Chapter Ten

Sora was waiting at their usual place, she was worried, he had sounded so nervous on the phone. She was stood waiting, when it started to rain.

"Oh great, that's a good start."

Matt was walking along the street how was he going to tell Sora that Anya was pregnant and he was going to stay with her, he found himself wanting to turn back. But it was too late before he knew it he was stood in front of Sora.

"Hey earth to Matt?"

"Sorry, Sora…I cant do this anymore."

Sora was taken aback, that was a bit sudden.

"What do you mean you cant do this anymore?"

Matt could see the hurt in Sora's eyes, the rain on her face and his was making this harder than he thought, but he ad started so he had to finish.

"This Sora, us. Things have changed, circumstances."

"Circumstances, what do you mean circumstances?"

Matt breathed in deep, and looked back into Sora's eyes, the hurt was turning to anger.

"Its Anya, things have changed, the circumstances."

Sora scoffed.

"In other words, she has said something."

"Sora its not like that, I do love you, you know I do."

He reached to touch her face, she took a step back.

"Don't touch me, I don't want you to lie to me anymore Matt, tell me why things have changed since this morning."

Matt really didn't want her to be mad at him, but maybe if she told him the reason then she would understand.

"Its Anya, she's pregnant."

Sora's heart sank to the floor, her eyes filling with tears, that's why circumstances had changed.

"Sora please say something."

"What is there to say Matt, she's pregnant and you doing the noble thing. But don't lie to me and tell me you love me."

"Sora I do love you…"

Sora cut him off.

"Matt if you loved me, you wouldn't be hurting me like this. If you really loved me you would have made your move before Tai, if you really loved me…you wouldn't have wasted all this time."

"Sora I…"

Sora walked up to Matt and looked him in the eyes.

"You'll make a great dad Matt, I just wish it was with me."

Matt took hold of Sora's hands, and held them tight.

"I wish it was with you to, and I am sorry I have put you through this I just hope we can be friends."

Sora laughed and pulled her hands from Matt's. The rain was falling harder, they were both soaking wet. Matt couldn't tell Sora's tears from the rain that was running down her face.

"You think we can be friends after this Matt, I love you far to much for that, looking at you would be to hard. I think that we might as well accept that from the moment we first kissed, being just friends was never going to be an option again. Deep down inside you knew that as well."

"Sora stop making this harder for me."

"Harder for you, I have broken Tai's heart because I thought I was going to be with you, I have done things I swore I would never do, how dare you say I am making this hard for you, of course I am making this hard for you!"

Matt hung his head, he was trying to hide the tears in his eyes, he didn't want to admit it but he knew that they could never be friends after everything they had experienced. And that she did have a right to make this hard for him.

"Sora, I just want you to know, I didn't choose this, if anything I wanted it to be you I was having this child with, not Anya. For pity's sake I was going to dump her this morning, and now, I am going to be a dad. This isn't what I wanted."

Sora could feel the frustration in his voice.

"I know Matt, I know, but its not, this is what's happening and we are over."

"Sora don't say it like that."

Sora got closer to Matt, she kissed him gently on the lips and pulled away.

"I think I should go, wounds to lick as they say. I love you Matt and I always will…good luck with fatherhood."

Sora turned and walked away the tears in her eyes falling faster and faster, she thought they were going to be celebrating being together officially, now she was crying after being ditched. All Matt could do was sit and watch as the one person he has ever loved walks away from him, Matt let the tears fall silently, he walked away in the opposite direction.

Neither Matt nor Sora had realised that they had been being watched by Anya, she was sat in a café across the street, watching as the events unfolded, she was silently smiling to herself.

Something wasn't as it seemed.
