***Takeru's POV***

Life just doesn't seem to be going my way at all. It's been a month. I've gone deeper into my depression. The doctors find it odd since i'm only 11 years old. What do they know? They haven't been through my hell. For the past month, Matt has had me crying into his shirt everyday. The pain is still there and all my friends are worried. All Kari's friends have gotten distant from her and have practically pounced on every chance they have to ask me out or help them 'study'.

God I hate my fans at times.

Matt has been the best brother. With his band practices and busy schedule, he still finds time to help me and just let me cry again. I had also asked him a few times about why he never blamed Kari for this. Normally, any guy in Matt's position would be blaming her. He said that it's because she's always been like his little sister, just like I am like Tai's little brother. He could never get mad at his sister, plus he knew she could have never known that I would get this bad. If she did, he knew she would have never ended it, she's not that kind of person. It made me feel slightly better that none of the destined blamed her. I would have been even more upset if I made the other destined mad at her.

Tai has been a great '2nd brother' as well. A few times when Matt was at practice and my depression got too great, my mother would call and ask him to come over. He would let me cry into his shirt for awhile. A few times Tai has had a already soaked shirt before I even cried onto him. I guess Kari had been crying a bit as well. The thought of her even being upset made me cry even harder.

News of my depression had spread rapidly around school. The girls had practically flung themselves at me to 'comfort me'. Everyday my destined friends and my old basketball teammates ask me if i'm OK. My face explains everything to them. I'm aware that I've gone to practically skin and bones and that my skin is paler then it normally is. It's because I barely eat anymore. Usually, I'll devour food faster then a vaccum, but now I barely eat a sandwhich. Girls always crowd around me, asking if I'm all right. It got so bad that I screamed at them to leave me the f*** alone. It took everyone by surprise since I've never yelled let alone cussed at anyone in my life. I had run out of the school after that.

But that had been yesterday.

Today, I had turned bad. I had gone out with Tai, Matt, Izzy and Joe to have some guy fun. We were at the park when I collapsed onto the hard pavement. I could hear them trying to get help and rushing to call the ambulance. I remember hearing them dial up the Kamiya's number before I went unconcious and into the hospital room.

When I awoke, only Matt was there. He said the other guys had gone to get everyone else, even Kari. I was kinda happy to hear that she was actually gonna come see me, but I dreaded it too. What was I gonna say to her when I DID see her?
My thoughts were interrupted by tears in my shirt. I looked to see Matt crying onto it. I inwardly laughed at the irony. I asked him why he was crying and he told me that he was afraid he might of lost me. This time, I gave my brother a hug saying that I wouldn't leave my big brother alone. We hugged for a while til a coughing fit had came over me. Once it ceased, my brother said that I had gotten very sick.

That explains why it feels like i'm in a greenhouse.

My throat burned from the multiple coughing fits I had. All the destined had come except Kari and Tai. I drifted off to sleep after Yolei and Ken left to go on a date. When I woke up, it was night time. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 10pm. My coughing fit came again, my throat burning at how bad the coughing had gotten. A small hand covered my mouth with a tissue as i started coughing up my saliva. I fell back against the pillow and groaned, this was not my day at all. I looked down as I felt a few warm tears on my hand. I looked up and my breath got caught in my throat. Kari was there, crying a little. She completely broke down when I said her name in my almost strained voice. She clung to me tightly, telling me how sorry she was that she put me through all this. She blurted out everything, from how she was scared to why she was there this late, crying into my chest all the while. The last words she said nearly made me die...

Kari's POV

Life took me for a rollar coaster ride. I knew the cheerleaders and some of my friends would stop talking to me after the break-up. They only talked to me to be around TK. I knew his depression was getting worse, he was paler with every passing day. Tai had me crying into his shirt sometimes, Sora's shirt once or twice, about how it's all my fault he's this depressed and sick. Tai, Sora or the other destined didn't blame me at all for TK being like this. They knew me too well.

Guys had pounced on the oppurtunity to ask me out. Davis was constantly asking everyday. I was really annoyed after awhile. Every guy had gotten even more persistant. It had gotten to the point where I just yelled at them to back the hell off. I had surprised everyone since I never cussed or even yelled. I had heard from Yolei that TK had blown up at his fans too. I wasn't too surprised.

That was yesterday though.

Now I ran as fast as my feet could carry me towards TK's room in the hospital. Tai had filled me in on what happened and I was fighting back tears. I dashed in just as Ken and Yolei exitted. I ran as fast as I could til I got into his room. Tai stood outside and said he'd tell Matt I was there when he got back from where ever he was. I took the seat next to TK and just stared at him for the longest while as he slept. It was 7 and visiting hours were over at 7:30. I was lucky that Matt cleared it with the hospital so me and Tai could stay over night. Matt's the best snd brother I could have.

As I stared at him, I forced a bitter smile. He looked like he was 8 again as he slept. He would always hold me in his strong arms when we were at each others houses and we'd fall asleep like that on the couch. Our mothers had gotten a picture of us asleep like that once. We looked so peaceful and happy then. A few tears managed to escape my eyes. I had finally come to a decision about our relationship, but I didn't know how TK would react. What if he didn't want it to be what I did?

It wasn't until 10 did he wake up. A single tear left my eye as I saw his eyes. They weren't bright and sparkling blue anymore. Now they were dull blue, they had no shine to them. I placed a tissue over his mouth as he started to cough up saliva. I remember I did this when I was 8 and Tai put the tissue over my mouth. I let some tears go as his head fell back against his pillows, eyes closed. They hit his pale hand and must have woken him up, cause his eyes opened and were startled to see me. His sweet voice was now cracked as he barely said my name.

That broke the damn.

I grabbed onto him tightly and spilled my guts. Told him how I was scared, how i didnt know where i wanted our relationship to go and how sorry I was for making him this sick. I cried while i spoke into his chest and decided to tell him what I had decided. He had a look of shock as I told him what I wanted our relationship to be...
