED TO HIM ALL THE TIME, BEING LOOKED DOWN AT BY YOU."
"YEAH WELL I'M SICK OF THE JEALOUSY, THE POSSESSIVENESS."
"WELL I'M SICK OF YOU RUNNING TO TAI ALL THE TIME, WHAT ABOUT THE LAST NIGHT, WHY DID YOU CALL HIM." Matt said breaking down into tears "Why didn't you call me?"
"Matt I-"
"NO DON'T MAKE ANY EXCUSES, YOU CALLED HIM NOT ME, WHY SHOULD YOU CALL ME I'M ONLY YOUR BOYFRIEND."
"Matt-"
"YOUR BOYFRIEND WHOSE BEEN WITH YOU FOR 3 YEARS."
"Matt-"
"JUST SHUT UP."
Sora jumped back in shock and touched her now red cheek where Matt had hit her. She knew the punch bore no regret.
You know Tai had that exact same face." Matt said his tone cruel and cold.
"Matt, what have you done." Sora said her attention changed from her stinging cheek to Tai
When she received no response her voice became shrill.
"MATT!!!"
"You know what just go to him now I doubt he'll want to see you." Matt said smirking.
Without a second thought Sora bolted out of the apartment, not bothering to grab a coat as the night rain poured down her red sleep, unable to cool the mark. Eventually she reached Tai's apartment, the lights were off and without the light patter of rain and the general city noises in the distance there was silence, she called out to him.
"TAI, TAI ITS ME PLEASE LET ME IN."
Repeating her plea's and becoming increasingly worried by every syllable she banged on the door. But still there was no reply. Now many of us would think to ourselves he was out but sometimes when we are not calm and worried we are able to feel things we have never felt before, for Sora she could sense he was in there every fragment of her body knew he was. Looking around her eyes fell upon the front window, quickly she whipped her apartment keys out of her pocket and slid them under the small space between the window and the window frame, the keys acted as a lever and allowed Sora to slip her fingers between the gap and pull the window upward, just enough for her to climb through.
The soft thud of her landing on the apartment carpet was amplified throughout the soft silence of the apartment. Quickly she scrambled to her feet and started searching the apartment, calling his name softly.
"Tai"
Only when she reached his bedroom did she get a reply.
"Sora."
As she opened the door she saw a fragile Tai sitting on the bed, knee's tucked into his chest, the only light in the room was the moonlight which flooded in through the bedroom window. The blinds were up and the curtains were pulled and Tai sat there in a little pool of light. Sora moved closer to him, making sure her eyes never left him, for she believed that one fatal look away could also take him as well. Kneeling down in front of him she tried to coax him into talking and explaining, she cupped his face and he didn't resist. She brought him up to look at her, in the moonlight she could see his black and blue face, his eyelids were closed as he couldn't bare to look at her. From the corner of his mouth was a tiny trickle of blood, streaming down the face and upon his chin. Sora gasped but he made no effort to wipe the trickle away, she traced the outline of a deep cut that had just began to heal, making sure her delicate hands didn't aggravate it but in reality the warmth of her touch comforted Tai. They stayed like that for a second, Sora taking in the sight of the battered Taichi and Tai refusing to look at her. Slowly Sora mustered up the courage and strength to talk.
"Who did this to you?" Her voice as quiet as a small breath, but it was enough for him to hear. His eyelids flickered.
"Tai look at me, I want you to tell me who did this to you." Sora said a little louder and a little surer. Slowly Tai opened his eyes, chocolate met crimson, he continued to stare at her his eyes trickling salty tears in the moonlight. Still awaiting his answer Sora wiped the tears away with her thumb, as her own tears began to form.
"Matt." Sora whispered letting the tears flow when she saw how hard Tai was trying to protect her.
"Sora, I just wanted to protect you." He whispered his voice quivering, wiping her tears away with the his fingers before she took his hand in hers, wiping the remaining tears with the back of her other hand.
"I know Tai and you always do." She said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek still holding onto each others hands.
They stared at each other in the moonlight, entwining there fingers, a small blush crept to Sora's cheeks defensively she let her hair fall forward to hide it. For a moment she thought she'd got away with it until she felt Tai's hand move the strand behind her ears. Leaning forward they kissed, letting there tongues do battle and there lips electrify with excitement and passion .What started of as simple but enjoyable kiss escalated, Sora found herself in Tai's embrace as they laid on the bed still kissing passionatly. Rapidly they made up for lost time, clinging to each other as if the other might leave, as the night grew so did the passion, in a matter of moments both Tai and Sora's garments were strewn across the floor. Suddenly they both came back to reality, again they kneeled opposite each other except this time naked. In embarrassment Sora placed both of her arms across her chest and let her hair hide the blush on her face. Tai kneeling too looked at her with curiosity he had always known his best friend was attractive but in the moonlight she looked immense every detail in place every inch of perfection in his eyes.
"Sora, I'll understand if you don't want to do this." Tai spoke.
"Tai-" Again embarrassed Sora hid behind her sheet of crimson hair.
Taking her gesture as a No Tai headed for the bedroom door, again the look of hidden disappointment crossed his face from when he was at the concert. Suddenly he felt a hand grasp his he turned to look at his naked illuminated Sora.
"Sora?"
"Tai, I want to." Sora whispered calm yet confidently.
With that Tai placed a loose strand behind Sora's ear before swinging her around. Caught in the passion again he laid her onto the bed before resuming covering her shoulders with tender butterfly kisses.
"I love you." he whispered
He started to caress her neck with his mouth, his breath was hot and sent her senses wild, she could hardly hear his constant I love you 's as the blood roared in her ears, his hand were everywhere here back, her waist, her breast and her bum. Every caress every stroke robbed her off her breath and burnt through her skin. She pulled him closer her hands wandering tenderly over his legs, his back and his ass. He continued to explore her body with his mouth while she whispered the I love you 's.
She let her mind drift away into the night's pattern, it was dream she kept thinking but every whisper every touch brought her back to reality, a place not quite heaven........
...........but then again not quite hell.
