A/N: I want to start typing this chapter right now, so I'll get the fourth chapter up sooner for all you guys that reviewed. Means so much to me!

Chapter 2- Weak Knees

A young girl climbed down the ladder that adorned vines wrapping around it bearing several white and purple flowers. She gingerly stepped down, trying not to stomp on one of the beautiful flowers. When the tip of her slippers touched the ground, she jumped with a small thud and a strong pair of arms wrapped around her petite waist. "Careful there, we don't want you to fall and ruin your beautiful face, now do we?" the owner of the arms said with a tint of playfulness in his baritone voice. She just laughed in return and started to walk out of her backyard. She slightly opened the gate of the wooden fence and a slight creak was heard, but she continued to open it slowly. They both cautiously strolled out making as little noise as possible.

The two best friends have been walking for ten minutes in a comfortable silence that only the best of friends could have. "So where are we going," the girl asked breaking the silence.

"Downtown to see my cousin, he's the only one that'll do it for us without a parent's signature," he answered her, but seemed like he was thinking about something else. He continued to look at the moon, and his face shone slightly letting the girl see his bright azure eyes glisten from the moonlight. She always loved to just stare at his eyes without a reason; it would always just mesmerize her about how the way it could change colors according what her best friend was feeling. Right now it was very light with a hue of silver in them, which meant that he was happy and she was glad that he was. She grabbed his hand, and wrapped it around her smaller ones into his bigger hands, and started to swing it back and forth. "So, Mr. Rockstar, who's you're new girlfriend I saw you making out with in the hallway today?" she implied with a bit of sadness in her voice that she tried to hide.

"She was no one…" he replied.

"She didn't seem like no one," she continued, "You know the way that you guys were groping each other there."

He ran his fingers through his unruly blonde hair and sighed, "Can we not talk about her, please?" he pleaded.

"Whatever, but I don't see why you're always don't seem to talk about your girlfriends with me. I am your best friend in the first place, you can tell me anything," she pointed out with laughter in her voice. She loved to play with his head all the time, and he would just join in with the banter with her… but not this time.

He stopped in his tracks and looked down, "I told you I didn't want to talk about it!" he said through gritted teeth that made her turn around and stare at him.

"I didn't mean…" she responded to his sudden motion, but was interrupted by his yelling.

"You're always nagging me about my new girlfriends, and I'm sick of it! You should just shut the fuck up already about it. I don't even see why you talk to me about it, there's nothing wrong with me having a girlfriend. Why don't you get a boyfriend, huh?" he roared, tightening the grip on her hands. She winced and instinctively squirmed out of his grasp. She held her right hand with her other hand carefully, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you like that." she apologized. She stared into his now dark blue eyes, and felt scared. She didn't know why he was acting like this, but he's been like this for a while now. She walked ahead of him, just to let him have some time to himself. She was ready to cry, but not in front of him. She wiped the little tears that escaped her eyes. When she heard light stomping of feet behind her she quickened her pace.

The blonde just stared at her retreating back, and he calmed down. He has been acting like a bastard lately. It was the stress's fault that plays with his mind, and he's been taking it all out on her. He hated to see her upset, so he ran after her. He noticed the she was walking faster, but he still caught her. He grabbed her arm, and embraced her. "I'm sorry for acting like a jerk lately," he whispered into her ear and hugged her tighter. She returned the hug, "I'm sorry too for being a nagging bitch. Come on, let's go before it's morning and our parents find out we ran away." She grabbed his hand again, and they both made their way downtown. "So, what are you going to get?" he asked her with curiosity.

"I really thought of getting a cute one, like a butterfly," she explained.

(Sunday)

"Shut the hell up!" she moaned as she rolled around and banged the sleep button on her alarm clock. When the clock fell silent she tried to go back to sleep, but it was no use. She was all ready awake, and there was no use trying to go back to sleep. She roughly pushed the comforter off of her, and dragged herself out of bed. She walked into the bathroom, and the first thing she did was looked in the mirror. The first thing that caught her eye was the goddamn tattoo of hers. She should have had that removed a long time ago especially when her parents saw it for the first time. "But if you chose to do this, you're going to live with this." Her parents same exact words ringed in her head. Walking to the closet, she grabbed a towel and started the water in the large bathtub. She took the bubble bottle that stood next to the bathtub and poured almost the whole thing in the flowing water. She watched bubbles forming slowly until the tub was completely full and the bubbles were at least ten inches high. She started to shed her pajamas off, and met a chill of coldness on her tanned smooth skin. She dipped a foot into the water and when she was pleased with the temperature, she jumped into the hot bubbly water slowly until she was underwater with only her head dry. She laid her head on the pillow she made out of the soft fluffy pillow and relaxed. She just wanted to forget all of her problems and fall into a deep sleep. She was about to when the sound of her cell phone interrupted her. She sighed annoyed and snatched the phone that laid right next to her. She looked at the ID and in big bold black letters read MIMI. She smiled slightly, and pressed the OK button. "Hello!" she said.

