Chapter 2: The First Day

"Just when I thought life can't get any worse, you show up! I don't know what to expect next."

-Annonymous

Sora sat impatiently at the side of her bed. She placed cold towel on his forehead. At this moment, her heart beat was twice as fast, frightful thoughts were drifting in and out of her mind... "What if he never wake up?"
"Should I call the police? No...they'll ask too much questions, they'll accuse me of commiting a crime after I tell them what happened."
"Maybe I can lie and say I found him on the street...I wouldn't call that dishonesty, just not telling the whole story..."
"But what if Matt wake up in the hospital and tell everyone that I beat him up...probably not a good idea."

"I don't want him to die!" she decided, extended her hands for the phone. She picked it up, her fingers feebly dialed 911. Luckily, when Sora was just about to dial the last number she saw the pair of sapphire eyes gapping gradually. She throw the phone away and neglectedly hugged him tight around his neck, "Thank god, your awake! I was so worried that I thought you're never going to wake up!"

Matt gave a her an unpleasant moan. Sora pulled away, her weary eyes glanced at him fretly as she spoke, "How are you feeling Matt, can you talk?" she asked, cupping his cheeks, afraid that his delicate bone structure might fall about without a support.

Yamato responsed with slight head shake.

"Are you hurt? Besides your face I mean."

He weakly pointed to a spot just above his stomach and nodded. Sora pulled up his shirt and found a clatter of bulging red bruises on his rib bones. "Ouch, that's gonna turn purple tomorrow. I'm so sorry Matt, I didn't mean..." Sora muttered, she had tears in her red eyes, strolling down the side of her face. Yamato sympatically pressed his hand on her tears, wipting it off and gave her a smile as a forgiveness. She continued, "I didn't mean to punch you in the face or kick you. I got scared and thought you were some kind of kidnapper, I mean...what else was I suppose to think? I was on the street alone in the dark and someone unexpectedly reached out a hand and grabbed me....I really didn't mean it." Yamato chuckled without actual sounds of laughter coming from his throat.

"I'll call your parents and tell them you're okay," she reached for the phonebook, but Yamato held her back. "What's wrong? You want to say something?"

Yamato opened his lips to murmur, speaking in a language Sora didn't understand, "dom ca....I...ar..... "

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sora said, she ripped out a yellow piece of sticky note, and handed it to him with a pen, "here, write it down."

Yamato wrote something short in a messy handwriting and gave it back to her.

"Don't tell my parents, they have no idea. I moved out of their apartment a while ago," she read it out loud, "Oh....shouldn't I at least tell them something?"

Yamato turned his head to the direction of the clock and pointed to it, urging her to read the time. Sora saw the short hand pointed to 4, it was still too early. "Okay, forget it, I won't call them at this time of the day. You can stay here until you get better. I'll be next door in my mom's room if you need me," she reassured him and covered a blanket over the resting body. She got up too leave, shutting the door behind her.

Matt instantly bursted into a laughter as Sora walked away. "This is the best day of my life!" he whispered to himself. Despite of all the aching, he touched the bruises Sora gave him and messaged his hands gently over them as if they were treasures made of pure gold. Then he turned to lay on his side and smelled the pillow, it was scented with pleasant smell of Sora's hair. "I can get use to this..." he looked around his surroundings, still not believing he was laying on a bed in Sora's room.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The alarm clock rang, Sora turned over to face the wall, ignoring the pathetic sound of the clock. It got louder and louder, she swore as she slammed her hand on the OFF button. Still tired, she went back to sleep.

She found herself walking down the dark corridor, coming home from another day of school, just as she opened the door Yamato stood in the hallway . "Ah! Why are you still in my house?" she screamed out, horrified at his face, the same old one with a twisted mouth and a purple spot on the chin. "Sora Takenouchi, don't think you can just beat me and get away with it. You will pay...." he's voice was hideous and dreadful like frankenstein in a horror movie. She swallowed and ran down the corridor. When the elevator appeared in front of her, she yanked the button and pried it will work. Yamato walked toward her with a evil smirk on his face, soon he was standing close to her, his face just inches away, senting her cold goosebumps. The elevator door still hadn't opened. Just as she feared, Yamato gripped her hands tightly. "There's no escape," he murmured.

She sat up on her mom's bed. "That was a freaky dream! I never have nightmares...until now." she thought. Sora was sweating heavily, her gown stuck to her red and wet skin. After calming herself down by inhaling deepily, she looked up at the clock. 8:00 AM! School started half an hour ago. Quickly, Sora slipped on a T shirt that says Boy Crazy on the front and a pair of unwashed gym shorts. She never cared about how she looked or smelled in her baggy clothes, today was no different. After grabbing her backpack, she went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Yamato was sitting by the breakfast counter, eating a bowl of Special K cereal, "Matt! What are you doing here, you should be resting."

