Chapter Eleven
Sora had made her way home and had locked herself in her room. The tears were still streaming down her face, she ignored her mothers pleas to tell her what was wrong. Her mother felt so helpless.
Sora stared blankly at her desk, her face was stained with the memories of her tears. She had finally stopped crying, there was nothing else to cry. She felt as though her body had been drained of every ounce of moisture, moisture of which she cried.
As she got up from her bed, she noticed a picture on her bedside table. It was a picture of herself, Tai and Matt, they all looked so happy, the picture was taken before everything became so complicated. Before she felt the way she did for Matt, and before she broke Tai's heart. In a fit of anger she picked up the picture and threw it at her bedroom door, the glass of the frame smashed into tiny pieces. She got up and walked over to her window and looked as the rain fell. Tonight she lost the love of her life, and the best friend she ever had, but she knew, she knew there was turning back.
Meanwhile Matt had just arrived home, his eyes full of hidden hurt and sadness, he knew he would cry for the loss of Sora's love, but he had to wait until he was alone. He took off his shoes and coat, he walked into the bathroom and grabbed a towel so he could dry his hair, he walked into his room with his head to the floor, he didn't notice the figure sitting on his bed.
"You went and saw her didn't you?"
Matt looked up, with a shocked expression on his face, he turned his light on and saw that Anya was sitting on his bed, staring out of his window. Matt walked over to his window and drew his curtains, and sat at his desk, and said nothing.
"Why did you do it?"
Matt looked at Anya, his eyes filling with tears, tears he wasn't going to let fall.
"You know why Anya, you know why."
Anya stood up and made her way towards his bedroom door.
"No matter how much you tell me you love me, I know I am not the one that has your heart, but you haven't just got to think of me now, you've got the baby."
Anya turned to walk away.
"Anya, I know that there is the baby now, that's why I ended it with Sora, I know where I need to be, and what I need to do."
Anya turned to face Matt, she had the biggest smile on her face, Matt was now standing at his desk, looking at Anya.
Anya ran over to Matt and wrapped her arms around him, at first he hesitated, but then he gingerly wrapped his arms around her, she squeezed tight, her eyes filling with tears.
"I know, I know you will learn to love me, I can feel it."
Matt stared towards his desk, on his desk was the same picture that had been on Sora's bedside table. He focused on Sora's smiling face, he knew deep down inside he would never learn to love anyone else, at least not the way he loved Sora. No-one could ever take her place in his heart.
"I know you don't mean to hurt me Matt, I know you would never do anything to hurt me or the baby…we're going to make such a good family, I can just know it."
Matt was trying hard not to let the tears fall. He knew what he had said to Anya, he knew the promises he made to her, the promises he couldn't break. But there was something inside him that was willing to break all of them, if it meant he could be with Sora. Anya released herself from Matt, and smiled widely at him, Matt returned the smile with his own reassuring smile.
"I had better go home, I need to rest, I will see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure."
"See you then."
Anya leant in and kissed Matt on the lips, wanting him to respond, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Anya accepted the fact and pulled away and smiled again, and walked out of the room and out of the apartment.
Matt stood in his room, he felt like the loneliest person in the world. He felt himself wanting something he knew he could no longer have. He turned to look back at the photograph on his desk. He knew that things had changed between the three of them forever, the betrayal between friends is something hard to forgive. He knew neither Tai or Sora would forgive him for what he had put them through. These thoughts flew through his head, causing him to lose the control he had on the tears he was hiding, silently he fell to the floor, the tears escaping.
Anya was walking down the street, she had the same big smile on her face, she couldn't believe how well it was all falling together, he didn't suspect a thing, and the best part, he had broken up with Sora.
Although Matt and Sora thought that they had hidden their relationship well, from the very moment Anya had met Sora she noticed the way that both Matt and Sora looked at each other, from that moment she knew she would be fighting to keep him. And in her mind, being pregnant was the ideal sealer of fate. She knew Matt hadn't meant to hurt her but the fact was he had, and she was going to make him pay, and to do that she was going to trap him into a very one sided relationship. Using a pregnancy as a lure.
The fact was, she was pregnant…but no-one said the baby was Matt's, except Anya.
