Kairi nodded slightly, opening her eyes to look at the wall ahead of her. "I understand," she said softly. So it had been the light in her heart that caused her to be so easily fooled? She didn't think that was going to be a problem anymore. Her heart was shattered, after all. The darkness had finally gotten to her.
Life After You - Daughtry
Herself and her friends?
"I guess," Kairi answered then, not seeing any other way around the question. She knew that her feelings toward Nathaniel must have kept her from believing anything negative of him, and she supposed that by the way Sora dodged directly answering her question, he believed the same thing. But she also wanted to hear what an outside source had to say about it, regardless of how hard it was for her.
It's the worst feeling in the world, huh? When you know you can't help somebody? =/
Kairi closed her eyes, taking in a breath to control the urge to cry at the memory. "...I was blind, wasn't I?" she asked then, her voice quiet in fear of the answer. The Nathan she had known, he was sweet to her and always treated her well. She didn't understand how so much darkness could have been behind that.
Rest - Nevertheless <3
Have either of you said anything to this girl?
Kairi didn't say anything after that, pressing her lips together to try and keep back her emotions. Sora was so willing to dismiss it, but she wasn't; she had done a terrible thing, but then again, she had been tricked into it... No. There was no excuse. She went into that relationship with her own free will; there was no reason to pin her betrayal on that.
Well, I don't know this girl and how she is, but to me it sounds like she's desperate... You know?
"Maybe," Kairi started softly, "but I've waited a year before." She knew she had broken a very special bond with Sora by giving Nathaniel her heart, and it hurt her deeply to recognize that. And to realize a few other things. "I...betrayed you, Sora. I betrayed your trust and loyalty. I hurt you, and...Nathaniel hurt me," she continued, realizing how hard it was to speak his name. "A broken heart for a broken heart..."
Sing Along - Sixteen Cities
That stinks. I know somebody like that; unfortunately we don't get along. =/ It's how things go.
Kairi pressed her lips together at the words, nodding slightly. "Yes. Unfortunately, we do," she confirmed, her voice soft in the quiet living room. She wasn't sure what emotion was coming through in Sora's voice, or her own, and she didn't want to bother thinking about it. Kairi wanted to forget a lot of things that happened, but she knew that in order to do that, she had to overcome them. She didn't want to do that either, but she knew she had to.
Seems like she's a little paranoid. =/
Kairi's hands fumbled with the ties on her lounge pants, and she watched them in the silence. She knew that she was the one that needed to start the conversation, since she wanted to talk in the first place. But she really was unsure of what to say. Sora had gone through a lot, and so had she. Kairi didn't want to make things worse.
I figured. =/ I really am sorry. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly did she say? Of course, if you're still offended and don't want to...
Kairi nodded at the boy in front of her and moved to sit back down beside him once he took the items from her hands. She lowered herself to the couch, tucking some of her hair behind her ear and moving her bangs out of her eyes. However, she focused forward, giving Sora his privacy as he took care of himself.
That's terrible. =( I'm sorry.
Kairi wordlessly moved her enclosed fist toward Sora and opened her hand, offering him the two pills that were resting on her palm. It was best to relieve what pain was worse, and that was Sora's. Hers would have to wait.
