When the Notes Began
The doorbell rang.
I quickly get off the couch after setting the pencil I'm doing my homework with and stride over to the door. I make sure that I'm not letting a stranger in before I open the door.
Hi Eve. Ready to study? Adam asks as I let him in.
Sure I am. Well, at least I am as ready as I ever will be, I reply as I shut the door behind him.
So, are your parents not home? Adam asks as he hangs up his coat.
No silly! They went out to dinner with your parents and Uncle T.K. and Aunt Kari, I answer as I walk into the living room.
Oh yeah. I forgot. Actually, I haven't been at home since this morning because I had a soccer practice early this morning and then I had to go to another one later, Adam says as he takes a seat and looks at the math homework I was doing.
Soccer on a Sunday? I ask.
Why not?
I don't know. So, I'm guessing you never did your math homework yet? I ask with a smile as I sit next to him.
Eve, you know me way too well, Adam replies as he leans back on the couch and closes his eyes.
What's wrong with you? I ask.
Adam answers as he opens his eyes and smiles at me.
Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything, I ask as I lean closer to him.
This is way too embarrassing to say, Adam says as he blushes.
Oh come on. We tell each other everything. What's going to? Do you like some girl at school and want to ask her out, but feel it is awkward because of me? I ask truthfully.
No! I don't like anyone at school. Why? Do you?
No, of course not, I reply with a grin.
Who do you like and what class is he in? Adam asks.
I reply, Well, he's in my class. He basically is in all my classes and plays on the soccer team. Oh, and he comes over everyday asking me this very same question.
I do not!
Do too! I exclaim.
Eve, what am I going to do with you? Adam asks as he shakes his head.
Kiss me, I reply as I lean forward.
Adam kisses me, something that we have been doing a lot for the past three months. He kisses me again and again, and as we get more into it, I pull him on top of me as I lay on the couch. We continue to kiss until I fall off the couch.
I say laughing as I push Adam off of me.
Double ow. I hit my head on the end of your couch, Adam says laughing as he rubs his head.
Oh Adam, what am I going to do with you? I ask as I bring him closer to me.
I want to make love to you, Adam whispers in reply in my ear.
Why don't I make us some popcorn? I ask nervously as I push Adam off me and stand up.
Eve, I'm sorry, Adam whispers.
Don't be. Want some popcorn? I ask.
No, I want you. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just that I really care for you and lately we have been getting really close to having sex. But I can see why you are uncomfortable. The last time we had sex...
Was over twelve years ago. And lets leave it like that, I say, finishing Adam's sentence.
I'm sorry. I just care for you so much, Adam say shyly.
I know you do, I say as I give him a quick peck on the lips.
The quick kiss turns into a long one where Adam pushes me onto the couch to do so. I wrap my arms around him and urge him on by kissing him back. He moans slightly as I rub his side.
The phone suddenly rang.
What is that stupid ringing noise? I'm trying to kiss my boyfriend. Oh, it's the phone. Sigh, why can't I just kiss Adam without interruptions?
You better answer that. It probably is your parents or mine because I never told them where I was going, Adam says as he breaks away from our kiss.
I stand up and walk over to the desk where the phone is. I pick it up and say, Ishida residence. Eve speaking.
Hello Eve. This is Adam's mother. I was just wondering if my son was there?
He's here, I reply as I look at Adam who smiles.
Could I speak to him?
Of course. Hold on please, I answer as I pull the phone away from my mouth and whisper to Adam, it is your mother.
Oh, did she sound mad? Adam asks as he stands up and walks over to me.
I don't think so, but then again, the last time you were here this late she wasn't too happy, I reply as I look up at the clock that says it is almost ten o'clock.
Hi, Mom? Adam asks into the phone. He nods a few times and then groans. Come on. We are just studying for a math test I have tomorrow. You know I suck in math and Eve doesn't. He nods a few more times and says, I'll see you later. Just pick me up on your way home. Unless you and Dad want some private time. Adam frowns and says, Sorry. I'll see you later.
Adam passes me the phone and is about to say something when I take it from his hand and hang it up.
Eve, why did you do that? Your dad wanted to talk to you! Adam exclaims.
I say as I cover my mouth and wait for the phone to ring. It does and I answer it by asking,
Yeah, it is me. Why did you hang up?
I'm sorry, but I thought Adam was finished when he handed it to me, I reply honestly.
Why is Adam over?
Why shouldn't he be? What's with you guys? You normally don't care when I hang around with him so what gives? Oh wait, let me guess. You guys went out for supper to talk about mine and Adam's lives. I get it now. You think that I'm going to become pregnant or something. Well just to let you know that I am a virgin in this life so you don't have to worry about that. Also, I'm not going to make the same foolish mistakes you and Mom did so stop worrying and just leave me alone, I say harshly as I hang up the phone.
Whoa, you didn't have to get so mad, Adam says as he rubs my back.
I know, but God, can't they just leave us alone?
Maybe it would help them if they knew we are dating? Adam suggests.
Wouldn't that just make them more over protective and curious? I ask as I walk over to the couch and sit down.
It might, but in another sense it might make them feel a bit more secure if they know what kind of relationship we have. I mean they have no idea that we are dating because we lead them to think about that. But then there's our past that isn't exactly innocent in our part, Adam replies quietly as he sits next to me.
I just like things the way they are. You know I don't like to make a big deal about what we are in terms of a relationship, I say.
I know and I don't like to either. Fine, let's just keep things the way they are, Adam says as he leans forward to kiss me.
I kiss him back and this time, I lay him down and lay on top of him as we kiss. I rub his side and he moves his hand up and down my back, lower each time. I kiss him more passionately as I lean down. We break apart breathing heavily and I lay down on his chest. I place one of my hands on his chest while the other one is on his thigh. I close my eyes and breath calmly, trying to make myself stop breathing so heavily.
***
Wake up.
I lift my head up to see my parents standing over us. I sit up and shake Adam awake.
Adam asks confused as he opens his eyes.
It's time for you to go home. Your parents are waiting for you in there car, Dad answers.
I stand up and walk towards the front door. Adam follows me and I take his coat and hand it to him. He takes it and smiles. I look to see my parents waiting and I turn back and give Adam a weak smile.
Thanks for the math tips. I'll see you tomorrow. Night, Adam waves as he opens the door and shuts it behind him.
I turn around and walk past my parents saying, I know what you are thinking, but you are wrong. Adam is my best friend and the only one I have.
I didn't think anything. Did you, Mimi? Dad asks in a funny voice to Mom.
No, I didn't either, Mom says in the same kind of voice.
Knock it off. I know what you think and it isn't true. Adam is the only friend I have considering Kimmy dumped me for more popular girls. Adam coming over isn't any different than Kimmy, I say as I continue to walk towards my room.
We didn't say anything about that either. You're the one making the big deal out of this, not us, Dad says.
I turn around and say, You guys are so good at making me look like the bad guy.
Nobody's making anyone look like the bad guy. Why, is someone supposed to be the bad guy? Mom asks as she and Dad laugh.
I'm going to bed. Good night, I say as I open the door to my room and shut it behind me.
Why do my parents always do that? God, they could get a job doing that and make a ton of money. Maybe I should suggest that! I take off my clothes and put on my pajamas as I climb into bed. I pull the covers up to my chest and sigh.
