The skies grew dark and rain poured out of the clouds that hid the warm glow
of the sun. I hated rainy days, especially this particular day, April 23rd.
It was a day of sadness for everyone.
Flash Back
I opened the door to a kind face, his hair was blonde and eyes a deep blue,
he held a black umbrella which shielded his head from the pouring rain.
"Close your eyes," he said. I did as he said knowing that he was going to
give me something. He went to the back of me and put something around my
neck, then returned to his original place. "Ok you can open them now," he
said. I opened my eyes and stared at a small crystal tear drop connected to
a silver chain. "Oh it's beautiful TK!". I said throwing my arms around him
and kissing him on the cheek. I stepped under the umbrella and we walked
down the path to the movies. After the movie the rain poured like anything.
He held my hand as we walked back to his house for a digi meeting. We were
just about to go in when I realized that I'd forgotten my digivice and
crest. TK waited at the door while I took the umbrella and ran across the
road and down the path to my house.

There was a knock at my door, it was Tai, he sat on my bed and held me in
his arms. "It wasn't your fault Kari!" Tai said. I burst into tears and
buried my face in his shirt. Tai' s eyes flooded. "Just leave me!" I said
standing up. "All right," Tai said walking out my room. "I hate today!" I yelled
breaking a heart shaped glass box. I cut my hand trying to pick up the glass
which was scattered across my floor. I glanced over at the shattered glass
and picked up a silver chain, on the end of it was a small crystal that
reflected colours and made patterns on my wall. The crystal was a tear
drop, much like the one rolling down my cheek. April 23rd , why did it have
to be April 23rd ..

I returned with my digivice and crest but I was still on the other side of
the road. The people up the road were rich and were moving house. They
needed 3 moving trucks to move all their stuff. TK smiled then beckoned for
me to come. Tai and the others came down stairs and winked at TK. I could
hear the trucks coming , all three, soon I could the first one. "Wait till
they've passed!" shouted Mimi but her shouts were drowned out by the noise
of the trucks.

I put the necklace on and lay down on my bed. TK was buried in my thoughts.
In the corner of my room were gifts just for me, digi gifts, then the first
thing popped into my mind Patamon, poor Patamon. If only I listened, "IF
ONLY I KNEW!" I screamed throwing my pillow at the gifts..
Flash Back
I ran onto the road and attempted to cross it, the trucks were getting
closer, but I was sure that I would make it, then my ankle faulted and I
fell right in the middle of the road. I got up but was too late I couldn't
move in time . "KARI!" yelled TK as he ran to me pushing me out the way,
but he ran out of time and the truck. Hit him! "TK!" Screamed Matt running to
the motionless boy that lay on the road. He was gone forever.

My heart had shattered just like the glass box. I miss him so much. He was
there when I needed him, He loved me as I do him. When I was scared or sad
he would hold me in his arms and fill me with hope. Why did he have to go on
April 23rd .
Flash Back
Everyone left the funeral except me. "Why did you have to yesterday. ON MY
BIRTHDAY!" I yelled. My tears rolled down my cheeks and landed on the
coffin of which TK lay in. I will miss you for all eternity. I looked behind
me and saw Gatomon waiting for me, I don't think she under stood that TK had
just died. All she knew was TK went to sleep and never woke up.

The rain stopped, I broke open my money jar and took out all my money then
went to the local florist and bought white roses, the type TK had gotten me
on out first date. I walked into the cemetery and looked for TK's grave,
when I found it Matt was sitting there playing his harmonica as if TK was
alive and actually sitting with him. Matt looked up at me, hit eyes blood
shot. He put his head down and cried uncontrollably. I put the flowers on
the grave and sat next to Matt who'd had calmed down. I rested my head on
Matt's shoulder like he was a brother. He jerked away and stood up throwing
for-get-me-knot's on TK's resting place, then walked out of the cemetery,
patamon on his head crying. I held the necklace in my hands then put it on
the stone that told who's grave this is, the kissed my hand and pressed it
firmly on the stone. "I will always love you"
