All right folks. Don't flame me for this one if you don't like it. It came to me in a dream (I'm dead serious about that) so blame the dream maker. And I do NOT own Digimon! Okay, so, TK and Kari are 12 and everyone else is 15. Tai and Sora are dating and Matt and Mimi are dating.
Matt's POV
Even after I started dating Mimi, I still had some loneliness left in my soul. I never knew how to get that out.
"Hey Matt, Mimi! Watch this!" cried TK as he dove off the diving board into Mimi's pool. Mimi had invited us over and TK was practicing his diving.
"That's great TK! Keep up the good work!" I shouted back to him. His head popped up from the water as he showed me how proud he was for doing it. Then he swam back to the diving board. Mimi and me were sitting in her lawn chairs talking about things.
"Mimi, what do you think dieing feels like?" I asked her. She turned her head, put down her sunglasses and looked at me as if I asked her if the most obvious thing in the world was true. Then she turned back to her position and put up her sunglasses.
"I suppose it might feel okay, depending on how you die, but once you're dead, you don't have to suffer the pain, and in heaven, no one feels alone. Why?"
"I don't know." I paused looking at the sky. "No one feels alone…" I repeated.
"Are you not happy here? Is there something I should know? If I'm not helping then I suppose…"
"No Mimi, it's not anyone else that's making me feel alone. I just have an empty space inside of me that I don't know how to fill."
"Do you know who can?"
"Only God knows, Mimi. Only God." I whispered. Mimi looked at me, this time with sympathy.
The next day…
I was walking to the high school thinking about what Mimi had said about dieing. I might like to die, it sounds peaceful. I just will leave behind my friends and…Mimi. Oh, now I don't know what I want to do! I thought. I finally got to the high school. Everyone was outside waiting for the first bell. When it rang, a red mustang drove by with a machine gun hanging out the window. It started shooting. The entire neighborhood filled with screams as the high scholars jumped to the ground for cover. I didn't have time to do that before a bullet shot me in the back. I had never felt so much pain in my entire life. I started screaming non-stop until the world slowly blacked out.
I woke up in a hospital room seeing all my friends crowding around my bed. TK was sobbing into the bed sheets, Kari was trying to comfort him; Mimi was sitting on the bed holding my hand, while everyone else was just glad that I woke up.
"Guys, tell me, what did the doctors say, about me living." I asked. As I spoke, I noticed my breathing was heavier, and my heart was pumping slowly. TK cried even harder, Kari started crying too. Mimi stared at the floor while Sora was comforting her. Joe started adjusting his glasses, Izzy started studying the flowers next to my bed. Then Tai spoke.
"He doesn't think you'll make it through the night Matt. You're lucky that it wasn't instant death, or we wouldn't be able to say good-bye."
"They caught the shooter, and he's in court as we speak" Izzy informed me.
"He'll probably be guilty." added Joe.
"Thanks guys, you're the best friends anyone can have. I'll be happy when I die if you all keep in mind that I won't be alone up there."
"That makes me feel better Matt, that you'll not be alone anymore." whispered Mimi through light tears.
I smiled at Mimi. That smiled faded with one last sigh as I felt my heart stop, and the world faded from me, leaving my soul behind.
