"Leave me alone!"

I sit up, my breathing shallow. I feel cold sweat on my face, my heart pounding against my chest. I push my sopping fringe out of my eyes, and try to regulate my breathing. As I begin to calm down, I look around. Sora is sleeping on the couch, and Joe is sleeping about a metre away from me. I look at the clock on the wall- 2:15am. I get up, and walk to the kitchen. I didn't have a chance to take my medication before bed, so I decide to take it now. As I push out the pills, my thoughts wonder back to Tai, lying in my bed. I grab a glass, fill it with water, and swallow the pills. As I put the glass into the sink, I notice a reflection of light at the tip of the glass. I follow the stream of moonlight on the table, floor, beds, and find myself looking at the curtains that open out onto the balcony. A stream of moonlight is peeping through a gap in the curtains. A warm sense of calm spreads through me. I smile. Such a simple piece of nature, yet it gives me a calming feeling. I walk over to the curtains, and throw them open. The door was open, and the cool night air refreshes me. I close my eyes as the moonlight shines upon me, and I am lost in the moment. I open my eyes to look upon the city, when I notice a figure sitting in the corner of the balcony. I look directly at it, before gasping.

It was Tai.

I dash over to him. He was sitting with his bandaged arm propped on his knees, staring blankly at it. I kneel next to him, and throw my arms around his neck in a hug.

"Oh Tai…" I whisper, tears welling in my eyes. His breathing was erratic, and his face was cold.

"Why does is hurt so much?" he asks, his voice like an icy wave of depression. I withdraw from my hug, and stare at his cloudy brown eyes. They were no longer the warm, mischievous, caring eyes I had known all my life. These ones made my heart go cold.

"It will heal," I reply, referring to his arm, "if we look after it properly." Tai began to tremble, as his eyes slowly closed.

"Why does is hurt so much?" Tai asks again, his voice quavering. Then I realise. It's not his arm- it's his heart. I don't know what to say. Tai brings his legs in closer, and lowers his head. Emotions flood my mind. A single tear streams down my left cheek as I once again wrap my arms around Tai's shoulders. Tai moves closer to me. I rest my head in his soft brown hair.

"You don't know the truth… and I Luv Your Life…"
