Sora POV
I was glad Lea decided to take me out today. I wasn't going to do anything else but pack my bags and head over to my moms. When he drops me off tonight I'll pack my things. I'll just enjoy my time now and figure out what we're going to do.
"So what did you have in mind?" I asked.
"I thought you could use a little fun so I guessed you would like to go to the amusement park." I almost jumped for joy just hearing that. The amusement park? It's been years since I went there. I was thinking about taking Riku, but I don't know now.
"That sounds great!" I'm glad Lea was happy about my decision to go along with him. He's such a nice guy. Maybe I'll get to know him better now that I'm here.
The drive to the amusement park took longer than I expect. I forgot to mention that I used to live close to the place, but I never knew it would be this far! And it was hot outside. I hope we can stay hydrated while we were out.
"So did Riku contact you today?"
"I don't know, let me check." I looked through my phone, but I didn't receive any messages today other than talking to Lea. I sighed to myself hoping Riku was okay.
"I didn't get anything." He looked away from me and didn't say a word. I feel like he knows something, but I don't want to force it out of him. I'll just talk to Riku again. Hopefully he'll open up to me later on.
Once we arrived I didn't know what I wanted to run to first when Lea paid for the entree fee. He had to laugh at my expressions every time he pointed me in a direction or when I found something.
"How about we get on some rides first? Once we get that out of our systems then we can start winning tickets for prizes." I accepted his offer and tried to pick out a ride. I should pick one that would scare him shitless for my entertainment. I laughed to myself out loud and he began questioning my plot.
"Sora, I don't know you're planning, but I'm on to you." He laughed with me as I picked out our first ride.
"We're going on that!" I pointed to the drop tower ahead of us.
"I'm guessing this will warm us up for the other rides." Lea said as we headed over. I bet he was already use to rides like this. Maybe he's going to scare me shitless instead.
"Sora, are you ready? You look like you were hesitating for a second there." Am I? I don't even know anymore.
"I'm not hesitating." I folded my arms earning another laugh. From there on we headed on the ride that lead to us getting on almost most of the rides in the park.
To think, that Lea got through every ride with no problem at all. I felt so uneasy after the last rollercoaster. I don't think I can do this again.
"Do you want to go win some tickets now?" Lea asked and I felt so relieved. Alright no more rides I guess. We headed over to the game stations which ended with me getting frustrated with most of the ball games. I don't know how Lea does it, but he's been winning almost everything. He's so cool!
"Sora, aren't you listening? I have enough tickets to get you a prize." I was dazing off about Lea that I didn't notice him speaking. Wait why was I daydreaming about Lea?
"For me?" I asked.
"Yeah, I think you deserve it." I was happy that he would spend his tickets to get a prize for me. I don't know what to say. We walked over to the stand and Lea let me pick out my prize.
"That one!" I pointed for the guy and he grabbed the medium sized bear down for me with a blue bowtie.
"I think this is cute." I held it closely and it was surprisingly soft to the touch.
"That bowtie matches your eyes." Lea said feeling the bowtie.
"You think so?" I laughed feeling on the silk bowtie as well.
"Let's get on one more ride then I'll take you home." Oh no, please don't be anything crazy. I've had enough for today.
"And ride would that be?" I asked.
"The Ferris wheel over there." He pointed and looked over so see the glowing lights from the wheel. I have to admit I've never been on one before. I wanted to ride one with Riku since it looked romantic, it looks nice though.
"Alright, but this is it. I'm so tired after today." We walked over and waited in line to board the Ferris wheel. I though it was going to take a long time, but the line moved faster than expected.
"I should take it that you shouldn't be afraid of heights after today?" Lea made me tense up as we took our seats in one of the passenger cars.
"I'm a bit uneasy, that's all." He knew I didn't like this as much, but I couldn't disappoint him and ruin his fun. I mean, I was having fun to after all. We began moving after people boarded most of the open cars. I thought the scenery was beautiful being at the very top. I felt a hand creep over mines and made me jump. I ended up shaking the car a bit which made me cling on to Lea who laughed pretty hard.
"Don't do that!" I yelled at him.
"What? You mean this?" He shook a bit and made me scream more and squeeze him tighter. I felt an arm hold me close before I realized I had buried my head in his chest.
"I'm sorry!" I pulled away with an embarrass expression compared to his shocked one when he took his arm away.
"It's okay, I didn't mean to get too close for comfort." Lea scratched his head.
"It's just I can't. What I'm trying to say is that, I don't want to get close to another guy since I'm with Riku. I couldn't betray him like that. I love him too much." I grabbed my bear and placed him in my lap to hold tightly in inhale it's new scent. Lea sighed and patted my head.