Adam is the best guy in the world. I am so lucky to have a relationship with a person who I can trust and believe in. I love him so much.
***
Buzzzzzz.
God, I hate alarms. I fall out of bed and pull on my boxers right again for they were slipping off. I pull on a pair of jeans and a blue and orange t-shirt. I take my house key that is on my dresser and smile at the picture of Eve that is on it. My best friend and really my only friend. Why I don't have any friends is beyond me. I don't mind though, I like being Eve's only friend and her mine.
Adam, are you up? Mom calls through the door.
I yell back as I shove my books into my bag. I glance at my clock and see that I am twenty minutes late for school already. I exclaim,
Oh great, I set my clock an hour late. Mom should have waken me up sooner.
Shit, shit, shit, I whisper to myself as I swing the bag over my shoulder and run out of the room.
You are finally up, Dad says as he looks up from the newspaper.
Yeah and no thanks to you, I am already twenty minutes late for school, I say as I grab a pencil off the counter to take with me.
Adam, have some breakfast, Mom says as she hands me a piece of toast.
Fine, but I don't have time for this. I'll see you guys later, I say as I take the piece of toast and hold it by putting it into my mouth.
Have a good day, Mom calls out as I slip on my shoes, don't even take a jacket, and run out the door.
Shit, I'm going to have a detention because this is the third time this month that I'm late, I whisper just after I take the piece of toast out of my mouth. I take a bite and quickly run towards my school that is only two blocks away, but classes have already started.
I knock on Mrs. Mijiru's door to get into my first class of the morning, science. I can hear Mrs. Mijiru stop talking and walk over to the door. She opens it and scowls while she says, Mr. Kamiya, can we not be late? You will report to detention after school.
But Mrs. Mijiru, do I have to?
No buts. Now come inside and don't talk to anybody or else a double detention, Mrs. Mijiru scolds as she lets me in.
I walk towards the back of the room and wink at Eve as I take a seat next to her. I smile at her and she smiles back.
As I was saying before we were rudely interrupted by Mr. Kamiya, no more talking in my class. If you do, detention after school, Mrs. Mijiru explains.
I already have a detention, I whisper to Eve.
Two can have one, Eve says with a smirk. She looks in my eyes and says in a whisper, but loud enough to hear across the room, So anyway, how was your soccer practice?
Miss. Ishida, what did I just say? I have to give you a detention, Mrs. Mijiru says as she shakes her head.
Oh if you insist, Eve says as she turns frontwards again after giving me a wink.
***
Why did you do that? I ask as we walk out of class.
Might as well. What am I going to do without you? Eve asks as she walks beside me.
By the way, my soccer practice was good yesterday afternoon. The funny part is you could have asked me last night. Than again, we were kind of busy with others things such as our studying, I say sarcastically.
Eve giggles as we turn around the corner towards her locker. Normally after we go to her locker, we both go to mine. Since we have most of the same classes together, we do this all the time. As we approach her locker, a group of people are standing in a circle around it. Eve and I shove our way through to see Eve's locker vandalized with spray paint. Kimmy looks at us with a funny look.
Who did this? I demand, Who wrote I know something'?
Eve remains silent as she walks over to her locker and unlocks it. A note falls out and she picks it up. I stand beside her as she unfolds the note. The note reads: I know something. Something that can destroy your life. I know something that haunts you everyday and gives you nightmares. I know about your other life. There is no signature and the note is typed.
Break it up. What is going on here? Mr. Welgh asks as he makes his way through the growing crowd of people.
Someone vandalized Eve Ishida's locker, Kimmy replies quietly.
Do you have any idea who did this? Mr. Welgh asks to Eve.
Eve hides the note behind her back and replies, No, I don't.
Just get your books and go to class. I'll make sure you get called down to the office to report it later. I'll also get the janitor to clean it somehow, Mr. Welgh says to Eve. He turns to the crowd and says, Go onto class before you're all late.
I wait with Eve in silence until the crowd has completely disappeared along with Mr. Welgh. I look at Eve who turns around and slams her locker door against the locker beside it. She pulls out her knapsack and stuffs a few books in there. She slams her locker shut and takes a deep breath as she leans against the now dry paint.
Someone knows, Adam. But how? Eve asks in a whisper as she closes her eyes.
I don't know. How could this be? How could someone know if it was in our other life time? Why would they care anyway? I wonder who's doing this? I-
Stop it! Eve exclaims as she takes her bag and walks away.
Wait up! I call as I run after her.
Just go to class, Adam. You shouldn't be dragged into this, Eve says as she continues to walk at a fast pace.
No way. I'm part of this. This letter is referring to us, not just you, but me too, I say as I walk beside her.
Fine. Do you want to come over? Let's go to your locker and get your stuff, Eve says as she stops and turns around.
***
Why did this have to happen? Who can know and how do they know? This doesn't make any sense. I feel so scared right now I can't even think. Eve, cool down. Maybe it was just someone fooling around. No, it couldn't have been. I mean they knew about our past. They even said so.
Hey, I have a note, Adam whispers as he picks up the note that just fell out of his locker.
What does it say? I ask anxiously as I peer over his shoulder.
It says: I know Adam. I know everything. You used to rape Eve. You are a very sick person. I know about your other life. It also doesn't have a signature like your note, Adam reads as he then looks up.
He does know for sure about our past. He knows....., I whisper as I fight to hold the tears in.
Fuck this! Adam shouts quietly as he slams his locker shut after taking his bag.
Come on, let's get out of here, I say as I walk away. As I walk, I take the note out of my pocket and read it a few more times.
I wonder why they would type this? Adam questions as we walk out of the school.
It is weird. This entire fucking morning is weird. A good question is who's doing this and why?
There are a ton of questions that I wish I could ask and answer, Adam replies.
We walk silently to my apartment, each reading each others notes dozens of times. We are unlocking my apartment and stepping inside. The apartment is silent because everyone is at work.
Do you think that we should tell our parents? Adam asks as he sets down his bag.
Not right now. We can tell them later, I reply as I set my bag next to Adam's.
So, now what do we do? Adam asks as he takes a seat on the couch.
I don't know! This is so frustrating that I could scream, I say as I sit
next to him.
I know what you mean. My head hurts and I just feel like killing whoever is doing this, Adam says angrily as he clenches his fists.
We are silent and still for a few minutes until I move closer to Adam and take his face into my hands. I lean forward and kiss him softly at first, but as he kisses me more, I kiss more passionately. I lay back and pull Adam on top of me. He moves his hand up and down my side, and even up into my shirt. I tug on the bottom of his shirt and he pulls away momentarily to let me take it off. He has fear in his eyes as he leans down again to kiss me. He puts a hand up my shirt and places it on my breast as we kiss more and more. Adam stops to take off my shirt and when he does, I unbuckle his belt and pull off his jeans. We continue to undress in the dim room that would be bright if the curtains were open.
Adam breaths heavily as he collapse on me, but still in me. I hold onto him like old times as we both breath roughly. Adam pulls out and takes his boxers to slip on. I lay on the couch naked and reach towards the floor to get my pants and panties. After I get those on, I sit up and place my arm over my breasts. I take my bra and put it on, along with my blue t-shirt.
