Chapter 2
"You guys set this meeting up for me?" Sora asked Kari and Tai as they kept walking towards the other destined.
"Yeah." Kari said uneasily. "But we wanted it to be a surprise."
"I can't believe you two did it for me!"
Tai put a hand on her shoulder. "We want you to know that we are all here for you. Honestly, I think Matt was an idiot for letting the most wonderful girl go."
"Thanks, Tai." The bearer of Love locked arms with her best friend. "I appreciate what all of you are doing."
"We just want to cheer you up. You'd do the same for us."
"Sora!" Mimi said excitedly when she joined them. "How are you?"
She hugged Sora so tightly she was having trouble breathing.
"I'm okay, I guess. But I'm doing much better now, thanks to all of you."
"Great!" She clapped her hands happily. "Now we can go buy the tickets for the movie."
"Sure."
They all headed to the line to buy their tickets.

Matt and his band had just landed in the United States for a small tour. He was reluctant about this but eventually he told himself it would be a great opportunity for him and the band. However, his mind was filled with guilt. He broke someone's heart because of this decision. The blonde leaned against the seat of the bus the company that took them to US had arranged. His mind started to head to the other side of the world, to his hometown. It went specifically to a friend of his. His fist closed as he remembered the look on her face as he told her the big news. He hated himself for doing what he did but he didn't really have any choice. The singer closed his eyes as his mind was filled with memories from a couple of weeks ago.

Sora was sitting on the jungle gym. It was her favorite thing from the park near her house. She hadn't been there since the old destined, except Mimi, had a get together to discuss about Davis and the other new destined. That was a few months ago. The cold breeze messed her hair up as her mind kept overplaying the event that took place a few days ago. A smile rose on her face as she thought about it. She had just kissed for the first time and it felt great.
Matt was tiptoeing carefully towards her. He didn't want to scare her. He also didn't want to break her heart, especially now that they were starting to be in a relationship but he knew it would happen anyway.
"Sora?" He called her name in a low tone.
The red haired girl turned around when she heard the sound of his voice. She jumped off the jungle gym and stared at him.
"I knew you'd be here."
"Yeah. I wanted to do some thinking."
"It's your favorite place to do it, isn't it?"
She nodded positively. Since when she became so obvious to him?
"I have something to tell you."
"Did something happen?" The fourteen year old girl felt her body tense up because of the serious look on his face. "You don't want to be with me, do you?"
Matt lifted his head and stared intently at her cinnamon eyes. It only made things harder.
"Sora, listen." He walked towards the bench and sat down. "I was… well, my band was offered a tour through the United States. We're taking it. We're leaving right after New Year's."
He put his head on his hands as he waited for an answer from her. Sora stood still on her place as she tried to take everything in.
"We don't know how long this tour will take. I didn't want to go without telling you about it. And I don't want you to think I didn't like our kiss because I did. But I don't want to start anything with you knowing I'll be away for months, you know?"
He lifted his head and let his gaze fall on her. She was still in the same position, as if she had been frozen. The blonde mentally cursed himself for breaking her heart.
"Sora, say something, please."
"I think." She said weakly. "I hope you have a great time."
The girl started running to her house, tears falling from her eyes along the way. Matt took a deep breath and turned around. He headed to his house, trying to be cool outside but his heart was breaking as well.
I'm sorry, Sora. He thought to himself.

