Why Brother
I waited in till what felt like forever, and then go up. I looked at myself in the mirror and checked the gash above my eyebrow. I sighed as I felt the back of my head. Sure fucking enough there was a small gash back there too.
"Life fucking sucks…" I mumble to myself.
I walked over to my Ikea closet and changed. Dark green boxers, same cargos I was wearing before, and a black shirt with red lettering saying "Die Hard". It was a good movie and the shirt is sweet. I opened my door and walked down the blinding hallway to the kitchen. I guess someone threw out my pop. I decided regular oatmeal was today's choice.
As it was cooking in the microwave I pondered about last night. Yamato actions were unusual. When he has the chance he will do it. Why didn't he? Sickness enveloped my body as my dream replayed in my head. I started to shake and shiver as the memory was as vivid as if it were happening now repeated.
I walked off to the washroom and splashed cold water over my face to snap myself back to reality but it was part of my reality wasn't it?
The beeping of the microwave could be heard from down the hall as my food was ready. I looked n the mirror wide eye. Was I ready to face the world today?
I forced myself to eat as I remembered punching Ken in the face. 'Fuck now I have to say I'm sorry…' It's not like I meant to do that at all. It just happened. Just like that. I could feel that small voice in my head nag at me. Saying that I just was ashamed, and you didn't want anyone to know. I smack my face on the counter top to stop the voice. I leaned up holding my head with a long groan.
"I shouldn't have fucking done that…" I moaned in pain as I tossed my dishes into the silver sink and went to the living room to grab my bag.
Patamon had looked up at me. "T.K. is something wrong?" He was watching the news about robberies in the last past week and how the man had a gun and was searching for someone.
I looked into those blue eyes and shook my head. "No its find just didn't sleep very well." I respond with a smile. I can tell he wasn't buying it but nodded none the less and went back to watching the news. I tried to be cheerful as I grabbed my bag and went to the door.
"See ya later Patamon." I called out and slipped my shoes on. All I saw was a flash of orange and a call out of "be careful" before the door closed.
I kept thinking what I was going to say to everyone when I got to school. None of the reasons I came up with made sense. I wish the subway right now would take hours. My dream kept creeping into the back of my mind as I was trying to make up an excuse. I didn't notice tears started t go down my cheeks. I rubbed the back of my hand across my face as a woman was staring at me giving me a puzzled look.
Again that anger came as I didn't want her staring at me. Normally I would just not make eye contact but this time I glared and stared at her. She blinked a couple times then looked away.
"What the fuck were you looking at?" I whisper quietly and her heads jerks in my direction as I get off. I knew she had heard me but right now I didn't give a fuck.
I walked to my locker avoiding everyone's eye contact. I bet a few people have heard now and I could feel their eyes staring at me. I opened the devil's locker after opening the lock. I grabbed my stufgf and slammed my locker.
I gasped. "Jesus Kari!" I stopped to catch my breath. "You fucking scared me to death." I said lowering my head as my hand rested upon my closed locker.
Kari stood there with her hands on her hips. This time she was wearing a pink sweater but still the same skirt and boots. It had 1998 in big, bold, brown letters.
"What the fuck happened between you and Ken yesterday?" She shouted angrily and people's eyes turned towards us. Just my luck, now Kari is pissed. The only time Kari swears is if she is pissed. I am guessing this is one of those times.
"Well…" I paused. "That's kind of hard to explain really…" My voice lowed as I spoke.
Kari's face was slightly red with anger but her expression changed as she sighed. "T.K…" She whined.
I watched as she looked at her cell phone. "C'mon let's get to class." She whispered and I nodded and just followed.
Just one great fucking morning!
Apparently I agreed to going with Kari, Ken, Taichi, and Daisuke to grab a drink at a café to make it up to Ken. Of course Daisuke was coming but it's not like I really care to begin with.
I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open in my last class and eventually I blacked out.
I arched my back and cried out as a bolt of lightning flashed and shook the building. I came down from the sensation and the white spots left me once again. I looked up at my brother…No he once was my brother. This was a monster.
He smirked as he panted lightly but I could see sadness in his eyes. My throat was now to dry as I tried to speak between sobs. "Matt… W-why?" That was all I could muster up. It was the only question I wished answered.
He stared at me and pulled something out of the drawer in the bedside table. It was a cloth. "Because…" He started, "…I want to forget…"
My eyes were all dried out and sore as I watched him lean over my shoulder and bite hard. I left out a cracked cry. He chuckled as he licked the blood off and grabbed both my arms. He tied them with the cloth behind my back and rolled me over to face him.
