Disclaimer: Bah. Everyone already knows I'm not Square-Enix. I don't own the song "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson or "The Great Escape" by Boys Like Girls either!

Note: I actually got the title/storyline of this story from my chemistry teacher ! LOL.


XXOXX

Once In A Blue Moon- I was drunk; you were perfectly sober

XXOXX


She held a tissue in one hand and a carton of melted Ben and Jerry's double chocolate fudge in the other. She laid on the locked marble bathroom floor, crying her eyes out. She was wearing her high school prom dress- that magically still fit- thinking about what exactly love was.

Webster's dictionary said "an intense feeling of deep affection or fondness for a person or thing; great liking."

Her dictionary said "being engaged to the person who was most precious to you and then losing him to your best friend."

The cold bathroom floor was now damp and humid from the body heat she was giving. Her hair was up in a big sloppy bun, and her mascara was running down her cheeks. She was shivering- not from the coldness outside, not from the ice cream on a cold winter day, but from her heart. How was such great pain even possible? She hated herself; maybe if she was more prettier, more skinnier, more perfect he wouldn't have left. He wouldn't have cancelled the engagement. He wouldn't tear her up into pieces.

Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Kairi took her ipod and replayed it over. For the fifty-eighth time now. Yes, she was counting. How did Kelly Clarkson wrap up her feelings, her emotions, so well with a simple three minute song? This song really dug through deep into Kairi's emotions- this...this was how she was feeling. Everything was because of him...

If Kairi wasn't such a coward, she would hurt herself. She would cut herself to ease the pain...maybe even throw up all the ice cream that tasted like mud she just binged on. How was she going to get rid of all this pain without killing herself on the way?

She mustered up all strength she had left in her body to stand up and look at herself in the mirror. She was a mess- her red hair was crumpled in a bun, which was now deformed and made her look like Medusa instead. Her perfect prom dress was now tainted with blotches of brown, and smelled between a mixture of chocolate and moth balls. Her usually sparkling blue eyes were now dull, with mascara and eyeliner running down them.

She knew what she would do. She would clean herself up, make herself as slutty as possible, and go out to a bar. Then she would get drunk and have the time of her life. She would try to forget about them and have fun. She would try not to care. She would finally lose her virginity- something she had been saving for that two-faced bastard. She would enjoy every minute of it.

"T-t-take t-that R-R-Roxas!" she whispered furiously into the mirror.


"And..." Riku said, looking at his planner.

"My god! Shut up already!" Sora snapped. "You just told me my whole schedule for the next YEAR, you realize that?!" he flipped around his wheelie chair and looked at Riku angrily in the eye.

"You shut up!" Riku growled back, his sea green eyes staring right back at Sora's cerulean one. "I'm sorry everyone wants to see you. I'm sorry you're a multi-millionaire. And I'm sooo sorry that you have a gazillion fans out there because living in a huge penthouse and getting all the girls you want is SO hard, right?"

"You're mocking me!" Sora angrily yelled." If you weren't my high school best friend, ohhh. Ohhh, you would've been fired ages ago."

"DUDE! If you weren't MY high school buddy, I would've QUIT ages ago!"

"My god! Just shut up, okay? I had a really rough day today. I don't need you PMSing all over the place."

"Look who's talking." Riku snorted.

"You know what? Just call the driver. I'm going out for a drink. Get me my sunglasses."

"You have a meeting today, genius." Riku said, looking back at his planner to confirm it.

"Tell it to the press." Sora said, picking up his cell phone and wearing his usual chain-crown necklace. It was his signature; he never went anywhere without it. There were a lot of bootlegged copies of it but his was unique because there was a mark that nobody knew of- the initials A.G. on the back of his necklace.

"B...but..." Riku protested. Although he hated Sora with a burning passion, he did care about Sora's career. After all, Sora was the only friend Riku ever had in high school.

"Want to grab a drink with me?"


Kairi stared miserably at the apple martini in front of her. She dared not to drink it; for fear that she would start to get addicted. The whole bar was a big unentertaining riot; there was a couple next to her passionately making out, some strange fifty year old man kept staring at her, occasionally winking from time to time, and more than half of the people there were already wasted. There was a dancing corner to her left where the drunks were trying to keep their balance but failed miserably. The whole place smelled like a mixture of beer, sweat, and throw up.

The bartender noticed Kairi's untouched drink and smiled.

"Is this your first time here?" he asked her. She flipped around, and nodded.

"Yeah...how did you know?" she curiously asked.

"Well, first of all, it's the way you're dressed."

"The way...I'm dressed?" she questioned. She looked down at herself- she was wearing a pink dress with a lot of zippers. It came up to her knees- wasn't that slutty enough?

"If you're a regular here you'd just be dressed simply in a jean and a t-shirt. After all, you don't want good clothes to get dirty right?"

Well excuse her for being inexperienced.

Kairi rolled her eyes and looked back at her drink.

"I guess..."

"Well, are you going to drink it or just stare at it all day?"

"I..." Kairi started hesitantly, unsure what she was going to say.

"Have fun for once in your life; life is short! Live it to the fullest!"

