Fast forward to sophomore year of university

Naomi's P.O.V

"Matt, I'm home" I said as I walked in and placed my keys on the kitchen counter. "Matt?".

"I'm in here!" he called from the room. I raise an eyebrow as I make my way to the room and open the door. The lights were off, scented candles were lighted and there were roses (and rose petals) everywhere. I place my hand over my mouth as I try to stop myself from crying.

"What is all this?" I ask, trying not to choke. I walk into the room slowly. Taking in the whole scene in front of me. Matt steps in front of me and gets down on one knee. He pulls out a velvet box and opens it. It revealed a gorgeous ring. I gasp as I looked at it. No freaking way.

"Naomi Hashimoto, we've been together for a long time and I could never love a woman or girl more. I'm not gonna be some ass who gives a long speech so I'm gonna cut to the chase. Will you marry me?" he said. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I look down at him with a big smile. I nod, not being able to say anything. He gently grabs my hand and places the ring on my ring finger. He stands up and practically towers over me. I'm so short. He shakes his head at the look on my face. I haven't moved since he proposed. He leant down and brushed his soft but firm lips against my own. He pulls away and smiles, wrapping his arms around my waist. I still can't move.

"I love you" I unconsciously said.

"I love you too" he replied. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him towards me. I placed my chin on his shoulder, not wanting to let go. Thinking if I did, he would drift away. My tears rolled down my cheeks and stained his a shirt a little. I pull and look at him with my big blue eyes. My mind is finally straight. I can finally think.

"I can't wait to be Mrs. Ishida" I whisper. He gives me a crooked grin. Today is the start of the rest of my life.

3 months later

Matt's P.O.V

This was surreal. I was just told by a record company that another record company (presumably an American branch) wants me to go to America and record an album! OH MY GOSH. This was amazing. I wanted to tell Naomi but I'll save it for the honeymoon. She's gonna enough on her plate right now. We're due to marry in just a months time. I was ecstatic. I was so lost in my own thoughts, I bumped into someone. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry" I said helping the person up. Then I realised it was Sora. "Hey! What's up?" I smiled as I hugged her.

"Nothing. What's with you? You seem so happy" she said. I couldn't contain my excitement.

"I've just been signed to an American record company! I'm going there to record an album".

"Oh my God, that's so great. Congratulations". She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck. I can honestly say, lately I've been feeling some weird things about Sora. I mean I had a crush on her before Naomi came back but I always thought she had a thing for Tai. That's why I backed off.

"Yeah, thanks". She pulls away with a happy grin on her face.

"Have you told anyone else?".

"No, you're the first". She let out a little giggle.

"Then I'm honored to be the first to know". I spent the rest of the day with her. Laughing, reminiscing and talking about the future. As much as I love Naomi, I just couldn't really picture us. The whole family thing. It's probably just premarital jitters. But Sora felt the same about Tai. "I just can't see myself with him in the future with kids and a everything but then I can't see a future without him there" she said. That's when I learned so much about her. So much I probably knew but just forgot. After an hour of chit-chatting and such, we bid our goodbyes and headed home. When I opened the front door, I found Naomi on the kitchen table, scribbling furiously onto her notebook.

"Whatcha up to?" I said, startling her.

"Oh, nothing. Just some assignment notes".

"Great".

"So, how was your day?". I wanted to tell her all about Sora and everything but I didn't want her to think differently.

"Oh, you know. Same old same old". She let out a soft chuckle. Our lives have been good. Lots of love, lots of joke, lots of sex. Nothing was wrong. I felt like it tonight and hopefully she was too. "Do you want to... tonight?" I asked. She raises her eyebrow at me and gives me a look that says 'Seriously?'.

"Maybe later" she said.

2 weeks later

"Can you believe that in just 2 weeks you'll be a married man?" Sora laughed. We've been hanging out a lot. She's so carefree. Naomi used to be until the 2nd semester of freshman year. Sure, Sora and I have done some things we're not supposed to but sometimes we're drunk and can't be held responsible for our actions.

"Hey, it's not that bad". But she was right. I can't believe it. Why am I tying myself down so fast? I'm only 20. I guess I was just caught up in the moment of being in love but now I was thinking otherwise.

"Yeah, I guess. Whatever".

"You're so much easier to hang out with".

"What do you mean?".

"Naomi is just so stressed, you know?".

"Yeah, I know. I miss high school".

"Me too".

Days before the wedding

I have never felt more wasted in my life. My bachelor party was awesome but I'm so high right now. I found myself lying on the couch in Tai's apartment. "Morning, sleepyhead" Sora chirped as she handed me a cup of coffee. I took a sip of the hot liquid. Coffee, good stuff. "Where's Tai?".

"Left to go to stuff before the wedding". She gave me a peck on the cheek and sat next to me. "Okay. This sounds crazy but I have a proposition. We've grown really close. In some ways, no one can imagine and I must say I've fallen, Matt. And hard". Matt couldn't say he didn't feel the same but can he really leave Naomi? Just like that?

"Keep going". He's going to make a choice. Maybe it's not the best choice and he knows he's going to regret it but what's life without taking risks, right?

"I got 2 one-way tickets to California" she said. Whoa, this chick is serious.

"For when?". She looked down and let out a sigh.

"August 20th".

"Hold up, that's my wedding day".

"There weren't any earlier flights".

"So, you expect me to leave her at the altar?".