"T.K...T.K…T.K!" a voice shouted in my ear. I opened my eyes to Daisuke looking at me and right beside my face. "God, finally you are awake." Daisuke shouted.
Why lord does he have to be so loud?
"Such a loud mouth..." I sighed as I got up and put together my now drooled on books in my bag.
"What did you just say!" He shouted again.
"You heard me Daisuke." I mumbled as I tossed my bag over my shoulder.
He bared his teeth. "Awe bite me bitch." He growled now completely pissed off.
"I will gladly." I growled back. I was not in the mood to deal with him.
Just before the battle was about to start Kari ran in and dragged us both out. Ken and Taichi were waiting outside. We said hi and Kari forced me to say sorry. I shrugged it off though and so did Ken. He had a purplish bruise on his cheek. Imagine if I had hit his nose what the mess it would have been. We had walked to the café Kari wanted to try.
"Hey Matt!" I froze and my eyes slowly went over to him. He was walking over to us cheerfully. "Hey Daisuke, Kari, Ken, Tai." He didn't say my name. I was glad that he didn't. We went into the café to get something and Yamato and Taichi stood outside. I looked behind me at Yamato but I couldn't help but notice…Tai was mumbling about something and he didn't look to happy about it.
"Uh Kari?" I tried to get her attention.
She looked at me. "Yes?"
"Uh I'm going to see what they want." Pointing at her brother and the monster I am related to.
"Oh Okay!" She beamed.
I walked over and stopped out of their eyesight and listened.
"Umm...Matt is something wrong with T.K.?" Tai asked nervously. Something about the way he said it was odd.
Yamato gave him a questioning look. "I don't think so, why you ask?"
"Well he has been different ever since….well you know." I could tell Tai was trying to hint around. Then it clicked. Tai fucking knows something about what happened with Yamato on the day!
I watched as Yamato blinked and eyes narrowed. "Tai what are you insinuating?"
"Did something happen, no I should rephrase that. Did you do something to T.K. after we talked? And don't you dare lie to me." When those last few words came out were coated with venom.
I was shocked though on the look on Yamato's face. As if a child was told there was no such thing as Santa Clause.
"How could you say something like that…?" Yamato tried to sound angry but was miserably failing.
Tai knows something and I have to figure out what happened. Why was Yamato failing so much against Tai but he can smash my head in the wall in an instant. Something wasn't adding up at all. I felt my stomach knot as I kept thinking. Whatever happened with Yamato and Tai got me raped for years.
Anger and nausea filled me. Was this all Tai's fault?
Tai had looked away from Yamato and had seen me peaking out behind the building. His eyes widen slightly and I could tell he whispered my name. The sickening feeling was completely taking over as I watched Yamato's head snap towards me. I shook my head and started to run and didn't look back.
This was Tai's fault!
I looked behind me and shocked that Daisuke and Ken were chasing after me.
I kept running what felt like hours till my legs began to burn and I stopped. Daisuke came up behind me and grabbed the back of my shirt and through me to the wall.
"What the fuck is going on?" He hissed between breaths. Ken was right beside him staring at me intently. I forgot they were both soccer players and could easily chase me down.
"It's none of your fucking business!" I hissed back then fell forward pushing Daisuke back and puking all over the ground.
Ken tried to help me up. "We better get out of here Davis, T.K. This is the bad part of town." My eyes traced the new world in front of me. All the buildings were run down and trashed. Everything around here was dirty. The people walking around look like they would kill us if we looked at them the wrong way.
I nodded finally in agreement as I tried to get back up. Screaming was heard down the street and for we knew it… Shots were fired.
We all hit the ground and the breath was knocked right out of me. Then pain and a lot of it was replaced as I tried to breath. My hands lunged to my own throat trying to grasp a breath. I leaned up on the wall and screaming could still be heard. I looked over at the other two. Ken was getting up and ran over to Daisuke who was bleeding. He had been shot and from the amount of blood leaking from his side it hit something serious.
My ears were ringing as my nausea was mixed with pain. Ken had looked at me and was shouting something. I could only watch his lips move. There were no words. I looked down to see I was bleeding. The crimson liquid had soaked through the shirt. I put one of my hands on the red mess as my eyes followed to the parked car that had been in front of us. My reflection showed red liquid splattered over my face.
Dizziness started to consume me and the pain had destroyed the nausea. Realization had finally hit me as my eyes started to close. I was in the same situation as Daisuke.
I had been shot.
Wow umm i don't knwo what to say.
Taichi knows something is going on but is it because of what he had done? what had he done?
many questions and no answers.
Yes our prescious T.K. has been SHOT! what will happen next?
might be second last chapter stay tune to find out.
