Last night you were, unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me....Do it again.

Chapter 4: Confession
The clock ticked with every second passing by. "He's late!" Sora was rising her voice to a scream. The short hand passed 8 and slowly made it's way to 9.
"I called him but he wasn't there. Do you think he's on his way right now?" Sora asked her roomate Yamato, who was sitting on the couch with his arms crossed.
"Nah...he'll never show up..." Yamato convinced her to forget it about. From the smirk on his face, he was clearly enjoying this. Even if Tai did decide to come pick her up, Matt couldn't wait to see Sora put a slap on his face for being almost an hour late.
"I hope he's okay..." Sora wondered. Her frustration stirred up her growing nerves.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Shit!" Taichi hit fast and slammed on the horn. It was too late. The car in front of him was about to made a turn to the right, but it turned too slowly.
Tai jerked his own car to the left to avoid a heavy crash. Still, he heard a clashing thump, followed by an effect of inertia that caused his upper body to sling toward, almosted hitting the window before being stopped by the lifesaving seatbelt.
All of this was so sudden. Tai didn't know what damage was done until an angry man hollered out of the tiny car in front of his.
The man with a Hitler mustach approached him without mercy like a mad elephant. He banged his fist against Tai's window.
Tai rolled it down, gaving him a cheesy, delightful smile.
"Do you know what you've done? Look at it!" he pointed to his car. The trimming on the red car made of chrome was scrapped off. A hollow space about a foot in diameter curved out in the red jeep from where the two cars collided.Tai walked out and carefully examined the scenario. His own car was still in good shape except for the broken front lights.
"Dude, I'm sorry. I might have gone too fast."
"I'm calling the police!"
"C'mon! I have a date and I'm already late!"
"Who cares about your freakin date, do you know how much this baby cost?"
"Here take the whole wallet if you want. I have a date and I need to leave right now!" Tai thrusted his wallet into the palm of the German's hands.
"You don't even have a single buck in here!" He exclaimed after weighing how light the leather object was, throwing it back at him.
"I'm calling the police."
"Aw great." Tai murmured and leaned against his car.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sora looked in the mirror. For the first time in her life she actually put on a skirt to look less like a tomboy, all just for Tai. Only to find that her so called date not showing up after a whole hour of waiting. The sound of footsteps approached her. She turned around, expecting Yamato to place his arms on her and speak out those comforting words of his heart.
"There are others more worthy for you." He said, handing her a tissue for her running nose and red veiny eyes.
"Like who?" she asked, bring the white tissue to her face.
"You're still not seeing?" She saw it, it was solemnly stated on the man's face. He loved her. All this years, Yamato looked out for her like a little sister. More than a sister, he risked his own life for her safety. She was forced to look at his orbs. A sudden flashback made her tremble.
Flashback...
It was just like any other winter day at the park. All of the digitestineds were there, even Mimi, her best friend.
"Go on Sora. You can do it girl!" Mimi supported from the side. Sora stood, unsure about this. All the other days ended with a big icy landing on her ass. This time, everyone was there to cheer her on. This is her big chance to prove to the Tai that she's not a scardy cat who back away from challenges. Tai had teased her about her lack in skills in skating and challenged her to skate to the other side of the frozen lake without falling. Yamato nudged her to go on. She gave him a glance back and smiled.
Sora started out slowly, careful not to get too closer to another objects that might cause her to lose her concentration. She picked up the speed with her skates and let herself get used cold burns from the wind. Getting caught up in the moment, she skated too far, not realizing the the lake was a private lake without any safety rules regarding anything about playing on ice. She couldn't stopped herself when the ice was getting thinner and thinner until cracks were appearing behind and in front of her trail. "Ah, guys help!" she was terrified. The solid ground below her numb heels opened up and a splash of water entered her feet, crawling up to her chest, then swallowing her body completely. She gasped for breath, but the heavy skates pulled her under. Sora's lungs couldn't take in anymore. Using her last bit of breath, she shouted a final cry of help. Before passing out, she saw a diving figure reached down and gripped her arms. She couldn't tell who he was, she closed her eyes and give in to the icy water.
End of flashback..
After that painful experience, Sora never set a foot on ice again. In the end, it was no other but Yamato who pulled her out of the freezing water. Good ole Matt. She was counting her fingers to see how many times he either helped her out or save her life. A lot, she decided, and didn't waste the time counting. The man standing half a head taller in front of her nudged closer. A trace of fingertips drawn up from her arms to her blushing face. The pair of hands full of warmth reminded her what is was like to be loved. Yamato leaned in to meet her eyes up close. Sora could sense every move he was about to make. She could sense him drawing in for a passionate kiss.
He gave all his heart into it, she could sense that too. Sora enjoyed it, this is who she want to be with tonight, not Tai. She found herself embraced by his tongue exploring vigously into her mouth, senting herself a tingling sensation all the way down her feet. Her body tickled everywhere he touched her. Sora clinged tightly onto his back, in their tilting position she was afraid that she would falling back and hit the ground if it wasn't for his strong grip. For a moment he swiftly loosened his body from hers, only to start unlacing her top. "No!" the scream wasn't meant to come out, but every one of her terrified thoughts was finding their way to reality. "No, get away from my sight! You said you wouldn't...liar!" Yamato retreated his steps.
"but I thought you wanted..."
She hit him hard with a pillow. "Well, you thought wrong Yamato Ishida. And I was wrong to think....just go!"
Matt looked at her for a split second, then turned to leave the room. "And don't come back!" she added scornfully. Only moments later she regretted what she had just done. The door banged shut without another word. Then total silence of despair formed an untouchable mist around her. Sora sobbed as she collapsed on the wooden floor and brought her knees up to her face, shrinking herself as small as possible. "Oh great," she thought, " finally I discovered someone who dedicated his whole life for me, who would die for me, who loved me, and I chased him away. How could I be so stupid!" her sob became more voilent, tears of regrets left her mouth tasting salty and sour.
She slowly got up and walked through the hallway, passed the bedroom full of Matt's stuff, and stopped once she reached the front door. Gingerly, Sora twisted on the handle. It opened slightly, a slim outline of a figure appeared between the corners of joined walls. He hadn't gone anywhere, just stood infront of the doorway, almost as if expecting her to come.
The handsome face lifted up to see Sora standing under the dim lights from the living room inside. "Hi," Matt muttered."What are you doing out here?"
"I...it's hard to stay alone at night now. Will you come back?" she asked.
He nodded, "Whenever you're ready princess."

OMG! I can't believe I finished this chapter in half an hour. The plot came so easily.... no wonder it's so cliche. Oh well, I'm just dying to finish this up soon and start a new fic. Still Sorato, I think. I haven't really thought of a good beginning yet. REVIEW! and I wrote review in capital letters because I will literally be sitting in front of my comp waiting for emails to show up.