What has become of us? Adam asks quietly as he pulls a t-shirt over his head.
We are doing exactly what we did in the past; sleeping together out of frustration. Is that our fate? Is that our fucking fate? I ask as I stand up.
Screw fate. It surely has it in for us, Adam replies as he stands up.
What do we do now? I can't even think, I ask as I put my hands over my head.
I have no clue, but I think we should keep these notes from our parents so they don't get too worried about us. Agreed? Adam asks.
I guess so, I reply.
***
Two Weeks Later
Hey Eve, Adam says as he approaches me.
Hi Adam, I greet quietly as I start to undo the combination to my lock on my locker.
Just to warn you, I got another note, Adam says quietly.
Yeah well I'm starting to get used to it. We've been getting notes everyday this week, I say as I open the door to my locker. Sure enough, a note falls out.
What does it say? Adam asks.
It says: Sometimes unexpected things happen to those who aren't being good. Great, now we are getting threats, I say as I finish reading the short note.
Listen, I'm starting to think that we should tell our parents. Remember, only three months ago we were taken to the Digital World and we never did beat that digimon. He could also go into the past and into other parallel time dimensions. He can easily find out our past, Adam says.
Maybe you are right. He probably can go into the future with the way this note sounds, I say thoughtfully.
You know what I don't understand? Why doesn't he just destroy us? I mean he could easily come into our time and destroy us when we don't even notice it.
Don't give him any ideas, I scold as I cover Adam's mouth. He could be listening to us right now.
I know and I'm sorry. So, do we tell our parents? Adam asks.
How about you come over to my house this evening? I ask.
Oh wait, we can't. I have a soccer practice both tonight and tomorrow. Plus, my dad is out of town on a business trip until next Friday and today is only Friday so we need to wait an entire week, Adam replies.
Oh well, the more time to think about what we tell our parents, I say as I shut my locker.
***
Why do I keep throwing up every morning? I vomit into the toilet and then stand up and flush it down. I turn on the water and wash my face.
Today is the day we tell our parents. Of course I feel really sick and why can't I stop throwing up every morning? What's wrong with me?
Are you almost finished in there? Mom asks as she knocks on the door.
Hold on, I call back as I dry my face on the towel and check the inside of the toilet to make sure my vomit got completely flushed down.
I open the door and put on a fake smile as I pass Mom and head towards my bedroom. I shut the door and take my long, blue skirt and slip it on. I next put on my bra and a white tank top. I walk over to the mirror and put my hair into a cute updo that is very popular in my school. I put on a bit of eye liner and eye shadow to finish. I take a deep breath in as I start pretending everything is okay. I open the door to my room and walk out into the hallway. I walk into the kitchen.
Good morning, Eve. You look nice today. Is it picture day today? Dad asks as he looks up from the newspaper.
No it isn't. You know I like to wear my skirt to school when I don't have a gym class, I reply as I sit down at the table.
Oh really? And I thought you were just dressing up for Adam? Dad asks with a grin.
No, Adam and I are just friends. Friends who have gone through a lot together over these passed twenty seven years, I reply.
Twenty seven? Oh right. You guys lived until you were fifteen and then went back to being three years old and now it has been twelve years. Sorry, but math in the morning is something I'm not very good at, Dad says honestly.
I smile at his remark and look at the toast that is on my plate.
Aren't you hungry? Mom asks as she walks into the kitchen.
Not really, I reply.
How come? Eve, you've been acting funny for the past three weeks. What is wrong with you? Every morning this week, you wake up very early and beat me to the bathroom. Am I being paranoid or are you just trying to make yourself look pretty for Adam? Mom asks with a worried face as she sits down.
No, nothing is wrong, I say and then force myself to lie, I am trying to make myself prettier for the guys at school, but not for Adam.
Isn't that sweet, you are trying to pretend you don't like Adam even though it was just a few months ago that you guys were making out, Mom says with a smile.
Or just three weeks ago when we had sex...
Mimi, leave her alone. You're worst then me, Dad says with a laugh.
I'll see you guys later. Is everyone going to be home tonight? I ask as I stand up.
Yes we are. Why? Dad asks.
No reason; I was just curious because I thought you guys could help me study for a major history exam I have tomorrow, I reply with a huge, fake smile.
We would love to help you, Mom says.
That would be great. Well, I'll see you later, I say as I walk out of the kitchen and over to the front door.
I take my school bag as if I am actually going to school, but of course I actually haven't been to school since last Friday. I walk out of the door and close it behind me. I head towards the park where Adam and I have been meeting everyday this week. We pull off skipping school by phoning the school with mature voices and saying that we are sick. I phone the school and pretend that I am mine and Adam's mothers. So far, it has worked. After ten minutes of walking, I walk into the park where Adam is staring at the ground, not noticing me.
Adam looks up and smiles. He says, You look nice today.
Thanks, but that doesn't matter. I have made sure that both my parents will be home tonight, I say as I take a seat on the swing.
My dad got home this morning and they are both going to be home. Now it is just the matter of showing them the notes and trying to figure out some sort of solution, Adam says.
I took the liberty of phoning Lexie and Ray last night. I asked them if anything weird has been happening, I state.
What did they say?
They said nothing was wrong and questioned my purpose for asking. I lied saying that I thought things were too perfect' so I was just curious. They took my lie, I reply.
I was thinking on the way over here and I was wondering, should we go to our lockers and retrieve any letters from there?
I guess so, I reply.
We begin to walk to our school where we haven't been in a week. Adam and I are both silent on the walk over there. After we arrive, we quietly sneak into the school. We scope the hallways and break apart to go to our lockers. I sneak to my locker and open it quietly to find five letters fall out. I pick each one up and close my locker shut, it echoes the hallway. I run towards the door and as I wait for Adam, I read the letters.
One letter writes: the time draws near for the truth comes out. Another one reads: things unexpectedly happen when you don't protect yourself.
I wonder what exactly these letters mean?
Hey, are you ready to go? Adam asks from behind me.
***
The phone rang.
I stop writing and answer the phone on my desk, Musical Copyrights, how may I help you?
Is this Mr. Ishida?
Yes it is. How may I help you? I ask into the phone.
This is Raserfield Junior High School. I would just like to confirm that your child, Eve Ishida, is sick again today, the woman voice said.
Sick again? What are you talking about? I demand.
I'm just guessing that since your child hasn't been to school since last Friday. Also, her mother has called in everyday saying that except today.
I manage to say, Yes, that is correct. Thank you.
I hang up the phone and sigh. What is going on? I know that Mimi hasn't been calling in sick for Eve. She must be doing that herself. But why? I'll call Tai, I'm betting that Adam is doing the same thing.
***
I wonder if the school is starting to think that it is strange how you and I are both sick on the same days and just happen to be best friends?
Well you should know, you called them this morning, I say.
No I didn't. Eve, why would I? You have been calling everyday this week, not me, Adam says.
No, I told you to call today because - oh no. That was in my dream. Damn it! What time is it? I ask.
It is already eleven. No point in calling now. The school always checks the attendance and makes the calls to parents before ten. Come on, we might as well go to your apartment, Adam says in an annoyed voice.
