Why? Why is it always like this…I'm fine they don't understand, I've been brought to an inch of life before. This was nothing; just messy…Sora thought as Riku gently tugged off Sora shirt, reveling bruises, scars and scrapes that covered his whole body. It didn't hurt any more; pain was just a word to Sora now. Nothing can physically hurt him, well make him feel pain.

"Sora…Who did this to you? And don't say it was you, those are way too detailed and they are in spots you can't reach." Riku looked in Sora's eye seaching for something that he wouldn't get.

"I just fall a lot, it's nothing don't worry!" Sora smiled, with his body looking like a torn up rag doll he smiled. It was empty though, Riku could tell that Sora was not happy or feeling ok.

Just then the nurse walked in, "Oh boys what on earth happened!" She looked from Riku to Sora. "Here let me do it, I'm trained." She said as she took the bandages and wrapped Sora up. "There! Now tell me how you got all those." She said sternly.

Sora laughed a little putting his good arm behind his head, "I fell that's all. I have to get going to class they most likely are looking for me!" Sora darted out off the nurse's office so fast the Riku was stunned.

Sora…I can't help if you won't say what's wrong. I may be the sexiest thing alive, but I'm no mind reader. Riku thought to him self, running out after Sora.

Sora had made it out of school; the day was almost done anyway. His last period was free study which they didn't care if you came or not. So he figured he go early to his job. On the days Sora didn't go to the O.C.C.T, he had a job of a waiter at the local bar. Odd place for a teen, but his mom pulled strings for him to get the job. She has told his boss "God damn, You can work him to his last breath, so long as he's out of my hair." Sora was right there when she said this too. It wasn't so bad, he made good tips and the work was fairly easy. Just that he was always picked on by the others, and sexually harassed by the guests. It didn't matter, Sora was never meant to live in the first place so why not die working? Sora always told himself that and just pushed though what ever lay ahead.

"One Cooler, three Buds, a large bowl of popcorn too while your at it!" Said Chuck a regular at the bar. He was sitting with three of his friends, as they all watched the big screen T.V that shown porn on it. "Ohhhh I wish I could get some of that!" Chuck said as he rubbed his hands in the air.

Sora rushed to the back and started making the drinks, once that was done he got a large bowl and filled it with popcorn. 2:55 School just got out, only seven more hours to go here. I wonder how Riku is? I did just sort of run off. Sora looked at his bandaged arm, it didn't hurt anymore. He then wonder why he thought of Riku.

Sora walked back out and set the drinks and popcorn down, as he did one of Chuck's friends grabbed his ass. "Hey Chuck! I bet this one is just as good as the screen!" He said trying to pull Sora closer, his breath reeked of alcohol and his eyes were swaying about.

"No! I would just mess up! Now I have others to take orders from!" Sora squeaked frighten as he ran off. Just as he made it behind the counter he saw a pair of aquamarine eyes staring at him.

"Hello Sora." Riku said seductively, as he took a seat in the bar.

Shit, Shit shit shit shit! Sora thought as he looked at Riku, No one knew he worked here well at least not from school any way. He could get in big trouble if Riku told. "Hi…" was all he could say before Chuck shouted for refills on his drink. "Umm Be right back, sorry…" Sora scooted over and bent down, grabbing more glasses. He filled them up and walked over to Chuck.

"Good boy! You do remember! I bet that you would, and Gerris here thought you'd fuck up!" Chuck said as he patted Sora hard one the back. Gerris just gave an angry glare to Sora.

"So boy, you think you can get me a 'Hammerhead Gully no salt on the Rocs?' Gerris challenged Sora. Though Sora saw it as no challenge, he knew drink like the back of his hand. He had been working there sense he was fourteen.

"Sure" Sora replayed with a nod, as he started to walk away Gerris grabbed his arm and pulled him down. So his mouth was near Sora's ear.

"If I don't like it, you'll be the one to pay." Gerris said evilly as he let go of Sora's arm leaving him a bit frightened.

