( This story goes on after Myotismon's heir and it's a kind of 'what if' story. I kinda like Davis's character in most of my stories, and the way he's been interacting with Cass. So I asked myself, could there ever be more between Davis and Cass? Here's the answer. )
I think I love you (Part 1): The break ups
( Davis's POV )
Last night had been the worst night of my life. I had gone over to Yolei's house when she asked me over the phone thinking she wanted to hang out, and for a while, we did. But then we sat down on her balcony, and she started off by saying we had to talk, and then ended it with ' I hope we can still be friends '. If that doesn't make it clear enough, I spell it out for you, Yolei dumped me.
I hadn't seen it coming. I mean, I knew she went to Ken's soccer practices when we don't go to the digital world now, but I just thought it was as friends. She'd been going out with him for a week now, and she wanted me to forgive her. I hadn't said a word, just walked out of her apartment, feeling as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. Why hadn't I seen it before? She was spending all of her free time with Ken, and that meant less time for me, but I hadn't seen it coming. Yolei had blindsided me with this news. I wanted so bad to cry as I left her standing there on that balcony, with her pleading me to talk to her, but I wouldn't let myself cry. I went home, ignored Jun's taunting questions, and hid in my room holding DemiVeemon. After about an hour, I finally told him what was going on. And he said he would come wit me to school tomorrow, so I wouldn't be alone all day.
Now it was lunchtime, and I had to find a place to sit. I couldn't sit with Yolei like I used to Ken was there. So I headed over to where Cody, TK, and Kari were sitting. I don't know if it was the solemn look on my face, or maybe the fact that Cody always seemed to be able to tell if I was okay, but he offered me a seat.
" Are you okay, Davis? ", Kari asked me softly. TK had his arm around her shoulders, and it reminded me of how I used to hold Yolei when we all hung out.
" How come you're not sitting with Yolei? ", Cody questioned.
" She's sitting with Ken. ", I stated plainly, stabbing at the noodles on my plate realizing that I wasn't very hungry. I pushed my plate away and let out my digimon so he could finish off my untouched meal. He pretty much inhaled it.
" But you're her boyfriend, Davis. You really should go sit with her. ", TK commented as if he knew everything about dating. " You were yesterday. "
" Yeah well, she's not with me anymore, TS. She and Ken have been dating for a week or so now and she broke it off with me last night. ", I remarked in a bitter tone as I blankly watched DemiVeemon eat my lunch.
The others gasped in shock, looking over at each other and then back at now. Cody out a comforting hand on my shoulder. " That's horrible, I'm sorry, Davis. "
" Yeah, we all knew how much you liked her. ", the bearer of Hope told me, his voice sincere and his blue eyes soft. I was beginning to think this was the nicest TK and Kari had ever been to me when suddenly we heard a familiar voice.
" Hey, guys, what's up? ", a blonde girl in a red skirt and black T-shirt greeted us as she gave us a beautiful smile. I instantly recognized her as Cass Sheroma, Matt Ishida's long time girlfriend. She was his age though, and was in a lot of his classes. What was she doing here with us at the junior high?
" Cass, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at your own school? ", Kari inquired giving her a warm smile. " They didn't bump you back did they? "
" Of course not. I'm here to speak for all of the eighth graders that are gonna graduate to high school next year. In fact, some of my classmates are here with me. I'm actually on my way to talk to another group right now, but I thought I'd stop by and say hi to all you guys. ", she grinned, and I couldn't help but notice the gleam in her green eyes. " Hey, Davis, can I talk to you really quick? "
I left DemiVeemon and the other Digidestined without a word and headed over to the other side of the lunchroom with Cass. She pulled me to just an ear's length away and whispered. " Yolei called me last night and told me everything that happened. Are you okay, Davis? I know that this had gotta hurt bad. "
" I realy cared about her and she just turns around and slams this in my face. We were together for two months, Cass. And now I find out for the past week she's been going behind my back with another guy! ", I said shaking my head as if I could wake up from all this. " And not just any guy, but Ken! "
" I know, I'm really sorry about this. If I had known sooner I would've told you about it. Yolei just wishes you had talked to her last night. ", she retorted, her tone gentle and very soothing. " When she called me she was sobbing her heart out. Yolei didn't mean for anything to happen between her and Ken, and when it did she didn't know how to tell you. She knew how much it would hurt you. "
" Yeah, and instead she put it of for a while and let me think I still had the perfect girlfriend all that time. If she realy cared she should've told me sooner. ", I implied, looking down at the floor, trying to hide the pain in my eyes.
Cass totally surprised me when she pulled me into a gentle hug. I know she's hugged me before, but those were, like, thank you hugs. It wasn't until after a minute that I finally hugged her back. I saw Yolei looking at me from across the cafeteria, and I could see in her eyes that she was hoping I saw her too. Trying not to look too angry, I looked the other way, and tried not to cry again.
" Thanks, Cass. You're a good friend. ", I told the blonde girl when she pulled away from me. Sheepishly she looked down at the floor, pulling a lock of her hair behind her ears and obviously trying not to bush at my comment.