I'm sorry, I whisper. I just feel so out of it.
It is okay. We'll be telling the truth tonight anyway, Adam says as we continue to walk down the street.
I look around at the busy streets as most workers are trying to have lunch. I look up at a billboard that says: Do You Know For Sure?' Stupid billboards. What kind of advertising will they think of next for pregnancy tests? Hold on, pregnancy. No, I couldn't be. Or could I? The vomiting, late period, and even the note said unexpected things will happen if you don't protect. Oh my God, I am pregnant! Oh no! I've become exactly who I said I wouldn't: Mom.
What's wrong? Adam asks.
Nothing except that I'm just a bit worried, I reply, lying through my teeth.
Me too, Adam says.
After a half an hour walk, we reach my apartment building. I walk up the stairs with Adam and unlock the door. We step inside and Adam shuts the door behind him.
Eve, is that you?
I turn around after hanging up my coat to see Mom standing there.
Where have you been? Why haven't you been in school this week? Mom asks.
I'm sorry, but there is something Adam and I should tell you. Maybe you should call his parents, I say shamefully.
We are here already! Mr. Kamiya's voice shouts towards us.
I look at Adam and clear my throat. I follow Mom into the living room where Mr and Mrs. Kamiya sit on the couch while Dad sits on the other couch.
Where have you been? Mrs. Kamiya asks.
We were on a walk, Adam replies truthfully.
And why are you not in school? Dad asks.
Because we are scared to see the outcome. We should tell you guys that we've been getting these notes, Adam replies.
What kind of notes? Mr. Kamiya asks.
Notes probably from the digimon who can go into the past that took us to the Digital World about four months ago. We started getting these notes three weeks ago on a Monday, I reply.
If you want to see them, Eve and I can get them out of our backpack, Adam says as he motions me to follow him.
We walk out of the room and towards the front door where we set our knapsacks earlier. I take my bag and follow Adam back into the living room where our parents sit with anxious faces. I open up my bag and start taking out the fifteen notes that are in there. Adam does the same thing. I pile them on the coffee table in front of my parents and so does Adam. Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya come over to the coffee table and sit on the carpet to read the notes.
You'll see the date on the back of most of them except for five because Adam and I didn't go to school this week. This morning, we went to the school to pick up the rest. If this counts, we had it all planned out to tell you guys tonight, I explain quietly.
Our mothers begin with the first note and after they finish, they pass it on in chronological order to our fathers. Their faces hold the expression of shock and I can't help but feel guilty. I take a quick glance at Adam who has the face expression of guilt. He swallows and looks up at me, giving a weak smile that I return. After some time of reading, Mom is the first to finish.
I somewhat understand the common meaning of these notes, but some of these must have a different meaning. Like this one: things unexpectedly happen when you don't protect yourself. I get the common meaning, but what message could this digimon or whoever is doing this mean? Mom questions.
These notes are very strange and we've been trying to figure them out this past week, Adam replies.
I know what that one means, I say quietly, catching everyone's attention. I bite my lip before I say, It means I'm pregnant.
Adam whispers as he takes a few steps back and falls back on the couch.
Our parents remain quiet, too shocked to say anything.
It all adds up. My morning sickness, late period, this note... it just all makes sense, I explain quietly. The situation finally sinks in that I am pregnant and I turn away to cry.
We made a mistake! Adam exclaims as his voice cracks up.
I know, I say as I try to wipe the tears away.
I feel Mom put her arms around me and I turn around to bury my face into her shoulders. I continue to cry as she rubs my back. I briefly open my eyes to see Adam sitting on the couch, shaking his head while his mom whispers things into his ears.
We made a mistake! Things were so confusing that day! Adam shouts, his voice cracked.
I don't say anything as I continue to cry in my mother's arms. I look over at my father who has an unreadable face expression. I can't continue to stare at him so I close my eyes.
The doorbell rings.
I'll get it, Dad whispers.
We made a mistake, Adam continues to whisper as he shakes his head in disbelief.
Just before the guests enter the living room, Dad says quietly, We are going through a bit of a rough time right now.
Eve, what's wrong? Lexie asks as she enters the living room.
Lexie, so innocent. An innocent virgin who is trying to share her innocence with me. I'm anything but innocent.
After I think that, I cry more.
This wasn't supposed to happen, Adam whispers as he continues to shake his head.
Well it happened, Adam! I shout back as I turn away.
I'm so sorry, Adam whispers.
Don't say that! I scream.
We'll be right back. Eve, Adam, why don't we go talk in the kitchen? Dad suggests.
I can briefly hear Dad and Mr. Kamiya telling Uncle T.K. and Aunt Kari about the notes before they enter the kitchen. After they do, we remain silent. Adam and I sit at the kitchen table while our mothers stand behind us and our fathers stand beside each other.
We were so confused that day, Adam whispers.
It was the Monday that we received the first note. We ditched school and came here, I explain in a whisper.
Eve's locker was vandalized with spray paint that read: I know something. After we found a note in both our lockers, we ditched school and came here, more frustrated then ever, Adam clarifies.
I promised myself I wouldn't get pregnant like Mom did. I broke my promise to myself, I whisper quietly to myself.
I can tell that Mom heard me because she bites her lip and turns away to stare at Dad.
Am I doomed to lose my virginity that way? I ask quietly as I turn away.
The only respond is Adam banging his head on the table and whimpering softly as he struggles to hold the tears back.
Maybe we could continue this later? Mom suggests.
Whatever. It doesn't matter one way or the other, I reply quietly as I follow my parents back into the living room.
Mom sits on the love seat and I sit down too, laying my head on her lap as she strokes my head softly.
These letters are awful, no wonder you are so upset, Lexie comments as she sets down a letter.
I'm pregnant, I state quietly, gazing into the floor.
Lexie doesn't say anything as she looks away with her innocent face to meet with the eyes of her parents. She tries to put a weak smile on her face, but can't.
I'm so jealous of you. You're so pure and innocent and what am I? I don't even know. Why can't I have the face of innocence? Why can't I be as innocent as you are, Lexie? I ask directly to Lexie as I continue to let Mom strike through my hair.
I don't know what you are talking about... Lexie replies, her voice trembling.
I'm talking about the innocence both of your parents had when they were young. I want to be innocent too, I whisper as I sit up and wipe away the tears that are falling down my face.
Lexie can't say anything because she knows I'm right. She takes another one of the thirty notes and brings up to her face so that she can't see me staring at her enviously. I lay my head back down on my mother's lap and close my eyes, praying that I can change the day three weeks ago.
We should get going. Call us when you need us, Matt, Uncle T.K. states as he motions for Lexie to stand up.
If you need anything Eve, Adam I'm here for you, Lexie whispers as she walks out of the living room.
Take care, Aunt Kari says as she hugs Mr. Kamiya.
Matt, I think we'll go now too, Mr. Kamiya says as she releases his hug from Kari.
Call me later, Dad says as he follows Adam and Mr and Mrs. Kamiya out of the living room.
After the door shuts, there is silence. Dad walks into the living room and takes a seat on the larger couch while Mom continues to brush her hand through my hair. This awkwardness drives me crazy and I can feel myself losing it again. I close my eyes and bite my lip in order to keep myself from crying. Warm, sticky blood enters my mouth from the pressure I exert on my lip with my tooth.