"Look, if you don't want then it's fine". I thought about it. I know this is gonna come back and bite me in the ass one day.

"Okay. What's the plan?".

"Okay, we go to the wedding act as if everything is normal. And if I'm right, Naomi should be a nervous wreck and would take some time to hold herself together. When that happens, we both make a break for the bathroom or something, secretly meet up somewhere and go to the airport".

"What about bags?".

"I know a guy. He'll help me store 'em somewhere til we get there".

"Okay".

"Hey, don't take me as a bad person but I think this is the only way for us to be together without confrontation". He knew she was right. So did she.

Naomi's P.O.V

This can't be happening. No, no, no! This wasn't supposed to happen. 60 seconds have never felt so long in her life. Finally, the timer on her phone went off. She went into the bathroom and picked up 4 sticks that have been placed on the sink. Positive. Positive. +. +. "Holy crap" I murmured. I'm pregnant. We have been using a condom all the time right? Have we? Oh shit, I think we haven't. I'm not going to tell anyone. Only after the wedding. This is my little secret. I placed a hand on my still flat stomach. I let out a sigh. Matt and I made a miracle, a baby.

Wedding day

Everyone was running around everywhere. I simply stood in front of the mirror looking at myself. Astonished that I was really going to do this. "You looks so pretty" Kari said, suddenly appearing behind me. I turn around and give her a small smile.

"I may look pretty but I'm as nervous as hell" I said. Kari placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Today is your special day. Nothing can screw it up". She walked away and helped Mimi with some last minute adjustments.

"Hey guys, I think I'm gonna head to the bathroom" Sora said.

"Don't be long!" Yolei called as she passed me my veil.

"Oh gosh, I'm nervous" I sigh.

"Relax" Yolei smiled. Somehow, in the pit of my stomach, I felt like something was going to happen. I don't know whether it was a good or bad feeling but I know something is going to happen.

Matt's P.O.V

It's GO time - Sora

I looked at the screen of my phone. It's time. I might be making the biggest mistake ever but I'm willing to take that risk right now. "Hey Tai" I said as I tapped on his shoulder. He turned to me.

"What?" he asked.

"I think Naomi is going to take a while, so I'm going to head to the bathroom real quick".

"Yeah, sure". I exit the church using a back way and meet Sora at the back. She gave me a peck on the cheek before grabbing my hand.

"Let's do this" I said, with both confidence and happiness. We both quietly got a cab and headed to the airport.

Naomi's P.O.V

"Naomi, get a hold of yourself!" Mimi exclaimed, shaking Naomi's shoulders.

"I don't know if I can do this, Mims".

"You're gonna have to go through with it". She's right. For the baby's sake.

"Hey, why don't you and the girls go down first? I'll join you guys real soon. I just need a moment alone with myself. She nodded and ushered the girls out of the room. I stared at myself through the mirror again. This is it, Naomi, You and Matt. Together forever. Somehow, my body felt frozen and I couldn't move.

Tai's P.O.V

"Where's Matt?" I asked Izzy. He simply shrugs his shoulders. TK stands there looking for any sign of his brother. I give him a look and we both run down the aisle to the door. We push them open to find the girls all lined up, waiting for Naomi.

"You guys can't go in!" TK said a little too loudly.

"Why not?" Mimi demanded.

"Cause Matt isn't in there".

"WHAT?" they all shriek.

"He said he was going to the bathroom and hasn't come back"I explained.

"Now that you mention it, neither has Sora" Yolei mused.

"Everyone search the church!" I shout. We all run around the church hoping to locate Sora and Matt but both couldn't be found.

"What do you think happened?" Mimi asked me.

"I'm not sure" I say, my voice sounding worried.

"You guys!" TK called from a far. He ran towards us, a piece of white paper in his hands. "It's from Matt".

Gone with Sora to America to pursue my dream.

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me someday.

Matt

"That bastard" I hiss as I crumple up the letter in my hand then stuffed it into my pocket. I could feel hot tears streaming down my face.

"How could he do this to me?".

"Who's going to tell Naomi?" Davis asked.

"I will" I said. I went up to her room and opened the door. Only to see her standing in front of the mirror staring at herself. "Naomi?". She looked startled as she turned around to look at me, a small smile on her face.

"Sorry, it's taking me so long. I just.. I couldn't move" she said. I walk to her and stand behind her. I take the note out and open it up for her to read.

Naomi's P.O.V

After reading the letter Tai showed, I could hear my heart breaking in my ears. I could feel my whole world crashing down. Tears seem to automatically form in my eyes and stream down my face. I placed my hands over my face and fall to the ground but Tai catched me. Slowly, he brought both of us down to the floor. He wrapped his arms around me as he tried to fight back his own tears. How could he do this to me? How could she do this to me? She was supposed to be my best friend. "How could they do this to me?" I sobbed.

"It's hard to believe, I know" Tai says. He tightens his embrace as more tears fall. "It's gonna be okay. Things are going to be okay". I sure hope so.

Matt's P.O.V

I feel guilt sweep over me as Sora and I board the plane. Could I really bare with myself for doing this? Well, no go backs. This is it. Sora places a reassuring arm on my shoulder. Life is all about risks. And sometimes, the results aren't great but you have to bare with it.

WHOOOAAA. That was nuts.

I didn't mean to make Sora the mean one here but I kinda like her and Matt together

So, yeaaah.

Bare with me.
