You guys…don't know how much your reviews mean to me! (Haha…did anyone notice that I wrote the accounts downwards so it would take more room? --…Heh…I'm pathetic…)
LET THE PAIRING LIVE ON! Roxas and Kairi!
And on with the story…
You & Me
Chapter 4: A Web of Lies
To put it simply…
I was afraid.
I knew that if I heard the rest of this tape, my feelings about everything would change…
What if I started hating Sora? What if what Selphie was saying is true? What if…what if the only relationship I had ever had was a complete and utter…lie?
Lies, lies, lies! Was that all what our relationship was built up on? A web of lies? I couldn't believe that. I refuse to believe that. There had to be an explanation for all of this…
I told myself to breathe, a very simple command to most, but when put in my situation, it became somewhat more difficult.
Riku reached for the recorder. "Maybe we shouldn't listen to this, Kairi-"
I held my hand up and shook my head; they were speaking again.
-"Sora, of course, I do. He's…"- The female voice began to whisper softly… as if to herself. –"…He's my best friend, he's my protector, he's…he's Roxas…"-
I repeated her words in my head.
"He's my best friend, he's my protector…"
And suddenly I thought, what was he to ME?
"…He's…he's Roxas…"
Well, he's…this one guy I met at the ice cream shop…
It was in that moment I began to comprehend our relationship, our rather nonexistent relationship.
-"But that doesn't-"- Sora's voice was cut off.
-"Tell me, Sora. Do you love Kairi?"- Naminé's voice was imploring and at the same time accusing.
My mind was racing. DID he love me? We never really talked about stuff like this…our relationship was simple…simple and clean…
I held my breath as I waited for his reply.
-"…Kairi…she was the first girl I had ever been interested with. She's the only one who ever really talked to me."- Sora laughed without humor. –"I would be lying if I said I didn't love her, Naminé."-
I relaxed slightly. He loved me… I hated the fact that I was speaking in past tense.
-"…She's MY best friend…"
He sounded so sure. It hurt to hear him. It's like he didn't know what was going to occur only weeks after this conversation. He probably didn't…
Naminé spoke with regret and remorse. –"You're going to have to leave her, you know…"-
My eyes widened. W-wait…What?
-"I know."-
What was going on here?
-"You'll have to leave Roxas, too…"
They PLANNED our BREAK-UP…TOGETHER!
Ok, now that, I wasn't expecting.
-"I-I know…"-
The tape began to fill with static.
-"Nev-fzzz-for-shwzz-her."
-"I-fffsshhwwwzzz."
The tape suddenly stopped; I was left staring.
It was about half past midnight when I left the ice cream shop, which was SUPPOSED to close at 9, but hey, when a girl needs her ice cream then by God, she will get her darned ice cream.
I felt half drunk as I walked down the sidewalk.
Just out of curiosity, can you get drunk off of ice cream?
Well, I wasn't really thinking clearly as I stumbled off the concrete sidewalk and strolled, more like tripped, down the street with my flip flops in hand.
The streetlights were blurred in my view and the stars seemed brighter tonight. Or was that the streetlights?
I don't recall.
There were no cars on the roads that night, maybe because it was a Monday…or was it a Tuesday? Whatever day it was, it was probably the reason why I wasn't getting run over or honked at by a car.
A dog barked from behind me and I spun around, only to trip and fall on my bottom.
I tried standing up, but eventually found that I couldn't and just lay there staring blankly at the direction where I heard the barking.
"Kairi?"
I barely acknowledged the familiarity of the voice as I attempted to nod my head.
"What are you doing on the ground?"
Without answering I looked down. For some reason, I couldn't place the voice with a name or a person, but I felt who it was, if that made any sense at all.
I knew it was him.
When you love someone, like I did him. You would know these things.
"Kairi-"
"I fell."
My reply was blunt, but I didn't care. I just didn't care anymore. Maybe I was tired…yeah that was it…I was tired.
"Well, I assumed something of the sort had happened. You have always been a clumsy one…"
I tilted my gaze upward so I can look at him fully.
"And you have always been one to assume things…Sora…"
He laughed awkwardly. I knew he was trying to lighten the mood that I had just made uncomfortable.
Sora was always the one to do so.
And then, I suddenly felt bad for making him feel so ill at ease. But at least I told the truth…At least I told the truth.
"Do you need some help up?" He asked with a crooked grin as he held out his hand out to me.
Staring at it for a while, I came up with a conclusion.
I didn't want to get up.
So without warning I grabbed his hand and roughly pulled it down. He let out a slight yelp and fell to the floor with a thump.
I suddenly felt loads better.
His face was scrunched up in pain. "THAT HURT!"
I lay back with my arms under my head and gazed at the streetlight stars. "Did it really?"
He nodded with a pout.
I had a half crazed grin on my face as I replied, "Good."
His blue eyes glared at me.
I scoffed and closed my eyes to stop the world from spinning. "You pansy."
The brunette growled. His pride had always been a priority. "Who you calling a pansy?"
"The guy who can't take a hit from his ex-girlfriend."
Sora looked away after I said this. I didn't take it back. I probably would've any other day. But on this particular one, I was drunk on ice cream, and in my mind, he deserved it.
"Kairi…about that…There's something I need to tell you…"
I wanted to laugh. Something he needed to tell me? Hmm…did it have to do with the tape I just listened to hours before? Most likely…
"That guy you were with…Roxas…"
For some reason, I got mad when he said his name. I don't know why, but I just didn't like it.
"You mean…your new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend?"
He winced inwardly at my bitter sarcastic remark.
"What about him?"
"I…well…he…Naminé and I-"
"Naminé and you…"
He didn't say anything so I answered for him.
"What, huh? Oh, wait, I know. You two were seeing each other before we broke up, am I right?"
His eyes widened.
"AND…let's see…you and her PLANNED OUR BREAKUP TOGETHER?"
"No, you don't under-"
"Selphie saw you two at Castle Oblivion! SHE RECORDED YOU TWO SPEAKING IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM!"
"Kairi! Listen to me!"
I disregarded his complaint and glared menacingly at him. "I HEARD EVERYTHING!"
And then with my voice broke as well as the rest of me. "G-god, Sora. I…I heard everything…"
"Oh, Kairi…"
I tried not to cry. I told myself not to cry. I wouldn't show any weaknesses in front of him, not like I used to.
"Why couldn't you just let me be? Why did I have to see you again? I would have been fine…if I hadn't seen you…I would've been fine…"
I cursed as I felt my cheeks getting wet with hot tears.
His cerulean eyes dimmed. "Kairi, please, you don't know the truth…"
"The truth?" My voice cracked in disbelief. "You…mean there's more?"
He nodded wearily.
"W-what else could've happened!" I was panicking. "No. NO! No more, please. I can't…I can't take it…I just couldn't…no more."
My gaze was pleading as I looked into his eyes.
He shook his head. "You need to know this. You need to understand."
I tried covering my ears with my hands. I should've known that such a thing would've been useless.
"Kairi, Naminé and I…"
"Stop…stop…stop."
"We're…" He paused and took a breath.
"We're getting married."
A/N: Dude, I think I'm getting good at the whole cliffhanger thing. You think?
Well just for the 411, all of the characters are in college, 19, 20, and 21, in that range.