Everything will be okay, Mom whispers as she continues to stoke my head.
No it won't. There's a digimon who obviously can go into the past and future out to destroy our lives. He can also go into parallel time dimensions. And now I'm pr- preg- pregnant, I whisper as I choke up.
Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to worry about your
grades right now, Dad whispers quietly, obviously meaning for it to bring my spirits up.
I'm so sorry. I didn't want my life to turn out like this. I didn't mean to sleep with Adam. It just happened and now I wish I had never come home that day with him, I whisper.
We don't blame you at all, Dad says quietly.
I look into his eyes and ask, You don't?
No. We are trying to understand the pain you are going through and we realize that sometimes being needed by someone is the best way to get out your frustration. I only wish that you would have protected yourself, Mom replies.
A wave of guilt comes over me. I say, I'm sorry Mom. I didn't mean to make you sound bad in the kitchen. I know that you got pregnant and it was only an illusion, but I'm jealous because this isn't an illusion. This is real and now I have to deal with it and not put all the pressure on you. I'm so sorry, I say.
Don't be guilty. Forget about me and just try to focus on yourself right now. I'll always be there for you and so will your father, Mom says.
I'm going to go have a shower. I want to be clean, not dirty, I state as I stand up and walk out of the living room.
I walk down the hallway and towards my room. I open and shut the door behind me. The room is silent except for the movement of myself across the carpet. I grab my towel and underneath it, I notice a small pocket knife that belongs to Adam. He must have forgotten it. I pick up the knife and open it to find dried up blood along the edge of the knife. Two can do this. I take the small knife and make a short, deep slit in my wrist. The pain feels good compared to the pain in my heart. I realize what I am doing and drop the knife.
No, I can't make the same mistake as Dad. I leave it on the floor and take my towel, a sweater, jeans, and a clean pair of socks to the bathroom.
Once I am inside of there, I set my clothes and towel on a small shelf. I take a piece of toilet paper and wet it a bit before I press it against my wrist. As I do this, I walk over to the tub and put a plug over the drain so that I can pour myself a bath. I next walk back in front of the mirror where I look at the appearance of myself. My eyes are bloodshot and part of my eye liner is running down my face, well was, and now is dried there. I take the piece of toilet paper which I use over my cut and throw it into the garbage can. I take another piece and wet it before I wipe my face with it. After I do that, I put it to my wrist. I am about to take off my clothes but I first reach into my pocket and pull out my digivice. I set it on the counter and stare at it. After I do that, I walk over to the bath tub and turn off the tap. Since it is too hot, I wait a few minutes for it to cool.
I almost forget about my bath as I continue to stare at the device that has ruined my life. I am about to take off my sandals that I usually take off at the door, but didn't because of the situation when the digivice begins to beep. I pick it up and find myself going through another strange digital process. I land harshly.
You're here, Adam whispers as he walks over to me.
I guess you are too, I say quietly as I stand up.
We stare at each other quietly, unsure of what to say.
Why didn't you tell me sooner? Adam asks.
I didn't realize it until we were walking to my apartment this afternoon. We passed by this pregnancy test billboard and I suddenly realized it, I reply truthfully, not losing the eye contact with Adam.
But still... you could have told me, Adam says sadly.
You could have told me other things too, I say harshly as I walk away from him.
What's that supposed to mean? Adam demands as he runs to catch up to me.
It means that you could have told me that you are slitting your wrists, I answer as I turn around.
Adam's face freezes as he thinks of something to say. He slowly moves his right arm back to hide beside his side. I walk over to him and pull up his long sleeves to the sweater he is wearing. I see two small slits and one larger one that look pretty recent.
How did you know? Adam whispers as he pulls his hand away.
I found your pocket knife in my room. Plus, I'm not stupid. In case if you have forgotten, my dad did the exact same thing when he was depressed, I reply as I turn around. I look at my bare arm, there is nothing to hide my slit with since I never got to put on my sweater. I didn't even get to take my bath.
So, you did it too, Adam whispers as he is suddenly beside me.
Yeah, but I completely regret it. Unlike you, I won't continue to make the same mistake that my father did, I say abruptly.
I'm sorry, Adam says quietly.
Well it won't be my fault if you end up killing yourself. Good bye, I say as I walk away.
Eve I don't know what to say, but don't leave me alone, Adam says quietly.
I turn around and whisper, I don't want to see you go through any pain.
Well, I've made plenty of mistakes and now we are paying for them, Adam says as he motions at my stomach.
I'm sorry too, I say as I walk back towards Adam. I say, I didn't make you feel bad.
Don't worry about it, Adam says as he hugs me.
I break away from our hug and lean my body against a tree. Adam sits down and leans his head against the same tree. He looks up and pats the ground between his legs, motioning me to sit there. I do sit between his legs and lean my back against Adam. He puts his arms loosely around me and allows me to lean my head on his shoulder. Adam kisses the top of my head before he moves into a more comfortable position. I close my eyes and fall into a troubled sleep.
***
The sun shines brightly into my eyes even though they are closed. I open my eyes and lift my arm up over my eyes. I blink a few times, but don't move for the fear of Adam waking up. Too late. Adam moves slightly and moans a bit as he stretches.
We are in the Digital World, aren't we? Adam asks quietly.
I reply as I quickly stand up.
Yesterday's event are replying in my mind over and over again, Adam says quietly.
Same here, I say as I quickly walk a few steps away.
I really wish things didn't have to be like this, Adam comments.
So do I, I whisper as I run my hand through my hair.
Come here, Adam motions as he continues to sit under the tree, leaning against the trunk.
I walk hesitantly over and stand in front of him. He sits up and kneels on his knees. He gives me a small smile before he pulls my waist closer to him. He lifts up my shirt a bit and kisses my stomach, making small circles around my belly button. I put my hands on his head and let him continue kissing me. He stops and takes my hand, pulling it towards the ground. I kneel down and sit on my knees, staring into Adam's eyes. He leans forward and kisses me. I kiss him back and wrap my arms around him. Adam pulls away and has a bit of an anxious look on his face.
Adam whispers, I will always be here for you. I will never leave you.
I know. I love you so much, I say.
I love you too, Adam says with a smile.
How sweet! A familiar voice exclaims.
I turn around to see Kimmy, my old friend, standing there with a huge grin on her face.
Kimmy! How come you're in the Digital World? Are you a Digidestined? I ask happily as I let go of Adam and stand up.
Kimmy doesn't reply and continues to smile.
Adam questions as he stands up.
Kimmy laughs and says, It was so easy to fool you. I just took Kimmy's body and used her knowledge about you, Eve, to do the things I did.
What is she talking about? Adam asks under his breath.
Kimmy, what do you mean? I ask as I back up a few steps into Adam.
I just took Kimmy's body. It was so easy to just use her to trick you.
When we were at that party seven months ago, I made sure your drink that I handed to you had more alcohol than it was supposed to.
Unfortunately, you didn't take my bait, Kimmy explains.
What do you mean, didn't take your bait? Adam asks.
Oh Adam, you are too noble for your own good. Eve was all nice and drunk for you, willing to give her body to you and you didn't take it. Sure you took advantage of her, but you should have slept with her, Kimmy says as she shakes her head.
