Chapter 2- Things Over Heard
-Sora's POV-
It was Friday afternoon; I was supposed to meet up with Kairi to hang out for a while. I got everything needed and headed out. Everything was perfect; nothing was going wrong in life. The little coffee shop came into view. I noticed Kairi sitting with someone, it was Namine. 'Hum, Namine must have run into Kairi, so they decided to talk for a bit until I show up.' I thought. I was just about to go over to them, until I started to overhear their conversation, so instead I hid behind the pillar by their table.
"So what are your plans after high school, Kai?" Namine asked.
"Um, not quite sure yet. I know I want to travel a bit, then probably go to a community collage before heading out to go to a university." Kairi replied. (A/N: that's exactly what I want to do afterwards! Oh and if i become a writer,defiantly going to publish Dear Diary and Dear Diary 2! woot!)
"That sounds cool."
"What about you Nam, anything you've got planned?"
"Well I'm going to head off to a community collage when school season starts up again, that way I can be close to Cloud still, then when his school ends for him, he's going to go with me to school."
"Aw, that's sweet that you two have everything planned out." I heard Kairi say.
"Have you ever wondered what it would be like not to have Sora in your life?" Namine said.
"All the time." My heart skipped a beat when I heard her say that.
"What have you thought about?"
"Like, where would my life be without Sora? I've thought of how my happiness would be different. I could easily be laughing more, I could be doing more with my life. My world could be so much better…" That was it; I didn't want to hear anymore of it. I decided it would be best if I went home to think things through.
-Kairi's POV-
I was supposed to meeting Sora after school at a little coffee shop, when Namine was walking by. She decided to wait with me until Sora showed up. We began to have a conversation about what life would be like after school. We both told each other our plans, until Namine asked me a strange question.
"Have you ever wondered what it would be like not to have Sora in your life?" Namine said.
"All the time." Despite how badly I hated thinking about it, it was true.
"What have you thought about?" Nam asked me. I took a deep breath.
"Like, where would my life be without Sora? I've thought of how my happiness would be different. I could easily be laughing more, I could be doing more with my life. My world could be so much better…" I stalled for a bit.
"Wow, that's kind of harsh…"
"You didn't let me finish though." I told her.
"Sorry, go ahead."
"My life would be dual without Sora. My happiness wouldn't be as great as it is now. I could easily be crying more, I couldn't be doing all this with my life. My world would be so pointless. I'm the way I am because of Sora. Without Sora… well, I would be lost." I said.
"Aw Kairi." Namine smiled. I smiled back. "Have you ever told him that? About how happy he makes you?"
"No, but I was going to today. Speaking of telling him, where is he?" I asked looking around.
"Call him." Namine suggested.
"Okay." I got my cell phone out of my pocket and called Sora up. It rang a couple of times but he never picked up. "Hum, I guess he left it at home or something."
"That's weird, I got to get going home though Kai. I'll see you later." Namine got up and hugged me.
"Bye Nam." I waved goodbye as she headed down the street. I sat there, looking at the passing cars and the people walking by. Sora never showed up, so I decided to go home. I didn't hear from Sora.
Saturday came; it was pretty crazy how the first week of school already went by. It was kind of overwhelming actually. I was laying on my bed in my room, drawing random things, which I got into the habit of thanks to Namine, when I glanced up at my calendar. "Oh crap, it's the second already!" I said out loud.
I jumped off of my bed. I had to buy something for Sora for our anniversary (A/N: woah, that's kind of weird, it was just Kairi's and Sora's anniversary in Dear Diary 2 lol) But what to get a guy? I grabbed my wallet and stuck it in my back pocket and put my cell in my front pocket.
"Bye mom, I'm going out." I called from the door.
"Okay. Be careful!" She replied. I walked out the door. I walked down the street towards the busiest part of town. I looked through every window as I passed by. Out of no where my phone rang. I jumped and fumbled through my pockets trying to find it. Passerby's were looking at me funny.
"Uh hello?" I asked still a little jumpy.
"Kairi?" Sora said.
"Are you okay Sora?" I asked. He sure didn't sound like the cheerful Sora I know. He was stalling for a couple seconds.
"Meet me at Pebble Beach." He said and then hung up the phone. I stared at it before closing it and putting it back in my pocket. My heart was about to drop. I looked up and headed to Pebble Beach. Maybe Sora was going to get me something early for our anniversary.
-Sora's POV-
It was the day after I heard Kairi and Namine's conversation at the café. My mind was crowded with thoughts. I started to realize how much time Kairi and me spent together. Where would we be if we weren't together? Would she be happier? Would Kairi get further in life without me? Was I holding her back from accomplishing any dreams that she had? 'Maybe we should break up I want her to soar in life. I don't want to hold her back anymore. I love her, but I have to do this.' I told myself as I picked up the phone and dialed her cell phone.
"Uh hello?" She answered. My heart shattered when I heard her voice.
"Kairi." I said quietly.
"Are you okay Sora?" I wanted to just turn back and say 'just called to say hi' but if I ended up having her miss out on something great in life, then I would regret it for the rest of my life. I took a deep breath.
"Meet me at Pebble Beach." I said hanging up the phone. I headed out. When I got there, I noticed she hadn't arrived yet. I stood by the shore and lowered my head in shame. I was about to hurt the one true person I loved and cared for the most. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Kairi; I took a hold of her hand and looked at her. I could tell she was worried. She took her other hand and placed it on my cheek. I leaned in towards it and took my other hand and placed it on the hand she had on my check.
