Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon or the song "Thank You" by Simple Plan.
Damn it's been a while since I've updated this story! I hope I can think up an ending for it! Any suggestions would really help. This is going to end really soon too. I'm thinking about two more chapters but I'm not sure yet.
::Chapter 10- Thank You::
I thought that I could always count on you,
I thought that nothing could become between us two.
We said as long as we would stick together,
We'd be alright,
We'd be ok.
But I was stupid
And you broke me down
I'll never be the same again
"What the hell are you doing here!?" Sora and Matt shouted to each other simotaniously over the loud music.
"What do you mean 'What am I doing here?' What are you doing here!?" They spoke in unison again and Sora sighed.
"Are you stalking me or something?" She wondered.
"No! I mean, I just-"
"I cannot believe that you would come all the way to the United States just to stalk me! You are insane!"
"Sora, you don't understand I-"
"I don't want to hear it, Matt. I don't want your excuses. The whole reason I came out here was to get away from you and my mom. Obviously it wasn't worth it..."
With her last comments Sora walked away through the crowd of people instantly losing sight of Matt.
"Damn it! Son of a bitch..." Matt muttered to himself as he tried to make his way to the house.

"Mimi!" Mika called, "Have you seen Tai?"
"No! Have you seen Sora?"
"No!"
"Where could they be?"
"I'm not sure! I just hope they didn't-"
"Thanks a lot, Mika. Your party just ruined my life..." Matt said entering the picture and quickly leaving.
Mimi and Mika watched as Matt left and then they looked at each other.
"Shit..." Mimi began, "He ran into Sora."
"Yeah, I can tell."
"What are we going to do now? I know that they love each other but Sora seeing Matt probably blew everything out of proportion."
"The plan wasn't supposed to happen like this. They were supposed to "accidentally" bump into each other when we planned and then talk this whole thing over as Matt declared his undying love to her."
"Plans don't always work. I have to find Sora. I think it's best if you find Tai and inform about what's going on."
"Good idea. I'll see you later. Call me and tell me how it goes."
"Alright, I'll see ya."