I stare at Kimmy, too shocked to say anything.
I was finally happy when I began to send you those notes that made you lose your virginity in this life. So very happy. I decided to keep sending these notes so that you could get wrapped up in your own petty problems of sleeping together so you wouldn't notice me. I kept sending these notes from the information that I gathered from the past, future, and other time dimension that you lived and remember. By the way, it was so nice making you feel guilty for raping Eve in your other life. I sent that note on purpose to make you even more frustrated with yourself, Adam, Kimmy says wickedly.
Adam whispers.
Oh yes. It was a wonderful plot and-
What was the point of forcing Adam and I to sleep together? I ask, cutting her off.
Kimmy glares at me and replies, It only makes your minds not as sharp as they could be. It makes you miserable and not thinking clearly. It also helps me by you not being as strong. Also, did I mention?
Mention what? I ask.
Did I mention that I am a digimon inside of Kimmy that has DNA from other digimon? I have DNA from Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, VennomMyotismon, MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, Piedmon, Apocolamon, Arukenimon, Mummymon, MaloMyotismon, Liarmon, Endoimon, Hasioumon, Gorhiomon, Klosiomon, and Rosfitimon. All those digimon's DNA are in me. I also used Liarmon's famous illusions. Guess what illusion I made? Kimmy explains and then asks to me.
What illusion would that be? I ask, unsure if I want to know.
The illusion of your pregnancy. I used Liarmon's power to make the illusion of your pregnancy. So here you were worrying and now you are unprepared for the battle with me, Kimmy replies with a laugh.
I could feel my heart stop beating and I stumble back, but Adam helps me up.
Now Eve, come with me, Kimmy says as she points her finger towards herself.
Don't go, Adam whispers as he holds my hand.
We can either do this the hard way or the easy. I may be in a human's body, but I can still shoot out the attacks, Kimmy says.
Don't go. Please don't leave me, Adam whispers in my ear as he continues to hold me.
I stand ground and wait for the punishment.
Fine, so be it, Kimmy says as she shoots out a black energy from her hands.
I wince as I see it coming straight for me. The attack hits me straight in the stomach and I feel the pain as I hold onto it and cry. I fall into Adam's arms and cry in pain as I hold onto my stomach.
What have you done to her? Adam demands as he brushes the hair away from my face.
Now it is time to come. I just wanted you to feel the pain that I can bring. Adam, don't worry. You'll be dead soon, Kimmy says as she holds up her hands.
I can feel myself being taken away from Adam's safe arms.
***
Now it is time to come. I just wanted you to feel the pain that I can bring. Adam, don't worry. You'll be dead soon, Kimmy says as she holds up her arms to the sky.
Suddenly, Eve begins to fade from my arms as she is taken away. She is completely gone and so is Kimmy. There is silence until I break it.
Eve! Eve! Come back! Don't leave me! Please don't leave me, I scream out as I fall to my knees and bury my head into my hands. I stay like that for at least ten minutes.
We'll get her back.
I look up to see Dad and Mom standing beside me. Mr and Mrs. Ishida are standing behind them followed by Aunt Kari and Uncle T.K. with Lexie. Mr and Mrs. Izumi also stand with Ray. Also, Joe Kido, Cody, Davis, Michael, Ken, Maria, and Wallace are here.
Do you know where she has gone? Mr. Ishida asks softly.
I think Kimmy might have brought her into the past, I reply as I stand up.
Mrs. Ishida asks in disbelief.
This digimon has been in Kimmy's body for about seven months and has been using Kimmy's information as a friend of Eve's against her. Since Kimmy knows her locker combination and stuff, she's the one who put the notes in our lockers. I don't know how she got my locker combination, but that doesn't matter, I answer.
But why would he/she use those notes? Lexie asks.
I'd rather not say, I reply quietly.
How can we find her? Cody asks.
I have to go into the past, I reply.
You can't! Mom exclaims.
I have to. I can't leave Eve there by herself with this maniac of a digimon. He has the DNA from all your past enemies and is using them against us. He used Liarmon's illusions to make Eve's pregnancy, I explain.
Oh my gosh! Mrs. Ishida exclaims as she puts a hand over her mouth.
I close my eyes and try to think of the past, but nothing is coming up with Eve. I open my eyes to find everyone string at me.
I say, She isn't in the past so she must be in the future.
Good luck, Adam, Lexie wishes with a smile.
I smile at her before I close my eyes to think of the future. I try to imagine Eve and Kimmy in the future and when I do, I feel this strong force come over me. I scream in pain as I feel my body fling.
Mom exclaims.
Adam, are you okay? Dad asks as he comes up to me.
Yeah, but my head hurts like hell. I don't know why it didn't work. I could see Eve and Kimmy in the future, but I couldn't go there. Why? I ask to nobody in particular. The answer hit my like a bat does to a baseball. I think I understand. When Eve and I went into the past and traveled back to the future, it wasn't really going into the future but into the present time. What I mean is I can't go into the future, past the present time. How am I supposed to get her now?
I think that the best thing we could do is find our digimon, Mr. Izumi says.
I agree. If Eve somehow gets out of the future and back to the present time, she'll need her digimon. We should go find them, Mrs. Izumi says.
How do we do that? Lexie asks.
Izzy gets his hap top out and locates them. Right Izzy? Uncle T.K. replies and then turns to Izzy to ask.
If I had my lap top here I could do that. Ray, give me your lap top, Izzy says.
Ray goes into his bag and fetches out his lap top. He hands it to his father and closes up his small backpack. Mr. Izumi begins to type.
What if they are really far away in the Digital World? Maria asks.
Then we'll just have to do without them, I reply in frustration.
I can't believe Eve's pregnancy was an illusion, Mrs. Ishida whispers to Mom.
Doesn't that just sound familiar, Mom says with a wink.
It's just such a relief, Mrs. Ishida says.
It isn't to me. We are useless standing around doing nothing while Eve could be being tortured again, I say angrily.
What do you mean by tortured? Davis asks.
In the process of her leaving, Kimmy shot some kind of black light at Eve that made her scream in pain. Before I could do anything, both of them vanished, I reply. I then turn to Dad and ask, How did you know that we left?
Dad replies, Actually, Matt noticed that Eve was taking a bath for three hours so they broke down the door to find an empty bathroom with cold water in the tub.
And you just checked after three hours? Mrs. Izumi asks in her obnoxious voice.
Mr. Ishida looks at me before replying, You have no idea went on that day.
Everyone remains silent and I can tell that they have all guessed what happened. I could feel the anger building up, but I instead clenched my fists besides throwing a temper tantrum. As I clenched my fists I could feel the spot where I slit ted my wrists aching. I pull up the sleeve of my arm, as if I'm checking the time, and look at the dried up blood. Everyone else is peering over Ray's computer screen to find our digimon.
I touch where I made the three slits and close my eyes. I open them to find Mr. Ishida staring at me. I quickly cover my sleeve, as if he hasn't noticed the marks on my wrists, and walk over to the computer screen beside my parents.
Have you found them yet? Wallace asks.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to locate them, Mr. Izumi replies sadly.
