Torn Between Two

A/N: I was literally pulling my hair out cuz I needed a plot for this chappie and I couldn't think of one, so if this one seems a little odd and confusing, you'll understand. Right? I hope so. Stupid writers block! *falls off chair* here you go!
Disclaimer: I thank you, Square Soft and Disney for many things. One, for making an awesome RPG game, two, for making a sequel, and three, FOR GIVING ME DUMB WRITERS BLOCK!!!!! So, I'm glad I do not own KH, well, kinda . . .
Ch.4: Some Bad Mistakes
*~*~*
Sora gazed up at the now blue and cloudless sky and smiled. I couldn't help it either; I had to smile too.
"See, what did I tell you!" he said to me happily. I glanced into his wet face and laughed. Sora looked at me with a confused expression then laughed along with me. I don't know why exactly I was laughing, I just felt so free and happy. Standing in Sora's arms just made my mood lift amazingly.
After our laughter died down, Sora peered into my face, still soaked from the earlier rain. I looked up into his in return as he started to lean in towards me again. Our lips were just about to brush against each other's when a loud car horn sounded behind us, making us jump about 10 feet. I had almost forgotten that we were standing in the middle of the road!
I looked over Sora's shoulder and noticed a little white car, which I recognized. "Selphie!" I called out to the car. Selphie pulled over to the side of the road and hopped out of her car.
"My God, woman! What did you think you were doing, standing in the middle of the road at this time of day!?!" she asked me, astonished by my actions. I ran to her and gave her a huge hug. Selphie hesitated at first, then gave me a friendly hug back.
"What was that for, Kai?" she asked me. I just shook my head, unsure myself why I gave her a hug. Selphie looked over my shoulder and spotted Sora. She leaned towards me and whispered in my ear:"And what was with you and Sora? You guys were really close!" she asked me curiously.
"Oh! That? Uh . . . nothing! We were just hugging is all. Yea . . ." I kept slipping for the right words to lie, I didn't want Selphie to know about the kiss Sora and I shared. Selphie gave me a skeptical look, but ignored it.
"Riiiiight . . . Hey, Sora!" Selphie called out to the soaking boy, who was still in the middle of the road. He looked over at her and smiled. "I'm gonna go take Kairi for a bit. Don't' worry, you'll see her later!" she added teasingly. I nudged her in the rib. Geez, Selph, thanks a lot!
"C'mon, you'll catch your death in those wet clothes," she told me and herded me back to her car. She opened the passenger door and ushered me in. I got a brief chance to wave goodbye to Sora before I was shoved inside. Selphie walked around the front of the car and climbed into the driver's seat. She turned the key and pulled back onto the road. Once we were well away from Sora, she gave me an anxious look.
"So . . . " she started quietly. I looked at her, quite confused and worried by what she was going to say. "What was with you and Sora? I mean, where was Riku?" she asked me finally. I let some of the air out through my mouth that I had been holding back. I was so happy she didn't ask me something else. I hesitated for a moment, then cleared my throat uneasily.
"Well . . .this morning, Riku . . .well . . .uhh . . .kinda . . .sort of . . ." I faltered. Selphie interrupted me.
"SPIT IT OUT!!" she yelled impatiently to me. I jumped and finished my phrase quickly.
"Rikubrokeupwithme!" I rambled. I said this very fast, but I think she caught whim of it, for she got a very pitying look on her face. She turned her gaze back on the road.
"Oh, Kai! I'm so sorry! But, why did he break up with you?" she asked me, her voice full of concern. I lowered my eyes to my sandals.
"He got, well . . .jealous, I guess . . ." I stuttered uncertainly. I could feel Selphie's eyes burning into the back of my head when I said this so I quickly added, "Of me and Sora. He thought that Sora and I were growing too close to each other, and that he was taking advantage of me. Do you really think I was doing what Riku said I was and Sora was taking advantage of me?" I asked her curiously. Selphie fixed her eyes back on the road.
"I don't know, Kai. The last time I saw you and Riku, you guys were happy little clams. I don't know if you really changed your feelings for him in a few hours," she told me. I nodded my head knowingly. She's right, she wouldn't know. She wasn't there at the park. She didn't see what happened. She didn't see that look on Riku's face.
I kept my eyes on the bottom of the car as we drove on, I'm guessing back to Selphie's house. All I could think about was feelings I didn't really understand myself what they were. I think I still love Riku, but our relationship is over. But I have a weird feeling, like I want him back or something. Then I would have to apologize or something to get him back. But there's also Sora. He's my best friend, along with Selphie, but I have been getting closer to him lately. It's not like me to be drawn to him; I have never been before. What has gotten into me?
Selphie pulled into her driveway and stopped the car. She unbuckled her seat belt and clambered out her car door. I remained seated for a bit longer, trying to finish up these thoughts and questions that kept zooming at me without warning or cease. I then unbuckled my seat belt, and climbed out of her car as well. Selphie walked up to her front door, stuck a key into the lock and pushed the door open. She disappeared inside, and I soon followed.
