Memory
Brandon, Brandon, Brandon….
….who the hell was Brandon?
He was all that I could think about for the past two nights, all that I could think about now. Drumming my fingers on my desk, I groaned. WHO WAS BRANDON?
"So…who's Brandon?"
Jumping I think I spun around so fast that I probably made other people dizzy. Oh my god, heart attack. Staring into see green eyes, I frowned. "What did you say?"
"Who's Brandon?" Riku repeated, gesturing down at my open notebook. Looking down I blushed. Brandon was written all across the page. Sometimes in cursive, block letters, printed; up, down, sideways, zigzag. Wowzers... obsession much?
"Umm, I really….don't…know…." The answer to his question sounding slightly odd, even to my own ears. If you didn't know the person, why have his name written all across you're notebook? Letting my head drop onto the desk with a thump, I sighed. This was the solution to my brain cramp. Every time you hit your head, you lose a brain cell, no brain cells, no brain cramp. Brilliant, ne?
"Oh...someone you met online?" His tone of voice sounded different…almost... was that jealousy? Nah, couldn't be.
"It's not like that. I didn't meet him online. It's just, I don't know, I…I …I feel like I should know him from somewhere. I just, I dunno." Lifting my head, I stared into his eyes. I don't understand anymore. Can you help me Riku? Can you tell me who he is? Of course not, why would you know someone who doesn't exist?
"What do you mean you don't know?" He questioned in an almost clip tone. His mouth drew in a thin line, eyebrow raising.
Was he angry at me because I couldn't answer his question? He probably thought that I was lying to him. Whatever, I was not in the mood for someone else's mood swings besides my own. "I mean exactly what I said. How do I know someone that doesn't exist?"
Silence.
Well, that shut him up. "I'm sorry Riku, I just…." Dropping my head back onto the desk, I winced. Owie… that really does hurt….I didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry…."
There was the usual scraping of chairs as everyone sat down as the teacher slowly walked into the room. It was now first period, the time for utter boredom and, in my case, hell.
"MR. KOISHII!" Came the expected cry as my favorite substitute of all time came into the room, purse banging down on the desk in her agitation. Gods…how long would it be before Will came back to teach this class?! He'd been out longer then me for goodness sake! Was he seriously and mortally ill or something? I truly hope he wasn't…
Waving my hand in the air dismissively I sighed. "I know, I know... detention."
A few snickers went around the room, but I didn't really care. For god's sake I never even did anything. I still wanted to know when this sub would be leaving though. Annoying lady must die. I could just see it now. My hands wrapped around her neck and stabbing her over and over with a plastic spork…
"Umm, Sora?" Looking up, I looked over at the amused face of Riku. "Are you okay?"
Wha-? Blinking, I suddenly realized that I had been stabbing my poor unfortunate notebook with my pencil. Poor thing. Grinning sheepishly, I nodded. "Eh-he, he, he...yeaaaah…"
No, I don't think I was…
Putting my pencil down and slowly pushing the abused notebook to the side, I looked over at the board and tried to pay attention to the lesson.
When the bell rang, signaling the end of first period (thank god!), I practically sprinted to the door. Only to find myself be pulled in the opposite direction of where my feet should have been moving. Instead of heading towards the door, I was moving towards the teacher's desk.
Blinking, I placed my hand on the desk to stop myself from toppling over.
"Sora, is there something wrong? You come here everyday practically exhausted. At first I thought it was just to spite me, I thought you were another one of those trouble students. But asking around I found out that you were actually quite bright; a nice and considerate student…" I blinked in surprise at the hand that was suddenly on my shoulder, but mainly the surprise came from the face that was attached to that hand. The sub didn't just hate me, what? "Is there something… wrong?"
Oh yes teacher, there's something wrong. I don't remember my past, I'm having dreams that I can't remember, I know a boy that I don't think exists, I think my best friend was hitting on me, and know I think he's mad at me. Like I would tell her that.