"Kairi…" I said quietly. I could see her already breaking down inside, which was killing me. "I'm sorry."
"Sora… what are you talking about?" She choked. I could tell she was trying to hold her pain inside.
"I love you, but we've been spending too much time together. Maybe we need to see what's out there before this relationship continues anymore." I said. Kairi just stood there with a blank expression on her face. "I'm sorry Kairi." I hugged her, but she just stood there. I let go and walked off with my head low and my hands in my pockets.
I was pissed off at myself. She probably hates me now. Well, we're still friends. At least, I was hoping so. I went home and sat at the edge of my bed. I let out a deep sigh. I looked at my wall. The pictures of Kairi and me from when we were younger and from last year were hung side by side. My eyes started to blur with tears. I punched my pillow in frustration. I was furious with myself.
-Kairi's POV-
"Kairi…" He said quietly when I met up with him at Pebble Beach. My stomach turned into a black pit when he said my name. I just looked at him. "I'm sorry."
"Sora…. what are you talking about?" I tired to sound calm, but it was so hard.
"I love you, but we've been spending too much time together. Maybe we need to see what's out there before this relationship continues anymore." I stood in shock. I didn't want to believe he was breaking up with me. "I'm sorry Kairi." Sora hugged me while I just stood there staring out at the ocean. He let go and walked away. I watched him disappear. I fell onto the sand crying. I pulled out my cell phone and noticed my background picture. It was of Sora and me. I busted into tears as I called Namine.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Namine! Sora j-j-just b-broke up w-ith me." I said through my tears.
"Oh my gosh, Kairi! Where are you?" Nam sounded panicked.
"Pebble Beach." I tired to hold my sniffling back.
"Stay there, I'll be there in a little bit." She hung up. I closed my phone and tired to hide my tears. Not long after, Namine ran up behind me. "Kairi!" I stood up and we hugged. I explained what happened. We decided to walk around to clear my mind. We ended up at the beach where all of us used to hang out when we were younger. I saw the bent Paopu tree. We walked over to it and sat down its bent trunk. I dazed out into the darkening sky before going into a flashback.
--
I was walking across the sandy shore when I was just seven years old. I saw all the other kids running around with their friends. It was the summer before fourth grade. Most of the kids running around were from school. I looked up to see someone sitting on the bent Paopu tree on the mini-island. He went to my school, but I just didn't know him. I walked to the shack and went upstairs to the pier that led to the mini-island. I walked across it quietly. The boy turned around when I reached the island. 'Wow' He had spiky brown hair, cute sky blue eyes. He jumped off the tree and walked up to me. He was just a tad taller then me.
"Hi, I'm Sora." He said confidently.
"Hi, I'm Kairi." I said shyly. He gave a small laugh.
"That's a cool name."
"Same with yours." We smiled at each other. We hung out from there on. And for me it was love at first sight. Okay a crush really. I didn't know what love was then.
--
I told Nam how we met. She seemed very interested in hear it. Before I knew it, it was sunset.
"Thanks Nam." I said hugging her. "I'll stick around here for a bit."
"Okay. Bye Kai." I watched her walk home. I jumped off of the tree and walked to the waterfall. Then I noticed a lot of vines hanging by it off in the corner. 'Oh my gosh, I forgot about the secret cave.' I looked around to make sure no one was around before I slipped inside.
-Sora's POV-
I ended up calling Cloud. He told me that he understood completely. He would do the same for Namine if it bugged him. He told me that if I was truly missing Kairi, that I should just say sorry and ask her out again. I just said yeah but that was of course easier said then done. I called up Riku right after and he told me the same thing. I sighed. He said he would round up everyone and meet me at Ocean View.
When I arrived, everyone was waiting for me, well obviously not Kairi. Man, I sure did miss her. I also noticed that Namine wasn't there.
"Where's Nam?" I asked Cloud.
"She's with Kairi." He replied. I sat down on the sand, Indian style and rested my elbows on my knees. I made fists with my hands and rested my chin on them. Tidus, Selphie, Wakka, Kelly, Riku and Cloud sat next to me.
"How about you just wait to see if she talks to you about it?" Selphie suggested. I looked at her and sighed.
"I guess I could try that." I said. We sat there until it got dark. Everyone tired to keep my mind off of Kairi, it just wasn't working. Cloud's cell phone rang. He answered it.
"Hello?" He said. We all just looked at him. He continued talking on the phone. After a couple of minutes he hung up.
"Who was that?" Riku asked.
"Namine. We came up with an idea to secretly try to get Sora and Kairi back together. Namine and I think we should all go out to lunch tomorrow. Sora, you'll show up with everyone else, and Namine and I will meet Kairi at Charlie's. We'll all 'accidentally' run into each other." Cloud explained.
"That works," Wakka said. I nodded. Out of no where Lily showed up. She sat down next to us.
"Sora?" She said. I just stared at the stars.
"Him and Kairi just broke up." Kelly said to her.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry." Lily replied. I shrugged maintaining my stare. "I was wondering if you could help me get together with Leon, but seeing that you just went through a break up, you don't have to." I looked at her, kind of shocked to hear that she liked Leon. He was my buddy after all, I figured I could do someone a favor, maybe it'd help me get my mind off of Kairi for short periods of time.
"I guess I could help. Come to lunch with us at Charlie's tomorrow." I said. "Guys, I'm going to get going. Meet me at the corner of Charlie's about noon. Later." With that said, I walked home and went to bed.
