Alright, first off I own nothing!
Not Digimon or Tai and Matt.
Also the Lyrics belong to Lifehouse. I don't own that either.
This is my first Digimon so let me know what you think.
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
Tai gave a loud sigh and wiped his eyes, removing the tears that stained his cheeks. Throwing the blankets off himself he headed into the kitchen. Grabbing a soda he leaned against the fridge, his tired eyes scanned the room landing on the living room couch that had become his bed for the night. Looking over he checked the clock. "4:35"
He'd been tossing and turning all night and when he got tired of that he would start pacing. Kari eventually got sick of it and threw him out on the couch while telling him to "fix it already before I go insane".
Tai banged his head on the fridge, "How could I be so stupid! I said such mean things to him!"
I can't be loosing sleep over this, no I can't
And now I can not stop pacing
Give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
Matt hiccupped and rolled over in bed. His dad was out on a business trip for the weekend so he was all alone. Checking the time Matt tossed off the blankets, finally giving up on the sleep that wouldn't come. Deciding on a hot shower, Matt quickly stripped and slipped under the warmth of the cascading water. He brought his hands to his face as he started to sob. The tears just wouldn't stop.
How could he let those girls grope him like that and not say anything! Tai had gotten so mad at him. Tai had never yelled at him before! Matt slid down the shower wall and wrapped his arms around himself.
Cause I cannot stand still
I can't be this unsturdy
This can not be happening
Tai had lain down on the couch and was now currently flipping through the channels trying to take his mind off everything yet so far failing to do so. Matt was never good with yelling and always seemed to fall quiet and into a depression whenever someone did so. Tai had yelled at him for the first time in three years of dating. He had also said it was "over" in the process definitely making things worse for the blonde and himself. He didn't mean any of it. He had just gotten so mad. He had already yelled at himself over and over at the fact that he let his anger erupt at something so small. Then again that whole day he had been snappy. Failed two tests, got detention, and was late for soccer practice and almost to Matt's concert.
Tai shook his head and once again checked the time. "5:30, dad and mom should be up soon."
Even on a weekend his parents kept their routine schedule of waking up at 6:00.
Tai groaned as another wave of tears came over him. He fought them back and stood up. Making up his mind he headed into the shower before drying off and slipping into a pair a jeans and the black t-shirt Matt bought him. Leaving a note he grabbed his wallet and slipped out of the house. By then it was 6:05, he knew it was still early but he had to see Matt.
On his way to Matt's he kept an eye out for something Matt might like. He quickly spotted two items in a small Antique shop.
This is over my head
But underneath my feet
Cause by tomorrow morning
I'll have this thing beat
Matt pulled himself out of the shower and slipped into a pair of black stretchy Capri's and one of Tai's old shirts. It still smelled like him. Matt reached into the bathroom cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Tylenol.
Letting out another sob he grabbed the nearby glass and filled it with water before swallowing several handfuls of pills.
And everything will be back
To the way it was
I wish that it was just that easy
Tai grabbed the bag the cashier gave him and ran the rest of the way to Matt's in hope to fix everything.
Taking a deep breath he knocked on the door a few times. When he didn't receive an answer he pulled out the key Matt had given him for their 1st year anniversary.
"Matt!" Tai called stepping into the still rather dark apartment.
He placed his gift down on the kitchen table and headed for Matt's room.
"Yama?" the room was dark but Tai easily saw that the bed was empty. The blankets had been tossed to the floor. Getting scared he hurriedly opened all the blinds and curtains allowing bursts of light to fill the house. Tai then looked around now able to see. He noticed the bathroom door was slightly open and the light was on.
"Matt!" Tai rushed forward.
Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
Tears poured down Tai's face as ran to get the phone. Matt was leaned against the wall, his dull eyes looking at where Tai had just stood moments ago.
Tai rushed back and started looking around until he found the pill bottle. He let them know what Matt took also informing them that the bottle was empty before hanging up.
"Yama! Yama can you hear me? Angel, please!" Tai fell to his knees next to the blond and pulled him into his arms.
"T…Tai? W…hat…" Matt whispered.
"I'm sorry Yama! I am so sorry! I didn't mean any of it! Please forgive me! I'll never hurt again! Please! Oh god! Why Yama? Why did you take those pills?" Tai sobbed, burying his face in Matt's hair.
"I…" Matt gagged and weakly pushed Tai away before crawling over to the toilet and throwing up.
Tai held Matt's hair away from his face and rubbed his back as his body jolted violently from his hacking.
"Oh, Yama!"
What is real and just a dream
What is real and just a dream
What is real and just a dream
Matt fell backwards against Tai who used a bit of toilet paper to wipe his mouth. Tai sat back against the wall and gathered the smaller boy against him. Matt buried his face into Tai's neck as he felt his tears overflow. Tai continued to sob, praying the ambulance would get there soon. Matt's eyes slid shut, unable to keep them open any longer. Tai's cried out and rocked the limp body back and forth.
Mere minutes later there was a hurried knock on the front door. Tai lay Matt down and ran to open it.
The men placed Matt on a stretcher and once they got back to the ambulance they place a oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. Tai jumped in beside the men who introduced themselves as Yuki, Tayo, and Chad. He held Matt's hand and rubbed the back of it in a circular motion. Matt woke up once for a few seconds but he was unaware of his surrounds. Tai was glad the hospital wasn't to far away.
Would you catch me if I fall
Out of what I fell in
Don't Be Surprised if I collapse
Down at Your Feet again
I don't want to run away from this.

Alright, If you know Lifehouse then you may have noticed I left out the last line of the Lyrics. I just didn't think it went with the story, while the other lyrics do. At least I thought so but this is my first Song Fic.
Any way I hope you liked it. Yes there is one more chapter. That will be posted in the next week.
My two best friends just got in a car accident. Liz broke her wrist and elbow and Sara slammed her head on the dash board but otherwise she's okay just bruised and sore. I'll be focusing on them a lot but I'm sure I can come up with something soon.
Idea's welcome.