Slowly shaking my head no, I moved away from the hand on my shoulder. "I, I have to go. I'll be late to my next class…" I could almost feel her frown on my back.
Moving towards the door, I smiled slightly when the teacher called after me that I didn't have detention. That was a plus.
I think I made it half way down the hall way when I was intercepted by none other then Riku. And once again I found myself going in the complete opposite direction from where I wanted to go. Right, left, down the stairs, another left, right, right….and suddenly we were outside. I found myself quickly being dragged away from school.
What was Riku doing? Wasn't this like, oh I don't know, skipping school?
"Okay…"
Taking in my surroundings, I realized that we were in the park. The same park and same clearing where I first met him. This was such a beautiful place.
"Sora…what's going on?" His tone was demanding, pulling me out of my thoughts, making my eyes connect with his sea green.
His green eyes bore into my own. Turning away, I shook my head. "Nothing's going on. What do you mean?" Biting my lip I dropped my head and stared at the ground.
"The teacher's right. You always come in tired. You have circles under your eyes." He said, that demanding tone still in place, but I could hear his concern playing behind his words.
Shrugging, I glared at the ground. "So what? I haven't been sleeping well lately." Kicking at the ground, I started when I felt a cool hand slide down my face.
I stared up wide eyed at Brandon's pale face. "Bwandon? What awe you doing?"
Shaking my head, I stared at Riku's face. Taking in a deep breath, I pulled away. "What's it to you?"
"Sora, you're my friend. I care. I want to know if something's wrong." He leaned forward and gently pulled my face up to look at him. "I don't want you to…"
"…cry. Don't cry Sora. It'll only hurt for a moment."
"…keep anything from me. Not if it's making you lose sleep." Riku sighed softly.
I found myself staring into his eyes again. I was losing myself in them, and I knew that. I knew if I kept staring into those eyes I would drown, but suddenly drowning didn't sound so bad. Actually, it sounded really nice…
Biting my lip, I went to take a step back but was pulled into a loose embrace. His arms circled my waist and rested gently on the small of my back. Closing my eyes I leaned into the hug. There was a small stinging sensation in the back of my eyes. I was crying….?
I was crying. Gripping onto the almost lifeless body, I cried. "Don't leave me! Please!"
Shaking my head, I pulled away from the hug. Running my hands shakily through my hair, I felt the sob pass my lips. Why was I crying? Why was I crying?
"Don't leave me…"
Because they left me? Because he left me. Wait, who was he? I jerked away from Riku's grasp, taking in deep shuddering breaths. My skull was pounding, as mumbled words and images flashed through my mind. Gripping my head in my hands, I back pedaled to the edge of the clearing. I had to leave. I had to go. Spinning around I sprinted through the trees, down the path, out of the park. And I kept going, I wouldn't stop, couldn't stop.
Before I knew it I was hastily putting my key into my front door, my hands shaking terribly. The images were flashing faster through my mind, the voices growing in velocity, intensity…
Finally I got the key to fit in the lock, twisting it I opened the front door and closed it behind me, hastily I ran up the stairs to my room and threw myself onto the bed. Why was I crying? Why was I crying?
The voices and images grew louder, grew faster. I lay there gasping for breath.
Cold dead eyes stared up at the night sky. Gripping the body I cried. Why was she leaving me? Why was he leaving? "Don't go! Please…"
Burying my head into the unmoving body, I sobbed. Why? Why her…Why him…?
Why'd they take him away?! My brother…
Oh gods my chest hurt. They took him! They took him! THEY TOOK HIM!!!
"SORA!"
Looking up, I suddenly found cold Amber eyes. Cold amber eyes glinting demonically in the dying light. Dying, just like her…
Sobbing, I covered my eyes. What was happening to me? Was I finally remembering? Was I finally remembering?
I wish I wasn't…..
I really hope I'm not….
