A/N:

Hey there. Again. Well guys, I've been trying to take a break from typing stories but thank to the reviewers, I decided to type up another chapter. So, fragile heart-broken soul, MewMidna, KoumiLoccness and venus 9814; this is for you guys. Oh, and for anyone else who gave their time to this story :)

Note: On 7/16/13', this chapter was revised. Just to clear or confirm any confusion/suspicion (if that makes any sense).

Just so you know Sora

Chapter 3: Confusion

The silence was deafening.

In a room of more than five, not one was able to say anything remotely related to starting a conversation, for the same thought ran through most everyone's heads, 'What was going to happen now?'

In the group, it was not a inexistent topic that the relationship lines between Tai Sora and Matt were more so of a web that a triangle- Each pair had their differences, their moments, causing everyone to have theories of their own. It was a forbidden, cornered off area of conversation, that few really knew, outside of what they inferred for themselves; and at the moment, what they believed was happening arose more questions than really had them gushing about the production of video. Which clearly spoke some kind of brilliant, if the captured burning feelings Matt had for a certain girl who was taken, was unrealistic, and just a product of music interpretation.

Within the group, only two knew what they were going to do next.

Izzy, curious as to the reactions of the others, met the sight of deep pondering in all of his friends, and met the eyes of none.

He saw Kari glancing at the laptop cart that held his laptop, that held the video in a fixed gaze, fingers running over the case of her phone, likely to be thinking of where her brother was, and if he'd seen the video. He'd thought of it too, and from it wondered where the singer, the star in the video was going to held with the extremely personal view into his normally kept silent feelings for Sora. At the thought of Matt, his eyes wandered to TK, whom sat next to Kari, not seeming as clueless and wondering as much so as the others. Perhaps, this made sense because he was Matt's brother.

He probably new about as much as he did, which was considerable, he'd been with Matt the day after the final soccer game, the day that he left early, and he himself by chance happened to be the only one who noticed. They'd talk that day, becoming closer than their friendship ever went back when they were younger, when the prospect of connecting was left an option only after fighting for their lives.

Matt had told him, the feelings he was afraid to admit, the fact that he saw Tai with another girl, why it was that the day he confronted him about it was also the day before their sudden 'sick' leave from attending school. Tai ad approached Sora then, explaining to her after explaining to Matt #which was also after they reduced one another into pulp# that it was a misunderstanding, why the girl left his house just before the school day began, early in the morning. This particular concept Izzy saw himself in the video, further confirmation that the level of lovesick Matt was on was exactly what Izzy'd guessed he was on.

From the encounter, details that Matt chose to disclose revealed his sincere thoughts of the girl he once called 'just a friend' long before he outright said anything.

"I'm going to go for a breather, maybe go home first, I'll see everyone tomorrow at school."

Surprise, as the primary female main spoke.

Everyone was suddenly cauht off guard once again, as Sora stood, grabbing her phone from the tabletop as she went on her way to the door.

His attention immediately shifted to Mimi as he felt a light touch of his hand. The door opened, catching his interest briefly before he returned focus to his girlfriend, whom squeezed his hand a second time.

She nodded the doot, and whispered, leaning into him that she'd see him soon. He nodded back at her, and they share a quick peck as the honey brunette stood, excusing herself, "Sora wait, I'll go with you!" she turned to the group, " It's a little stuffy feeling in here, be back soon, guys" She smiled warmly, turning to assure the group that things were in control.

She too left, quickly putting on her shoes and again, the door sounded.

Izzy quickly assessed the situation in the room, taking action to help return the group whose souls seemed to be preoccupied on another plane.

"Davis, TK, mind giving a hand with this projector? I'll disconnect the wires, you two move the laptop tray into the guest room, would you?"

Surprised to hear their names, the two friends glanced at each other a brief moment before rising from their seats, almost simultaneously.

"Yeah, no problem Izzy"

"Yeah, sure Iz"

Izzy gave them a grateful smile, fully capable of doing both tasks, watching satisfied as the others in the room began to process the situation at hand and return to themselves, stretching from their seats and talking.

-TKamiya-

'Keep going. Don't stop.'

Once again choosing to ignore the cries of not only her best friend, but her muscles, Sora's sneakers sounded distinctly against on the pavement.

Mimi did what she could to attempt to catch a breath. Her heart beat uncomfortably, feeling as though functioning three times her normal rate. Once able to stand, she needed the leverage of pushing herself up from resting her hands on her knees to stand tall, heading to speak to a corn stand owner in the Farmer's Market.