The cute little hallway that greeted us as we went inside was dark and gloomy, except for a few patches of sunlight, coming in through some windows, shining down in various places on the hard wood flooring. Selphie flicked on a few light switches and her whole downstairs came into view. A little coo-coo clock from somewhere in the house tolled 12:00 noon with it's little bird chiming.
"Come on, I'll make us some lunch while you go change out of those clothes," Selphie instructed me while walking away into the kitchen. I nodded my head and strolled into Selphie's room, leaving little wet footprints wherever I went.
Selphie's room was a cluttered mess, like mine back at my house, with clothes scattered all over the floor and miscellaneous things stacked in piles on dressers and vanities. It made me smile, making me feel more at home than Riku's house ever did.
I walked over to one of Selphie's many drawers and pulled out a cute little tube top and short shorts. Selphie's clothes always fit me, for we were practically the same size. I pulled off my sopping wet clothes and flung them to the floor where they landed in a wet heap. I then pulled the dry clothes on and looked at myself in the mirror.
That dull, pale look was gone and a blooming, happy look took its place. I don't know why exactly I looked like this at this time; maybe it was something about Sora. I mean, he always did make me feel happy and fun loving, like I usually am supposed to be, but this time was different. Was it something about the kiss?
I could smell hot tea brewing in the kitchen and grilled cheese sandwiches frying. I bounded out of the room and into the kitchen where Selphie was frantically trying to flip a sandwich over on the grill. She gave the sandwich a hard shove with the spatula and the sandwich went flying into the air and landed on a plate. Selphie blinked at it a few times, wondering how she did that, then turned to see me standing in the doorway.
"Lunch is served!" she called to me happily. She flipped over the other sandwich and put it on another plate and handed it to me. I took the plate and sat down at her little table in the corner. Selphie grabbed the two cups of tea and her plate and sat across from me. She took a long sip from her tea then looked me square in the eye.
"What happened to your face?" she asked me, peering at my right cheek. I reached my hand up to it and felt the swollen red mark still lingering there.
"Oh. Uh . . .somebody hit me . . ." I started off uneasily. Selphie didn't look satisfied.
"Who?!" she demanded of me. I looked away. Should I tell her? Or should I just lie and say it was someone else?
Uh . . .well . . .Riku did," I finished with a sigh of relief. Selphie's eyes popped out of her head when I said this though. She started taking in short little breaths in shock.
"RIKU HIT YOU?!" she screamed incredulously. I winced. I didn't want the whole world to hear it. I hope she doesn't freak out and tell everyone one on all of the islands!
"Well . . .yea . . .it's nothing to get freaked out about, Selph. I've been hit so many times before. Don't freak!" I told her frantically. Selphie was far from not freaking. I knew I shouldn't have told her. Something tells me that this day will really suck.
*~*~*
"Ok, thanks for the clothes and food!" I called out to Selphie while stepping out of her house and hour and a half later. Selphie stood in the front doorway and smiled.
"Don't worry about it! Glad to have you as company!" she responded with a wave of her hand. I grinned back at her.
"See ya!" we called to each other in unison. I walked down her walkway and down her driveway to the road. I marched along the side of the road, thinking about some random things.
Ok, I know that Sora liked me when I was younger, but I didn't really know he still liked me that much. I mean, him and Riku had little competitions over me when we were about 14 years old, but are they still going at it? It seems so. Maybe Sora thought that now since I wasn't going out with Riku anymore, he could zoom in and take me away. Maybe so. But I'm still unsure about the whole situation. This is all just too confusing! I don't know who I love! I think I love Riku, but then again, I feel like I practically love Sora too! Argh!
When I reached my house, these inner conflicts still were pestering me. I unlocked my front door and pushed open the door. I jumped backwards in alarm by what met my eyes.
"HI KAIRI!!!" Sora greeted me with a grin. I pressed myself against a wall to catch my breath; he practically gave me a heart attack! How did he get into my house?!
"You scared the shit outta me!" I yelled at him. Sora grinned apologetically. He had changed, and was now wearing a black tee shirt and black pants. He looked good . . .wait . . .what am I saying? Stupid Kairi! Don't say that!!
"Sorry. I just wanted to ask you something as soon as you came home. I didn't mean to give you some kind of seizure," he added with a childish laugh that echoed throughout my house. I smiled weakly back at him. What is he aiming at?
"So! I was wondering . . .do you wanna go do something tonight?" he asked sheepishly. There it is . . .that's what he wanted. He wanted to ask me out! Well, what should I say?
"Uhh . . .sure . . ." I said uncertainly. Sora's grin grew wider.
"Great! Then, let's go!" he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me out the door. I resisted at first, then gave in and let him drag me somewhere I knew nothing of.
Yep, today is going to suck. But, maybe, it won't be so bad. Knowing Sora, I don't know how bad this will be. I just hope nothing happens . . .
