CHARACTERS

Sora is the main character, which isn't a change from the game(s). He's about eighteen/nineteen and like you will see in the beginning: very lazy. But when he finds out about .. Kairi, that relaxed attitude he has changes to perplexed, frightened, worry, and even angry. He's confused about everything that's ever happened in his life. He's scared that things might never go back to the "simple and clean" days. He's nervous that Kairi might never go back to the women he fell – and still is – in love with. And he's pissed off more than ever at himself for not protecting her from the rapist, and not simply 'fixing' her. So when he yells / is hurtful to people, it's not because of them – it's because of him and his feelings. So please, when this story progresses, don't get angry with him.. Just like in the game, he's an emotional basket case, and now, in my story also.

Kairi is – obviously – a very important character since the story wouldn't be my story without her. She's just turned eighteen, and is just a hysterical, distant, depressed wreck. But, what you must remember, is that when someone is usually raped – they're like this; and because I want this story to be as real as possible, I'm am purposely changing her to be like this. What you must pay attention to, when it comes to her, is her strength and the faith she has to build from basically scratch.

Riku is also one of my minions for this story, and he is obviously going to be nineteen/twenty – more towards the twenty side if anything. Uhhm.. I really don't know what to say. He's very deep, very troubled, and very.. vindictive like in the games. He's been suppressing these memories – possibly even forgot about them like Kairi, haven't decided yet – but as you will soon see in the first chapter, Sora brings up one without knowing and it makes Riku very emotional/angry. But he is not the rapist by any means, and he is certainly not evil. I beg of you to think otherwise.

Selphie has the smallest role compared to the other three; eighteen, bla bla bla .. Basically, she's acting like Kairi's protective mother and can't stand Sora because of reasons that will be mentioned later it the story.

Tidus, Wakka, and Sora's Mother will have very small roles if any in this story because it doesn't revolve around them – it revolves about the three best friends who have been to hell and back together. This is their journey. This is their story. And like I've mentioned before, this will not change like how the game(s) have been created to tell.

And yes, the rapist will be mentioned – but at the very end.

SETTING

It's basically just present day Destiny Island, but more of small town-ish atmosphere since the islands seem to be like an isolated place. The island they're living on is the island where Sora is laying in his room the night of the storm in KH1. Because if you remember correctly, when he looks outside his window, he's staring at the island where we spared with everybody and made the raft. Hence, the name Destiny Islands. Oh, and this is set after KH1, KH:CoM, and KH2 (and possibly KH3 if one is to be made).

PREMISE

I can describe it in five words that shouldn't need much of an explanation: Love. Trust. Friendship. Hope. Faith. .. But, the one thing this story revolves around most is Truth, and whether it's better to know it than live in bliss of lies. Once this story is completed, I would absolutely love it if you answered this question – and only this question - for me: If you knew a Truth that would cause a pain that could not be soothed, would you change? Your opinions would mean a great deal to me.

INSPIRATION

This storyline struck me while I listened to Lindsay Lohan's Confessions of a Broken Heart, and I started (and finished) the ending of it, but I somehow couldn't complete it. A few weeks later (meaning today and last night), I began listening to other songs like it and finally finished the first chapter. Nothing in my story has changed from my original idea except the title. First, it was Confessions on the Bathroom Wall because.. I don't know. It sounded cool to me. Then: Confessions in the Music Store because that's where Sora and Riku work and I wanted to go with a theme of music. But now it is what it is because.. Well, you'll have to find out later when Kairi finally talks to

Sora. :)

DEDICATION

Taylor for making me listen to Lindsay's song. God for giving me the inspiration. My Dad for shutting off the Internet so I was forced to write this. Zanisha for staying up late and giving her honest opinion of my chapter and storyline.

LAST AND FINAL NOTE

I'm not going to lie.. This story will only continue as long as I get reviews. I want to know that people are actually reading my story, and how they feel about every process I make the characters go through. I promise on the Bible, every person in my family's grave so help me God that I will update once a week (unless someone a) dies or b) I simply don't get enough reviews. I'll be willing to keep my end of the bargain if you want to keep up yours. And – because I am just so nice – we can start this little deal after Jan first. Mmk?

Thank you for reading this. I really appreciate it, and I hope you have a fabulous day.

Thanks lovers.

Mwah.
