The song is careful by paramore
Thanks shanty
We continued to snuggle close to each other while all of us talked and laughed away. We played drink and tell, which is where you have a swig of vodka, or for Xion and Tidus they had coke, and you then you tell a secret. It was my turn to drink and tell, I wasn't really sure because most people knew my secrets, I wasn't a very secretive person. I took a swig which scorched my throat.
"Uh… I went out with Wakka for a while?" It sounded like a question.
"When?" Tifa asked shocked.
"Half way through the year." I said.
"Wow I didn't know this." Tifa said.
"Cause we weren't that close at the time." I explained.
"Well how come I didn't know?" Rikku accused.
"Umm…" I smiled and laughed. Then I passed the bottle of vodka to Roxas.
He took a swig and burped I giggled, then he looked thoughtful for a second. Then he finally spoke.
"I went skinny dipping the other week and it was a real crack up cause it was in the local pool then we got caught by the neighbour hood watch which was the girl I used to likes dad." He laughed.
We all cracked laughing for so long, Tifa was crying with laughter while Rikku was choking. I saw coke come out of Tidus's nose which made me laugh even more. I felt tears due in my eyes and I fell onto the sand gasping for air between the fits of laughter. After we had finished laughing and composed ourselves the bottle of clear liquid went to the next person, Namine. She took a gulp and cringed.
"Uh I broke up with Jarred." She admitted.
This I already knew because Selphie told me and so did Namine, because she was a bit upset and needed a friend, which I went to her house as soon as she called.
"Aw sweetie are you okay?" Xion asked hugging her.
"Yeah, I got kind of bored with our relationship and I didn't really love him anymore." She explained.
"There's plenty more fish in the sea." Tidus hugged her. She laughed and passed the bottle of coke to Tidus, he took it then guzzled it down.
"Uh I'm a virgin." He said. We all laughed, of course he was, he was only 13 I was too though I was a lot older.
He passed the bottle of coke to Xion who took a mouthful then thought for a moment.
"My brothers going to rehab." She said.
We were quiet, nobody knew how to react. Did we say were sorry but it was good for him or what? The silence became long and awkward.
"I'm really sorry, are you ok?" I asked.
"Yeah I just hope it helps him." She said looking sad. Namine hugged her tightly. Namine's hair was a few shades lighter then Xion's she was so pretty she could be a model when she turns 16 she was tall, slender and beautiful. Boys were always after her though she was only 12 she looked about 15.
"Me too." I said quietly
"Anyway, moving on. Your turn." Xion said to Rikku who had a big cheeky grin playing on his perfect pale lips.
"Well I'm gonna be honest here, don't blame me Kai cause I'm kinda drunk. But you are probably my best friend ever." He held up the bottle.
"Thanks Rikku." I smiled and blushed.
"And I'll smash any mother fucker that tries to get into you." He laughed.
I laughed to cause I knew he'd probably try.
"Hear that Roxas?" Tifa giggled
"I gotcha." He laughed as well.
We were all a bit drunk and things that weren't even funny became hilarious. It happened all night as we all said stupid things then laughed hard out. I woke up the next morning and found myself leaning on Rikku's muscular chest. Tiffa was on my stomach and Namine was snuggled up close to Roxas. I felt a stab of jealousy pulse through my chest. I felt the hot tears burn at my eyes, I sniffed quietly and wiped my nose on my green jacket sleeve. I sighed and moved back to Rikku's chest, he was probably the best friend I had as well as Tifa. I looked up and see then sun rising I gently pulled a bag under Tifas head where she snuggles closer to it. I got up and walked to the other side of the island and sat and watched the sun rise. It was beautiful, beyond words. Last night had been so much fun, I really felt accepted and comfortable with all the people there.
But I still felt horrible, as if somehow Namine had stabbed me in the back. I heard a noise and footsteps.
"Hey, are you ok?" Tifa asked me and sat down beside me.
"Yeah I guess so. I guess I'm a bit jealous." I confessed.
She nodded. "The sunrise is beautiful isn't it?" she said
"Its amazing." It really was, there were jets of red and pink shooting across the skies like arrows spilling through the blue. It was one of the best I'd ever seen though it did hurt my eyes it was worth it to watch that.
"I don't like Namine. She knew you liked Roxas and she kept trying to get into him." She said.
"Hmm yea, but I didn't make a move and she did so I guess it's fair." I admitted.
"Are you joking? He hasn't asked her out, he's still game, try and get there before her." she said suddenly.
I turned to her, she never said things like this it was random but I did see where she was coming from. I nodded and he was only here for a few days then he was going back to Twilight Town for a few weeks then coming back when I restarted school. Tifa and I sat and talked for a while before deciding to head back to the group.
"Back to mine for pancakes today." Rikku said sitting up when we walked through the door again.
"Is my dad going to work with yours?" I asked Rikku.
"Sure is, beautiful." He smiled and put his arm around my shoulders. I put my arm around his waist.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?" he looked down at me.
"Sure?" He led me a bit away from the group and turned to me.
"Do you like Roxas?" he asked.
"I guess but he seems more into Nam, so I think I'll just have to get over it." I said.
"What happened to Leon?" he asked.
"He's a good friend, just I don't think I'd ever go out with him, so I kinda got over that one." I explained.
"Okay, well as your best friend and protector I don't think you should go for Roxas, he seems like a bit of a douche and the way he's been playing both you and Namine I think give it a try but don't get too deep, he's leaving soon." He reminded me.
"I know, thanks so much, your such a good friend." I hugged him.
"Ha-ha do you know what my dad was hinting to me last night?" he laughed and we began to head back to the group.
"What?" I asked thinking of his dad trying to hint something, it made me laugh.
"He was like: So you been hanging around with Kairi a lot lately? She's a nice girl." He said. I laughed out loud, Rikku and me together? Of course we hooked up the other day, but there was no spark when we did, him and Tifa are my best friends, it'd just be weird us dating. Especially if we broke up...
I was woken up from my train of thought when Tifa took hold of my arm and began leading me to the boats.
We got to Rikku's small white house and Namine, who lived just a block away said she was gonna walk home and she'd see us later. Roxas on the other hand stayed with us. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do anything I still felt a small stab of rejection from him.
Rikku cooked a pile of pancakes and set them on the small wooden table and put the radio on to his favourite station he sat directly across from me, we dug in silently as the song played.
I settled down a twisted up frown disguised as a smile
Well you would've never known
We had it all but not what I wanted cause home for me was a place uncharted
And overgrown
You make your way in
I resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel!
The truth never set me free so I did it myself
You can't be to careful anymore,
When all that was waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More more more more
Open your eyes like I open mine
It's only the real world
Life you will never know
Shifted your weight
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it but only for so long
You look like I did, you resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering how it felt to shut down
Can't be to careful anymore
When all that was waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach a little more
More more more more
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself
You can't be to careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you wont come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be to careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
More more more more
Tifa (always felt awkward in silence) struck up convocation and we talked quietly while we ate. Then I decided me and Tifa better go have showers. Roxas left after thanking Rikku for the food and alcohol last night.
"Yeah thanks Rikku, but we better go have showers and clean up eh." I hugged him. He pecked me on the cheek and my face burned red.
"See ya Kai."
"Thanks Rikku." Tifa said, he held out his arms for a hug and she squeezed him tightly.
"Bye." He said as we waved and walked out the gate.
When we had walked out of his long drive way Tifa turned to me as we walked.
"What's happening with you and Rikku?" she asked a bit confused.
"We're just really good friends, we're close." I shrugged.
"You are the weirdest person I know." She laughed.
