Chapter 9

We head over to the brightly lit lot, there were an assortment of different rides and booths, and the air filled with the smells of deep fried everything. I look over to Sora who is drooling, his eyes getting bigger. I walk over to get him a funnel cake, we share the sweet treat and try to ride all of the rides. We were having so much fun that we forget everything that had been worrying us.

"Oh hey Amara, what about the Ferris wheel?" I look to the right and see that the line isn't very long. I nodded and he grabs my hand and starts pulling me to the Ferris wheel. We get on the ride and I can hear my heart racing.

Once we're at the top, the ride shuts off and you can hear everyone panicking, but I don't feel scared at all being next to Sora. this was perfect and I never wanted this to end.

"Hey Sora..." I rest my head on his shoulder and the he rested his on top of mine. His fingers rushing over to grab my hand. "I don't think I ever want to forget this moment."

"Who would want to?" I hear him say, smiling. Off in the distance you can hear a bell ringing to signify it's midnight. Sora lifted up and pulled my chin over to face him. This was what I wanted... him, Sora. I loved him so much and I know he loves me. So what stopping me from being with him forever? Sora began to close the space between us. His lips drawing closer, my heart connecting with his.

"Wait..." I whispered, and pulled back. His eyes open and I felt the tears running down my face.

"What wrong?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows. He reached up to wipe a tear and I pulled away once more. I turned my body away from him, and the lights flicked back on and the ride began to move again.

I can't be with him. Once we fix this the worlds will be disconnected and I'll never see Sora again. I find it better to hurt now than later. We get off the ride and head back to our hotel. I climb into my bed and faced away from him.

He was quiet for a while then I heard shuffling next to me. He pulled the blanket off of me and laid next to me. "Amara, can we talk about what happened?"

I roll over to look at him his face close to mine. "This isn't right, you know?" I felt my tears roll down my cheek and he smiled at me.

"We talked about this." He pushed back a strand of hair.

"And we'll end up having this conversation over and over, until there is a solution. Once we save the worlds, they're going to be disconnected again and we won't be together." I hiccuped at the thought of never seeing Sora again.

"Stupid." He chuckled. "We will always find a way. Our hearts are connected. I thought this was because of Kairi." He smiled placing the palm of his hand on my cheek. " I love you Amara."

My heart skipped and his hands were warm. "I love you Sora. I just... want... you..." He pulled me in close and held me until I fell asleep.
