*A week after where we last left off...*
Sora opened her eyes and blinked a couple times. She looked at her alarm clock beside her bed. 6:58 AM. And what day was it? Thursday? Yeah, probably. She turned her alarm off before it could ring, which it would in about two minutes. She slowly sat up. She felt lightheaded. Sora stood up and stretched, losing her balance in the process. She got dressed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Sora was feeling really weak. Was she comming down with something. Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she saw big, dark bags under her eyes, and noticed that her face was even paler than usual. Sora frown and decided to weigh herself. She hadn't done so in about a week. 113 pounds!? Had she really lost that much weight!? She bent down for a closer look and fell over. "Dammit!" she muttered. Mrs. Takenouchi knocked at the bathroom door.
"Sora...is everything ok?" she asked in a concerned tone.
"Fine, Mom." Sora replied weakly. She got up a brushed her teeth. When she was done she grabbed her school bag and headed for the door. "Bye, Mom. I'm leaving early today..." But her mother stopped her.
"Sora, I need to talk to you..." she said. Oh no...here it comes... thought Sora. "Sit down, dear. There's no rush." Sora sighed and sat down at the kitchen table with her mother. "Have you been skipping meals lately?" Mrs. Takenouchi inquired. Sora didn't reply. "Sora, answer me." her mom pushed on.
"Umm...why would you ask a thing like that?!" Sora asked, with a nervous laugh.
"Well, you've been leaving for school without breakfast, and you always try to avoid supper...and you always pick at it and hardly eat a thing!? And something tells me you're not eating lunch either. What's going on?" Once again, Sora had no reply for her mother. "Sora, talk to me." Her mother continued. "I know something's wrong. Are you unhappy with your body?" Still no reply from the redhead. Mom sighed. "Sora, you need help, and if you're not going to talk to me, then...well...I'm going to take you to the doctor. You don't look good right now...you look sick. Do you feel ok?" Sora was having a very hard time holding back the tears that burned in her eyes. She got up and ran to the door. She left her apartment and dashed for the stairs running all the way down to the lobby and out of the building towards Tai. After a block or two, she ran straight into his arms. There, she collapsed.
"Sora..." Tai said startled, looking down at her. He glanced at Matt who was right beside him.
"Hi?" Matt said. Then he and Tai realized that Sora was unconcious.
"Tai! What are we going to do?" Matt yelled.
"I don't know?" Tai said.
"Come on you're the brave, and fearless leader! You have to know what to do!" Matt snapped.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking! O.k. what did we learn in health class if someone collapses? "I know, Matt go to the pay phone and call for an ambulance, then call Ms. Takenouchi where we are!" Tai yelled. After a few minutes Ms. Takenouchi along as the ambulance arrived.
"Matt, Tai.I would like to thank you for all your help. You can come over to the hospital after school, in the meantime you two better get to school you don't want to be late." With a wave of her hand the ambulance left with Ms. Takenouchi, and Sora inside.
"That was so scary man, we were just walking down the street when Sora practically tackles you, then passes out." Matt calmly stated. "If we weren't here, who knows what could have happened!"
"Yeah, I know. I'm just glad we were here. I don't want to think about what could have happened."
---------*******-------------------*******-------------------*******-------- --- ~*~During last period~*~
Tai couldn't concentrate at all during his classes that day. Twice he'd been yelled at for "day dreaming", and he didn't even realize it when his science teacher popped a surprise quiz on the class, and got a baseball in the head during gym class. Finally, it was last period. He couldn't wait to get out of there and get to the hospital to see Sora! He knew he was way behind on his English assignment, but he didn't care! Finally, that last bell rang and the teacher dismissed the class.
(A/N -you may have noticed that there are only four periods. Well, for those of you that don't know, in high school, the year is divided up into semesters and you have four classes each day per semester!)
Tai dashed out the door and to his locker. He grabbed what he needed and threw in what he didn't need, slammed the door, locked it, and flew down the hall and out the school. He ran two blocks, then finally slowed to a speed walk the rest of the hospital. Him and Matt were gonna go together but Tai didn't care. He wanted to go on his own to see Sora.
---------*******-------------------*******-------------------*******-------- --- ~*~In Sora's hospital room~*~
Sora fluttered her eyes open. She guessed it was sometime late in the afternoon. How long had she slept since her mom had left her? Sora knew from her mother that she had collapsed in to Tai's arms and fainted on the way to school. She remembered running very fast and hard that morning, towards Tai's apartment. Then she had seen him and Matt on their way to picking her up. She was weak as it was and running the way she had been must have been to much and she fainted. Sora still wouldn't admit that she had a probalem. But she knew she did...anorexia. She hadn't officially been diagnosed by a doctor. But Sora knew what it was and knew she had it. But she couldn't help herself. She sighed. She was feeling awful. Then all of the sudden, Tai burst into the room.
