"How long has this been going on?" Sora asked. "How long? Why? Did I do something wrong?"
Kairi began to cry.
"I'm sorry Sora. I was going to do the right thing and end it between us, but I didn't want to hurt you. I know how much you love me, and how strong your feelings are. I didn't want you to go off and kill yourself or something. It's been going on for a while now. I'm so sorry!"
She kept staring at the floor. She had picked up a robe off the floor when Riku had first entered, and covered herself with it.
"You think this is a better way to find out?" Sora asked with calmness so filled with rage it sent shivers up her spine. "Sorry I intruded. Please, go back to whatever it was that you two…" He couldn't even finish. Tears were starting to well up in his eyes.
He turned to leave. She's already broken your heart. Don't let her see you cry…
"Sora waits!" Kairi stammered. He had already crossed the room and opened the door. He stood there a moment in silence, door knob in his hand and the door open. He shook his head, and walked out. He pulled the door shut behind him with such force, the window to the right of it cracked and objects sitting on the sill hit the floor with a crash. He got in his car and drove off, never looking back.
He drove down to the beach, and went to a secluded spot he used to bring Kairi. He also came here from time to time to think; like he did now. There was a tree that bent in the middle just right, and the trunk curved upwards and made the perfect seat.
Sora leaned against the tree, and sat there thinking. So many questions flowed through his head. So many left unsolved. And that's the way that they would forever remain. He never wanted to see her again.
He stayed there so long, he lost track of time. The sky was growing dark, and clouds began to accumulate overhead. But still, he stayed.
It began to rain, and so Sora finally got up and headed home. When he got there, the light on his answering machine was blinking. He pressed the button. : Two new messages:
"Sora…":: Deleted: He never wanted to hear her voice again.
: Next message:
"Hi Sora, its mom..." Message skipped. End of messages. BEEP:
Sora didn't feel like talking to anyone right now. Usually, he would talk to Riku, but yeah. He threw himself facedown onto his bed. He let out all his tears and pain. He cried for hours. His whole life felt like it was being engulfed in darkness. Kairi was his light, and now, that light was gone. Kairi was gone. Forever.
He drifted off into sleep, but his dreams were nightmares filled with the painful thoughts and memories of the day.
A few days went by, and his life began to drift back into a some-what normal state. One day, he saw Riku, but he turned and began walking the other way, Riku had seen him first however, and started running to catch up with him.
"Hey, Sora. Wait up!" he shouted. Sora kept walking, ignoring his former friend.
"SORA!" Riku was next to him now, but still, Sora refused to acknowledge him.
"Look dude, I'm sorry. She said that she was through with you. She said she would take care of the break up and all that a while ago. And you know how I feel about her…" Riku pleaded.
Sora had enough. He balled his hands into tight fists. He turned and looked at Riku, and then delivered the hardest punch he had ever thrown. Even Riku's fast reflexes couldn't dodge it. Sora hit him hard square in the jaw, and there was the sound of bones cracking.
"You knew how I felt about her you shit head! I've been with her for 4 ½ years! Don't give me any of this bullshit. You're supposed to be my FRIEND you ass wipe! 'I should know how you feel about her'? FUCK YOU, YOU ASSHOLE! You took away the best thing I ever had. Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Throughout the whole thing, Sora had been going crazy on Riku. He was beating him with his fists, and had begun to kick him.
"Look, I had reasons!" shouted Riku, who was beginning to show the impact of Sore's blows.
"What the hell kind of reason could you have for taking away my happiness; my light?"
"I love you!"