"Excuse me, but did you happen to see a girl with auburn hair hurriedly run through here?" The woman seemed distracted by Mimi's condition, hair ruffled and breathing ragged, before she answered her.

"Well yes, I did, my was she fast." Mimi couldn't help but look eager as she waited for the grandmother to continue. "She went down that alleyway."

"Thank you so much, ma'am, have a good day!", and with it, she was again on her way.

"My, those two are real speed hounds."

-MIshida-

"Damn Tai and his "Hey Sora wanna play soccer?", and damn that girl for being so freakin' athletic."

"Ugh.. Where could that girl be?" her brows creased at the prospect of her friend being left alone to sort out her thoughts. If it were her, she knew she would've requested hr friend's presence. "Where am I?" She glanced around at her surroundings, a familiar feeling flooding her head.

"Wait a minute..." Mimi continued to mumble to herself, looking at the sign. "Coral Avenue.. that means?"

-STakenouchi-

Sora slid down the trunk of the tree, her heart as a wreck as the train of thought.

What did the video mean? Did Matt..

Not having much time at all to really ponder by herself, she looked up as the leaves rustled to her right, footsteps crunching their way into derailing her bit of silence she'd went through trouble to achieve.

"Sora! Thank God I found you. Are you okay?" Mimi was audibly worried as she sat next to her friend, wondering what her friend could've been thinking about, she herself having been left utterly silent at the result of Matt's video. She could only imagine the turmoil of Sora's mind, knowing that the sudden factor of Matt and feelings complicated her heart, of which she'd confessed to Mimi was hesitant about staying with Tai. She patted the normally emotionally secure her lightly on the shoulder, adjusting herself against the bark of the tree.

"Mimi, I don't know what to think... I'm just... I'm just confused." She studied her friend, tears threatening to fall. For her first serious relationship, was also this serious load on her shoulder of love triangles. "Was it just a video? Was this why he's been different lately?" Sora sighed, hugging her knees close as she rested her chin against them. "What is he feeling.. ?"

The question was left hanging, her head and heart not ready to fully confront the situation.

Mimi tried her best to comfort her friend, hands on her shoulders. "Sora, I'm sure he's willing to talk to you"

"Then why did he stay quiet when Tai and I got together?"

"Feelings can develop, or maybe he just wanted the best for you.." Knowing her friend, she knew that this perspective was going to trigger her self-reflection, and cause her to scrutinize and review nearly every event that had ever involved the three friends together. She knew it would utterly confuse her, but knew it was the only thing that could revisit and resolve Sora's turmoil inside of her old, hidden childhood crush on Matt, and force her to choose between him and Tai.

It was quiet in the park for a few moments as she wordlessly rubbed circles into her friend's back, giving her mental space, physical comfort.

"I'm always here for you, you know that right?" Sora nodded, tears in her eyes as Mimi smiled at her, arms open for a hug. "It's okay, you'll figure it out."

"Thanks Meems, I owe you one." Sora smiled, sniffling.

"Aw, what are friends for?" Mimi reached out again and pulled Sora to her, earning a short giggle from her friend.

"I know you're still thinking things over, but what are you going to do about Matt? When you see him, that is?" Mimi asked, good-naturedly. A breeze passed by, a few leaves flowing in the gust of wind.

Sora looked out at the park, seeing kids begin playing with a soccer ball in the distance, their laughter filling the stressful air with positivity. Mimi's gaze followed her's.

"I honestly don't know."

After a few minutes of basking themselves into the nostalgia the kids playing amongst the bright green grass has brought, Mimi spoke out.

"Well, let's get back to the gang. They're probably worrying, trying to find out where the heck we lovely ladies are." Mimi suggested, smiling widely.

"Yeah, we better." Replied Sora, a small smile on her lips.

Inside, she had two questions nagging her. One: Why cared she so much what Matt felt of her and two, she wondered what she was going to do between the two boys.

Mimi stood first, offering a hand to help her friend up. Sora accepted. They gradually got on their way, deciding to bathe in the sunlight and nice weather for a bit more, figuring that the others could bear to wait just a bit longer.

"Next time you decide to run out... give me some time to call a taxi first. Soccer, I may have to join it, just to talk to you. Do you see my hair?!" Sora couldn't help it, genuinely laughing freely, the two friends continuing along their way back.
