The Key to my Heart

Chapter Five

Day: 28

Sora's POV
I was just taking a stroll around, looking for Riku. Today is the day when I tell Riku what I'm feeling. Maybe he feels the same way? Then I found him standing behind a wall talking, but who is he talking too? I didn't wanna disturb him so I hid on the other side of the wall and listened closely. "I still have 2 days!! Don't rush me!" Riku yelled. Then I couldn't hear what else they were saying. Then there was a long silence.
Then I heard foot steps coming my way. I started to walk fast away. "Sora?" Rikus voice asked. I turned to look at him awkwardly. "H-Hi Riku..." I said in a voice like I wasn't doing anything. He walked closer to me till he got really close. I swallowed hard. "W-what was that about?" I asked. He stopped a little in front of me. He looked confused. "Who were you talking too?" I asked. He looked away. "No one." He said harsh. He started to walk away, but I grabbed his wrist stopping him from moving. He didn't look back at me. "What do you mean by 'I still have 2 days?' 2 days? Till what?" I asked. He shook his head. "Nothing." He said. "Why won't you tell me!" I asked. He got away from my grip and started to walk away. But I ran after him. I stood in front of him, stopping him from his tracks. "Riku. What does it mean?" I asked softly. He looked down. "I can't tell you Sora..." he said. Then I got mad. "Why can't you?!" I said madly. "I just can't." He said. "I thought we were friends! Friends tell each other things!" I yelled. "Look at me!" I yelled. He looked at me. "I wish I could tell you Sora but I can't." He said. I glared at him. "Fine!!" I yelled at him. Then I ran away to my room and slammed the door.

Am I over reacting?? Maybe I am... I started to feel bad, I got tears in my eyes. I ran to my bed and plopped on it and cried. Then I whispered to myself "So much for telling him how I feel..."

Riku's POV
I sat alone on the tree stump, looking sadly at the water. Tears falling down my cheeks. I don't usually cry, but I hate when me and Sora get in fights. I wanted to tell him how I feel, but I haven't found the right time... and now that he's mad at me, there probably won't be a time before my 10 days are up. I sighed sadly. I pulled a paopu fruit out from behind my back. I looked at it sadly. I thought about sharing it with Sora, but then that thought quickly went away. Another tear fell down my cheek.

Sora's POV
I got a knock on my door. "Go away!" I yelled. "It's me! Kairi!" I shot my head up and whipped my tears away and sniffled. "I-I I'm busy right now..." I yelled. Then my door opened slowly and she walked in. I hid my face in my pillow. She came and sat down beside me. I was laying down on my stomach. "Sora what happened?" She asked sadly. "N-Nothing..." I said sadly. She rubbed my back, comforting me. "Something happen with Riku?" She asked. "How'd you know?" I asked. "I know you." She said. I sat up and looked at her with tears smeared all over my face and my hair a mess.
"You know... You guys always get in fights, it gets me thinking..." She said. "Oh no." I said. She gave me a playful glare. "Why don't you guys just date?" She asked. My mouth dropped. "What?? Psh... He doesn't... I don't... Like him..." I said awkwardly. She just looked at me like she knew I was lying. I sighed and gave up. "It's not like he even likes me back." I said sadly. "Come on Sora. You can't tell me you haven't noticed the signs!" She said. I looked down. "Like all those times when you guys were kids." She said. I took a minute to remember a time when we were kids...

( Flash back)

Me and Riku were laying down on my bed laying on our backs, holding hands. "Riku? What is love?" I asked. "How should I know? I never loved anyone yet." He said. I frowned. "I thought you loved me!" I said, turning to lay on my side, still holding his hand. He also turned to face me. "I do love you Sora. Never forget that." He said. He brought his face close to mine and kissed me on the cheek. "I love you too Riku." I said.

I looked up at Kairi. "I remember! When we were kids he said he loved me!" I yelled happily. She smiled. "See?" She said. Then my happiness turned into sadness. "But we were kids. At least 9 or 10..." I said. "That wasn't that long ago! You're what... 14 or 13 right now? He must still love you." She said. I shook my head. "Maybe not. He probably forgot." I said sadly. "Like when he was 11 he dated Selphie." I said. "Maybe he was in the closet at the time? And maybe he still is?" She said. I sighed. "Maybe..." I said. "But even if I wanted to tell him how I feel, I can't. We got in a fight." I said. She patted me on the back. "You guys will make up. Trust me." She said.
