The Love is still There
Chapter 1: Too Deep of a Cut
Conner was walking around Reefside, seeing that the city that he grew up in didn't change much. Except for a few buildings added, but other than that, it was like how he remembered it before he left for good. After building his soccer camps for the kids, he finally made it on the Reefside Wave and finally achieved his childhood dream. However, he still felt empty. He found Hayley's Cyberspace and saw that it was still open. He walked in and saw Hayley hard at work. "Hey, Hayley," he greeted. Hayley looked up with a smile.
"Hey, Conner," she greeted.
Conner removed his baseball cap and sunglasses as he sat at the bar. "It's good to see you again," she commented.
"Same here, Hayley. So anything new around here?" He asked.
"Nothing much, just the same old stuff," she replied.
Conner nodded his head slowly. "So how have you been holding up? Ethan told me about your and Kira's divorce," Hayley commented.
"Doing great. Besides, mine and Kira's divorce was over two years ago. I'm totally over it," he answered.
Hayley smiled as she went to take another order. Conner watched her go and inclined his head as he thought about his and Kira's messy divorcetwo years ago. "Oh man," he whispered.
"Glad to see that I'm not the only one who still comes to visit," a familiar voice commented.
Conner turned in his chair to see Ethan standing there. "Hey, Ethan," he greeted. Ethan sat next to him.
"So, how's the super soccer star player doing?" Ethan asked.
"Doing great. What about your technology development?" Conner answered with another question.
"Going great."
Conner nodded his head slowly. "Have you heard from…" Conner trailed off. Ethan shook his head.
"Haven't heard from Kira in months," he replied.
"Glad to see that I'm not the only one she's ignoring."
"Well, we stopped talking because she accused me of being on your side with the whole thing when I have no idea what happened."
Conner rubbed the back of his neck. "Read in some magazines that she met this new guy," Ethan commented.
"Yeah…read something about that too," Conner answered.
Ethan saw the off look on Conner's face as he mentioned it. "You're still into her," Ethan pointed out.
"What? No way," Conner objected.
"Yeah right. I can see it in your face."
"Dude knock it off. I'm not into Kira anymore. We got divorced end of story," Conner mumbled.
"Just because you breakup with someone or divorce someone doesn't mean the feelings aren't there," a voice commented.
Conner and Ethan looked over to see Tommy standing there with his arm wrapped around a woman's shoulders. "Hey, Dr. Oliver," Ethan greeted.
"It's Tommy now, you guys aren't my students anymore," Tommy pointed out.
"Right, hey Kimberly, how's it going?" Conner asked.
"Going strong," Kimberly replied.
Conner and Ethan stood up and they sat down at a table. "What did you mean by what you said?" Conner asked.
"Trust me, Conner. I've been in your shoes not with a divorce but with a messy breakup," Tommy replied.
Kimberly explained the whole letter thing to the two young men. "Just because Kimberly and I broke up the feelings were still there," Tommy put in when Kimberly finished. Conner sat back.
"It's not easy now you guys. Man, I really blew it with her. I haven't heard from her in two years. The only way I would be able to know if she's okay is through magazines," Conner pointed out.
Kimberly looked at Conner with a quizzical look. "What happened that made the divorce so messy?" She asked. The former Red Dino Ranger shook his head.
"You guys really don't want to know and I really don't want to talk about it especially when the wound still runs deep," Conner replied.
They nodded and Conner let out a sigh. He rubbed his forehead trying to think of what to do. "What made you come back here to Reefside?" Ethan asked. Conner shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, to find answers I guess. To find out what really that day that made me lose everything…" Conner trailed off.
Conner let out a sigh and Kimberly patted his arm to try to comfort him. Conner shook his head slightly. "I'll catch you guys later. I'll be in town for the next couple of weeks so we'll catch up then," Conner informed.
"See ya," Ethan answered.
They watched as Conner left the cyber café and they all hoped that Conner would find the answers he was looking for.
Conner came to a soccer field and unzipped the duffle he had brought with him. He started kicking the soccer ball around and found himself starting to think back of what happened that made him lose Kira forever to where he couldn't even move on without the pain hitting him. She blamed him and he didn't blame her, because he blamed himself.
At the Reefside Airport, the famous Kira Ford got off her plane with the guy beside her. "You sure you want to perform here?" He asked. Kira placed her sunglasses over her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm only here for a week, I can handle it," she replied.
She then went towards baggage claim to gather her things, not knowing that her ex-husband was there as well looking for the same thing she was.