"Tai!" she was startled.
"Sora!" he ran to her bedside. "Are you ok?!" He asked "Do you know what happened to you this morning?"
"Yes..." Sora replied, looking down.
"Well, are you ok!? Hello!? Oh my God...Sora...you look...sick...are you sick? Is that it? Is that what's been wrong with you lately?!"
"You might say that..."
"What do you mean"
"Nevermind."
"Tell me!!"
"Forget it! So, how are you? Does Matt miss me?" she forced a smile.
"Stop trying to change the subject, this is serious." Tai was getting frusterated now. "How are you feeling."
Sora sighed. "Tired, weak, lightheaded..." she said slowly. Tai frowned with concern.
"You're so pale..." he said touching her cheek gently.
Sora laughed. "I'm always pale!"
"Well, even more so than usual!" Tai said in a feisty tone. And when he saw the look on Sora's face, his expression softened and he appologized. Sora smiled at him.
"I'm hungry..." she said without realizing. Tai stared at her with out saying anything for a moment. Then he said:
"Why...haven't you eaten today? Or should I say, in the last week?!"
Sora gasped. Tears stung her eyes. Everyone was catching onto her.
"I didn't mean to say that..." she whispered.
"I'll bet you didn't!" Tai snapped. Sora looked up at him, with tears in her eyes, but behind that, he could see the anger.
"I know I have a problem." she said coldly. "But you don't have to be so insensitive!" A tear rolled down her cheek now. "I'm realizing now how bad it is, and I think I'm going to get help...they haven't diagnosed me or anything, because I haven't told them anything, but I know that I'm anorexic. And even though I may get help, I don't think it's gonna work that easily."
Tai felt really bad, and even though he was pretty strong, he was almost on the verge of tears himself. But he fought it back. "Sora..." he started. "I don't mean to come off as insensitive...hell, that's the last thing I'm being. I care about you so much, like, you're my best friend...do you think I wanna see you like this? Do you think it doesn't hurt me?! I want to help you!"
"I can't stop myself!" Sora was crying hard now. Tai reached for a kleenex and handed it to her. She wiped some tears and blew her nose. Tai gave her a hug.
"I'm here for you, ya know..." he said.
"I know." Sora whispered with a smile. But her smile quickly faded. "You know what, Tai?"
"Nope. What?"
"I...I really like Matt...like, I mean, he's my really good friend, and he's really cute...but...but...I'm not sure I want him as more than a friend. I mean, I know how many girls would kill for one date with the Super-sexy-golden-blonde-deep-blue-eyed-rebel-rockstar-Ishida, but, there's someone else...another guy that I think of as more than a friend...well, like, I mean I reeeeeeally like him!" she confessed.
Tai smiled and winked at her. "Who's the lucky guy?" he said with a playful nudge.
Sora giggled. "Well...I'm not 100% sure he feels the same. Like you know he might. But he's a great guy. He's soooooooo cool. Charming, sweet...not to mention...veeeeeeeerrrrry attractive...he's pretty hot stuff..."
Who could she be talking about? Tai couldn't stand the suspense! "And who may I ask, is this dude?"
"Um...I feel really weird saying this...like...oh what the hell!" she paused.
Tai was grinning ear to ear now. "Well, or you gonna tell me or what?!" he cried.
Sora smiled too. Then she sighed playfully. "Ok, if I must!" she said. Tai smiled even more. Sora sucked in a deep breath. "I...I like you, Tai...honestly."
"REALLY?!" Tai boomed, not even hiding his happiness with a cool, casual tone. Sora laughed out loud for the first time in a while. "You think I'm pretty hot stuff?" He asked, still smiling. Sora blushed and nodded. Tai was grinning so much that Sora said:
"You have that biggest smile on your face that I've ever seen! You're mouth is gonna be permenately stretched!" They both laughed. Then, Tai did something unexpected. He leaned over and kissed the redhead on the lips. She kissed back. Tai suddenly felt awkward and embarassed.
"I'd better get going...Kari will be on my back for being late and not calling." He said this almost in a whisper.
"Oh...ok then..." said a very disappointed Sora.
Tai felt bad. "Call me later..." he said. "Or if you're gonna be home tonight, I can call you."
"I think I'll be out of here around five or so."
"Ok then, I'll call you around six!"
"Don't forget!" she called as he left her room.
Tai made his way to the street, still smiling. Now he knew how much he cared for Sora!
