Sora sighed over the bouquet in her arms. Roses so red, expressing love.

"I haven't got all day you know!" Came an angry voice from the other side of the counter.

"You wanted the whole bouquet Mr Havelock?" Sora asked bringing herself back to the present. The man coughed before taking a deep breath.

"I would like this bouquet, of your finest roses, sent to Romeos End in Ramsey Street with THIS personal card." He presented it as if it were the crown jewels. "Be careful you don't bend it!" He warned as she took it. She smiled a tight smile and placed the little envelope carefully in the roses.

"Our delivery boy is going out in about an hour so it should get delivered before the milkman."

"Good. Add it to my tab."

"Good." She echoed as he left the shop. Absent-mindedly she raised the bouquet to her nose and took a long breath. She could remember best like this. Her bouquet. Her roses.

An all day florists. You couldn't say that they were common. And successful ones like "The Garden" were almost impossible to find. Sora was used to the life now. She spent half the week sleeping throughout the day and working at nights and for the rest of the week she could get back to a more regular day when she could socialise. At first it had been hard to cope with such a strange routine but then … Well it meant she got time to herself as well.

She had no family now. Technically she was "all alone in the world." Except for friends. And Matt. All the family's money had gone to her, but she didn't want to use it all up yet. She was saving it for something special … Someone special.

That was when she had really found out about her feelings for Matt. Perhaps at the beginning it would all have been just a schoolgirl crush, but not now. Never again. Her family had died all in one go. No more mother. No brothers or sisters. Matt had been on a tour when the terrorist attack had robbed Sora of all her relations. He had been on his way to France but when Sora called him in tears he caught the next plane back.

It was then when she saw him on the doorstep, roses and chocolates in his arms, and his guitar slung on his back, and the most concerned look in his eyes. That was when it had hit her. Suddenly her heart was full and she knew, KNEW that there could never be anyone else. He had dropped it all and taken her in his arms and kissed her again and again. Telling her "They were all there for her. The Gang. They would look after her and she wasn't to worry and she could cry all she wanted and that they would all stand by her… He would stand by her."

She had kissed him. Fully. They had gone into the house and she had cried. Holding the roses to her face and laughing and then remembering what she had lost and weeping again. And he had stayed there with his warm embrace. His loving arms and his smile. He had sung for her. Sad songs and angry songs and all the love songs he had written. His voice had been like a drug. She just couldn't get enough. She would beg him to sing again and again, and he had. Even though he was exhausted. He had and the next day his voice had gone. He was supposed to have caught up with the band but he stayed with her. A week he lived under her roof. The gang came and went but he had stayed.

That had been about four months ago. Things with Tai were difficult. She had known about his crush but she couldn't ignore her feelings. Tai was a friend, a really good friend. But that was all. They hadn'tbeen actively avoiding each other though ... Not untilthat party.

Loads of people were there because it was Joe's birthday. His friends had been giving him drink and in the end everyone including Matt had ended up getting at least a little drunk. Matt had seen her and grinned. Then he had taken her by the hand and pulled her up onto a table. Then he shouted at everyone to shut up and pay attention before kissing her full on the mouth. She was so thrilled!

Until she saw Tai's face. It was hurt. And jealous. And … angry. He looked directly into her eyes and she winced at the ferocity of his feelings. She had hoped that he wouldn't be too upset, she didn't realise how much he must have felt for her. It made her heart ache and she had asked Matt to come away who she thought looked at Tai before following her to the bar. He had sobered up suddenly, probably when TK poured cold water all over them both. She was so embarrassed and everyone made so much fun of her that she had forgotten about Tai. But apparently Matt hadn't. He had gone after him. Next day she had gone over to see him. In one night he had changed. Now he looked so … tired.

That was when she had started to avoid Tai. She was angry. She could guess what he must have been saying to make Matt hurt so much. But it hurt that Matt wouldn't tell her. When she was being honest with herself, she knew that that was why she was angry. Still that was two weeks ago. Now Matt wasn't tired anymore. When she left him at the stairs of his flat she had been so scared. She had waited just a little to make sure he was ok. She heard him dragging himself up, whimpering at the pain. It had cost so much to go to work. But she had had to. Hadn't she? … But Matt hadn't. He had been on a tour, but still put it off. For her.

Sora's eyes began to overflow. She should have stayed! Should have told him how much she loved him, and that she would stay with him, like he had done for her. She would always stay with him. Her tears splashed down sadly onto the little blue envelope, smudging the swirly black lettering. But Sora didn't notice. She was lost, amidst the roses.
