"Dear? Are we almost to Miyako's apartment yet?" asked Mrs. Kamiya. Her
husband kept his eyes on the road and said,
"Almost. I think it's just around the next block." Mrs. Kamiya smiled and went back to looking out the window. It was raining hard and it was a dark night, no moon. She sighed. Kari was 15 years old, almost 16. Tai was off in college. Kari was usually at someone else's house, so they were usually alone. Mrs. Kamiya didn't mind though, the solitude was a good change from all that stuff with the Digiworld a few years ago. but that was then. This is now!
Then, out of nowhere, a car zoomed around a corner and headed straight for the Kamiya's car. Mr. Kamiya swerved, but the sound of crunching metal soon overpowered them.
**
Kari looked off of Miyako's balcony. The cars below her drove past and then the light changed, making a different set of cars go. She was waiting for her parents who were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago. She wasn't really worried, her parents had always been there eventually, but with the downpour, and it being late at night on a Saturday, she didn't know what could happen.
Then she saw the family car. It was just a short ways away from turning the corner to get to the apartment. She watched it intently and then saw something that horrified her: a car barreling around the other corner, and heading straight-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" she screamed so loudly that Miyako ran out and asked what was wrong. Unfortunately she got no answer. Kari was staring at the accident and she was crying. Tears flowed down her cheeks and she didn't blink.
"Call 911! HURRY!" someone said. Kari ran to the stairs to get down to the street below. Miyako, being one of Kari's best friends, followed her.
"Kari! What's wrong?" This time Kari did answer:
"My parents were in that car." Miyako gasped and Kari ran even faster. The tears didn't stop either.
"Mom? DAD! NO!" she screamed as she saw the wreckage. The entire driver's side had been smashed in and the glass in the window's were all broken. Kari didn't even bother to look in the other car, she went straight for her parents. She tried to open the passenger door, but to no avail. It wouldn't budge, so she resorted to doing it the hard way. She unbuckled her mother and pulled her out through the window, trying her best not to let the glass still in the window cut her. She laid her down on the sidewalk and then she went back to her father.
"Kari! You should wait-"
"I can't wait! These are my parents! MY PARENTS!" she cried as she climbed on the hood of the car to get her father. The driver's side door was too mashed to even think of opening or getting him out the window. Mr. Kamiya's head had hit the steering wheel despite the air bag and he was unconscious. Kari was now crying even harder when she couldn't unbuckle him. She tried again, and again, and again but it wouldn't work.
"DAD! Daddy!"
~^~*~^~
Kari sat melancholy in her room. Her hair was loose and hadn't been brushed in days. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was wearing a black dress and was sitting on her bed, on her knees, crying.
"Kari?" someone said. She didn't care who. She didn't look up either.
"Kari, it's Davis." She still didn't look up.
"Kari. I'm worried about you. You haven't come out of your room since we got here. Do you want to talk?" At that she looked up and said,
"What do you think?!" She was angry, she was sad. She wanted to run to someone and just cry her eyes out. but she couldn't. No, there was no one to do it to. Everyone had someone, no one liked her.
"Kari." he spoke quietly. "If you ever need a shoulder to cry on you can always use mine." he offered. She shook her head. Davis thought about sitting down next to her but then he didn't want to push her to open up about anything. So he just walked out of her room taking one last look at her before shutting the door. Kari fell to her side and onto her pillow. Gatomon curled up besides her trying her best to comfort her and it worked a little.
"I love you Gatomon." Kari spoke before she went off into a restless sleep.
Tai wasn't faring any better then Kari. He knew everything about the accident. The way Kari tried desperately to free them, the way that she couldn't get their father out, and the way that he died on the way to the hospital.
"Mom. Dad." He said between sobs. He was 19 and had already moved out to go to college, but he came back for the funeral. The people from his job and from his school had excused him for as long as he wanted because of it.
"Taichi?" someone asked him. He moved his tired and bloodshot eyes to the door and saw Sora.
"Hey Sora, what's up?" he asked trying to sound normal.
"Tai." she sighed, "You don't have to act tough around me. I know you've been through a lot and I just want to help."
"I know that Sora." She sighed again and sat down next to him.
"Tai I know this is really early to be saying this, but it'll be alright. I'm sure your parents wouldn't want you to mope around the rest of your life. You've got a good future! I mean, how many people are 19 and the Vice President of a big company?" Tai looked back down at the ground and said,
"I can't even think about the rest of my life right now! My parents. *sob* They're gone! 19 years of memories are just invading my brain like . like. I DON'T KNOW! But it hurts Sora, it hurts!" Sora felt tears escape her eyes. Nothing like this had ever happened to anyone she knew before. she didn't know what to do. She placed her arms around Tai and gave him a long, loving hug. Then she kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the room. Tai was once again alone in his room but that didn't matter to him. His heart was gone, it had left in the caskets of his parents.
