Chapter 7: Expect the Worse That Can Go Wrong.

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

Sora's POV

"Where you going?" He whispered in the quietest tone.

"To sleep." I took one last look at him before stripping down to my ivory gown.

"It suddenly is a lovely night. I'll keep you company."

He sat down and lifted his shirt on top of his head. Matt was so predictable, he does the same thing everyday but I liked it.

"Sure." I giggled as he placed his hand on my tummy. The pleasant smell of minted toothpaste taste tickled my nose, his lips slowly made it's way onto my. I suddenly trembled.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Just like any other night, I hesistated. My mother's lecture was suddenly getting to me....

Flashback:

"Sora, it's time to talk." Those were the most hiddeous words in English. When your boyfriends say it, it means you have to prepare for a mental breakdown. When your parents say it, it means they're either grounding you for life or giving you dump lectures about sex. I was just in the middle of watching Sex and the City when my mom came in the room and sat down next to me, hands crossed on my knees.

"What now?" I was getting impatient by the serious look on her face.

"Turn off the TV." It wasn't a suggestion, but a command.

"Why?"

"Because you're watching too much junks that you're too young for." She did the work for me and pressed the remote button.

I flipped my eyelids and faced her. "Look..." Again, the second most hateful word in English, always a perfect start to something confessive.

"All that nonsense on TV and what they call...one night stands. Don't fall for it. Just one night and your whole life can be changed. The next thing you know, you'd be in the hospital with a big stomach and soon you're stuck with a child to take care off."

"Mom, this is entertainment, I'm not going to..."

"Just..listen." I listened.

"I just don't want to to end up like me. I was seventeen when I got pregnate with you and your father just walk away and disappeared. I don't want you to make the same mistake. Think about it, sometimes you don't know if you're ready, but there are sedusive men who will trick you into doing it...It's a dangerous world."

End of Flashback....

Dangerous...is Yama dangerous?

I was in no position to stop.

"You okay Sora?"

I nodded.

He chuckled and kissed me softly at first, then more passionately. I felt like I was in some kind of wonderland with nothing to stress about.

He's all I think about now, trying to study for the SATs, all those calculus equations I've been reviewing were interrupted by the picture of him without clothes. Am I addicted to him? In a minute everything changed. I was totally unawared of someone at the door until the bell rang.

I let go of him. "I wasn't expecting anyone at this hour."

A pair of hands moved down my side. "Go check." He tilted to the door.

Shakingly I put on a rope and ask, "Who is it?"

"Mom."

I shut my lips from gasping.

Can't it be, was I hearing right?

"Who?" I managed to get out.

"Sora, it's mom."

All that was on my mind was to get Yama up of her sight. I didn't answer the door, no way will I answer with a man in the house.

"Uh, I...uh, I'll be right there. Don't try to open the door, I...uh, locked it with the chain."

Yamato was waiting for my command. "Go, closet!" I shouted out in a whisper and waved.

He mouthed an okay and flew back into my room in an incredible speed like he was scoring a touchdown. Oh my god, oh my god. Those words were the only thing I could mouth. Why's my mom here? She should be back next week. Oh, how could I be that stupid! She never sticks to her schedule.

I heard the sound of keys fiddling around the doorknot.

"I'm coming." I didn't know what to do. My eyesight stopped and landed on the chain. That's it! I hooked the chain to the wall so she wouldn't get in even if she has the key.

"Sora, I can't get in, your closet's full!" I heard Yama's voice in the other room.

"What?" I sprinted down the hall, "Aw no! Um...just climb up and squeeze in above the clothes."

He gingerly stepped on the boxed of clothes and climbed onto the board above the cloth hangers.

"Don't make a sound!" I swallowed and closed the sliding door.

"Sora!"

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

"Coming, mom!" She sprinted back and unhooked the chain, forgetting about Matt's stuff. It was too late correct her mistake now, her mom was pushing the door open and coming in with a welcoming smile on her face. Sora swallowed and bit her lips, soon that smile would disappear, replace by a shocking face of an overprotective parent.

"What's wrong dear?" she noticing her sweating hands reaching over to accept her luggage.

"Uh, why are you here so early? Don't you have a meeting or something?" She ask as a distraction.

"Yes, we had it two days ago, and I missed you so much so I decided to come home early." her mom responsed warmly and patted her like a dog.

"Oh that's great, I missed you too mom!" Sora lied and forced a widen grin, "You know what you need right now...a nice hot bubble bath." She tucked on her arm.

Mrs.Takenouchi shook her head no, "No, I'm too tired right now, I just want to sleep." She begin walking towards her room.

Sleep? You can't sleep right now! Your room is a mess and occupied with music stands and guitars...Sora mental shouted in her head.

"No!" Sora clamored, " no no no, sleep is just a waste of time. Besides, you can sleep in the bath tub, it'll be more comfortable!" Sora blocked her and smiled towards the bathroom nearby. It's clear that she wasn't buying any of this.

"Sora, what's gotten into you?" Mrs.Takenouchi frowned and pushed away her hands.

She wouldn't let lose and allow her mother to get any further. Mrs.Takenouchi stared at her in disbelief. "Are you right? Did something happen?"

"No, absolute nothing at all. I'm fine!" she shouted out, guilty of every lie that slipped out of her lips.

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

A clash.

Followed by fall of furnitures and scattered sounds of broken wood. "Ouch." Someone yelled.

Sora pressed her soaked hands against her chest to prevent her organs from pumping out by the scare. She knew what it was, Yamato. He's safety came first to her mind, all the groundings would be done after she explain all this too her mom. Right now, Sora hustled back to her room, hoping that he didn't break his bones. A piece of the sliding door break apart. Glancing inside, Yama was in a rough position, head upside down pressed again the hardwood. "Sora, why is he in our house!?"

She ignored her mom's screech and hurried to him. The whole closet flipped. Once on top, now Matt was buried underneath the heavy clump of duffle bags and clothes, with the split mahogany board weighing him down.

Yama, despite of the gawky position he was in, reach out an arm and whispered a sign of assurance, "I'm okay."

She cried. Tears flow down like raindrops in a thunderstorm as she held him up to his knees. Yama dusted the dirt off his bare shoulders. Sora's ruby orbs met a pair of fretful blazing red eyes beaming upon them, searching for an cause to this insanity.

"I...I can explain." Her voice cracked at the last word.

She looked at the shirtless man leaning over her shoulders, then back at her mom....

Two more chapters so bare with me here. I know it's boring so far but I'll write better on the ending hopefully. I'll continue if I get more than 3 or 4 reviews, so review! Just one word will make me happy.
