Part 3
"Tai, Tai," Matt called out amiably as he worked his way to the bedroom, thinking that maybe Tai had just decided to sleep the whole time during his day off. Actually he had the whole week off.
"TAI!!" Matt yelled at the top of his lungs, feeling a little angry that Tai hadn't answered him yet and he hoped to scare the boy so badly he would fall out of bed. Matt felt a little bit worried when Tai still didn't answer and a quick search of the apartment proved it was empty.
"Where did that boy get to?" Matt wondered to himself. He had come home for lunch to see his boyfriend, but apparently that wasn't happening. He made himself a sandwich and sat back on the couch flipping on the TV.
As Matt sat his coke can on the coffee table he noticed that the phone was off hook. Feeling uneasy he settled it back into the cradle and stared pensively at it.
"I wonder who called," he muttered to himself snapping off the TV irritably. Matt snatched up the phone when it rang, praying it was Tai.
"Hello?" he demanded.
"Hey Matt, um I'm sorry about earlier," came Daisuke's voice.
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't Jun call you, not half an hour ago? I've been trying to get a hold of you since then, but it was busy."
"I just got back home, the phone was off the hook. I guess she got a hold of Tai. What'd she say to him?" Matt demanded loudly. Daisuke had to hold the phone about a foot away from him and it was a second before he processed the jumbled words.
"She had a sleep over last night and this morning the girls decided to play truth or dare. Some chick dared June to call up a boy and tell them she was pregnant with their kid. Then they randomly picked someone from MY address book. I'm sorry Matt, I only got home after they hung up."
The phone nearly slipped from Matt's fingers, but he forced the numb digits to close tightly around the phone. "Good bye," he said thickly. He let the phone drop down into his lap as he stared at it with tears filling his eyes.
