Here is the second chapter. Enjoy. I do not own anything. That is Square Enix and Disney. :D
The next morning was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping…. Nah, just kidding. Kairi was not a morning person in the slightest. She thought 11:00 A.M was too early. Good luck trying to wake her up earlier than that. You might have better luck at winning the lottery before you could get that girl to wake up. She just didn't understand why people were morning people. She could understand if they had somewhere to be, like school or work, but people who woke up early just because? Well, that always baffled her. Why would people do such a thing? She thought to herself. She absolutely hated going to school, because that required her actually having to get up at the crack of dawn. At the beginning of her Sophomore year, Kairi begged her parents to home school her, just so she didn't have to wake up early. They couldn't really say no, all things considering, so she's been home schooled ever since and she loved every minute of it.
She didn't have to deal with the annoying teachers and drama that every high school had. She wouldn't miss having seven classes in one day, or the crappy lunches that they got away with serving. She would miss her Senior Prom, but she didn't really care about that. Who would want to have the "sick" girl as a date anyways? No one, she thought. It's not like anyone had to know, but still. She would think they would only ask her out of pity, not because they actually liked her and wanted to show her off to their friends, but because they felt sorry for her.
Story of my life.
She always felt like that. Like, people were only doing nice things for her because they felt sorry for her. She hasn't told that many people, but the ones she did tell always seemed to be overly nice to her. She even thought her mom let her get away with things that people her age shouldn't, just because she was sick. She loved her mom with all her heart. She worked three jobs, and she still had time to set dinner on the table every night. She was a single mother who was great at being both Kairi's mom and dad. Kairi always thought her mother worked too hard and that she should take a break. Kairi tried to tell her one time, but her mother insisted that it was okay; that she was doing this all for her. Kairi didn't want that. She didn't want to be the reason her mom worked three jobs, but her mom wouldn't listen to her. Well, at least she tried, right? Kairi always wanted to grow up to be just like her mother, but now she wouldn't grow up to be anybody. No one would remember her when her time came, no one would even care. She would be known as the "girl who bit it to cancer."
No, that's crazy. A lot of people would miss her, and a lot of people would remember her; especially her best friends Sora and Riku, and her mother of course. It was in this moment she realized….
I still have to tell them.
She was scared what they were going to say and how they were going to react to the news. Her, Sora, and Riku have been best friends for as long as she could remember. She moved to Destiny Islands when she was a little girl and they became friends instantly. Don't tell Riku this, but she secretly liked Sora. Like, "like" like. As in, more than a friend. Good luck with getting her to tell him, because really, what was the point? She wouldn't be around long enough for them to become anything serious. She would never be able to marry him, or have his kids. She would never be able to grow old with anyone. What's the point in telling him now?
Kairi sighed and started to remember her dream from last night. She shuddered at the thought of Sora saying those things to her. Then she laughed at herself. Sora would never say anything like that, and he would never lay a hand on her. He didn't have a mean bone in his body.
Riku, on the other hand…. Well, he was Riku. Tough, muscular, attitude. Yup, that about sums it up. Never get on his bad side. Kairi has never seen his bad side, but Sora warned her that he can be pretty scary when he's mad. Even if she did make him mad, he would never lay a hand on her or say mean things. He would just most likely ignore her for a few days. Kairi was one of the few people that Riku could actually stand to be around. And Sora of course. They were the three best friends that anyone could have. Nothing could separate them. Oh, wait…. Never mind.
Kairi sighed again and got out of bed and decided to take a nice warm shower. This is the place where she really did all her thinking. That's why she always took long showers. Well, and the warm water of course.
After about thirty minutes Kairi deiced to get out. She was dressed in some cute shorts, and a crop top. (Yeah, I didn't feel like going into detail, haha). Kairi was a pretty girl. She was 5'3, long auburn red hair, tan skin, violet eyes, and some freckles here and there.
After getting ready Kairi decided to send Sora a text. She decided that she wanted to tell Sora first. Telling him would be the hardest, and she just wanted to get it out of the way.
"Here goes nothing…." She just sat there with his name popped up on her screen.
"Come on Kairi, you can do this" she said to herself. Kairi rubbed her hands on her knees nervously and started to breath in and out. God dammit, why am I so scared?!
Okay, let's try this again.
Hey Sora! You better not be sleeping on the beach again. You'll get a sunburn ;-) –K
Ha Ha Ha, aren't you so funny. But no, I'm awake! What's up buttercup? –S
I'd like to think I'm quite hilarious. I should have my own stand up. Are you busy right now?-K
Stand up? Don't get too full of yourself now :P And no, I'm not busy. Want to meet up on the beach?-S
Meanie! And yes, I would like to meet up with you on the beach :-)-K
Me, mean? You must have me confused with Riku! ….I just looked over my shoulder and Riku was there! Ouch, my cheek hurts. –S
Riku is with you?-K
Yeah, is it okay if he comes with me?-K
Kairi thought about this for a moment.
Actually, do you mind coming alone? I wanted to tell you something.-K
Okay, yeah. That's fine. I'll just tell him I'm going for a walk-S
Okay,cool. See you in 5?-K
See you in 5 :)-S
Kairi ran her fingers through her hair and sighed.
Well this is it. I'm going to tell Sora that I have cancer.
….
…..
….
…..
This should be fun.
I hope you enjoyed! I wonder how this talk with Sora will go down? Stay tuned to find out! Reviews would be great! Thanks. Oh, and by the way, Kairi is 18!
I also want to thank Key of Destiny4ever for leaving reviews on this story and for favoriting it! That means a lot to me, so thank you! You're so sweet. Well until next time!