"You're a good person and a faithful one at that. I see why Riku loves everything about you." Lea made me happy to hear those words.
"You know, you favor Riku a little to me."
"Oh no no no, I don't think so at all!" He began to freak out and I laughed.
"Are you sure? You both have a playful side from what I can see." I mentioned.
"Well maybe, but not the rest." We both laughed it off.
"So how did you two meet?" Lea asked me and I was a bit hesitant to answer.
"We met in our last year of school. He kept forcing himself on me. He was too damn persistent. But I fell for him when I realized my feelings for him after seeing Riku with Joshua. I didn't know what came over me back then but that's where we started." I blushed just talking about it and think about my first time with Riku. Oh the heated memories, I can't stop smiling. I bet I was creeping Lea out.
"That sounds like Riku to me." Lea smiled, but then he sighed deeply and shook his head before looking out at the scenery on his side of the car. He sounds so gloomy as if something really is wrong. I hope not.
Before we knew it, the ride was over and we grabbed a bite to eat before making it to my house with Riku. Of course I was sleep during most of that long ride back to the house. I found it funny how Lea woke me up and tried to guide me to open the door. I was still tired after that drive. He woke me from my comfort zone and I wanted to pout about everything. I soon came to my senses once I reached the door and realized maybe Riku is home so I can give him his gifts. I opened the door quickly and walked in. I stood in shock and so did Lea. We didn't expect a certain visitor to be over at this time of night.
"Hello!" Joshua yelled out from the couch. Riku walked out from the kitchen and saw our reactions.
"Trust me I did the same thing too." Riku greeted me with a kiss, but soon realized that Lea was here as well.
"What are you doing here and why were you with Sora this late?" Riku's voice changed.
"Same goes for your buddy over there." Lea looked over Riku's shoulder.
"Oh we're not friends." Joshua added. I was curious as to what was going on. I've never seen those two acted like this together.
"Oh, Riku I got you some things!" I began rummaging through the bag in hopes that he would drop all the tension.
"So are you going to tell him or what?" I heard Lea's voice.
"Tell me what?" Riku looked back at me worried and back at Lea. Now I was becoming more worried as the situation grew.
"Not now Lea. This isn't a good time." Riku began pushing Lea back.
"Well if you don't then I will." Lea stepped away from Riku and proceeded towards me.
"Fine, I'll do it." Riku quickly walked over to me and knelt beside me. He took my hands and kissed them before holding them to his face.
"Sora, you know I love you and we've both been through so much together, but….I don't know how I'm suppose to break this to you." I was too scared to listen. I was shaking. This all said bad news repeatedly in my head. There was a long pause before anything was said. Joshua was amused by this and watched carefully as if not to miss anything.
"Sora, I—"
"Sora, Riku is cheating on you." It hit me like a ton of bricks. I said nothing. I looked to my hands that were still being held by Riku who were caressing slowly. I snatched them away and slapped him across his face.
"Is this true?" I asked but I didn't get any response.
"With who?" I tried to get him to talk, but he still wouldn't respond.
"I caught them having sex at my apartment." Lea told and I looked over to Joshua he looked away.
"Joshua?" I questioned, shaking horribly.
"You caught us red handed. What else is there to say?" Joshua shrugged. This bitch was under our roof. I was filled with unimaginable rage. I was disgusted. My chest pounded. I could feel the hatred building in my heart. I was breaking heavily, feeling the tears ready to fall.
"Riku what the hell!" I move away but he pulled me close as I began to push away.
"Let me go, Riku!" I pushed and pushed, but he wouldn't let me go. He just kept saying he was sorry. I couldn't take this. I didn't want any of this. The tears escaped my eyes as I kicked and scream.
"Joshua you fucking bastard! How could you!" I tried to pull away from Riku and attack Joshua. Joshua just watched me from the corner of his eyes before scoffing.
"It was good just like the last few times." I screamed scratching at Riku's arms to get to that ass.
"Joshua, stop it!" Lea yelled out.
"Well since everyone is sharing secrets, how about I update you on your list, Riku." Joshua looked over to Lea who looked uneasy. I knew where this was going.
"Don't you dare." Lea headed over and grabbed Joshua by his shirt and he just laughed it off.
"Lea raped Sora as well." Riku let me go and looked at me with eyes I've never seen before.
"Riku I'm sorry. I didn't know he was with you at the time. Ask Joshua, he was there!" Lea yelled backing away from Riku who was approaching him slowly.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you." Joshua made Lea growl before he was lunged at by Riku. I heard his fist make contact with Lea's face, making him hit the floor with a loud crash..
"Riku stop!" I yelled rushing over pushing Riku away and covering Lea.
"Sora move!" Riku shouted making me flinch a little.
