I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. All I own is my own original character Lain Auska X and her flashbacks, which happen to be real experiences that happened to someone that I know. So no stealing them.

Digimon

IX: Hate

Saga: The Child of Darkness

"Happy Birthday Lain!" the group of girls and boys cried out as Lain blew out the candles on her cake.

She was turning twelve and this was her first real birthday she was having in Tokyo with her 'friends'.

"Thanks you guys!" Lain cried out happily as she smiled at them all happily. "Hey! Let's sleep outside in the tent tonight! And we can stay up late telling ghost stories too!"

"Yeah! That sounds like fun!" a boy with pitch white hair and bright red eyes cried out happily. "But then again it is your Birthday! Don't let me ruin it for you!"

"Aw, Oniichan [1]! You're the greatest!" Lain cried out giving her older brother a hug. "You can hang out with us if you want too!" She smiled happily at them and then turned her attention over to her friends. "Lets go you guys!"

"Okay! Yeah!" the group called out following behind Lain as she exited the house with them.

3 Hours Latter…

"None of us like you Lain… We only came here to hang out with your brother. Why can't you realize that!?" a boy said glaring at her.

"But… But…" Lain begun and then collapsed into tears.

She had no friends.

"NO!" Lain screamed out as tears brimmed her eyes. She fell out of her bed and then rested her forehead on the floor. Her left hand formed into a fist and then banged the floor slightly. Tears came faster and faster down her face. Why were these bad memories coming back to her now of all times!?

"Lain?" Matt asked a little groggily. "Are you alright? Did you fall out of your bed or something?"

"Y-yeah *sniff* I'm fine," Lain replied as she slowly got back into a sitting position on the floor. "I… I just fell that's all *sniff*."

"Lain… You're… You're not crying are you? Are you alright!?" Matt cried out a little worried as he jumped out of his own bed and then over to his side as fast as he could. He put one of his arms around his shoulder and then tried to look into her face but only got pushed away. "Lain? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing… Don't worry about it. Just a bad dream that's all…" Lain remarked as she climbed back into her own bed and then pulled the sheets up around her. "Just go back to bed. It's not important…"

"Lain… Don't play the secret game anymore. I want you to talk to me when you have a problem," Matt said getting up from the floor also. He sat at the edge of her bed and then looked over at her worried. "That wasn't just a bad dream…"

"Matt! I said it was nothing! Just don't worry! Everything's fine! Just go back to bed!" Lain said frowning at him. "Don't worry!"

"But I have to!" Matt screamed out a little angry. "Lain! Stop it! Don't be secretive! I'm here to listen to you! Just stop with all these secrets!"

"You want to know!?" Lain screamed at him as more tears came into her eyes. "When I was seven years old all the people who I assumed were my friends just dropped me for dead to hang out with my brother! THEY WERE JUST USING ME!"

"Lain… Brother? When did you have a brother?" Matt asked her a little confused as more fear spread across his face. How come she never mentioned she had a brother?

"It's nothing… He's not alive anymore… He died a couple of years back with my parents…" Lain muttered under her breath and then looked at the window across from her. "Matt… I don't want to talk about it right now. Please… I just want to go back to sleep…"

"I'm not dropping it forever just to let you know," Matt said getting up from her bed. "We're just going to talk about it another day… Alright?"

"What ever…" Lain muttered to him as she rolled over on her side and then closed her eyes. "But don't count on it…"

Matt just starred blankly at the figured that was in the cot a few feet away from his bed. Why was she always being so secretive? What was so horrible about her past that she couldn't tell him? And most of all… Why hadn't she told any of them that her parents and brother were dead, and more likely that she even had a brother at all…

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Black Koromon screamed out as he jumped around Lain's head. "Do you know what today is!??? LAIN!?"

"What!? Where's the fire!?" Lain screamed out jumping. "Oh…"

"Well do you!?" Black Koromon screamed out frowning.

"October 18th… So what?" Lain asked yawning as she got up from her bed. She noticed Matt looking at the two of them with a confused look on his face. He looked extremely tired.

