DESTINY HIGH: CHAPTER 3
Author's Note: OK, so, I had an original idea, but I realized I saw the similar idea in another fic, SO, last night, I came up with an idea when my asshole of a father yelled at me…Yeah, so, enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned these characters, they'd be doing my laundry, cleaning my house, and writing this fic THEMSELVES! But I don't…cheap ass Disney…..
Destiny High: Chapter 3: Truthful Love
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
On Sunday evening, my Mom and I were invited to go to a family friend's house, for a dinner. My father left when I was young, and I never knew much about him, nor do I remember a lot about him.
At the dinner, I was with our friend's daughter, Aerith, and we were joking, and playing around, as she was only a few months younger than me. But then, we were playing around in the living room, talking, and joking, when we bumped into the fireplace, and Aerith's mother's vase fell and broke
"It was an accident, I swear!" Aerith explained to her mom
I stood there, watching Aerith explain. Eventually, her mom came over smiling
"Well, that vase had a good run; I was going to sell it anyways. Well, we'll be seeing you" she said as we left
When we reached home, my mom slammed the door
"That was your entire fault!" she said darkly
I looked at her
"W-What do you mean?" I asked, I was quite scared, she was scaring me
"The vase falling, it was your entire fault, and when you make a mistake in front of other people, it's a reflection of my parenting" she said, moving towards me, her hand twitching
I looked at her, I was about to cry, she was scaring me a lot
"And when I look bad, it's not very good Sora. You're not a little child anymore, when it was cute if something bad happens, now, it has consequences" Mom said darkly
She raised her hand, and slapped me……The rest was a blur, but when I woke up, the house was dark, cold, quiet; Mom had gone to sleep….
I tried to get up, but it hurt….My arms were bruised and cut, my face was sore, like it was hit by a brick, my back ached, and I went up to the mirror to look at my reflection.
I was scarred on my arms, legs and face, cuts everywhere. I took a look at my back, t was red, and cut……
That night, I cried myself to sleep……

I didn't go to school on Monday, I faked being sick, which my mother bought, thankfully, but when I returned to school on Tuesday, was when I knew it would be tough.
I walked into the school, to see kids everywhere, chatting; gossiping, the usual, and then I saw Riku talking with Kairi. I walked up to them, trying to smile…I couldn't
"Morning..." I said, trying to be cheerful
"Morning Sora, feeling bett….er…" Riku said, turning to me, I assumed he saw the scars on my face
"What happened to you?!" he asked, getting up and hugging me softly
"I-It was nothing, I…Just fell…." I said, trying to hide my hurt
"Sora, you did not fall!" he said, looking at me right in my eyes "Tell me what happened!" he said
I shook my head
"No, it's alright, c'mon, we'll be late for class" I said as the bell went
I could feel Riku looking at my back as I walked down the hall…..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After school, Riku walked me home, Kairi left with the Naminé girl, again.
"Sora, what happened to you over the weekend?" Riku asked me, as we turned around a corner, which led to my house.
"Nothing, really Riku" I said, trying to sound casual, it didn't work, as he kept pestering me about it
"Look, Riku," I said, "I'll tell you when I'm ready"
Riku hesitated, then smiled
"Alright, anything for my little Sora-chan" he chuckled, bringing me close to him
I laughed
"Thanks Riku" I smiled
We walked into my house, and I saw her….
My mom was sitting on the couch, with tea in her hand; she didn't even look up when she said it
"Sora, what happened on Sunday night is just a warning, it'll be much worse if it happens again" she said, looking up, and seeing Riku
"Oh dear! Er, Hello Riku!" she smiled falsely
Riku glared at her
I stood still; I could feel my eyes watering
Riku grabbed my hand, and we ran up to stairs, and into my room, and Riku let me sit on my bed, and he looked at me
"Sora, now's the time for you to tell me" he said, staring into my eyes
I took a deep breath, and told Riku what happened on Sunday night, I cried at some parts…
When I was done explaining, Riku was silent, his head bowing, I couldn't see his face
"Riku?" I started
Riku looked up, a serious expression on his face
"Sora, I want you to stay with me, at all times, as much as you can, now excuse me for a moment" he said, getting up, and walking out
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After a while, Riku still hadn't come back, and I heard police cars come up to the house.
I suddenly became frightened, what if she did the same thing to Riku as she did to me?!
I ran down the stairs, to see a woman in a white dress, being accompanied by two cops
"Mrs. Alana Hikari, you are under arrest for child cruelty, and abusing your child, on a case that your child clearly has not done" the woman in white said
I watched my mother being taken away, but instead of sadness, I felt relief….
Riku watched her leave too, and I glanced at him
"Riku…Thank You..." I said, bounding down the rest of the stairs, hugging him
"Sora, I will always be here for you, no matter what" Riku said, running his fingers through my hair
"Thanks Riku…" I said, as I stared into his deep blue eyes…….
