I'm Okay- Chapter 4
He felt so warm. He had no idea where he was but at the moment he didn't really care. He felt so right here. He felt as if he belonged here. wherever here was. His eyes fluttered open revealing his groggy cerulean blue eyes. He looked into the face of his best friend and everything came flooding back. He following her home, seeing her get abused by her father, and falling asleep in her arms. He let out a frustrated sigh. Why hadn't she said anything? Didn't she trust him? He felt angry with himself for not noticing anything before. For not paying close enough attention to her as he should have been. He felt he failed her as a friend. He lifted his head a little and glanced outside her window. It was dark outside meaning it was probably very late. He turned his attention back to the pretty redheaded girl who had stolen his heart. His icy blue eyes lingered on her face. She looked so sad even in her sleep but past all those depressing emotions her face held while she slept she seemed to be peaceful as well. He also couldn't help but notice other various bruises on her face that were obviously not made from today. He felt so angry not only with himself for not being able to help her but at her father as well. He had caused her so much pain. How could someone live with themselves and cause so much pain to someone as innocent as her. He couldn't help but feel the tears collecting in the back of his eyes. He brought his hand up to her face and his fingers brushed softly against her cheek. He pulled his hand away immediately as her face scrunched up in pain. Her eyes snapped open and she seemed surprised as she noticed Yamato.
"Yamato?" She whispered her voice was soft and raspy from her sleep.
"Yeah its me Sor." He tried to sound calm. He really did, but his voice seemed to fail him as it cracked. A lonely tear made its way down his cheek. Sora couldn't help but let out a small gasp.
"Yamato. Are you crying?" She brought her hand up to cup his face. She lowered her chin so they were eye to eye. Her question was confirmed when she saw the tears in his eyes getting ready to fall. She brushed the lonely tear away with her thumb. "Yamato please don't cry for me." She pleaded. She hated seeing people cry let alone Yamato.
"Sora." He chocked, "Why did you let this happen? Why didn't you tell the police? Or Taichi. Or me? Oh god Sora why?!?"
"Yamato please." She stammered slightly. She closed her eyes shut tight to stop the tears from coming but before she knew it she burst into tears. She buried her face into the pillow and cried into it. Yamato pulled her gently from the pillow and embraced her tightly. His hand rubbed her back in a soothing manner while she cried her heart out unto his shoulder. After a while she finally settled down and her tears had stopped. Her chin rested on his shoulder and she stared absent mindly into the darkness of her room. She just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of being in his arms. She felt so safe where she was. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and took in a deep shaky breath. Her eyes reopened and that's when she finally noticed her window and how dark it was outside. She pulled away quickly from the embrace.
"Yamato! It's late! I think you should be getting home no-" He cut her off. "And leave you here all alone with that monster?!? I don't think so!" He placed her small delicate hands in his own and gave them a squeeze. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "I can't Sora. I just can't." The way his warm breath cascaded down her neck was just too much for Sora. He was creating feelings in her that she never knew existed.
"Yama please! I'll get into more trouble if you stay!" She gave him a pleading look. His mind was racing with millions of thoughts. He couldn't just leave her here. What if she got hurt again? What if she got killed? He didn't want to risk it. "No!" he said more firmly. She glared at him and was about to respond when they heard the front door open and shut close. Sora's head had snapped towards her door and her eyes were wide with fear. If her father caught her with a guy in her room she would be killed for sure and maybe Yamato as well. "Please!" Her voice and her eyes seemed to be begging him. He couldn't believe he was going to agree to leaving her here. But he knew it was true that if she was caught with him in her room she would be in more trouble. "Fine." He mumbled. Sora nodded as in thank you and she got up hurriedly.
"Come on. " She whispered quickly, " You should go out the window. It's pretty safe and you wont get caught." She lifted her window open. He nodded and stepped though the window unto the roof. Before he left he cupped her face with his hand and whispered "I'll come back to get you. I promise you! Even if it's the last thing I do. Be careful Sor. Promise me you'll be careful around him?" "I promise!" She whisper softly. He leaned towards her and gave her a small peck on the cheek. He gave her a sad yet still heart- melting smile and disappeared into the darkness of the outside world. She couldn't help but blush madly even at the circumstances of the situation. She closed her window shut. Her body went rigid as she heard footsteps climb up the stairs. She stood frozen on the spot as her breathing became short ragged gasps. She tried to calm herself by taking a long deep breath but that didn't seem to help one bit. Sora's eyes widened in fear and she began to tremble afraid of what was behind that door as the doorknob began to twist. The door creaked opened to reveal.

"I'm OK" Once upon a time there was a girl In her early years she had to learn How to grow up living in a war that she called home Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room Hoping it would be over soon
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday And I'm OK
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more" Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
It's not so easy to forget All the lines you left along her neck When I was thrown against cold stairs And every day I'm afraid to come home In fear of what I might see there
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday And I'm OK I'm OK