We don't have time for this. I wish Eve were here now so I could help her fight, I say in frustration.
Suddenly Eve transports right in front of me, an arm lengths away. She looks shocked, but she takes a step towards me.
You're okay, I whisper as I wrap my arms around her.
I tricked Kimmy and escaped, Eve whispers as she returns her hug.
Mrs. Ishida exclaims as she runs towards us.
Eve lets go of me and welcomes her mothers arms.
How did you escape? Mr. Ishida asks as he hugs Eve after Mrs. Ishida did.
There's no time for that, Eve replies as she releases from their hug. She turns to me and says, You and I need to go into the future and get this digimon out of Kimmy. We then need to fight.
When I tried to come rescue you, I couldn't travel into the future, I say.
You can only do it with two people together. I tricked Kimmy into telling me that information. You and I can go into the future together, Eve explains.
Yeah, but then how did Kimmy or the digimon or whatever you want to call this thing go into the future if there is only one of them? I ask.
Technically, there are two beings inside Kimmy's body: the digimon and Kimmy herself is trapped. The only problem is how are we going to defeat this digimon if he's in Kimmy? Also, who are we going to fight with? If our digimon can only Digivolve to the Champion level, how can they defeat a digimon with the DNA of a ton of digimon who are at the Mega level? Eve questions.
That is what we are here for, Dad says with a wink. Mr. Ishida nods in agreement.
How are you supposed to fight with your digimon if we are in the future? Eve asks.
You need to bring Kimmy here, Mr. Ishida replies.
Good plan, let's go into the future. Or can we just wait until Kimmy comes into the past to get us? I ask as I take Eve's plans.
Eve lets me take her hands and replies, She's waiting for us. I can just tell, she's waiting for me to bring you back. It was too easy of an escape.
Let's go for it, I say with a smile.
***
Let's go for it, Adam says with a smile.
We'll be back soon, I say to everyone as I close my eyes and try to imagine Kimmy waiting for us in the future.
Sure enough, when I open my eyes, Kimmy is waiting patiently. She smiles with glee as we let go of each other and stand beside one another. My shoulder brushes against Adam's and he is trembling a bit.
So Eve, you decided to come back? Kimmy asks evilly.
Yes we did. Now get out of Kimmy's body and face us like a real digimon, I say.
Now you've made me mad. Now you will feel pain again, Kimmy says angrily as she shoots out the same black energy from her hands towards me.
I don't have any time to move as it strikes me. I scream in pain as I fall on my knees, clutching my stomach that feels as if someone is kicking it.
Adam steps in front of me and yells out, Don't you dare hurt Eve again!
Why, are you that in love with her? Or could you be? I mean you did rape her in all and then you went and got her pregnant. Than again, that was an illusion, but that doesn't matter, Kimmy says evilly.
Don't listen to her, Adam. She's trying to make you less strong, I say as I continue to hold my stomach that hurts like hell.
Adam cries out as he helps me stand up and holds my hand as we begin to run. He turns around and whispers, We have to pretend as if we are scared of her. Let's go back into the present time, but not where our parents are. Imagine a lake and we'll go there together. Then, we can give our parents time to find our digimon to attack. Ready?
As ready as I will ever be, I reply as I continue to hold my stomach.
Think of it now, Adam whispers.
I close my eyes and stop running as I imagine myself with Adam in front of a large lake, not too far away from our parents. I open my eyes to find Adam and I there, standing in front of the large, clear lake.
You actually thought you could run? Kimmy asks with a laugh.
Now it is time to run, Adam says as he pushes me forward.
I begin to gain speed as the pain is starting to fade. I run a bit ahead of Adam through the lush forest as we try to out run her. We aren't sure which was we are running, but soon, we hear voices. We keep running towards the voices we hear as Kimmy runs not too far behind us, gaining with each step.
Mom exclaims as we run into a clearing.
I say as I run into Mom's arms and hug her tightly.
Are you forgetting about me? Kimmy asks as she walks calmly into the clearing.
And we would try to remember you why? Adam asks slyly.
For that comment, you die second. First, I have a settle to score with Eve, Kimmy replies coolly as she stares into my eyes.
And what score would that be? I ask.
Kimmy doesn't reply as she has a horrified look on her face. I look back to see the huge metal wolf, armored beast looking digimon, and a beautiful angel.
I think advantages have changed, Mr. Kamiya says. He looks at his digimon and says, WarGreymon, finish him.
I exclaim as I stick out my arms. I say, We can't destroy her, are you forgetting that my friend is that person? An innocent person can't die because a digimon is controlling them. That isn't fair to Kimmy. She didn't ask for that.
What do I do? WarGreymon asks to Mr. Kamiya.
Just wait, Mr. Kamiya answers.
We have to get this digimon out of Kimmy's body. But how? Oh, I have an idea! We can just bug him until he gives in, Adam says brightly.
Good idea, Lexie says.
Why are you in that girls body? Are you scared that we will beat you?
Adam asks slyly.
Kimmy glares at him before replying, I have my reasons, but if you insist. The only thing is that if I come out of Kimmy on my own, she dies.
Don't come out! I shout. I turn to Adam and ask, Now what?
There must be a solution, Ray says as he turns away to think.
I can't let Kimmy get hurt because of this ruthless digimon. This is so complicated. How can we get him out of her? Wait a second, he said that if he comes out of Kimmy on his own, she dies. What if Kimmy pushes him out? It's worth a try.
I have an idea, I whisper as Kimmy patiently taps her foot. I look at Kimmy and shout, Kimmy, can you hear me? You have to fight this evil inside of you so that you can return to your regular self. You have to! Please Kimmy, you must. We can take care of the rest.
Kimmy's eyes look frightened and she starts hitting herself on the head. After she does that, a black shadow comes from her mouth and the shadow swirls around her body. The shadow next stops and stays very still. It then starts to take on a physical shape. Kimmy's body falls to the ground.
This pathetic human may have been able to push me out, but I will win the battle against you. I will win you, Eve. The shape says as it stats looking like a giant bird. Once he is this bird, he says, You have seen my human form and what I am like when I am in a body, but now you see the true me. Prepare to die, Eve.
Why does he mostly have it in for you, Dad asks to me. He then looks at the wolf digimon and says, Go for it, MetalGarurumon.
You help MetalGarurumon, WarGreymon, Mr. Kamiya says.
You too, Angemon, Uncle T.K. says, but first, you better Digivolve one more time.
Angemon, Digivolve to MagnaAngemon!
The three digimon begin to fight with this digimon while Mom, Adam, and I take Kimmy's body away from the scene. We lay her down on the ground and watch the fight.
What about our digimon? Adam asks to Mom.
Unfortunately, Izzy couldn't locate them. He only located Patamon, Gabumon, and Agumon, Mom replies.
Too bad, Lexie whispers as she watches the fight.
Metal Wolf Claw! MetalGarurumon shoots as ice comes from his mouth.
Terra Force! WayGrymon shouts as he takes the huge, orange energy ball and throws it at the digimon.
Gate of Destiny! MagnaAngemon yells as he makes a circular, gold gate.
The unknown digimon begins to scream as the two shots from
WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon hit him, sending him into the gate. The digimon holds onto the edge of the gate as he is being sucked through and shouts, This wasn't supposed to happen! I went into the future and saw that you were miserably alone, Adam. In order to fulfill that image, I wanted to destroy Eve so that it would come true!