Sora just walked back and went in front of Riku and began the drink process.

"What was that about?" Riku asked motioning to Chuck's table. "And why do you work here? Isn't it supposed to be twenty one and over?"

Sora was still working on the drink as he answered "It's nothing, and I got this job because I had too." Sora didn't want to talk for many reasons, but the main one being. If he told Riku everything he would be punished very harshly. It was his fault, it was always his fault, and Sora just was a worthless person in his eyes and everyone's eye's. "Why are you here Riku? How'd you even get in?" Sora did wonder, he knew the bouncer he was very strict on I.D's.

"Easy, I know the bouncer he was at the old orphanage I was at. So he lat me in, you still haven't answered my question. Do you like making me guess? It's fun but when you get hurt I don't like it any more." Riku said as he leaned over and put his arms around Sora's neck, Sora jumped a little causing the drink to splash, but no harm done.

"Riku I have to go serve this…." Sora just wanted to get away. He set the drink in front Gerris and stood to the side. Gerris picked up the drink and took a big gulp of it and swallowed.

"Kid...You got a knack for this, but I think i'll still take you hame anyway." Gerris said motioning Sora to sit near him.

"Uhhmm no, I can't do that. It's not part of the job..." Sora really didn't want to piss off people, but he had standards as to who he hung around with. "I should be going, more things to do."

"Your work is more inportant than me? The costumer? hmm?" Gerris grabbed Sora's arm roughly across the table, forcing Sora to be dragged over it. The glasses were pushed off spilling any contents on the ground. "I think you may want to re thing that!" Gerris started to walk away with Sora in tow, but someone soon stopped him.

"And what do you think you doing?" Riku had rush overonce he saw Sora go across the table. Now though he was pissed, that was an under statement at the time. He didn't know why but he felt pure utter rage towards the drunken bastard, who dared harm his Sora.

"I THINK i'm leaving with my friend." Gerris slid a hand up Sora shirt, cause him to try and squirm away. Sora saw Riku rage go up ten fold.

"With MY boyfriend? I think not! He belongs to me! Right Sora?" Riku looked at Sora with such rage, Sora thought he would melt into a puddle. His mom was scary but Riku was ten time worse, when you tick him off.

"Uhh...Y-y-yeahhh...He's my lover..." Sora looked to the ground, He didn't WANT to say it, he really didn't but to get out of this mess there was no other way.

"Tch, fine you little whore go play for now." Gerris gave Sora a mencing look and walked out. Sora took a deep breath and fell to the floor, he felt sort of light headed now.

Riku saw this and his expresion grew softer, he leaned down and put a hand on Sora's shoulder. "Hey you ok?" Riku saw the slight nod that Sora gave. "Let's get out of here..." Riku helpped Sora up, he did argue about not leaving so Riku headed to the door.

They walked down the streets that wound around the town, Sora looked like he was going to pass out at any moment. It was late by now the sun had set and the street lights shone in the distance. " Hey, we're almost at the orphanage, you want to sleep over?" Riku looked at the droppy Sora as she shook his head 'no.' "Why not I wont eat you, you know." Riku raised a brow as Sora mumbled.

"Got to get home before..." Sora gave a big yawn "10 pm..." Riku looked to the bank across the street they were on.

"Sora that's imposible, it's 11pm right now." Riku looked suprised as Sora sprung to life.

"No! That can't be right! No no no no! I..I.." Sora looked like a mental case at the moment then he bolted off. Riku of corse was take back by the small ones out burst, and ran to follow.

Riku had followed Sora all the way to a house, it looked normal to the eye, but Riku got a bad feeling about it. Sora stopped on the front porch and walked in. Riku ran to a window and peeked in.

--------------------------------------------

Thank you for reading! But I do have a question for all of you! Should Riku see the truth now? Or prolong it? And how shall Sora's mother die? Last one is sort of morbid so you don't have to answer that! But yes I think that is a good punishment for hurting our cute lil' Sora!