"It's your Birthday Lain!" Black Koromon screamed out happily.

Lain's eyes got huge and then she slapped her hand over Black Koromon's mouth and looked around nervously. "Don't say that here!" She hissed at him angrily. "There are other people in the room!"

"It's your Birthday?" Matt asked yawning. "Alright Lain! Turning the big 1-8 are we!?" He grinned at her and then stood up and slapped her on the back sharply. "Can't wait to tell the others!"

"NO!!!" Lain screamed out jumping at him. She then attached herself to his back and begun to pull his hair while he stumbled out the door and into the living room. "DON'T YOU DARE BLONDIE!"

"LAIN!?" Matt screamed out, arms flailing as he tried not to lose his balance. "DON'T YOU PULL MY HA-AHHH!" He tripped over the coffee table and then landed on the couch. His brother TK had unfortunately been sitting on it and was caught under the two of them. Lain was plastered all over him while Matt had landed with his arm around Lain's chest and then his other arm on the side of the couch holding himself up from causing more weight upon the two of them.

"MATT! LAIN!?" TK cried out confused. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET OFF!"

"HENTAI [2]!!!" Lain screamed out as she managed to flip herself out from out from under them. "YAMATO!!!"

"Hey!" Matt cried out looking at her shocked. "Don't use my Japanese name! I didn't do anything bad!"

"Yeah you did!" Lain yelled back at him as she slapped him arcos the face. Leaving TK starring at them confused.

"I think you did…" TK muttered at his brother as he looked at the two of them. "But what are you two fighting about? I could here both of you in the other room… Loud you know. Wonder if dad heard…?"

"I bet the whole apartment complex head the two of you screaming," Mr. Ishida said steeping into the room as he straightened his tie. "What were you two fighting about that deserved so much noise to be made?" He then looked around the room a little suspiciously. "You didn't break anything… did you? No accidents because of a flailing katana?" He looked over at Lain who just laughed at him nervously.

"No sir. I told you I wouldn't use it as a weapon, and besides if either of these two knuckle heads touched it they'd be in a world of pain…" Lain replied laughing.

"Then why was there so much noise!?" Mr. Ishida barked at the two of them. He now turned his attention over to his oldest son and then flinched. "Dear god boy! Put some clothes on! How can you stand to walk around in just your underwear with a lady in the room!?"

"Uh…" Matt said going a little red in the face as he realized what he was wearing. He then bit his lip nervously. "You know… It's Lain's birthday today! Turning eighteen!"

Lain shot Matt a nasty look and got into a position ready to pounce at him but was stopped by Mr. Ishida's words.

"Oh! Is it now! Good for you Lain!" Mr. Ishida said smiling happily at her. "If you're lucky I might pick you up something after work." He smiled at her happily and then punched her playfully in the shoulder and turned to leave. "See you all latter tonight around eight or so. TK? You staying until Sunday night right?"

"Yeah dad," TK said smiling at his dad. "Bye…"

"See ya," Lain muttered glaring at Lain.

"Bye dad," Matt said smiling at his father happily. Lain was going to kill him by the end of the day. Everyone was going to know it was her birthday today. Every single one of the Digidestinds…

"Oh Lain!" Sora cried out happily as she flung her arms around her friend. "Happy Birthday! So you're finally eighteen like the rest of us! Good for you! What do you want!?"

"Erm… Sora?" Lain asked frowning a little. "Don't worry about it. Let's just pretend it's not my Birthday alright?"

"No way am I going to miss a chance with a party!" Davis yelled out. "Lain! Come on! We are all dying to know what you want! If you're looking for a boyfriend I can hook you up with that easily…" He grinned at her happily but was shoved out of Lain's view by Tai who seemed to be jumping around extremely happy.

"Oh! I know what we can do! Let's take her to that coffee shop downtown that they just opened up!" Tai screamed out. "How about it Lain!?"

