Chapter 1: Uso Mitaina Yakusoku Jannai

Matt Ishida; Mr. Popular, the lead vocalist and bassist of his very own band, constantly hounded by fangirls wherever he went. Nobody really knew Matt's secret, one that could very well mean the end of his career, for Matt Ishida was in love with the one person who could never feel the same way. His best friend, Tai Kamiya...

As Matt lay in his bed on a rainy summer day, his dad was in Akihabara for a summit, and he was stuck here a home with nobody but himself. Once more, he found himself staring at the pictures that had been taken before.before he and Tai began to grow distant. Arranged on the wall were picture frames of him and TK, sleeping under a tree when they were kids, the entire Digidestined team before the final goodbye to their partners, and 4 year-old Tai with his arms around a sleeping Matt, who had a scrape on his leg. Matt smiled, he remembered that day quite vividly...

"Wahhhhhhh!!!!"

He was really crying his eyes out because of the nasty fall, and their moms were nowhere around the park where they were playing.

"Aaw, Matt, stop crying, it's okay, I'm here, I always will be, promise..."

Tai said, trying to soothe the pain Matt was in, and he slowly stopped crying but proceeded to cling to Tai under the shade of the trees.

"Thanks... Tai..."

Matt stopped crying and pretty soon, he fell asleep. Both their moms soon came to the boys, who were sleeping contentedly. Mrs. Kamiya had brought a camera that day, and snapped a picture of the two boys in each other's arms. She'd given Matt a copy and both boys treasured the times they had together, times that were probably were never going to come back...

Matt's musings didn't last for too long, for the rain came to a halt and soon, the sun came out. Matt decided to take a walk, but still, the thoughts of Tai and their deteriorating friendship was weighing on his mind, and it all happened three weeks ago; their biggest fight... Tai had been avoiding him since the last week of school and when Matt confronted him, he spat out: "GET AWAY FROM ME! I don't want to see you, ever!"

Matt didn't know what could've caused Tai's anger, and since Tai had no idea that Matt was bi-, it got even more confusing. Matt could only stand there saying

"W-w-wha....t?"

Matt was cool, but never around Tai. That's when he became like any normal sixteen year old kid; clumsy, awkward, unsure of what they're saying or doing.

"You heard me Matt, now get the hell out of my way!"

Tai said, though monotone, and he shoved Matt out of the way. A bitter thought crept into Matt's head:

//You lied to me Tai, you promised you'd be there when I needed you, why'd you do that, just when I needed you the most. Just when I wanted to be with you the most... //

Matt was suddenly out of his way, snapping back into reality at the park. Tai was on the other side of the street, at the soccer field when he saw Matt; he looked at him in shock, as if he'd expected Matt to be there. Tai jumped the fence, and was running to Matt. Tai didn't see the car coming; it was almost too late when Matt pushed him out of the way.

"MATT!!!"

Tai ran to the slumped form,

"SOMEONE CALL 911!!!"

Matt opened his eyes, and muttered

"T... Tai... I-I..."

Tai shushed him, saying,

"Shhh.don't talk, it's going to be okay, I'm here, like I promised to be..."

Tai's voice faltered when he said this and he took Matt's hand into his own, and held it tight.

//Don't leave me... Matt... //
