A/N. here's the second chapter. Hope you like it.
Oh yeah, I don't own the digimon or the characters.
TK stared in shock as Tai finished Matt's story. "Matt, you have to tell someone. You need to get some help."
Matt looked up. "NO. You can't tell anyone. Promise me you won't tell anyone," he said, looking frantically at both of them.
"But Matt," TK started to object.
"Promise me. Please guys. Don't tell anyone," Matt pleaded with his friends.
"OK. We promise. But you have to promise to call us if you need help."
"Fine. I should go now. My dad will be mad if I'm not there when he wakes up."
"Wait. We'll go with you," TK and Tai said.
"No. You can't. I'm not supposed to be hanging out with you guys. If you come, it'll just make him angrier.
"But Matt," TK started.
"No guys. Don't worry. I've been living with him for a long time. I can handle it. I've made it this far. If I need you, I'll call. Ok?"
"Ok," they said reluctantly.
"Good. I'll see ya at school tomorrow. We'll talk some more," he said, as he pulled his shirt back over his head. He left Tai's place and slowly walked back to his apartment. When he got there, his father was sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Where the hell have you been?" he yelled angrily, as Matt walked in.
"I went for a walk," Matt said, heading towards his room.
"Don't walk away from me, Matt," his dad said. "Now, where were you?" he asked again.
Matt didn't answer. He just stared at the floor.
"You were with those nosy kids, weren't you?"
Again, Matt just stared at the floor.
"I told you to stay away from them," his father yelled, slapping Matt hard across the face.
Matt stumbled back. He stared, wide-eyed at his father. He had never seen him so angry. 'Uh oh' was all he could think before his senses were overtaken by pain. He tried to block some of hits his father was throwing at him, but his vision was to blurry. "Dad, stop. Please," he managed to choke out. He was having trouble breathing and the room was starting to spin. He had enough time to see his father's fist flying toward him and then everything went black.
Everything was black. No matter where Matt looked it was pitch black. 'Where am I' he thought. He suddenly became aware of a strange beeping noise and the mumbling of voices. He started to move toward the sounds and they became louder. Soon, he could understand what the voices were saying.
"I think he's waking up," came the familiar voice of his brother.
"Matt, can you here me?" It took him a minute to recognize the voice.
"Mom," he said in a cracked voice. He opened his eyes and winced as a bright light hit them. He closed them again and then slowly opened them. He looked around him. He was in a hospital room. His mom and TK were standing by his bed. "Mom," he said again, and then he broke down and started to cry as the memories from the other night came crashing back. His mom rushed over and hugged him, careful not to hurt him. "Shhh. It's ok hunny. Everything'll be ok." She sat there for a while, rubbing his back and making soothing noises. He finally stopped crying and pulled away from her. He looked at her, a little confused.
"How did I get here?" he asked.
"TK and Tai. They found you on the floor. You were all beat up and bleeding. They called 911 and then called me, saying that you were in the hospital. I'm so glad your ok."
"What... what happened to dad?" he asked, a little frightened of what the answer would be.
"He wasn't there. We tried to get in touch with him, but we couldn't. Why?" She seemed a little confused. Matt turned to TK. "She... she doesn't know?" he asked, although, it was more a statement than a question.
TK shook his head. "No. In all the commotion I never had a chance to tell her."
"Tell me what? Is something wrong?" she asked, looking even more confused.
"Yeah mom, something is wrong." He looked at TK. "Tell her for me, please. I don't know if I can."
"Sure Matt. Mom, you might want to sit down," he said as he began to tell her Matt's story. By the time he was finished, she was crying and also royally pissed.
"That bastard," she yelled through her tears. "I'm going to get his sorry ass put in jail. I'm so sorry Matt. I should have been there to protect you. I'll make sure he pays for what he did to you," she said as she stormed off to call the police. When she was gone, TK sat on the edge of the bed.
"How do you feel," he asked worriedly.
"Besides feeling like I've been hit by a giant with a sledge hammer, I'm fine."
TK smiled at this and gently hugged his brother. "I'm glad your ok."
"Me too," came a voice from the doorway. "I was scared to death when we found you on the floor," Tai said as he entered the room. "How are you feeling?"
"Like hell, and you," Matt said sarcastically.
"I get your meaning. You look pretty bad."
"You don't look so good yourself. You looked exhausted. You should go home and get some sleep.
"I'm going to. I just had to see for myself that you were ok. I'll see you later then. Get better. Okay?"
"Ok. See ya Tai."
Matt turned to TK. "How long have I been out?"
"About 3 days."
"3 days. I've been asleep for 3 days." Matt exclaimed in disbelief.
TK nodded. "Yeah, you had us worried. We weren't sure if you were gonna wake up."
His mom walked in a few minutes later. "The police are looking for HIM. I talked to them and they said I shouldn't have any trouble getting custody of you. So you're gonna come live with me and TK. Is that alright with you sweety?"
Matt stared at her in disbelief. "Of course it's alright with me. I have just one question, thought."
"What's that," she asked.
"When can I get out of here," he said, as they all erupted into laughter.