"Good Morning Sora," Yamato greeted her with his mouth full. "Why do you have your backpack?"

"Because unlike you, I actually go to school everyday," she set her stuff down on the floor and joined him by dumping the rest of the cereal into a bowl and adding some milk, swallowing it down her mouth without even using a spoon. Never did she mention her creepy dream to Yamato.

"But today's Saturday, school's closed if you haven't noticed."

Sora put down the bowl and stopped. She stared at him unbelievably, "Today's Saturday?"

Yamato rolled his eyes. Sora turned red and giggled at her stupidness, "I guess I lost track of time. There's been weird things happening to me lately. So..uh...you feeling better?"

He nodded, "Uh huh," he lied, his mouth was still in agony from that fist she gave him.

Sora gingerly set her eyes upon his wound, just as she expected, his bruises turned voilet on the edge of his mouth. Looking closely as Yamato chewed his food, Sora noticed a spot of black between his teeth, unmistakingly, he was missing a tooth.

"Did I knock out your tooth too?"

He sighed, "Yeah you did," he acted like it was no big deal, being nice as a friend and went back to eating.

"Oh my god! Let me see." she walked up to him looked inside his mouth. He opened it and showed a gigantic space on the top row of his white and glittering teeth.

"But it was all right last night...how did it come off?"she asked.

"It was wobbling this morning when I woke up, so I pulled it out with my finger."

"Maybe you can glue it back on, I have some glue that works really well," she suggested, her expression showed a hint of seriousness.

Matt raised an eyebrow at her.

"Okay then, maybe not..."she said and looked away, her face turned into a sad frown, "I feel so bad now. If there's anything I can do to repay you, I'd do it."

The blonde boy thought for a sec, then shook his head, "You don't need to be sorry. I should be the one apologizing, I should have never followed you."

Sora hastily interrupted, "You followed me? So you were stalking me the whole time and I actually believe it was my fault?" she exploded in anger.

"Woo woo, calm down," Matt put his hand down on her head and let her sat down before speaking on, "I saw you coming out of the apartment building across the street from my window, then a few minutes later the police came to that place and arrest a lot of people who looked like they were drunk. I thought something was wrong so I got out my coat and went looking for you."

Sora was speechless. She felt even worse now, his friend was being nice and caring while she acted like a big jerk. They ate in silence, without even looking at each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The phone rang. Sora was caught up in one of her favorite book. The lemony scene in the novel got her sucked in, it was too exciting to stop and pick up the phone. She let it rang 5 times, then the answering machine picked up. She groaned as a voice came on, interrupting her from her reading.

Beep

"Uh listen honey, it's mom. I promised you that I'd come home next week but my boss just told me that I have to attend this important meeting next month in LA, so I have to stay here for couple of weeks. You're a big girl now and I trust you can take care of yourself. Do your homework everyday and go to the grocery shop whenever you need to, just eat too much sweets. Don't forget to do the laundry and clean your room regularly, I expect the house to be neat when I come back....'sure' Sora grumbled.

Got to go, I have an interview that starts in five minutes. I'm in a hurry, but I'll call you back as soon as I can. Bye Sweetie."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...." her mom could go on for hours. "So much for In a Hurry..." she muttered and didn't exactly know how to react, she was both happy and sad at the same time. Happy that she can finally enjoy a month of her life without a chattery and strict mouth to boss her around, but she hated doing all the chores around the house.

"I know how you feel, it's weird living alone," Yamato stood at the door, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pants pockets. It was as if he can tell exactly what she was thinking. His way of mindreading amuses her sometimes.

"Really?" she asked flirtatiously after put a bookmark in the page she left off, interest in what he has to say.

"Yeah, it gets quiet sometimes, too quiet." he said, "I hated it," he added on in a sterny tone.

"Well...you can stay here if you want...since we're both by ourselves," Sora found her mouth making an awkward suggestion.'Did I just ask Yamato to move in with me? Boy, what I was thinking? I must be outta my mind!' she screamed in her ears, hoping that he didn't hear.

He heard, unfortuately. Sora sat up on her chair, anxious for his reply.

A/N: Good? Bad? Boring? Tell me what you think. Review or sent me email if you like. I'm done with the next chapter and I personally think it's better than this one, I just want to wait until I get some reviews and post it up tomorrow. So don't disappoint me. CrazyAmzy.