"I don't know...I have work tomorrow..." she started.

"I don't want to enforce you into it but it really does wash away all your pain or stresses which is why you came here in the first place I believe."

God, he was good. So she drank the poisoned drink...it burned down her throat. It was sweet, bitter, and dangerous. She loved it. She drank another glass. And then another.

Then she just couldn't stop.


Sora's eyes diverted around the bar. The whole place was dim so his glasses were off.

"This place sucks." Sora announced.

"Just because you didn't find any girls to your liking it doesn't mean that this place sucks. Besides, this place is very famous for their drinks. Once you start, you can't stop. That's what the reviews say anyways."

"Whatever. Can you go and stop stalking me now?"

"I'm your BODYGUARD." Riku reminded him.

"Yeah, like someone is going to try to kill me here." Sora snorted.

"You never know." Riku calmly replied back.

Sora was such an ass these days; he really needed a girl to show him who's boss. But of course, a guy like Sora had picky tastes. He even refused to sing love songs(yes, he was surprisingly a singer) until he found the right girl. Playing hard to get just made the fan girls more attracted him, and in a few months he was the hottest thing alive. According to most girls anyways.

Riku looked around the bar too. He was right. Most of the girls had on slutty outfits and the ones that actually looked decent was already with a guy. Everyone was drunk, so Sora's identity would be kept safe. Riku turned to his left and saw quite an interesting sight- a red-haired girl wobbling her way around the tables. Her cheeks were bright red and she looked totally wasted. Although she had a dumb look on her face, Riku could tell that she was a gorgeous girl. She was wearing a tight pink dress that fit her body perfectly. Her crystal blue eyes were emphasized with carefully applied eyeliner and her straight cherry red hair cascaded down her milky white shoulders.

"She's hot." Sora was the first to say.

Shit! He had noticed her too. That automatically meant that she was his.

"Yeah..." Riku agreed, a little pissed off.

"And she's coming this way. Ha! I'm going to go up to her." Sora declared, as he walked towards the auburn headed jewel.

"Good luck." Riku flatly replied, not meaning it at all.


Kairi wobbled her way around the crowded tables, clinging on tightly to the random polls she found. She was struggling to stay in balance but failed and crashed into a few tables. They cursed her out. But she didn't care; she didn't care about anything anymore! Nobody could break the mood she was in right then- she was drunk; she knew it. But if felt awesome; she had no care in the world and she was doing something she wanted to do all her life- HAVE FUN! She laughed at the man who whispered to her, "psychotic bitch". Ha, what did HE know about psychotic bitches? She was an expert at them; after all, her best friend was one of them.

Kairi continued walking through the crowded bar not sure where she was going. She fell over a beer bottle, and waited to feel the intense pain of falling smack down on her butt.

Instead she found herself standing straight up; looking right into the gorgeous eyes of...

"A HOT HUNK!" Kairi screamed. "I FOUND A HOT HUNK! HA! I KNEW IT! TAKE THAT, ROXAS! TAKE THAT, NAMINE!

Sora looked absolutely amused. He smiled cocky smile and looked at the crazy yet beautiful girl in front of him.

"You find me hot, huh?" Sora asked, very, very pleased.

"YES! YOU ARE SEXYYYY!!" Kairi declared, holding onto him. What the hell was wrong with her? She was always calm and collected! She was Kairi!

She looked up at him, once again to see his amazing features. God, he was really hot. Even if she wasn't drunk she would've thought the same- he had those amazing eyes, that amazing white skin, and that spiky hair...he looked like Roxas.

"ARGH! ARE YOU GOING TO DITCH ME FOR MY BEST FRIEND TOO?! HUH?!" she angrily asked, sounding totally different than the giggly voice she just had. She lightly pushed his chest. "Huh?"

"Uh...no?" he asked, not really sure of what to say.

"OKAY! GOOD!" she replied, smiling furiously again. She was really pretty when she smiled; drunk or not. He just wanted to take her and...

But before his hormones got to him, he found his face locked into her hands. She took his face and kissed his lips lightly.

"YOU'RE SO CUTEE!!" she gushed excitedly. She looked at his now-furiously blushing again; he looked so familiar! She shook the thought off. It was probably since he looked so much like Roxas, and Roxas was the last thing she ever wanted to think about in this point of her life.

Sora's face turned tomato red and he started to fidget with his necklace- a nasty habit of his whenever he was nervous.

Kairi noticed this and took the necklace off his neck. She put it around her own neck, grinning up at a shocked Sora.

"Hey! That's my necklace!" Sora said, his hands on his waist. His voice was whining but his eyes were full of spark.

"I'm not giving it back! This means you're officially mine!"

"Give it back!" Sora said, not really meaning what he said. For once in his life, he was having fun- with someone who was too drunk to know who he was.

"Try and make me!" she challenged. Sora's grin turned wider as he raised up an eyebrow.

"Hm...will you give it back if you surrender?" he asked.

"IF I surrender!" Kairi confidentially said, before she got attacked by the mighty hands of Sora's long fingers. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! S-STOP!! It-It tickles!" she stammered. "I-I-"

"You surrender?" Sora triumphantly asked. She stared at him with deep serious eyes.

