Ch.3: Torn Hearts
*~*~*
Next Day . . .
The cold, bitter wind blew through my open window as I lie in bed, trying to fall asleep and never wake up. I felt sick, but not in my body, sick in my mind. I never wanted to see Riku and Sora ever again. Never.
Yesterday, I don't even want to think about. The look on Riku's face that night was so heart stopping, I felt dead right then and there. And the way he just turned around and left mad everything so much more terrible. I just had to run away. I ran, despite the fact that Sora was calling my name as I tore out of that place and all the way to my house. He didn't follow me, which I am glad that he didn't, for I fear that if he did, it would only make things worse. I haven't seen Riku since last night. I know I should go see him; I was about to this morning, but I couldn't even get myself out of my house. Sora hasn't even visited me. I think he understands that I want to be alone at this time. And that would be correct. The last thing I want now is Sora fussing over me.
I slowly sat up in bed with great difficulty, for I did not wish to awake at this hour, but the dumb breeze woke me. I yawned stiffly and stood to my feet, slipping my feet in my slippers in the process. I groggily walked over to my mirror and looked at my reflection.
Look at yourself, Kai. You look terrible. And you're doing this to yourself. My face was pale and gaunt looking and my red hair was frizzy and unmanageable. I had dark bags under my eyes from lack of sleep, and, put it simple, I looked exactly how I felt; dead. I shook my hair out of my eyes and got changed into some other clothes, for I was still wearing my attire from last night. As soon as I pulled my shirt over my head, a knock was heard on my door.
"Come in," I said in a half-awake voice. The door opened and the one person who I really didn't want to see at that moment walked in.
"Good morning," Riku said very calmly. What is he aiming for? Why is he giving me that creepy, totally fake smile? Why doesn't he just bring it all down on me at one time and not in little sections? Why is he torturing me like this?!
"Hello," I said in a very quiet tone, not wanting to show my fear. He seemed to notice how much I wanted him to lay it all on me, so he opened his mouth to speak.
"I want to talk about last night, Kairi," he said in an almost severe tone. If only he didn't have that creepy smile still plastered on his face, it would've been harsher sounding. I gave him a very shy smile and he continued.
"What exactly was going on between you and Sora?" he asked me, now making that false smile disappear into his normal, unreadable mien. I winced at this part, knowing what was coming next.
"Nothing. All he did was help me out of the ride by his hand, and I kinda forgot that he was still holding onto my hand when we met up with you," I told him. I hope he believes this. Riku lowered his face so that his eyes were hidden by with silver hair.
"How can you forget if somebody is holding your hand? It's kinda obvious," he said in a matter-of-factly voice. I didn't like his tone. I was starting to get angry by what he was saying to me.
"It's an easy mistake to make! I mean, remember that one time when you had your arm around me, and Sora came in and you forgot about it and you got really angry? Don't blame it all on me!" I said, raising my voice. Riku looked at me with a sneer on his face, but I could tell that he, too, was getting frustrated and angry.
"That's different. WE are going out. You and Sora are not. There is a HUGE difference!" he shouted at me, the colour rising in his face. I shook my head and yelled,
"Why do you have to be so protective over me?! You don't own me! I can do whatever I want to do!" Riku looked ready to hit me.
"Well, NOT WITH SORA!!!!" Riku hollered back at me. I growled menacingly. Why is he being such a jerk?!
"WHO CARES?!? IT'S MY LIFE!! DEAL WITH IT!!!" I screamed at him, losing all my cool and nerve. Riku couldn't take it anymore. He walked briskly up to me and struck me across my face with his fist. I fell to the floor, gasping for breath. I reached my hand up and felt the sore mark on my cheek and felt the warm tears. Riku has never hit me before. I didn't know whether to cry, stand up and hit him back, or just scream. Riku towered over my huddled body and glared at me.
"It's over, Kairi. You lost it, and now you lost me," he spat at me coldly. A tear ran down my cheek when he said this. Riku then turned and stomped out of my room and house, slamming the door behind him loudly. I sat there on the floor for the longest time after he left, feeling completely numb. It wasn't the punch he threw at me that tore my heart; it was the words he spoke. They stung me so badly; I couldn't describe the pain I was feeling.
My heart was torn in two and it was all my fault. I should have never gone on that ride with Sora, I should've never grabbed his hand, and I should've let go, I should've just walked away then. But no, I did everything wrong. All wrong. And now, Riku broke up with me, taking a piece of my heart with him.
I turned my head to look out my window and saw that it was raining and some of the rain was coming into my room and soaking my floor. I staggered up to my feet and walked towards the open window. I was about to close it when I spotted Sora walking to my house in the pouring rain. I quickly closed the window and ran outside.
The rain was splattering the pavement and the trees around me. My red hair was sticking to my face, but I didn't care. I ran right up to Sora, who was soaked completely and threw my arms around him, sobbing. Sora, caught by surprise, blinked a few times before realizing there was something wrong.
"Well . . .good morning to you too, Kairi. Is this 'sob on the nearest person to greet them' day?" he asked me with humour lingering in his voice. I sobbed even louder. Sora wrapped his arms around my soaking wet body and held me close.
"What's wrong? You're not usually like this. Kairi . . .tell me . . ." he demanded of me. I pulled my face out of his shoulder and looked into his face. Worry was smothering his tanned and wet face as he gazed into my crystal eyes.
"Oh, Sora! Riku broke up wi-with-mm-m—" I tried to say, but I just couldn't manage to say those terrible words. Sora gave me an understanding look and pulled me closer. He rested his chin on my head and said very softly,
"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. If I would've known that he would react like this, I would've never went on that ride with you," I looked into his face again.
"No, this is my fault. All mine. Please don't blame yourself. If anyone should beat themselves up about it, it should be me," I told him defiantly. Sora gave me a confused and pitying look then smiled.
"I'm not going to blame anyone. What happened is what happened. You can't change that. Riku was a jerk to overreact like that," he said quietly. He noticed a tear running down my cheek and wiped it away with his finger, only making my cheek even more wet. "Don't be sad, Kairi. When you are sad, the world is sad. See? The rain means that everything is gloomy. Like your attitude. If you smile, I bet it will stop raining," he told me. He sounded almost like a priest or something, but it did make my attitude rise a little.
"But Sora, what will I do without Riku?" I asked him fearfully. Sora caressed my chin in his hands and smiled.
"I'm still here," the next moment seemed to go in slow motion. Sora bent his face down towards mine, our noses brushed against each other's, and his lips met mine. At first, it was shock that came to me and I wanted to pull away, but instead, I pressed my lips firmer onto his. Sora pulled me closer as we kissed in the pouring rain. We pulled away from each other and smiled.
And for a reason I do not know why, at that moment, the rain stopped and the sun shone through the clouds.