Hey, Sora! When she heard the pitchy screech she had to keep the phone far away.

"Hey, Mimi."

"I was just calling to see if you're busy today?"

"No I am not, and may I ask why?"

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the mall with me and some other people who I still have to ask. But I'm sure that Maria, Kari, and Tai is coming with. Maybe not Maria?"

"Yeah, I'll be able to come."

"Okay, I'll pick you up around 2-ish?"

"That's fine, I'll see you then!"

"Ciao, baby!"

"Bye!" She hanged up, and looked at the clock on her cell. '12:00. Good, at least I have some time to relax,' she thought to herself, and fell asleep.

She opened her large closet, and tried on what to wear today. She agree to wear tight dark jeans that showed off her figure and a brown long-sleeved shirt that showed off her cleavage but put on a laced white tank underneath it. She also put brown cowboy shoes and long dangling golden earrings that she had to wear and her charm bracelet. She looked at her clock on the nightstand next to her giant king-sized bed and it read 1:56 PM. 'Mimi should be picking me up soon.' She grabbed her big Coach bag, and waited next to the window for them to arrive, and they arrived a minute later. When she heard honking, she ran outside and saw Mimi's car with Kari, T.K, Tai… and Matt in it all cramped up together in her small car. She herself had to make an effort to fit. "I told you, Mimi, that we should have taken my car!" grunted Matt as Sora accidentally stepped on his foot trying to sit down. She sat right next to the blonde cause there was no more room anywhere. She crossed her arms and huffed in discomfort, and off they went.

Mimi was singing with the radio that was playing "Stick wit u" by the Pussycat Dolls (not mine) and was pretty good, but turned the radio off when she already parked in the parking lot of Odaiba Mall. They all got off the car, and walked towards the front door.

"Okay, so we're going to shop with me, and then keep on shopping until your legs feel like they're going to fall off!" giggled Mimi, even though she was serious. Everyone else looked at her like she was crazy, but Mimi still was serious. Sora decided to step up, "Why don't we go shopping together for an hour, then separate, and maybe meet up at the food court?" she suggested. The guys sighed behind Mimi's back, who was considering the idea, "Sure why not?" she shrugged, "First, we're going there!" she pointed to a store with American Eagle (not mine) on the top of the entrance. Before anyone said anything, Mimi was already skipping her way there.

'This is going to be a long day!' everyone said to themselves as they followed her.

Mimi skipped to the food court with Kari and Sora tagging along behind her. They saw the guys sitting down, looking like they were waiting for them. They ran over to them, and said hi, "How long have you guys been waiting?" Sora asked.

"An hour, maybe?" Tai sighed, "What took you so long?"

"Guess…" Kari muttered looking at the pink-haired girl who was carrying ten bags with each hand.

"Oh," Tai droned, "Well, let's eat!" he said as he got up and ran over to the closest food place.

Sora opened her door, and let everyone in. They all decided to hang out at her place after eating when Tai mentioned that he never saw her new place, and Sora suggested that they should come over after the mall. It took awhile to get Mimi out of her second home, but after thirty minutes, they got into the car.

"WOW! This is your house?" Kari gasped when she saw Sora's huge home that looked like a mansion. They dropped their belongings at her foyer that was the size of a small room, and showed them to her living room. They all stared in awe at the red painted walls with gold accents, and the matching furniture set and a huge television and a great sound system. Sora walked to her TV and turned it on MTV (not mine). "Umm… sit down and I'll get you guys something to drink or eat? Why don't we order food or something? You guys want Dominoes (not mine)?" she rubbed her arm, and picked up the phone that laid on the coffee table. Everyone nodded in agreement still in awe from not seeing a house as big as this. Well, Matt and TK's house is also big that they could afford because of Matt's band and Mimi's house because she was rich like that, but not huge big like this house. She dialed the phone number to the pizza place, and placed her order. "They'll be here in thirty minutes. What do you guys want to do?" Sora asked her new friends.

"You have nail polish or something, I broke my nail carrying all that stuff," Mimi said, holding up her right hand showing the broken nail.

"Yeah, I'll get you all the colors I have and I can also bring you a nail file or something?" and she made her way up the stairs.