" You're welcome, Davis. ", she whispered. " I know you would do the same for me right? You do have the digiegg of Friendship if I remember right. "

( Cass's POV )
After seeing Davis back to the lunch table, I headed to the classroom to give my little presentation. The day seemed to drag on until I went back to the high school and met up with Sora, Tai and Izzy for my last period. I told them about Davis's situation, and we all discussed it until the final bell rang.
Yamato was waiting at my locker for me like he is almost every day. He gave me a small kiss and wrapped his arms around my waist as we headed for home because his band didn't have practice tonight. On the way, I told him about Davis and Yolei. I know he and Davis aren't close friends, but they are in, a way teammates, and I thought he should know. He was very sympathetic.
We went to his apartment because it was closer, and my mom wouldn't want company tonight. He let me in setting his mail on the kitchen table. I surveyed the whole place and noticed that since Matt had started bringing me here he had been keeping the place a little cleaner. He headed over to the fridge. " You want anything to drink? We've got a lot of different stuff in here, ya know. "
" No thanks. I'm fine really. ", I assured him.
" You okay? ", Matt questioned me as he came back over to me, wrapping his arms slowly around my waist. His soft blue eyes locked with mine, and I just seemed to melt into his arms instantly as I snaked my arms to wrap around his neck. I sighed as he pulled me close and I just wanted to stay there forever.
" Yeah, I'm all right. I just think I want to sit down, and have your arms around me forever. ", I grinned at him, having to stare into his azure gaze.
" That could be arranged. ", Yamato sneered and lifted me off my feet. He carried me over to the couch while I had to giggle at the face he was making at me. He sat down with me in his lap, and I had to reach over and grab his face, kissing him passionately. It wasn't until I was about to pull away that he took a hold of the back of my head and held me there kissing me over and over.
I was enjoying it until he started to push me funny, and it was as if I was going to fall backwards off his lap and onto the floor. He felt that, and without pulling away from me he tried to pull me back up and we just got all tangled until I landed on my back on the couch and he was on top of me. I saw a blush creep across his face before someone pulled him to his feet by the back of his collar.
" What do you think you are doing? " It was his father, and he looked completely angry. There was a fierce look in his eyes and before Matt could reply, his Dad turned to me and said sternly. " Young lady, I think you should go. "
" But, Dad we weren't… ", his son started, but a silencing glare from Mr. Ishida made him stop instantly, and he mouthed the word ' Meet me in the park later. I promise, I'll be there, Just wait for me, Okay? '
I gave a slight nod as I headed to get my jacket. I swear my hands were shaking, and I could feel that man's angry eyes on me as I left. I really didn't want to leave Matt there with him, but I didn't have much choice. So I first headed home, to tell my mom I'd be out. Then I went to the park, to wait for him. I sat on a park bench, a place Matt and I went to a lot. In an hour, Yamato walked up to me, his face solemn and his eyes just couldn't seem to meet mine, no matter what I did.
" So how mad was he? ", I asked quietly, afraid of the silence.
He sighed and gestured for me to sit down next to him. He his hand over mine on his thigh, and he finally looked at me. I saw pain in his eyes. " I had to lie to even come here. I'm supposedly at TK's, and not coming back until he takes back what he said about you and me. He said he knew what he saw and he was not going to change his mind, and that his decision was final. The thing is Cass, what my Dad thinks he saw, he thinks we've been…. fooling around. "
" Didn't you explain to him… ", I started, but he cut me off.
" He wouldn't listen. And when I finally started to get through to him I think he freaked out that we might start to sooner or later, and then he said that…. If I didn't break up with you he'd send me to an all boys boarding school in America. ", he told me, now looking down at the ground. " He says if he catches us together, alone, or on the phone, I'm gone. And I think he's serious. "
" Matt, I don't want to get you in trouble. It's not worth getting you sent to America just to be together. We can still be friends, right? ", I replied, after a moment of letting it sink in. " And then I guess this is…. Good-bye. "
" God, Cass, I don't want it to be. You know I love you, right? ", Yamato demanded as he took my hands and pulled me a little closer. " If there's some way I can get my dad to trust me again, I'll do it. I'll find a way to be with you again, I promise you. I promised you nothing will come between us, and nothing will. "
" I know you love me, Matt. And I love you too. ", I whispered.
" I'm sorry. ", he rasped, tears in his eyes.

( Davis's POV )
I was just gonna go to bed when there was a knock on my bedroom door. My mom poked her head in and said, " Davis, there's someone here to see you. "
She then told me that they were waiting for me in the hallway of our apartment building, so I quickly got dressed and headed out to meet them. I saw her, holding her arms around herself with her green eyes all red and puffy from the tears she had running down her face. My heart melted and Cass threw her arms around me for comfort. I was stunned, but I didn't show it. " Cass what is it? "
" Do you remember what I told you today? About how I comforted you about Yolei and that I knew you would've done the same for me? ", she whispered softly through her tears. " I think I need that kind of help now, Davis! "
To be continued:
( Okay, I know it was probably cruel to leave it of here, not to mention what I did to the characters, but I liked working on it. Please review and tell me if I should continue! I was seriously nervous about putting this up, cause I know not everyone likes Davis, but I do! )
Please review! It only takes a minute, right?
