A/N: I felt that I had to tell this story.

Chapter 1

I've been blind this entire time. I knew in my heart that she needed me. After sailing a thousand oceans in a different dimension, I'm back in reality. Where was I this whole time?

Yolei came to our meeting tree holding another guy's hand. She looked super happy so I'm guessing the weren't related. "Hi, guys!" She greeted.

Davis looked at me with the same quizzical expression as I gave him. "Who's this?" He finally asked.

"This is my boyfriend, Paul!" She presented. The guy had a lot of hair the same color as Yolei's that fell all over his face and completely covered his ears. And he was pretty tall with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Completely unapproachable. "Paul, these are my friends; Ken, Kari, Cody, T.K., and..."

"Davis! The name's Davis. But I'm sure you've heard of me." Davis waved.

Paul just nodded our way. "Isn't he cute?" Yolei asked.

"How did you two meet?" Kari asked.

"We met at one of Mimi's parties. He goes to our school! Isn't that cool?" Yolei hugged his arm. "We've been dating for about a week and a half now."

Kari smiled. "Well, that's great!"

"It's nice to meet you, Paul." Cody said.

"Yes." He said with a deep voice. "It has been nice meeting you but we have to get going."

"But you just got here." T.K. said.

"We were only stopping by for a minute. We have other plans." Yolei explained.

But that's how it has been for a while now. Yolei just "stopped to say hi" and "had other plans". There was nothing really wrong with that, right? That's at least what I thought. The next time we planned something that we can all do together, Yolei never answered her phone.

But I kept calling every once in a while. "Hi, Yolei." I said when she finally picked up.

But she wasn't on the other line. "Yolei, it's one of your guy friends." Paul said to her. He probably didn't know I could hear. "Tell him to quit bugging you or I'll do it. And you don't want me to do it."

"Oh, Paul, just calm down." She said.

"Don't tell me to calm down. Who is that? You're other boyfriend?"

"No."

"Don't lie!"

"I'm not, Paul!"

Paul was mumbling something. I couldn't really make out what he said. "...NOW or I'll do it!" I caught. He was yelling at her.

"Fine! Whatever!" She yelled back. "Just give me the phone. Ah...!" She cried in pain. Paul was mumbling something before she picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi, Yolei." I said. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. Don't worry about it."

"Well, it's just that I heard..."

"What did you hear?" Yolei shouted on the other end.

"What?" Paul yelled in the background.

I gulped. "Nothing. I didn't hear anything." I gulped again. "I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with us tomorrow."

Yolei sighed. I couldn't tell if it was relief or not. "Sorry. I have plans."

"Come on, Yolei, we haven't seen you in about a month. Just one movie?"

"No, Ken. I can't. Maybe another time."

"Okay." I said. "You pick the time and date."

"No, Ken." She sighed. "I...I have to go. Bye." Before I could respond, she hung up.

I knew something was wrong. But I did nothing about it.

The next day, I didn't really say anything to her. I don't even remember seeing her. At the soccer field, Davis and I were playing a little one-on-one. He was doing pretty good despite me scoring more goals than him! "Gosh, Ken!" He complained. "You're on fire today!"

I rubbed the back of my neck. "Well, I practice." Suddenly, I spotted Yolei by the sidewalk. She was looking around, trying to cover her wrists with her long sleeves. She looked nervous as she was looking in all directions as if she didn't want anyone to see her. Then a black van pulled in and she was gone.

"Earth to Ken!" Davis nearly barked in my ears. "Where's your head at?"

I blinked and looked at him. "What do you think of Paul?"

He shot me a look of confusion. "Yolei's boyfriend?" I nodded. "He's okay I guess. I mean I've only seen him once when we were introduced in the park."

I shrugged. "I don't like him."

"Why not?"

I sighed and looked at the sky. Not a cloud save for a few. "He just seems...dangerous to me."

"Yeah, well..." He took a seat where he was standing. "He's Yolei's boyfriend. Not yours."

I smiled and sat down next to him. "Aw. Are you jealous?" I kissed his cheek, making him giggle.

"No, I'm not." He bottled up the rest of his giggles and pushed me off. "I was just saying if Yolei is happy with her boyfriend than there's nothing to worry about." He looked at me with all seriousness. "Right?"

I could've told him then and there what I heard on the phone last night. I could've spilled everything and rest happily knowing she was safe and that Davis had my back in case Paul wanted revenge. But I didn't. I couldn't. I just nodded. "Right."

"Good." He kissed my head as he stood up. "Let's go."

I stood up and walked beside him. I have to tell. I have to. "It's just that..." The words got stuck in my throat, making me choke. Once I caught my breath, I tried again. "I called Yolei last night."

Davis grabbed my hand and started swinging to like little kids do. "How was she?"

"That's what I wanted to talk about. They were yelling at each other."

"But that's what couples do, Ken. They're not all perfect." He knew that from experience. This is actually our third try at being a couple. Sometimes Davis doesn't get that a relationship requires two people. Sometimes, he just forgets about me. That's probably why I get so jealous.

I sighed. "It's just that she sounded like she was in trouble." Davis stopped walking all together. "Do you think it's serious?"

He shrugged. "Maybe they might break up."

"Maybe." I sighed again.

"Ken, don't feel so responsible for this." He hugged my arm. "Okay?"

"Okay." We kissed. "But I still worry."

"Then we'll worry together." We kissed again. "Do you want to come over for a while?"

I nodded. "Let me just call my mom."

The Motomiya family was so welcoming when I came in. By the time we entered the house, Mrs. Motomiya already set up a plate for me while Mr. Motomiya came in with a barrage of compliments. Jun was also happy to see me. But Davis's first priority was to get me alone in his room where I spent the night.

That morning, Jun was knocking on the door pretty early. "Jun!" Davis moaned. "It's Saturday! Go away!"

"Phone call for Ken!" She said. "Open the door!"

I stood up and combed my fingers through my hair to fix it a little. Then I opened the door. "Who is it?"

She handed the phone to me in a polite manner. "It's Yolei."

Confused, I looked at Davis, DemiVeemon, and Minomon who just shrugged. "Hello?" I answered. Jun stuck her tongue out at Davis before leaving. Davis gave her the same response as the door closed.

"Hi, Ken. I just wanted to apologize for when you called." She was kind of whispering so it was hard to hear.

"It's okay." I told her. "It must've been a bad time."

"Well, kind of." She sighed. "How long has it been?"

"About a month." I answered. "It's been about a month."

And she kind of left it at that. Yolei didn't really say anything. "I just want to see you."

Before I could question, I heard Paul say "What did you say?"

"I told him that I don't want to see him." She lied.

"Hang up the phone and kiss me, babe."

"Alright." And she did.

I looked over at Davis with so much concern just smeared all over my face. "Don't worry so much." He told me coming to my side. "I'm sure you're getting worked up over nothing."

I shook my head. "No, Davis. You didn't hear what I heard."

"Ken, I know you're upset, but I..." I started changing into my clothes, waiting for the rest of the sentence, but he never did. "You know, you may have a point."

"Then help me help her." I said.

"I don't know. She seems happy and I'm willing to believe that she is…unless you can prove me wrong."

I looked at him. "Since when did you become the rational thinker?"

He laughed. "I guess you rub off on me." He kissed me. Then he seriously said "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to her place. Maybe Paul is over there." I answered, heading to the front door.

"What are you going to do?" Then he said. "Don't do it."

"What?"

He held my hand with both of his. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

I kissed his forehead. "I won't fight him. I try to avoid that kind of stuff."

Davis nodded and let go. "When you come back with proof that he's bad and she's not happy, I'll help you."

"Okay." And I left.