So thank you for showing me,
That best friends can not be trusted,
And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship and good times we had you can have them back
Sora found herself walking, walking away from the party and onto the beach. She removed her flip flops and let the water touch her bare feet. 'Why the hell did Matt have to come down here? This was supposed to be my week... away from him... away from everyone. It's not fair. I've been doing so good not thinking of him and now this. What am I going to do?'
The wind began to blow through her auburn hair as she took in a deep breath and sighed. She began to walk. She didn't know where... just away. But when she stopped, she soon felt the presence of another near her.
"Tai!?" Sora asked turning around to see the bushy-haired boy standing behind her.
"Hey Sor..." Tai said uncomforably.
"What, did the whole damn world follow me here? Are my mom and my grandparents hiding out in the water ready to pop out at any minute or something?"
"No, Sor. It's just me, I promise."
"Well, what do you want?"
Tai took a deep breath and sat down on a hilly sand dune next to where Sora was standing, "Look, Sor. I know you're mad at Matt and I because we followed you down here and all but you have to know that it was for good intentions."
Sora didn't make eye contact with her best friend but did sit down in the sand next to him, "Did Matt pay you to tell me that?"
"No. This is coming from me, only me."
"How can I trust you?"
"Because I'm your best friend."
Sora didn't say anything.
"Matt's going to kill me for telling you this but..." Tai began.
"But... what?" Sora wondered looking at him.
"He really likes you, Sora."
Sora stared at him with hope in her eyes.
"W-What?"
"I mean, he hasn't actually said he does but I know it. What guy would follow a girl across the country just to make sure she's not getting into trouble and hooking up with other guys?"
Sora smiled, "A crazy one."
Tai laughed, "Yeah, I guess that's true."
"I can't believe you guys came all the way down here just for me."
"I know, it's crazy, huh? Matt and I have both benefited a lot from this trip. Matt realized he's in love with you and if I hadn't of come, I never would've met Mika."
"Mika? How do you know her?"
"We kinda hooked up on the plane..."
"Tai! You little horn dog!"
"Yeah, yeah... what can I say? I'm a man! I have my needs!"
Sora laughed, "Don't we all?"
I wonder why it always has to hurt,
For every lesson that you have to learn.
I won't forget what you did to me,
How you showed me things,
I wish I'd never seen.
But I was stupid,
And you broke me down,
I'll never be the same again
A comfortable silence fell between the two. Sora still couldn't get over the fact that Tai and Matt were in Florida with her. She also couldn't stop thinking about what Tai had said. "He really likes you, Sora." Sora placed her head on her knees. 'And you know what sucks, Tai?' Sora thought but then began speaking out loud.
"I like him too..." she mumbled.
"What?" Tai asked.
"Huh?" Sora replied snapping into reality.
"I think you said 'I like him too...' and then you stopped talking."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Tai, I didn't!"
"Yes, Sora, you did!"
"Ugh! Fine, yes I did say it."
"I knew it. I'm never wrong."
"Ha ha, Taichi."
"Why is it so hard for you two to admit that to each other? I think it would make all of our lives so much better if you two finally got together."
"It's not as easy as it sounds, Tai. Matt and I have always had an... awkward... relationship. I'm scared that if something did happen then it would ruin our friendship."
"Friendship? Sora, there was never a "friendship" to begin with. You guys have always been more than friends you've just never realized it. To tell you the truth... I've always kind of been jealous of you two."
"What? You, jealous?"
"Well... yeah."
"Why?"
"Sora, you and I have been best friends since before we could open our eyes. I guess I just never thought about what it would be like if you and Matt were to hook up and you'd have a boyfriend."
"Tai, I've had boyfriends before."
"Yeah, but none of them meant anything to you."
"Yeah, that's true... but why is it different with Matt?"
"Because I was afraid he was going to take you away from me."
"Take me away from you? Tai, you're my best friend in the whole world. No one can break us apart."
"I know that now. I guess I was just being a coward."
"Coward? That's not like you, Tai. Believe me, if anything were to happen between Matt and I, you'd be the first to know."
"Promise?"
"I promise. Tai, I love you. You're the best thing that has ever happened in my life and no one can take that away from me, no one."
Tai smiled and put his arm around her, "I love ya too, kiddo. Best friends forever?" He said with a wink holding up his hand.
Sora smiled and shook Tai's hand, "Best friends forever."
So thank you for showing me,
That best friends can not be trusted,
And thank you for lying to me,
Your friendship the good times we had you can have them back
Mimi caught up to Matt who was sitting on the front porch of Mika's house chugging down a beer. She gritted her teeth before talking to him.
"Hey, Matt..." She said hesitantly.
"Hey Meems," he replied simply.
"Have you, um, seen Tai?"
"No."
"Oh."
Matt chugged more of his beer.
Mimi finally got up the courage and spilled everything that was going on. She began to talk and Matt just sat back and listened. He shook his head a couple of times at how rediculous the whole thing was and wondered why he even tried to get Sora in the first place. 'You're kidding yourself, Ishida. A girl like Sora is totally out of your reach and would never fall for a deadbeat like you. Why do you even bother?' He told himself as Mimi continued talking.
"And that's how all of this happened. I didn't even know that you guys were here until Mika said something," Mimi ended.
Matt sighed, "You know, you guys really didn't help me at all. You pretty much fucked me over and now Sora won't even talk to me. Good job."
"I know, Matt. I'm so sorry. We never should have interferred. Sora would've told you that she like you eventually and-"
"Whoa, what?"
Mimi stared at him, "What?"
"Sora likes me?"
"You didn't know that? I thought Tai would have told you by now?"
Matt laughed. He didn't have any words to say so he just laughed. Mimi thought he had gone insane. When Matt stopped laughing he threw the beer bottle on the ground causing it to shatter. Mimi jumped back a bit frightened.
"My life is ruined! The girl of my dreams hates me and my so-called best friend didn't even bother telling me that she likes me as much as I like her!" Matt said laughing, "Could my day get any better!?"
Just then sirens were heard and police cars came pulling up in front of Mika's house.
"Oh my God, kill me now!" Matt said.
"Shit, Matt! We have to get out of here!" Mimi said panicking.
"Why? My life can't get any worse..."
::SLAP!::
"Stop it, Yamato! Stop putting yourself down like this! You still have a chance to win Sora back but you're not going to do it by sitting here on your ass feeling sorry for yourself! So if you want to see the light of day tomorrow then I suggest getting off of your ass and getting out of here as quickly as you can! Your blood level has probably risen seeing that you're obviously wasted so get up now and go find Sora before it's too late!" Mimi yelled.
Matt sat there and stared at her with his hand on his cheek. 'Damn, she hits hard!' He thought.
"Go! Now!" Mimi said.
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Mimi winked and smiled at him, "Go get her."
"Thank you."
Matt ran off of the porch and through the backyard onto the beach. He had to find Sora. No matter what got in his way he was going to tell her how he felt, even if it killed him.

TBC! Thank God! So yeah, while I was writting this story I thought up an ending! Which, will be the next chapter. Sorry it's so short. I know it seems like I'm rushing to finish all of my stories but to tell the truth... I'm running out of ideas and words and they just need to end. Well, enough babbling. Review!