That's what you get for believing in future images! Adam shouts gleefully.
You are being destroyed so that you can never try to ruin my life again. You die because you are stupid! I yell out.
Also, you do have the DNA of other digimon... digimon that we have destroyed! You are foolish to believe that you could have won us, Dad says thoughtfully as Mr. Kamiya laughs.
The digimon yells as he is sucked into the gate which is now closed and disintegrating.
We did it! Lexie exclaims as she hugs Ray, who blushes.
Kimmy questions as she opens her eyes.
I exclaim as I kneel beside her and help her sit up. I look around before saying, I think we are in the country right now. We are on a field trip and you go hit by a rock that was thrown by-
Eve, I can remember everything, Kimmy says quietly. She sits up more and says, I'll keep your secret. I never knew you had this kind of life. I am so sorry, about everything. Is your stomach okay? I mean I had black light coming from my hands.
I'm fine, I say as I wrap my arms around her. I whisper, Thank you, for promising to keep my secret. It's bad enough that you were sucked into this mess, but if that secret got out, I'd be known as a slut.
Oh Eve, what a terrible life you must have, Kimmy says as she hugs me.
I look up at my parents and then over to Adam as I rely, No way! I may have hardships, but everyone has them in life. Maybe I have more, but I have to promise myself I won't let them affect me anymore. It's time to move on.
***
One Week Later
I guess I'll go get you some paper so you can do your homework, I say as I stand up and walk out of the living room.
Adam calls as I walk down the hallway.
I open the door to my bedroom and walk inside. I get out a few pieces of paper from my desk and as I start to head back, I notice the pocketknife. I walk over to it and pick it up before I walk out of the room. I walk back into the living room and smile at Adam.
I say,
Adam looks confused but holds out his hands in time to catch the pocketknife I tossed. He briefly looks at it before he sets it on the coffee table. I sit beside him and hand him the paper. Adam also sets that down on the coffee table. He looks over and grins. I smile back. Adam leans forward and begins to kiss me. I let him kiss me and set down the sheet of paper I brought for myself. I lay back on the couch and Adam lays on me, still kissing. I put my hand at his side and move it up and down. As he kisses me, he slides his hand up my shirt and feels around before settling it down on my breast. I can briefly hear the faint sound of doors shutting.
Stupid neighbors, them and their fights. Why d they always have to slam doors? I continue to kiss Adam in broad daylight. He moves away from my lips and begins to kiss my neck. I tilt my head to let him and open my eyes to see the upside down image of Dad. For a split second I think I was imagining it, but now I realize that he is actually standing there.
Dad clears his throat. Adam stops and looks up. He very quickly takes his hand out of my shirt and sits off me.
I sit up and ask while blushing, What are you doing home so early?
My boss let me go early, Dad replies as he walks over to the other couch and sits on it. He looks at Adam and says, You know, it isn't that good.
I look at Adam who looks nervously at me before he looks away. I give him a quizzical look and then look back at my father.
Also, you could have done a better job at hiding it, Dad says coolly.
I finally understand that Dad means the pocket knife after he motions towards it on the coffee table.
There isn't any point in hiding it, I don't do that anymore, Adam says quietly.
Than why is it on the table? Dad asks.
He left it here one day by accident. Dad, I also did it too, I whisper as I hold up my arm where the small slit is almost completely gone.
Dad looks hurt and stares at me intently. I equally stare back.
Don't blame Eve, it was my fault. When I left it here, she found it and-
Don't cover up for me. It was the day I thought I was pregnant. I found the knife and slit myself, but I do regret it. And after I realized what I was doing, I dropped the knife immediately and went to take my bath, which I never did get to take that day, I explain.
When Eve and I found each other that day, she got really mad at me which convinced me to stop. I only slit my wrists three times after the day we slept together, Adam says, don't be mad at her.
I'm not mad. A bit disappointed that you thought it was the only solution. I know you guys know that I also slit my wrists and I also know it isn't my place to tell you what to do, but I hope you don't continue because I don't want to see you go through the pain I did, Dad says.
Adam stands up and shoves the knife and books into his backpack. He bows and says, Thank you sir. I should be going now. Adam turns to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek as he says, I'll call you later.
I say as Adam leaves the living room, gets on his coat, and opens and closes the door behind him.
So, do you think that I got through to him? Dad asks.
I'm positive, I reply with a smile as I stare into the direction where Adam left.
So, how long has this little fun time been going on for? Dad asks curiously with a grin on his face.
Almost five months, I reply, blushing, Also for the record, we don't go any further than that point.
That's nice to know, Dad says with a laugh.
I'm going to finish my homework in my room because you are making me way too embarrassed, I say as I get up and gather all my books together.
That's fine with me, I want to watch some television, Dad says
.
I say as I walk out of the room with a load of books.
I walk into the hallway and over to my room beside my parents. I close the door behind me and set my homework on my desk. I then walk over to the balcony that I have in my room, which connects with my parents room, and step outside into the cool, breezy air.
I look to my right to see Adam walking up the emergency step stares. He climbs over the railing and sets his bag on the floor. He quickly leans down and kisses me by surprise. I almost fall over, but manage to keep my balance. Adam leads me back into my room and shuts the screen door behind me. I lead him to my bed and lay down, pulling Adam with me. As we kiss, the phone rings.
I call out, Got it, Dad! I pick up my cordless phone and press the talk' button as I ask, Hello, Eve speaking?
Hi Eve, Kimmy's voice says on the other line.
I greet as I push Adam off me.
He sits up and rolls his eyes at me. I give him a quick smirk.
So, what are you doing right now?
I reply, lying.
Sounds like fun, Kimmy says sarcastically.
Oh, but it is, I say eagerly.
Adam gives me a quick smirk before he leans down and pulls up my shirt. He begins to kiss my stomach softly and lightly runs his finger up and down my side. I giggle softly for his fingers are tickling me.
What are you laughing about? Kimmy asks.
Nothing, now what were you saying?
Oh, well Danny has...
I begin to ignore Kimmy's babbling as Adam's kissing gets more intense.
The phone slips out of my hand and lays on the pillow beside me. All that is on my mind is the good feeling that Adam is giving me. He continues to kiss me as the phone lays beside me. I can barely hear Kimmy talking anymore.
Eve! Eve! Kimmy screams into the phone.
I jerk my head up and grab the phone. I say, I'm still here.
Than what have I been saying for the last five minutes? Kimmy asks.
You were talking about Danny, I reply coolly.
And what about him? Kimmy asks suspiciously.
I am about to answer when Adam begins to tickle my stomach softly. I begin to laugh and reply, I don't know, but I have to go.
What's wrong with you? Kimmy asks.
Nothing I- I reply, but then laugh again as Adam tickles me more.
Is Adam there or something?
No... I mean yes. I don't know but I will call you later, around seven. Bye, I say as I turn off the phone. I laugh and ask, What were you doing that for?
Because I wanted your undivided attention, Adam replies as he sits up.
You definitely have it, forever, I whisper as I lean forward to kiss
Adam.
Our lips meet.
The End of everything!