"Erm… Okay? But I don't have any money," Lain said looking around nervously. "But let me guess, you're not gunna let that excuse ruin all your happy plans for my birthday… right?"

"Right!" Tai shouted out.

"No worries Lain," Matt said sighing. "I'm buying for the both of us. Think of it as a birthday present from me."

"Cheep skate," Yolei hissed at him. "She doesn't want stupid coffee! She wants pretty clothes and fancy shoes! Maybe even some jewelry if you can get your hands on some!"

"Yolei? I think that's what you want," Lain said grinning happily at her. "Thanks you guys… But I don't really want anything for my birthday. I'm fine with everything that I have. Let's just hang out somewhere. I don't want anything… really."

"But we're still getting coffee!" Tai wined. "I don't care what you want at the moment! COFFEE!!!"

"Tai?" Kari asked looking at her brother a little scared. "Did dad let you have coffee this morning?"

"No," Tai said grabbing Lain's hand and then jerking her forward, towards the coffee shop.

"Yes he did!" Kari cried out. "Tai! You're not supposed to have coffee! It makes you act funny! You won't stop talking and you keep on bouncing all over the place! TAI!? Are you even listening to me!?"

"Here goes my day…" Lain muttered with a big smile on her face. She wasn't unhappy or anything at the fact of her friends trying to make her birthday a remember able one, it's just more of the fact that she'd rather it all be left alone. Just forget period that it was her birthday in the first place.

"Here you go Lain!" Tai screamed out shoving Lain's caramel frapochino in her hands. "Drink up! Today's going to be an exiting day! It is only once a year that you're birthday does come around you know!"

Lain looked down to what Tai shoved in her hands and then flinched. Why had he insisted she get something cold instead of hot? It was freezing outside today and this wasn't' exactly something she could really use with the cold weather and all.

She sipped a little bit of it through the straw and then jumped with surprise. To much caffeine.

"This is going to give me a headache…" Lain muttered sitting down across from Matt. She then rested her head on her hands and starred at Matt. "Thanks. You didn't have to you know. You could be like Yolei over here and protest over drinking coffee. It stunts your growth you know."

"Feh, like I could care. I'm tall enough. But I think someone else needs to grow," Matt said smiling mischievously at her. He then looked over in TK's direction and sighed. His brother was talking to Kari over both of their own coffees with Davis interrupting every chance he got.

"Poor Kari… She's got two boys who are madly in love with her trying to get more attention than the other from her every second," Lain said sighing. "Got to be a nightmare. Glade my life's not like that."

"Who says it's not?" Matt asked laughing at her. "What? You don't think a few boys at our school are 'madly in love' with you too do you?"

"Ha! That'd be the day! I think it would be a miracle if even one boy managed to come out with it and say he liked me!" Lain cried out almost going into a fit of laughter.

"Do we have a low case of self-esteem on our hands here?" Matt asked looking at her. "Because if we do you're going to have a price to pay you know. No reason for thinking about the unimaginable. Lain, I'm sure you've got your own fan club if you looked around more closely."

"You're just trying to flatter me," Lain said starring at him blankly. "Thanks. But no thanks. I could do without having a boyfriend. Friends are a lot easier to deal with. And besides, who on earth would want to go out with me!?"

"Erm…" Matt said looking around the coffee shop a little frightened. She had kind of said it a little loudly. Every boy in the shop had turned around to face her.

"I WOULD!" Davis screamed out jumping at his first chance. If he couldn't have Kari then at least he could have her. Sure she wasn't as great as Kari, but at least she was some hot chick that he knew.

"Thanks but no thanks… Davis," Lain replied twitching a little at the sudden out burst from the boy. She then looked around the shop a little awkward. "Maybe we should go?"

"Fine with me," Matt said getting up hastily, while stopping himself from running full speed at the door. Boy had she embarrassed them all good.

"Did I embarrass you guys back there or something?" Lain asked putting her arms behind her back and then laughing to herself at the situation that was coming back into her mind. "Well?"

