The Boys Of Summer
ST: (sniff) It's with much regret that I end this story. This is the final chapter, and I hope you all enjoyed it. I really did. Of course, it's no secret that I'm going to do a sequel, but the only question is: When? That I do not know, for I have another sequel in the making AND a collab with PerpleXed that must be tended to. So, it's all up to you: continue on to the bos sequel, or continue on with the Awalk sequel. Tell me what you think I should do. I'd really like to know.
HA! I did the impossible! I wrote a full length Taikeru! Who's the bomb? SenTay! Oh yea! I rock, I rock, I rock!
Now, thankies to the reviewers:
Mima57775: You, by far, are the best reviewer. A complete sweetheart. I love you to pieces! And I really hope you like the sequel to awalk! You rock.
digigirl-izumi: You, you always gave me such nice things and such wonderful encouragement. You are awsome.
Tyson FoxFlame: And you! You rock, dude. Not just cause you rock, but cause you ROCK! And I love all those pretty roses!
miricles-3: And you dude! You are so kick ass! Even if you didn't know what snog meant!
sharp23: Thank you for the egging on about updateing! Even though your reviews were short, they were appreciated!
Lil Gold Fishie, Hikari the Pure, Duckie-Rose, High King Isaac, TakeruHikari, leftovercrack192, Beepin756, Yukata, Zoleth, digimon lover, Anonymous Reviewer, Kate, Mar and
Majin Jin: I'm sorry, but did you just insult my muses? Oooh, you're in for it now!
TK: You son-of-a-bitch!
Draco: Dirty bastard!
Told you! Sorry, but my muses are me, so I can't kill them. And if you think it's sick, then why did you read it?
ST: Okay, anyways, beyond that, I'm back from computer camp and at computer camp I worked with a computer. Can you believe it? Anyways, I made a small crappy website, but it's about fanfiction, so I thought you guys would like it go check out my profile for the link, kay?
And don't forget to review this last chapter! 70 reviews... not as much as Awalk, but, damn!
Yea, so enough chit chat: On with the story!

[final chapter: chapter 15]
June 24
I feel as if I've said this before, but here it is:
My life is officially over. Totally wiped, gone, trashed, smashed into an oblivion. My mother has finally flipped, off her rocker, insane.
If I thought she was bad when she forced me down here, then this makes her 10 times worse. Who does she think she is? I don't want to leave! I'm happy! Really happy.
I mean, I've got this totally awsome friend. How could I live without Dai? He's what makes the worst situations funny! He puts the ass in asinine! He introduced me to Tai...
And Kari and Ken. They are the coolest. Sure, Kari and I had a (cough) date, but she's my mentor, my teacher. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know how to surf. And Ken, well, he got me a discount on my hat, which was awsomely kick ass.
Then there's my brother. Who'd a thunk that we'd actually have a bro to bro relationship? Well, we don't. Not really. But I love him like he's been there my whole life, so I'd say that qualifies for some type of a brotherly bond, no?
Last, and totally not least, my Tai. My everything, the dude that makes my heart go 100 beats a second and my world go round. I just couldn't leave him behind.
But I have to. We're driving to the bus station now. I wish we could just run off, all of us, but, come on. Yea right.
I hate having to go back. It's not fair.
But there's always next summer, right?
I hope so......
[][][The Final Word From Takeru][][]
Maybe I was being a baby, but I don't care. I was being forced to leave my friends, my family, and my love. It all sucked major ass.
At the station, Davis seemed to be trying his best to be as chipper as ever, for Matt's sake. Matt was just a complete and utter wreck. He was crying and sobbing, every few seconds wiping his eyes on his shirt sleeve.
Tai just seemed so depressed. Our hands were intertwined and we kept glancing into each other's eyes. Those chocolate colored wonders were so-so sad. I just knew we were gonna miss each other terribly.
Davis kept smiling and trying to say things to keep our spirits up. He would worriedly look at Matt every so often, wrapping his arms around Matt's waist and hugging him. It was real cute, but still really sad.
When my bus number was called, 3217, everyone got totally quiet.
Grabbing me and punching my unhurt arm, Davis said in a wavering voice, "Dude, you take care in those cities, kay? Never forget, you are forever a coastie, got that? You blood." He laughed at his own words and retreated so Matt could step up.
Still sniffling, he hugged me tightly, holding me close. "Write, okay? And I'll call dad about next summer, cause you're so coming back, you hear?" I nodded and he hugged me again before joining Dai on the sidelines.
I turned to Tai and told myself, don't cry. You can't cry.
"So."
I nodded. He took my hands and held them tightly.
"I love you. Don't you dare forget it."
I nodded again.
"And you will be coming back, or your city ass is grass. You're a boy of summer now."
I smiled and nodded.
Tai then grabbed me into a tight embrace and I was trying my best not to burst into tears. He kissed me lightly on the lips, trying to make our last moment worth remembering. What in hell? We weren't gonna see each other in ages!
I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and roughly pressed my lips on his. He responded quickly by pulling me closer and kissing back with the same force and passion.
Before we could go any further, I broke away and stepped back.
I love you Tai. Please don't forget me. Always Tai. I'll love you always."
And with that, I ran to my bus, which was almost leaving without me. Not that I wouldn't mind. I didn't look back until I was in my seat. I pushed the curtain aside and was practically pressing my face against the window, searching for a certain bushy haired brunette.
He was still there, standing in the street, looking for me. God I loved him.
Slowly the bus started to leave and that beautiful figure began to fade in the distance. I turned straight in my seat and sighed.
Would we ever see each other again? Would we forget about our love and move on?
Then I heard the radio, faintly. It was the Ataris playing a redone 80's song. Listing more carefully, I heard the words:
"thought I knew what love was/ what did I know/ those days are gone forever/ I should just let them go but/"
I smiled to myself, even though the moment was completely corny and clique. How ironic is that? Listing to it again, I heard the highlight of the song:
"my love for you will still be strong/ after the boys of summer have gone/"
I knew the actual meaning of the song, that a guy was telling his girl that he'd love her even after the summer boys. But, from that moment on, I had a new meaning to those words.
No matter what, my love would still be strong, even after my boys of summer had gone.

/But I can see you/
/Your brown skin shinin' in the sun/
/You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby/

n.n
/I never will forget those nights/
/I wonder if it was a dream/
/Remember how you made me crazy/

/Out on the road today/
/I saw a Blackflg sticker on a Cadillac/
/A little voice inside my head said/
/"Don't look back, you can never look back."/
/I thought I knew what love was/
