THE WAY DAVIS FEELS
"Demiveemon?" Davis asked as they were lying awake at night.
"Yes Davis?" Demiveemon answered.
"Why does everybody hate me?" Davis asked softly.
Demiveemon turned to look at Davis with concern. Davis has been kind of depressed lately. ~ I wonder if this was what was
bothering him ~ Demiveemon thought. "Aw, Davis. Nobody hates you. I like you."
"You're just saying that...Kari doesn't like me." Davis said unconvinced. Demiveemon climbed up to Davis' stomach so he could
see him better. Demiveemon saw tears at the corners of Davis' eye. "Of course Kari likes you!" Demiveemon exclaimed trying
to cheer him up but with no such luck.
Davis sighed "No she doesn't...she likes T.K. not me."
"Davis? Why do you sound so sad? Is there something the problem?" Demiveemon asked.
"Everythings the problem! Everybody makes fun of me even Kari, my parents have no faith in me, Kari hates me and everybody
thinks that I'm a jerk or an idiot or both. I feel so neglected Demiveemon."
As Davis was talking, Demiveemon had become concerned for his partner. "Aw, Davis. Don't feel that way."
Davis sighed sadly. Demiveemon saw a tear roll down his cheek. "Demiveemon why does everybody think I'm a jerk? Why does
everybody make fun of me? ...Why does Kari make fun of me AND laugh at me? Am I really that big of a jerk that everybody
has to make fun of me? Do you realize that everytime that they do, it's tearing me up inside. They don't know that they're hurting
my feelings and my pride. I just laugh along with the rest of them or act embarassed so they don't know."
His voice was quivering by the time he finished the last sentence and tears were falling from his eyes. He didn't even bother to
wipe them away. Demiveemon looked at Davis with sad eyes, tears at the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Davis. But I don't know the answers to the questions. I wish I knew." Demiveemon said sadly. He felt that he had
let him down. "But I do know that you're not a jerk or an idiot. And you should tell them how you feel unless they'll keep on
doing it."
"I know Demiveemon! But if I do, they'll think I'm weak or something." Davis paused to sniff then continued, "I seem to be the
butt of everyone's joke...I heard the others talking about me last week, Demiveemon. They were talking about me." Davis whispered
the last sentence.
"Davis, don't let what the others say get to you. I read somewhere that said 'It doesn't matter how everyone else sees you. it's
how you see yourself'" Demiveemon told Davis in attempt to cheer him up or at least to get him to stop crying.
"You're right, Demiveemon. But, I can't help it. It really effects me." Davis said, finally wiping the tears from his face with the
back of his hand.
Demiveemon snuggled up to Davis to comfort him.
"Davis, I want you to know that whatever happens I will always be here with you." Demiveemon promised.
"Thanks Demiveemon...me too." Davis murmured drifting off to sleep.
Demiveemon pulled the blanket up to Davis' shoulders and snuggling up into his arms.
~I promised to protect Davis and I will. No matter what the danger is.~ Demiveemon vowed to himself before he fell asleep.
Author's Note:This is just a fic. I'm not saying that Davis is weak or has emotional problems or anything like that.