"NO!" she finally replied. She laughed, as she ran as far away from him as possible.

"MAYBE IF YOU CATCH ME!"

Sora laughed, as he ran after her. He felt like he was back in second grade-- but he enjoyed every minute of it.


Riku watched as he saw Sora having the time of his life-- with the girl HE saw first! Why did everyone chose Sora over himself? It just wasn't fair. Was it his silvery long hair? His overly-toned body? Maybe it was the fact that he was just a lame bodyguard/manager with no talent. He sighed as he sipped his Bloody Mary. He looked around-- wait. He flipped back. Was that auburn haired girl running towards him?

He squinted his eyes. It was dim in the room and he couldn't really see well. It was her!

She came full speed at to him, tightly holding a necklace...wait. Was that Sora's necklace?

Kairi went towards Riku, and looked at him pleadingly.

"Help me! This hot guy is after me; he wants my necklace!!" she whined.

Riku raised his eyebrows. Okay...weird...

"Uhm...how can I assist you with that?" Riku politely asked.

"LET ME HIDE BEHIND YOU!" she smiled. "YEAH! By the way, did I mention? YOU'RE PRETTY SMOKING AS WELL!"

Riku looked shocked. His wide-opened mouth soon turned into a big smile. "Really?"

"YEAH! Don't people ever--"

"BOO!" Sora yelled, pushing Kairi right into Riku.

"AH!" she screamed in shock. "AHAHA ! You finally found me!" she looked up at the one who caught her. "Thank you other hot guy for catching me! Whoot! I'm on a roll today!"

Sora looked at Riku funnily but then diverted his attention back to Kairi. "But I'm hotter, right?" he asked.

"OF COURSE!" she nodded. "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S MINE, REMEMBER?"

Sora looked at Riku like he had just won a gold medal. Riku winced.

A familiar tune started to play in the bar just then, and Kairi looked at Sora.

"OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS SONG!" she excitedly said. "LET'S GO UP AND SING! SING WITH ME!"

"No!" Sora immediately said. If anyone found out that he was at a bar the company would kill him.

"COME ON!!" she whined. "PLEASE!! PLEASE!!" she begged. She looked at him with the best puppy-eyes she could make with her clogged mind.

"Ugh..." he looked around. Nobody was really paying attention, right? "Fine..."

They both stood on top of the bar tables, shouting their lungs out.

"THROW IT AWAY! FORGET YESTERDAY! WE'LL MAKE THE GREAT ESCAPE! WE WON'T HEAR A WORD THEY SAY; THEY DON'T KNOW US ANYWAYS!!"

Kairi screamed out. She jumped on the tables, ignoring the looks some people gave her. She was seriously having the time of her life. "WATCH IT BURN! LET IT DIE! 'CUZ WE ARE FINALLY FREE TONIGHTTTTT!!"

Kairi dropped the mike and flung herself onto Sora. He supported her up, looking at her. He was really having a lot of fun too, more than he did in the whole year of his boring star world.

"Are you going to give me back my necklace now?" he whispered in her ear. She looked up and him and giggled. She took the necklace off of her neck and held it tightly in her hand. She then held open her shirt and dropped the necklace into her bra.

"There. Get it there." she told him, laughing at him. Her eyes sparkled in entertainment.

"Oh." he raised his eyebrows, looking at her with an amused face. "You think I'm not going to try, huh?"

"I'd like to see you try!"

Before he could think about paparrazi's or what the press was going to say if they found out or about his career, he dug his hand into her bra and fished out his necklace.

"OH MY GOD!" Kairi screamed in amusement. "NO YOU DIDN'T!"

"I just did." he smiled.

"You're so brave..." she mumbled. "I like that...I like you! I think you should take my virginity! It's about time I lost it anyways!"

Sora looked at her with a pleased look on his face.

"I like you too..." he bashfully admitted. "I think you should take my virginity too."

"HA! YOU LIAR! A HOT GUY LIKE YOU CAN'T BE A VIRGIN!"

"A pretty girl like you can't be one either." he pointed out.

"I was saving it for a 'special someone'." she calmly replied. "And I'm not pretty. I'm pretty darn fugly-- why else would Roxas have left me then, huh?"

"Maybe because he's blind." Sora said. Before she could say something back, he passionately kissed her-- not the little baby kisses that she gave to him earlier. But a deep, passionate kiss. And that was enough to set her on fire.

The rest of the day was blurry.

But she did know this-- she lost her virginity to someone with no name.

And that she was insanely drunk and he was perfectly sober.


Author's Note: Oh my, Kairi is a big slut when she's drunk isn't she? LOL. I just needed to write this story...I've made so much new ones...I really should work on my other ones. But nahhh. I'm kind of having a writer's block with "A Day to Remember". Lols. I mean, I know what to write about next; I just don't know how to put it into a story. Sigh.

I wrote this in a rush and I didn't check it over with Microsoft Word...please do tell me if there were any errors so I can fix them.

What exactly is a beta reader and where can I find one?

But anyways. There's the first chapter of "Once In A Blue Moon"!

Review please! Thank you so much.