"Well…" TK began but stopped himself to think out what he was going to say without offending Kari.

"I'll take it from here," Matt said sighing. "We'll first of all Lain… You don't really need to go around shouting things like that? Unless you want attention or something. Second, you've got nothing to really back up what you said. Who wouldn't want to go out with you? You're not bad looking and you have a nice personality."

"Erm…" Lain said as her face begun to turn red. "S-s-so what are you saying? That'd you want to go out with me or something?"

"Matt!" Tai screamed out grinning as he elbowed his friend in the side playfully. "How could you!?? I would have never guessed!"

"Shut-up Tai!" Matt screamed out angrily. "So what if I am!? What are you going to do about it Lain?"

"Nothing. Just except maybe tell you too…" Lain begun and then stopped herself.

"Too what?"

"Get a life! Why would you want to go out with ME of all people in the first place!?" She then begun to laugh as the rest of the gang shook their heads at her.

"Yeah! Why would she want to go out with you Ishida!?" Davis yelled out. "When she's got me!?"

"Get a life Daisuke Motomiya," Lain said shaking her head. "You two are just too… weird." She shook her head and then laughed once again. "Can I go home now? I'm not really into this B-day extravaganza for Lain thing…"

 "I guess…" Yolei said with a slight frown on her face. "But you have to come over to my house along with Matt latter on tonight. The gang and me are going to have a big surprise for you. Alright?"

"Fine…" Lain muttered yawning a bit. "I think I need a nap…"

"Tonight Lain?" Yolei hissed at her. "You are going to come no matter how tired you are. Matt? You're going to make sure of that right?"

"Right Yolei," Matt said laughing a little out of fear. "I'll make sure of it… See you guys latter then."

"Later," everyone chanted at the two of them as they begun to part from the rest of the Digidestinds.

"You're mean you know that," Matt said frowning at Lain. "You really hurt my feelings back there."

He sat down next to the black haired girl who seemed to have her attention glued to the television.

"Hey. I'm not the idiot who thought it was a good idea to try and embarrass me with your silly thoughts," Lain replied. "Why would you want to go out with me in the first place!?"

"Stop it Lain. Who wouldn't want to go out with a nice girl like you?" Matt asked edging closer to her. Both of their bodies were touching now, though not in some sort of romantic out look.

Her hair… It smells so nice. Kind of like oranges… Wait a minute! Isn't that my shampoo!? Where'd she get it from!? I thought I hid it good after the last time she used it! Sneaky kid!

"Name some reasons," Lain said blankly, not taking her eyes off of the movie she was watching.

Why is Matt trying so hard? Why won't he just accept that I'm not good enough for anyone? After all… Who would want to go out with a freak like me? All I ever do is hurt people…

"You really want some?" Matt asked laughing. "Well for starters your nice…"

Not really… I'm only nice because I have to be. Otherwise everyone will hate me.

"You're smart."

No I'm not. I've got an IQ lower than a potato. And its IQ is three…

"You're got this really nice smile…" He edged his face a little closer to hers.

Just give up already. There isn't anything nice about me that other's would like. Just stop…

"You're always so damn polite to everyone. I think my dad likes you a lot more than he ever likes his own two sons…" He pulled his head away a little embarrassed and then laughed.

What is he trying to pull? I'm only polite because I don't want to get kicked out of this house. It's the last place I have to go. Every relatives I have is dead… They're all dead… Because of me…

"Lain… You're just so… You've got this nice vibe. Like I don't have to care about who I am when I'm around you. You're just so… Lain…" He smiled at her and before he even knew what he was doing his head was edging towards hers until their lips met.

What is he doing!? I… This the first time… Anyone's ever really kissed me before… It feels… Nice.

He pulled his head away a little embarrassed and then scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry… I- I didn't mean to do that…" Matt said, as he face got more and more red by the minute.

"For what?" Lain asked getting red too. "It's not like you really meant to or anything like that…" She laughed.

"Erm… Yeah," Matt said frowning.

