I know it's been forever, so sorry! I've been visiting some friends for Easter break and have been busy! Reviews would be fantastic! (= Also, is it Jou, or Jyou? I've seen it both ways, and I'd like to spell it properly. So, if I'm spelling his name wrong, my bad! And I will fix it if I figure out what it's supposed to be. Orginally, I was going to have Matt move back in with his mom, but I don't know if I want that anymore. I know I'm already writing four stories, but I started writing a fifth, too. I don't know when I'll get around to posting it though. I kind of want most of these done before I do. I think.

It's Monday at lunch time. I'm sitting with Sora, Mimi, Koushiro, and Jou. We're talking, apperently, about some test the other two males at table had just had. Different classes, and tests, but they both had tests. So that was the topic for today. Mimi and Sora's eyes drift to something behind me, and I spin to find a blonde boy, that could have very well been Yamato. Except he looked...dead. Almost. There was no shine to his hair, his eyes are down. He looks..scared. Which is something I've only seen once. And it was nearly a week ago. I haven't see him since last Tuesday, when I had kissed him. I was still a bit sore that he had rejected me. When he glances up, even his eyes are dull and lifeless.

"C-can I t-talk to y-you?"

He stutters. So he really is scared. At first, I want to say no. Sora gives me a nasty look though.

"Talk."

I say. It's better then nothing. He looks up at the tone of my voice with wide eyes, then his eyes dart to the other four sitting at the table.

"Are you feeling any better, Yamato?"

Sora asks to break the silence, which seems like a pretty stupid question to me. He shakes his head and gives her a weak smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

"No..My dad's having me transfered out. I'm going back to home schooling, since I can't seem to stay in class for longer then half a day."

That completely stuns me. And Sora, apperently cause her eyes widen in shock. The blonde shrugs.

"I should go...Sorry for bugging you guys. Bye, Sora, and the rest of you."

He says. He turns and starts walking away from us, when I decide I should talk to him. I jump up and race after the boy. He looks alarmed but seems to brighten a bit when he realises it's me.

"So?"

I ask him. Like I said, I am still a little bit upset, so I'm a bit harsher then I meant to be. He flinches at my tone. He opens his mouth, closes it, then opens it again. He sighs and looks down.

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

I ask, confused.

"I'm sorry. For..Tuesday? Or Wednesday? Whatever day it was when you came over."

I suddenly understand how cloudy is brain must have been to not know what day it was he had called me. It makes me feel bad for rushing away from him. We end up outside, beside the very same tree he had pushed me at two weeks ago. The blondes eyes are on his feet. He really does seem nervous. He glances up at me when I don't say anything. His eyes sweep the entire area, and he jumps when his name is called.

"Yamato, come on, sweetie!"

It's a womans voice. A bunch of different emotions cross his face. Anger, fear, confusion, pain, worry, excitment. He seems to settle on confusion. I turn to look at who had called him, but all I see his a blonde woman whose back is to us. Matt grabs my face and turns it towards me, which shocks me that he wanted contact with me without my bribing. He doesn't really seem to think about it, he just..kisses me once real quick, and walks away. I stand there, stunned. Did he really just do that?

Okay, so I had lied to Tai, Sora and the others. My dad isin't putting me in homeschooling, I'm forcing him to. There's no point in me going to a school where I get bullied, and can't even manage to last a day in. Why bother? I've always handled homeschooling before fine. I can do it now, too. However, today my mom is in town, and she is taking me back to her hotel, where I will hopefully be allowed to see my brother. Hopefully. If my mom isin't lying to me. Everything with her is fake. I'm not sick, I'm not unhappy, I'm not being bullied. In my mom's eyes I must be normal. Or I don't get to see T.K. Sitting beside my mother makes me nervous. I follow my mom to her hotel room, and of course, no T.K.

"You lied to me."

I say immediately.

"No, I didn't. But I know your games, Yamato. I have to make sure you're safe."

"I'm fine."

I snap.

"How do I know that? I just want to watch, and see.."

The door slams behind me as I leave the hotel room. I can't believe I fell for that bitches lies, again. My mom chases me out the door and calls my name, but I'm already watching the elevator doors close. When I get to the lobby, I run. I run all the way home, without stopping, and without looking at anyone or anything. I hop up the stairs two at a time, finally slowing down because I'm out of breath. I glance up, and find Tai, hand raised about to knock on my door. I unlock the door without saying anything to him, and he follows me in.

"Are you okay?"

Tai asks from behind me. I shrug.

"Just my mom."

