I am like the happiest person alive. Who wouldn't be in my situation? I just got the best Christmas present ever and it's all thanks to her. What is this magnificent present and why is it so magnificent?
OK, imagine the happiest moment in your life whatever it is. Got that? Now think of that like a million times better. I feel like I'm walking on air and nothing could bring me down. Sora made her decision and guess what, she choose me.
She picked me. I told you I had a good reason. She choose me. It hasn't quite sunk in yet so I'm probably going to keep repeating it again and again until it does. She picked me. Sora picked me. She choose me, and not Tai.
All right, I take back what I said before, you know about nothing being able to bring me down. Almost nothing can bring me down. Now when you're this happy it takes a lot and I do mean a lot to bring you back to earth. Something like the death of a love one, or a disaster killing thousands. Or realizing that the girl that your best friend loves more than anything in the world and has been in love with since he first laid his eyes on her, just picked you over him. Priceless.
Considering the events of our friendship together over the past five or so years, Tai isn't the sort of person to throw it all away for some girl. He would never ever do that over some girl. But the question is, would he do it for Sora?
I'm probably the first person to admit that Sora is different from other girls. I have girls like June throwing themselves at me every time I appear in public, and believe me Sora is nothing like them. There's something about her that makes her stand out and grabs your attention away from anything and everything. She's got his inner-beauty that more than matches her beautiful exterior.
I'm so glad Tai loves her so much. I know it sounds really stupid and crazy but it makes sense. When you love someone enough all that matters is their happiness nothing else even comes close, not even your own. That's how much Tai loves Sora. I've just gone and screwed over his one chance for happiness and what does he do? Absolutely nothing, I know he's never really had violent tendencies, but I mean think about what I did.
I was so concerned about whether or not Sora would choose me that I didn't even consider the effect it would have on Tai if she choose me. I didn't think of the effect it would have on our friendship, on his and Sora's. I'm supposed to be in love with Sora and I didn't even think of the toll making this decision most likely had on her. Am I some kind of incompetent imbecile? What kind of friend am I who disregards his friendships as easily as someone disregards rubbish? What kind of boyfriend am I who doesn't even consider how his actions partake on the one he says he loves?
What kind of idiot gives me of all people the crest of friendship? Somebody up there definitely screwed up when they figured I deserved it and that I was worthy to be part of the digi-destined. I've never been any good at the friendship thing, in the digital world I spent a lot of my time fighting and now this. Friends don't screw over friends. And friends definitely don't lead on friends' girlfriends and fall in love with them. I know I didn't really lead her on, but still I think that friendship just found a new all time low.
Sora told me what he said when she told him last night. "It's not your fault and it's not Mats.' Stuff like this happens." He's right stuff like this happens, not to most people, but for some strange and unknown reason, all this bad stuff only happens us. An evil talking tree convinces me to destroy my best friend and his digimon. We get turned into key rings by some kind of freak clown accident. My little brother is kidnapped by a puppet, his sister kidnapped first by a vampire and then some mutated sea- monkeys.
I used to think that if you had a bad spell of luck it only meant that you were destined for a good streak. I used to think that everyone got an even share of luck, what joke.
Some of us, me for example, will have every good thing matched by a much more terrible bad thing every single time at the exact same time i.e. now. Sora is this amazing girl with so much going with her you wouldn't expect her to fall for jerk like me who screws up his best friends life, but somehow she did, that's the good part. I screwed up my best friends life in a matter of seconds, just in case it isn't as obvious as it sounds, that's the bad part.
Idiot should be my middle name.
You know, I should write a song about this.
Rules are made to be broken, but codes are made to stand.
I wish someone had told me before my life got out of hand.
Did you ever wonder why, why friendship made a code?
So you wouldn't end up walking upon the lonely road.
When you decide to follow your heart don't let desire take the wheel
Desire breaks the boundaries between what is true and what's surreal
Remember all your values the ones you know by heart
Because friendship made a code and codes are meant to last.
Masterful, if I do say so myself. That's music for you, simplifying what's wrong. It's always what's wrong, never right. Being in love with Sora seems so right, but it was always a wrong. You have to look at it from a different perspective, I could go on a little more about screwing over my best friend but I think that's the basic plot of this entry and you've got the point by now.
I wish none of this had ever happened. I bet that because of me Tai has completely given up on love. I know it's going to be all my fault when he gets a second chance at happily ever after and he doesn't take it because he sees no point in loving anyone anymore. When love is right there and all he can see is this mess that I got him into and the twisted remains of his heart.
So here's to friendship. I hope that no one else has a friend like me, selfish and brainless caring more for anything and everything else than his best friend. Let's just all hope I'm a once in a lifetime sort of thing or even better a once in a million years. That makes about 1,000,50 years I figure till the next Jackass comes along with as little disregard for his friends as I do.
Hope he doesn't make the same mistakes I did. Hope that Jackass' will have evolved by that time to something more desirable.
He finally closed the black leather book and took a look around his room. There was a picture of the entire digi-destined team standing together back when it was the eight of them. Kari and TK sat at the front of the group smiling at the camera. 'They always did make a cute couple' he thought.
Himself and Tai stood in the middle of the next row, Tai behind Kari and Matt behind TK. Sora stood next to Tai, the two sneaking meaningful glances at each other.
'I've never seen anyone look at each other the way those to would look at each other. It was almost as if they didn't even realize we were there.'
Matt sighed. Tai was like a brother to him. He would do anything to make sure he didn't loose that friendship. He picked up the phone and dialed Tai's number.
"Hello Kari speaking," Kari answered after a few rings.
"Hey Kari it's Matt. Can I talk to Tai?" Matt asked.
"Sure I'll just say bye to TK then put you through," she told him.
"Thanks Kari," Matt replied. He waited a few minutes before the phone was taken off hold.
"Hello?" the voice asked.
"Hey Tai," Matt offered. "Can we meet somewhere? I need to talk to you about something really important, too important to talk about over the phone."
Silence was the reply.
---------- to be continued ----------
So what's Matt' ingenious plan to make sure his friendship isn't in ruins, and how is Tai going to react. If anyone has any real good ideas write them with your reviews. I hope all you Matt and Sora fans are happy, cause I've always been a Tai and Sora fan myself. Thanks for reading please review.
By the way could any of you tell me their last-names because I need them for future chapters, they would be very handy in an epilogue.
