Wow, its been forever since i wrote something... After writing the first
part of this story,
i was asked to do a sequel, i put some thought into it, trying to decide
how i could
possibly go about a sequel for my fic, because i hadn't done a sequel yet,
and i wasn't
sure I had left the end very open for one. But so i gave it my best shot,
and here goes....
Curtains... The Sequel of Scared for Life
Its been about two years since dad had died. I was 20 now, T.K. was 16. He was so diffrent now. He always looked so grown up. His blond hair had grown pretty long and he had just recently got it cut off. It was fairly short now with some spike to it. I was ashamed at the fact he still had not gone with the hair gel option. T.K. had become my responsibility after both mom and dad had died. I was 20 years old with no clue about anything. The Kamiya family has ment everything to me in the fact that they had helped me take care of Tareku, plus they offered us a good meal whenever we needed it. We still had some money problems but we managed to keep the apartment. I was working two jobs besides attending college. I had my band and a small job asa waiter. Usually my jobs were after school so T.K. went to Kari's house after school everyday. I would come and pick him up at night, sometime eatting dinner with the Kamiyas. Tai still hadn't moved out which had caused his mom to become pretty angered. Twenty years old and still living at home. I swear she was ready to kick him out pyshically, and I'd definatly want to be there to watch.
Tonight was one such night where I was at the Kamiya's. I had just finished dinner. "Thanks again Mrs. Kamiya. T.K. you ready to go?" He looked at Kari. "Umm i have to go fetch my stuff. Be right back." I sat in the chair as Mrs. Kamiya refilled my coffee cup. It was about ten minuets before T.K. emerged looking almost dazed. "Okay then lets go. Bye and thanks again Mrs. Kamiya. Bye Tai!" I shouted walking out the door but then I noticed Miora clutched to my leg. "Oh bye sweet heart. I'll see you tommrow!" "I swear she likes you more. You want her you can have her." i heard Tai's voice. "Nah I already have one that isn't mine."I added with a smile and shut the door behind me.
It was about eight and I was watching the tv and trying to do my homework. T.K. was on the floor playing with the snake he had just recently suckered me into buying. But I guess it wasn't bad. It kept him busy. It was fine as long as it didn't get loose. God i hate snakes! It was just about that time that T.K. brought out the mice. Little white ones with pink noses. The squeeking was driving me insane as i tried hard to do calculus. But even the thought of the snake eatting the mice was enough. "T.K.! Don't you have to go to bed??" He looked up, dangling another mouse by its tail. "Nope its only 8!" "JUST GO!" I said through gritted teeth. He gave me a look, picked up the mice and snake. About a minuet later i heard his door slam. "Good one Matt." i mumbled to myself.
That weekend brought news that was good for some, bad for others. Tai had asked me to go look around town with him for an apartment. I knew his mom was happy but i was disapointed. At everyone we found i would try to find something wrong with it. It wasn't so much as I was being selfish, just that i didn't want to lose my best friend. It would be diffrent not seeing Tai everyday when I went to pick up T.K. The reason I stayed for dinner wasn't because i was hungry, but because it was time to catch up with Tai. So if Tai was gone, I just didn't know how i would get along. Finally though, it got late and we decided to head home. Tai was disapointed that he couldn't find anywhere suitable to his needs. "Well, theres always next time right?" I said with a triumphant smile on my face. Knowing Tai, it would be a while before he would decided to do this again. We stopped at a McDonalds on the way home. I always hated the place, but Tai loved it and i felt i kind of owed him. "Some scouts came to my game the other day." Tai mentioned between mouth fulls of fry and burger. "Oh? Like from...?" "From the pros. I didn't talk to any of em, but it was cool to know they were there." "Thats great, hey you never know, maybe they liked you!" "I doubt it, I don't think I'm pro material yet.." I just smiled at him and took a sip of my soda, and begain staring out the window. I was just starting to daydream as Tai begain droning on about something, when i saw Tareku and Kari walking down the street. They were holding hands and Kari said something because T.K. begain laughing, then leaned over and gave her a peck on the lips. She smiled and they kept walking. I decided it best not to tell Tai, because poor Kari would never hear the end of it.
Later that night, i walked into the living room where T.K. was watching tv.
"So then... how was your day?" "Same as usual, hung out with Kari." "So umm tell me a little bit more about you and Kari." He turned to me, a questioning look on his face. "Whats there to say? We're just friends." "Fine, fine, you don't have to tell me if you don't want, but i saw you kissing her today." And with that i exited the room towards my own, a little smile on my face.
Okay, so its a work in progress :) Let me know what you guys think and if you like it like you like the first part!