I say. That should be it, and would be if it was my dad, but this is Tai, not my dad.

"What did she do?"

His questions are annoying me, and it takes all of my will power not to yell at him.

"She won't let me see T.K, because I'm sick."

"Well..."

Tai says, I glare at him.

"I know I'm fucked up. I do. But it's not contagious. T.K can't go crazy just because I am."

"You're not crazy, Matt."

I shoot a glance at him, and I can tell he really believes it. Time to prove him wrong. I go to my bedroom, and yank out my book, and give it to Tai, who had followed me. He looks through it, and I can see the shock grow on his face.

"I see those things everyday, Tai. And now, their talking to me!"

I can't help but laugh.

"Did you ever think that it's all the medication you take?"

"Huh?"

I ask, the question totally threw me off.

"I read somewhere that mixing too many meds can make you hallucinate...and stuff."

I had never actually thought about it, but it makes sense. However..

"How do you explain all the cuts and stuff?"

"I don't know, Matt. Just make a doctors appointment and see what they say. At least if you stop seeing things, you'll stop acting different. And then you'll get to see T.K, right?"

It's not excatly perfect, but I do want to see my brother, so I make a doctors appointment. Thankfully, I only have to wait until tomorrow. Hopefully, if Tai is right, and I pray he is, all this will go away. Since the appointment is in the morning, and my dad won't be here, Tai agrees to go with me.

"Good luck convincing your mom."

I tell him. He snatches the phone out of my hand and calls his mom.

"Hey mom. Matt has a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, and he doesn't want to go, so I'm going to skip school to go with him, okay?"

The tone of his voice says he's telling her more then asking her. But she agrees, as long as he makes the work up by the end of the week.

"What?"

He asks after he hangs up the phone.

"Your mom is cool,"

I say. Tai nods his head.

"Yea, she is. Anyone, since I'm kind of staying over, what're we gonna do?"

I shrug. I hadn't planned for anyone being over.

"Movie? Computer? I don't know.."

I'm completely lost on this, because really, besides that night had spent the night, no one has ever come over. Ever. I'm a freak.

"Let's just go walk..or something. I hate being inside."

Tai whines. I shrug.

"If you want.."

Although I'd rather not go outside, however, if that's what Tai wants, then I guess I will. Tai and I both put our shoes on and we just..walk. We don't touch, we don't look at each other, we don't talk..we just..walk and be together, I guess. It's almost dark when Tai looks at me.

"I think we're lost."

He admits. I sigh.

"Of course we are. Leave it to you.."

I mutter. Tai pouts, but doesn't anwser me. We turn back the way we came and try and find the way back to the apartment. Eventually, we do, but my dad is worried sick, and has called the police and reported me missing. Both Tai and I apologise both to my dad, numerous times. The police wouldn't do anything until it had been a full 24 hours, thankfully, so they were not actually involved yet. Dad orders food in because of how late it is, and even I eat a decent amount of food tonight.

"I have a doctors appointment tomorrow."

I inform my dad, Tai looks at my dad, he seems to be waiting for a reaction.

"Why?"

"Because someone mentioned that my medication mixing could be the reason for Them."

Tai's mouth drops at how freely I say it.

"Oh. Well, that seems like a good reason to go, I guess. It would be fantastic if this goes away just because of the wrong medication being mixed, huh?"

He smiles. I nod my head, and kind of look away. I hope that's all it is. I don't want to actually be crazy. I miss my brother so badly. Then I can shove it in my mom's face. That would make me feel much better, at least for awhile. And then, if she actually holds to her promise, I'll get to see my brother. I tap my fingers on the table, waiting for Tai to finish stuffing his face. After he's done, we head back to my room. I sit on my bed, and hide my face agaisnt my knees.

"What's the matter?"

Tai asks sitting beside me.

"What if I really am crazy?"

I ask. The bed shifts, and Tai wraps his arms around me, and cuddles me against his side.

"You're not. You don't act crazy."

That gets a laugh of me, which is cold and harsh. It doesn't affect Tai though, who just keeps me wrapped up in his arms.

"What if I can't functin without seeing Them?"

Tai huffs at me.

"You're going to be fine. You understand me, just fine."

Although he sounds like he's trying to convince himself for then he is me. I try to believe him, I really do, however..I just can't. I climb out of bed and dig through a box, pulling out my laptop. I open it up and we pick a movie out, and we watch it. I fall asleep about twenty minutes into the second one. My head is on a pillow in Tai's lap, and I don't even care of my dad comes in, because Tai makes me feel safe.
