The inside of a broken heart
This chapter gets really deep, maybe the deepest of all of them. I'm currently working on Chapter 6. It's going to be the halloween dance and the costume shopping. ... If you read down you'll understand what I'm talking about.
"Now remember, no strangers in the house, don't leave the stove on and make sure all the doors are locked," Kagami's mother lectured. Kagami rolled her eyes.
"Mom, I've stayed home alone before, it should be fine. Plus Kai and Nam are here," she said. Her mom raised an eyebrow at the two new names
"Kairi and Namine," Kagami explained. She gave her mother a kiss
"Bye!" Kagami, Kairi and Namine waved and Kagami watched as her mom drove off.
"Did you really knee Xemnas?" Kairi asked after a moment of silence. Kagami nodded and sat them down at the table to tell them the whole story
What happened:
Kagami was in the locker room, putting her books away. She smiled as a strong hand landed on her shoulder.
"Hey Riku, I was think-," she paused and turned around. Xemnas was there smirking at her.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly, throwing his hand off her shoulder. Xemnas stuck his arms on both sides of her and reached in to kiss her. Kagami moved her head in time so that he kissed the lockers. His hands moved down on her stomach.
"Get off!" she said, squirming around. But before his hands got any further then her waist, she did the first thing that came to mind – kneed him in the most vulnerable spot. He immediately let go and sank to the ground, his face contorted in pain.
"The next time I tell you to get off me, you better listen asshole," she said, walking away.
"You BITCH!" he screamed after her.
End
Kairi started to laugh hysterically.
"Holy shit that's the funniest thing I've heard forever!" she said tears spilling out of her eyes. Namine helped her control.
"Hey Kai?" Kagami asked.
"Yeah?" Kairi asked, wiping her eyes.
"Why do you always get so freaked out around Xemnas?" she asked. Namine cast a quick look at Kairi. Kairi's originally happy face turned sad.
"We'd better go to your room for this one," she said, leading everyone to Kagami's room. She sat them down on the floor. Kairi took a deep breath.
"I first came to the school when I was in sixth grade. I met Xemnas and thought he was really nice and hot, but I knew I was too young to start dating. When I entered eighth grade, though, Xemnas had gotten his license and asked me out on a date. Of course, I was really happy that there could be someone in the school who liked me and wanted to take me places. During our third date, he took me to a movie and he always kept trying to get in my shirt or pants or something," she explained. Tears rolled down the girls cheeks.
"I was sick and tired of it and I wanted him to drive me home and he apologized and agreed. But we didn't go to my house. We went to his. I was wrestling but since he was stronger then I was it was a losing battle. He locked the door to his room so there was no way I could get out. Actually he jammed it. Then he ripped off my shirt and forced himself on me. It hurt so much I actually passed out. I found myself on the side of the road (with all my clothes on, thank god) and abandoned. I was scared and I didn't know what to do. So I walked to Namine's house. She lent me a pregnancy test because at the time her mom was pregnant with Namine's little brother. It turned out negative, but since then I've been scared to get close to a guy, even Sora," she explained, tears dripping on her shirt. Kagami sat there stunned and then gave Kairi a hug, Namine following just behind.
"Then I guess there's something you guys should know, too," Kagami said.
"When I lived in Twilight Town, there was a boy named Seifer there. He was exactly my age and we had the exact same birthday. We grew up together so it was inevitable that we would fall in love. But then he started to hit me. He gave me bruises on my arms and legs. No one knew but me and him. Every time he would apologize and say he wasn't in his right mind. I would have to use makeup to cover the bruises. One day though he hit me so hard I wanted my life to end. So I took a knife, and I cut myself," Kagami said, crying just as much as Kairi. She rolled up her sleeves to show a long scar on her wrist.
"I used to do it often. I felt like if I was hurting the thing on the outside, it would kill me in the inside. It didn't work. My mom eventually found out that I was cutting myself and I was sent to counseling. I still do go, every Tuesday. That's why I'm scared to go any further with Riku," she said. They all sat in silence for what seemed like hours.
"Well that's our greatest secrets revealed," Kairi said weakly, trying to make a joke. They all laughed nervously.
"Hey Nam, truth or dare?" Kagami asked. Namine smiled.
"Dare," she said. Kairi and Kagami exchanged glances.
"I dare you to make out with Kag's pillow," Kairi said. Namine had a pained look on her face but did as she was dared. It was actually funny, the three of them were rolling on the floor laughing.
"So gross, yet so entertaining," Kairi said as Namine sat back down.
"Kairi, truth or dare?" Namine asked.
All night, till about midnight they played truth or dare or just sat and talked.
"Let's go to bed," Kairi suggested as she changed into her pink pajama pants and her white camisole.
"Yeah," Kagami said, flicking open her Ipod after she changed.
"I thought we were going to bed," Namine said, slipping on her white night dress.
"We are, I just listen to my Ipod to go to sleep," she said.
"Night," Kairi said as she flicked off the light and fell into bed. The three of them laid there, squished up in Kagami's bed until they all fell asleep.
(line break)
In the morning, Kairi and Namine woke up to Kagami singing to songs from High School Musical©.
"WOW! Kag, you have an amazing voice!" she cried. Kagami blushed.
"Not really…" she said.
"We have the Halloween Dance in October. This year, we get to actually have it on Halloween. They're always looking for people to sing for the best costume dance," Namine said. Kagami looked at her.
"Best costume dance?" she asked, confused.
"Yeah, the guy and the girl who has the best costume always get to dance together," Kairi squealed.
"And then in December, there's homecoming. Then there's homecoming queen and king. There are always four nominees for homecoming queen and four for homecoming king. First the have a dance between homecoming king and queen, then they have a dance between all the nominees, and then there's a slow dance for everyone," Namine said. Kagami smiled.
"That's so awesome. How about we all shop for our costumes together?" Kagami said. They all nodded and went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. The hours passed, and Kagami's mother came home. Kairi and Namine said bye and the usually see you tomorrow. Kagami barely ate dinner and she flopped herself onto bed.
"That would be sooo cool, if I got best costume," she said.
"The classic prince and princess always looks good," she said, pulling up some costumes on the internet.
"OMIGOD!" Kagami cried, looking at this one costume in the store in the mall nearby. The prince costume was absolutely stunning and the princess's costume was gorgeous. Kagami dived for the phone and called the store, seeing if they had her's and Riku's sizes. She was in luck. Kagami asked them to hold it for her and she would come at the beginning of October to pick it up. Kagami quickly made a calendar to start counting the days until she picked it up.
'25 more days' Kagami thought excitedly as she shut down her laptop. She quickly took a shower and fell asleep