"I… Well… Maybe we should start over to Yolei's house!?" Lain suggested as she jumped up from where she was sitting a little hurriedly. "How about it?"

"Sure…" Matt said smiling at her a little and then blushed.

Boy was she etchy. But then again… Who could blame her? After all I did just kiss her and all… Funny kid. I don't understand why she has to be so secretive. It's not like she doesn't have her own rights to keep things to herself. But she really should share her feelings when she's down. And most of all I don't understand why she keeps a distance away from everyone, like why would she think that she's not good enough for anyone? She's… The, greatest…

Matt starred down at Lain as she slipped on his shoes again and then charged out the door. He sighed as he put his own on and then followed her.

"I'm starting to think I should just buy you a pair of shoes for you birthday," Matt remarked. "So you won't have to keep stealing mine. They are my favorite you know…"

"And they're comfy too!" Lain replied with a smile on her face. "What are you going to do about it blonde?"

"Do you really want to know?" Matt asked her raising an eyebrow with a guilty grin on his face.

"Maybe…" Lain said getting a little nervous. "All depends on what's in for me?"

"Nothing much!" Matt screamed out as he charged at her. He hooked her around the waist and then threw her up on his left shoulder and continued on down the street, leaving Lain screaming at him to put her down.

"Quite Lain! You're queen for the day! Be happy!" Matt called out laughing at her as he shifted her weight a little. "A very heavy queen."

"I'm not fat!" Lain screamed out as she pulled his hair. "And I don't want to be a queen! If anything I'd be an honorable samurai warrior!"

"I think you need a hobby," Matt muttered under his breath. "Finally! We're here!"

"Put me down then," Lain hissed at him getting a little angrier with him.

"No way! Don't!" Kari cried out happily as she whipped out her camera from around her neck. "This is priceless!" She took the picture of Matt with Lain over his left shoulder, leaving the two of them dazed at the bright flash.

"I'm going to so kill you when that film comes out!" Lain screamed out as she wretched around in Matt's grasp. "Put me down!"

"Yieks," Tai said looking at the one struggling teen and the blond headed one laughing his head off. "Poor Lain, let me give you a hand."

"Tai! No!" Matt shouted out as Tai grabbed Lain by her shoulders and safely planted her feet on the ground.

"Thank you Tai!" Lain said as she then shot a nasty look at Matt. "Best B-day present anyone's ever given me."

"Fine then," Matt retorted at her. "I guess I'm not gunna give you it now. And you were really going to love it too…"

"Stupid blond boy," Lain said frowning at him.

"What?" Matt asked as he put on a hurt expression on his face.

"Just joking!" Lain shouted out back at him. "I didn't mean it! You're a smart blonde!" She then went up to his side and punched him in the shoulder playfully. "So… About this queen Lain thing? What's happening with it?"

"Nothing much," Matt answered as a grin spread across his face. "We'll maybe a free ride home if you want?"

"NO thanks," Lain said laughing. "I could do without that. How about we just don't ever think about lifting me from the ground again?"

"Fine… For now," Matt answered frowning.

"Can we go inside please?" Kari asked shivering a little. "It is a little cold outside."

"Just as soon as you give me that camera so I can snap it in half," Lain said turning her attention over to Kari. "Not funny taking a picture like that!"

"I thought it was cute," Kari said steeping back a little as she noticed the angry look on Lain's face.

"Like hell it was!" Lain shouted at charging at the defenseless teen.

Lain fell down over the couch as she sighed. "That… Was too much for me…"

"Was it really?" Matt asked falling down on the couch beside her. "At least they didn't try and get you to play twister with Tai, Davis, and Sora… That was a nightmare."

"What are you talking about? It was so cute!" Lain said grinning.

"Really?" Matt asked with sarcasm.

"No not at all. I thought Tai was going to kill you when you fell on Sora," Lain said. "You almost smashed the poor girl to top it off…"

"Did not," Matt retorted.

"Did too…"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

"YEAH YOU DID!"