"He didn't mean it Riku! Please stop!" I yelled back helping Lea stand to his feet.
"And you knew about this the whole time." Riku turned on Joshua who simply smiled and shrugged it off.
"To think sleeping with you for information was a good idea." Riku did that for what?
"That's not your only reason now is it?" A smack rang out in the room followed by a laugh.
"Everything is just going according to plan Riku. And you're a big help." Joshua leaned closer to Riku who pushed him off. That just stirred my anger even more as I tried to get to Joshua, but Lea held me back this time. I was so angry I didn't know who to go after first.
"You need to leave." Riku grabbed Joshua by the arm and dragged him towards the door.
"Why so soon? Things were getting pretty good." Riku opened the door and pushed him out. He waited by the door for Lea to leave as well. Lea knew he over stayed his welcome and walked to the door.
"Sora," I heard Lea call out.
"Don't let him hurt you." The door slammed behind him and I was left alone with Riku. This awkward silence was killing me along with the tension. Riku sat on the couch with his head resting in his hands. His foot taping quickly on the floor, I avoid looking his direction. I couldn't stand looking at him. He was making me sick just being in the same room as him. The blood from the deep scratches I gave him was still there on his arms. I walked off to go upstairs to get away from him.
"Where are you going?" He asked and I ignored as I walked around him on the couch.
"I asked you a question." He grabbed my wrist and I pulled away from him and continued heading to the upper floor. I didn't care. The only thing that was in my mind was packing my shit and leaving this house. I'm already in counseling. I don't need anymore problems to add to my scars. I slammed the door once I was in the room. My suitcase was under the bed so I quickly grabbed it and began packing the necessities I needed. The door opened, but I ignored it and continued to pack.
"Sora, listen to me."
"There's nothing to talk about Riku. What you did was wrong on so many levels." I turned to him and made eye contact. I was hurt. Out of all things to expect he had to have done this. He could've said no. He could've completely disconnected with Joshua.
"Sora I'm sorry." He attempted to apologize.
"You wouldn't have done it if you were really sorry. There's no excuse for what has already been done."
"I'm trying to apologize for what I've done. I know it was stupid of me to even do his to you, but I'm not going to let you go." He held me from behind and I broke away.
"Riku just leave me alone." I tried to move away but he held me back once more. He turned me to face him and kissed me. Something made me want to give in so badly, but I couldn't accept what he did. He moved to my ear and whispered that he was sorry and I struggled more.
"No!" I thrashed in his grasp, but he was over powering me. I was crying. I didn't want it to be like this. Riku, why? Why do something so stupid. He moved down my neck and I tried everything to push him away, hitting him to no avail. His hair was too short for me to pull, I couldn't think of anything but kicking and punching.
"Please, just let me go!" I pushed at his face. I suddenly felt him release me. He took a step back watching me as I crumbled to the floor. I covered my face, sobbing in my hands.
"You don't understand what I went through. For you to fuck the guy that helped me out of that hell hole makes no sense."
"Sora I—"
"Don't give me that shit! You're sitting up here fucking Joshua while I'm going to a counsel. I went there to better myself for the both of us yet I still have those nightmares." I stood up and wiped my face.
"You've seen all the scars I've endured. Why give me more? I have enough emotional stress to deal with already." I finally build the courage to look at him, and he looked away.
"Well what are you going to do?" He asked me.
"I don't know…" I crossed my arms. I have so many mixed emotions. I want to leave, but I want to stay at the same time. I felt so off.
"I'll take you home." I looked up at Riku who just walked out the room and closed the door behind him. I sighed, walking over to my luggage and continued packing.
After packing, I brought my luggage down the stairs and saw Riku resting on the couch with one of his now bandaged arms covering his eyes. I suspected he was resting while I was walking over.
"Are you ready?" Riku spoke making me jump. He sat up and grabbed his keys when I answered. From there on we headed out in silence. There was nothing to be said on our way to my mother's house. I quickly hopped out the car to grab my suitcase when we arrived. I looked at Riku from his window and he had his head resting on his steering wheel. I knocked on the window and he rolled it down for me.
"If you want, can we talk later and I'll tell you how I feel? I need to clear my mind and get rid of the anger first." I felt his pain, but I was feeling more than he was. Being lied to by the person you love hurts. I walked over to my door and pulled out my keys and opened the door. My mother sat in the living room surprised to see me. She ran over and pulled me into a hug before I shut the door.
"How have you been?" She asked and I looked to the floor.
"Sora, what's wrong? Is it about Riku? Is he alright?" She asked more questions and I held my gaze at the floor.
"He's fine, it's just…" I paused before I realized what I was about to say. My mother tilted her head with curiosity.
"I think it's over."