Now that Sora was gone, "So, what do you think of this house? I mean it's huge, even bigger than mine!" Mimi exclaimed.

"How is this girl rich enough for this? I mean I haven't even seen her parents, and she never even talked about them with us at all." Kari pointed out.

"I don't know, why don't we ask her," Mimi said as she looked over at the stairs where Sora was now climbing down them carrying a box of something.

"Here's the stuff, I just carry them all in this box." Sora said as she handed the red box to Mimi, who opened it and looked at all the different colors and brands of nail polish. "OH THE MOTHERLOAD!" Mimi shrieked happily, as she grabbed a light pink nail polish bottle and started to paint her nails, "So, Sora, where's your parents?" she asked while paying attention to her task.

"I live with my aunt and uncle, but they're always at business trips so I basically live by myself. They'll be back in a month though, but right now they're somewhere in Europe doing something for their company." Sora explained.

"Which means you can have a party!" Tai exclaimed jumping up from his seat.

"NO, my aunt and uncle so won't let me do that. And trust me, they find a way."

"Fine, whatever you say!" Tai shrugged, "Hey what time is it?"

Sora looked at the clock, "6:46 PM."

"SHIT! I have to go, my relatives are coming today and I have to help my mom get ready for it." Tai panicked.

"That's today!" Kari yelled as she got up and walked to the door with her older brother, "Wait, we need a car ride. MIMI!"

"Coming… bye Sora!" Mimi waved as everyone followed her since she was the only ride, "See you tomorrow at school."

(Monday)

Sora walked with Mimi to the gym where Mimi was suppose to have her cheerleading practice, "So, I'll see you later?" Sora said.

"Yeah, I'll meet you at the front door, and we'll hang out at my house." Mimi said back.

"Sure, okay I got to go. Bye!" Sora waved goodbye and walked to the tennis courts to her important practice that will see if she deserves a spot at the tennis team. She walked along the dirt path and passed the soccer field where she stopped to watch the soccer team play, especially Tai. She heard the whistle blow, and all the guys marched to the bench and grabbed all their stuff. She saw that the big-bushed boy saw her because he was walking over to her. "Hey!" he greeted from the other side of the metal fence.

"Hey!" she greeted back, "So how was practice?"

"Great, I scored two points! So what are you doing her?"

"I have a tennis try-outs to see if I can join the team."

"That's cool. I'll watch you after I take a shower cause you know how much I love to see you play."

"Yup, I'll see you later before I'm late."

"Bye."

"See ya later!" she waved goodbye, "Hey, you want to hang out after school with me and Mimi at her house? You can invite anyone you want?"

"Yeah, I'll see you…"

"At the front door."

"Okay, see ya!"

"Bye." And off she went to the tennis courts that were right next to the soccer field. She opened the fence door and walked to the bleachers to put her stuff there where she spotted Mimi and the red head guy from her seventh period class where he sits right next to Mimi at their table. But Mimi should be at her cheerleading practice? "Hey, Mimi, aren't you suppose to be at your practice?" she asked her.

"Yeah, but I decided to skip it since I can and decided to hang out with Koushiro here who said that he was writing an article for the paper about the tennis team, and I knew you were going to be here so I said why not?" she explained.

"I see. Okay, I got to go and try out."

"Good luck!" Sora joined the team that was grouped in the middle of the court. "Girls, this is Sora, the new girl that I was telling you about. And she wants to join the team, and I'm going to let her if she beats someone from the team," the coach said, "Who's going to volunteer to go against Sora?" Sora looked around to see anyone who was going to volunteer, and she started to get worried when no one was volunteering until some girl at the back stepped forward, "I'll go against her," the brown long haired girl volunteered.

"Are you sure, Lola? I mean, you're the best out of the team, and I don't want her to have a disadvantage."

"Miss Anna, if this girl wants to join our team, she has to be good enough to beat me." Lola interrupted.

"I still don't think…" Miss Anna was going to say, but Sora butted in. Not to be rude, but she wanted to beat this girl cause she just loves challenges, and she wanted to beat this Lola real bad. "I'll go against Lola. It really doesn't matter to me."

"Are you sure?" Miss Anna asked again really sounding worried. Sora just nodded and grabbed her blue and purple racket and two yellow tennis with her to one side of the court. She bounced one of the balls with the palm of her hand and she looked at her opponent who was watching the ball carefully. She threw it up in the air and hit it with all her force and it flew to her opponent and she hit it with ease and it bounced back to Sora who hit it. The ball just bounced back and forth for five minutes with grunts and sighs from both of them until Lola missed the ball when Sora hit it to the front next to the next.