After the Destined got their tickets, they went to stroll around the shopping. Mimi and Tai exchanged glances. They were walking side by side and very often their hands touched. Both of them fought the internal urge to hold each other's hand because of the rest. They still didn't know they were seeing each other. Walking behind them, Kari raised an eyebrow at her brother and her friend and got suspicious at their reaction. She then walked faster to reach Mimi.
"I think we should talk to Sora." She said in a low tone.
The auburn girl turned around and saw that Sora was way behind them. She was walking slowly and with her head down. Mimi stopped walking until the red haired girl caught up with her and Kari.
"Sora." The bearer of Sincerity locked arms with her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Mimi. I'm fine." She sighed.
The guys turned their hands towards the girls. Sora felt really ashamed for ruining their fun time.
"I'm sorry." She whispered to them. "I came across a CD store and there was a huge poster of the Teenage Wolves."
Neither Mimi nor Kari knew what to say to her.
"Aww, Sora." The thirteen year old hugged her. "You need to cheer up."
"I know, Mimi. I know. But I can't. It hurts so much."
Kari grabbed her hand. "Would you feel better if you talked about it?"
Sora looked at her. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Matt! Matt!" The guitarist of the band shook his hand in front of his friend.
"What?"
"You were daydreaming again, man."
"No I wasn't."
"You so were. What were you daydreaming about? Was it that girl with pink hair?"
"No." Matt said harshly.
"Alright. So it was that other girl, the one with the cookies."
Matt blushed heavily but quickly tried to compose himself.
"Shut up, Akira." He gave a death glare to his friend. "Now let's do our sound check."
"Okay. But you didn't fool me. Your embarrassment made it pretty obvious you were thinking about that girl. What's her name again? It's Sora, isn't it?"
Matt frowned. One of the worst habits from Akira is that he knew how to be a pain in the ass when he wanted to. The blonde sighed.
"Yes. Now shut the hell up!"
"Calm down, Matt. You don't need to get so worked up about it."
"Then don't annoy me with such things."
"Well, if you don't want her, then I do."
"What?!" Matt got up from his chair and closed his hands into fists. "You better not go anywhere near her, Akira."
"Why not? She's pretty."
"Because she's not like the other girls."
"Right."
"I'm warning you, don't go near her. If you ever touch a lock of her hair, I will kill you."
Akira started laughing. "I'm sure she's old enough to take care of herself."
"She's fourteen!" Matt yelled. He felt his blood boiling up.
Luckily for Akira, the rest of the Wolves came in to see what all the yelling was for. Yutaka grabbed him and Takashi grabbed Matt.
"If you do anything to her." Matt screamed. "There'll be four guys ready to beat you up."
"Calm down, you two! There's no need to fight. Especially over a girl. We're not in Japan right now. There are lots of girls here we can hook up with."
Takashi released Matt. He fixed his shirt and turned to Akira.
"Don't go near Sora if you want to live."
He walked out of the room as the Yutaka and Takashi looked at Akira.
"What happened between you two?"
"Nothing. But Matt is in love."
"What?"
"You gotta be kidding me. Matt wouldn't fall in love."
"Well, he did. Did you see the way he behaved when I talked about dating Sora?"
"Don't you dare go for it, Akira. I don't want this band to split."
"Yeah, me neither."
"Don't worry guys. Nothing will happen… yet."
Akira smirked as the other two looked at each other.

Sora and the other Destined were near a bench inside the mall. Some of them were sitting and some were standing but they were all eager to her what exactly happened between her and Matt.
"Okay, so…" She took a deep breath. "What do you want to know?"
"I think we all want to know what happened when he told you he was going on tour."
"Well…" Sora brought her knees to her chest. "He went to the park while I was there."
"I'm sorry about that." Izzy said. "We had bumped into each other that day but I had no idea you wanted to be alone."
"It's alright." The red haired girl placed a hand on his shoulder. "It was better that way, Izzy. At least he told me about it instead of simply leaving. Not that he had to give me an explanation though."
"Did you guys kiss on Christmas?"
All eyes lay on Tai, criticizing him for asking Sora such question. She blushed a little and shrugged. She then looked down.
"Yeah. We did."
The girls felt even sorrier for her friend and the situation she was in. TK was completely taken by surprise, just like the other guys.
"I didn't know that, Sora." The blonde finally spoke.
"I thought Matt told you, TK."
"Well, he's being really secretive lately."
"That's not so surprising actually. Matt has always been like that."
"Yeah but it's got worse."
Everyone turned their heads towards Matt's younger brother.
"I thought that the band would help him in this but I guess I was wrong. But I know my brother and honestly, I don't think he wanted to go on tour."
"Why not, TK?"
"Because he didn't want to be away from our father and us. He's the bearer of Friendship after all."
Suddenly Mimi felt her phone vibrating. She reached for it in her pocket and flung it open. She stared at the name on the screen with wide eyes.
"Who is it, Mimi?"
"It's Matt."
