A/N: Updates keep getting later and later… I'm so sorry guys. Many of you have sent me messages asking for me to please update. Here it is. Also, I went from 3 days of work to 5 days. My only off days are spent at Karate, and school as me up until 4 AM completing art projects every night. It's not fun and stressful. :/ I'll update when I can but I can't promise that it'll be soon. I feel like I can't catch a break here… AND! Havoc has been taken down as some of you have noticed. Some butt head was stealing it and posting it somewhere else as his own story. Let's see him finish it without me. ;P But anyway, here's chapter 10. :)

Chapter 10: Confession

That's right. Selphie was downstairs waiting on him. He needed to get this done now, Sora decided. He thought for a few moments, trying to gather how he would respond to her.

Sora sighed and quickly dressed while Riku and Roxas waited for him to finish quite impatiently. As he started for the door, Riku gave him a hard look. He didn't even have to say anything; Sora knew what he was getting at.

"I already know what I'm going to do." Sora said. Riku nodded, seeming pleased with this answer.

All three of the boys exited Sora's room and walked down the stairs. Selphie had made herself at home in the boys' living room, propping her feet up on the coffee table and flipping through Roxas's baby book. At their entry, she looked up at Roxas with a smirk. She seemed much more confident than she had the other day.

"You sure did have a big head as a baby. Good thing you grew into it."

Roxas's face turned red. "That's not funny! And get your filthy shoes off the table!" Roxas pushed her feet off before she could move them herself.

Selphie shrugged. "Just sayin'. You don't have to get so defensive."

Riku covered his mouth to keep from laughing.

Sora rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Are we here to talk about Roxas's big head or whatever it is you wanted to talk about?"

Selphie's face turned just as red as the first day she came inside to speak to him. She fiddled with her hands and nodded. All that confidence must have went out of the window. "Could we have some privacy? Please?" she said, speaking to Riku and Roxas.

Roxas immediately turned and left, Riku not far behind, but Sora knew Riku would be eavesdropping. Somewhere, somehow. The fucking sneak.

Sora took a seat next to her with about a foot between them and waited for her to start. He already knew where this was going and what his answer would be, but he didn't want to sound like an ass. So he kept waiting.

And waiting.

And waiting.

And waiting….

"Selphie, just-" Sora began, frustration in his voice, but Selphie quickly cut him off.

"I'm in love with you." She blurted out. She turned and faced him, her cheeks still red. "I've been in love with you since we were kids. You are the only guy I ever think about. All I've wanted to do is be your girlfriend. I just didn't know how to tell you." She paused and looked at the floor in shame. "I thought being Mika on WarScape would help me tell you. All it has done is made me more shy."

Sora bit his bottom lip. This was going to be more difficult than he thought. He hadn't realized Selphie felt this way. If he had, he could have nipped it at the bud before this had come about. Now he began to feel even more like a jerk.

"I just thought I could make you like me if you could see I like the same things you do. I can't keep waiting around though, Sora. I want us to be together!" She took his hands in hers, her eyes tearing up as she looked up at him. "I love you!"

He was speechless for a moment; his mouth had even dropped open a bit in sheer surprise. No girl had ever acted like that towards him. But this. This freaked him out and made him want to go running for the damn hills. This girl was crazy. Knowing this though, he knew he had to let her down gently.

After sitting quietly for a moment, Sora finally got his thoughts back together. He looked into her eyes and he began to speak.

"Selphie…" Sora felt his heart drop. He was about to break her heart. Sora was a nice guy; he never wanted to hurt anyone. At this moment, he felt like he was going to tear her world apart.

"Oh, Sora! Please say you love me too! That's all I've wanted to hear from you…." Selphie inched closer to him, almost as if she was getting ready to kiss him.

Sora bit his lip and pulled his hands from hers but kept her hands covered with his in a comforting way. "Selphie, I can't say that I love you. My heart belongs to someone else."

Tears began streaming down her cheeks almost immediately. "I knew it…" She snatched her hands from his.

"I'm sorry. I just don't feel the same way."

"It's her isn't it? It's always been Ariae!" Selphie's sadness had turned into anger in the blink of an eye. Sora flinched as her voice rose.

Before Sora could answer, Selphie stomped out of the room and out of the front door, slamming it behind her.

"Well that could not have gone any better. Good job Sora!" Riku said as he came out from his hiding spot on the stairs.

Sora just scratched the back of his head in thought. He hadn't wanted to hurt the girl's feelings, but he just didn't feel the same. If he was going to be serious about Kairi, then he was going to go at this one-hundred percent. But still… poor Selphie.

Roxas just sighed and shook his head. "She's hopeless and crazy. She'll be over it in a few days."

"You think so?" Sora asked. For some reason he highly doubted this. She seemed very honest about being in love with him for so long.

"Oh, yeah. Nothing keeps Selph down very long." Roxas nodded and headed upstairs. Sora wasn't so sure though.

"Where are you going?" Sora asked as Roxas quickly hopped up the steps.

"I got me a hot date on WarScape." He said with a wink.

"Well damn. Everyone's getting hooked up on some internet chicks but me." Riku said with a smile.