It's been an hour and a half, and the game is now tied with 40-40 with both having winning 3 games. Whoever wins the next point wins the whole thing, and Sora knew it's going to be no matter what. It was the other girl's serve, and she hit the ball with a grunt and Sora swore there was smoke following the tennis ball. Sora hit it with a little bit of difficulty since the ball was too fast. It bounced to Lola and then to Sora and then Lola and then Sora and then Lola and then Sora… It was high, but Sora was going to ger it. Sora got into the position right where the ball was going to land so she could hit it back to her. She jumped and swung her racket back and hit the ball that bounced and landed right in front of the net. But Lola knew what was happening… she was already running to it before Sora hit it with her racket and now let the ball bounce to her side to her left behind Sora. Sora ran to it, and dove to get it…

I sat down on the bleachers to watch Tai practice for his big game on Friday, which I'm going to be at, actually I'll be driving him there and mostly everyone else too. I tucked my hands into my hoodie pockets and let it warm. The whistle ringed from the Coach when Tai scored a point, and practice was over. "Good job, guys! We'll win championships for sure, so practice more and we'll win without a problem. Now you can go home and rest." The team started to walk to the locker rooms after grabbing their stuff. I watched as Tai walked over to where I was. He climbed up the bleachers and sat next to me. "Hey, what you doing here?" he asked as he kept on looking at the field.

"I'm suppose to be picking you up, remember?" I said, "Go take a shower, and we'll go."

"Don't need to, I'll just take a shower at home."

"But you stink of sweat."

"You don't care."

"Yeah, I do!"

"Oh well!" he said and started to walk to the parking lots. I sighed and followed him. We walked on the pathway, and passed the tennis courts but when we saw that it was occupied we stopped to see what was going on. "Hey, Sora's playing!" Tai said to me.

"Yeah, I can see." I said without a care.

"Let's watch. We'll just stay here til her practice is over." I knew when Tai made up his mind, there's no point of trying to make him think otherwise. I pushed a piece of blonde hair that was on my face and was pretty much irrating me. I sighed again, and just watched. "40-40" I heard Miss Anna say, "Whoever scores next wins!" I was staring to get interested. I watched Lola serve with what seems with all of her force. It bounced to Sora, then her, and then Sora and than her and then Sora… when it was getting to Sora's side it was really high. She jumped and hit it letting it land right next to the net. She was smiling knowing that she won the game, but Lola was already there and hit the ball going to the left behind Sora. Sora ran towards the ball and dove to get it.

A scream was heard through the whole court. I watched as everyone did, and looked at Sora wondering what is happening. She was sitting down holding her right knee. "Damn!" I muttered. I ran to her with Tai and I saw that Mimi was there with Koushiro. "Are you okay?" Mimi asked worried. Sora didn't answer her, she was just whimpering and trying not to cry even thought it seemed the pain was unbearable. I kneeled next to her, and she looked at me surprised, "Not again," I whispered, "How bad does it hurt?"

"Real bad," she said.

"Let me see." She carefully uncovered her knee and let me see that her knee was now purple and black with a big bump that must be her bone that is now really misplaced. Also there was a white spot that was covered with blood. I knew that a part of her skin peeled away when her knee skimmed through the floor and was now revealing a part of her bone. "You have to go to the hospital for this." I told her. She just nodded. I picked her up, and letting her wrap her arms around my neck and place her head on the crook of my neck. I quickly walked to my car with Tai, Mimi, and Koushiro behind me. I opened the back door and laid her down. I opened the driver's seat while Tai went to the passengers. I turned on the engine, and zoomed to the hospital.

I ran with Koushiro to his car so we could follow Matt and Tai with Sora. I quickly hopped inside and he immediately turned on the engine. We were off in a quickie, and we should be at the hospital in half an hour. I just completely forgot that I'm in a car… with Koushiro- you know the guy I've had a complete crush on since eighth grade but was afraid to say anything. "What do you think is wrong with her-Sora I mean," he began.

"I don't know, but something's going on with her knee. You know, the way she was grabbing it. But I couldn't see cause Matt was all over her, and grabbed her before I could do anything about it." I said back, and we continued the conversation.

A/N: Okay that's chapter two! The way this is going, I think I'll just put seven chapters since I kind of smallerize the story when I combined chapter one and two together to make the fixed version of chapter one. I'm already starting to write chapter three and I'll get it by the end of the week, and the new fourth chapter by next week… maybe also this week but I'm not sure.

You guys are the best… especially the reviewers. You don't know how much it really means to me to read your reviews.

Review please about anything you think about this chapter or any advices on the next chapter.

Love always,