"HEY KIDS!?" Mr. Ishida yelled out scaring the two of them out of their minds. Matt ended up jumping up from the couch along with Lain and landed on the other side. He was on the coffee table while Lain was on the floor screaming for what ever was 'attacking' her to not kill her and take the stupid blonde one instead.

"Boy you two get scared easily," Mr. Ishida said laughing.

"Lain!? Why the hell did you say that!?" Matt shouted out forgetting about his dad. "Would you really be willing to give me up if something was attacking you!? COME ON!"

"So what… You'd have deserved it," Lain said back to him.

Mr. Ishida just looked at the two teenagers with a confused look on his face. Why were they arguing so much today? They'd always gotten along time fine before.

"Stop arguing with me! You're not being a good friend Lain! It's amazing how we even became friends in the first place! You never were arguing with me like this before! Just stop it!" Matt shouted out angrily. This was the last straw. She'd been poking fun at him all day, and by now he was just plain sick and tired of it.

"Bad… friend?" Lain managed to croak out as tears formed in her eyes. "I'm not your… friend?"

"Lain?" Matt asked looking at her confused. He didn't mean to have said that to her. He just spat out what was on his mind; he always was told that was the right thing to do. If he couldn't put it into words, than just say what he was thinking. He'd never wanted to hurt her feelings like this. Why was she about to cry? She'd never really had much thought before as to him and the rest of the crew being her real friends…

"I…" Lain begun and then fell to the floor.

She had fainted.

"You guys don't really mean that do you!?" Lain called out astound at what her 'friends' had just told her. "You don't really mean that you aren't my friends!? How could you!? We've always hung out before at school!"

"So what," the boy replied. "We've all decided that were sick of you. You're just so annoying! Did you know that!? Always complaining about things! GOD! We're just so tired of it!"

"You're… You're lying… It can't be true," Lain stuttered out as tears started to come down her face. "IT CAN'T BE TRUE!"

"But it is…" another girl piped in. "Just get it through your stupid mind already Lain. We… Don't like you anymore. Come on you guys… Let's go. I'm tired of being in this dump with her. Oh and Yuki," she turned to Lain's brother. "We've got nothing against you. You're a cool kid. If you ever want to hang out with us your always welcome."

"GET OUT!" Yuki screamed at the five kids in front of him. I don't ever want to see any of you again! And leave my sister alone! LEAVE NOW!"

"Fine, what ever," the girl said shrugging her shoulders as she turned her back to the two of them. She then walked out of their backyard along with the others.

Lain collapsed to her knees and starred at her brother in aw.

"You made them hate me didn't you?" Lain chocked out angrily. "You turned them against me! I know you did!"

"Lain? What are you talking about? Why would I do that? Come on; be reasonable, I hate them as much as you do. No one deserves to treat you like that," Yuki replied to her.

"Just leave me alone! I HATE YOU!" Lain screamed out as she ran inside of her house and then into her room, slamming the door behind her. She then locked it and threw herself on her bed angrily.

Why'd he do this too me? I thought he was my brother. I thought he cared for me… I can't believe him… I have nothing left to live for. Everything's a mess again, everything turning into shit. I hate living in this horrible world. I hate this, and I hate everyone. I hate everything…

Lain rose from her bed gradually and then walked into the bathroom that was connected to her room. She sighed as she starred at her tear stricken face in the mirror. She then looked at the side of the sink and noticed her brothers shaving razor sitting there.

She picked it up and then removed the razor from its handle and held it above her wrist.

"Good-bye horrible world."

"LAIN!?" Yuki screamed out pounding on her door.

"LAIN!?"

"LAIN!?"

"LAIN!?"

"Wha?" Lain asked opening her eyes. She could see Matt above her along with Mr. Ishida.

"You alright kid?" Mr. Ishida asked. "Need to go to the hospital or something?"

"No, no, I'm fine," Lain answered sitting up as she rubbed her head in confusion. "Did I pass out or something?"

"Yeah, you did," Matt answered sounding serious. "What's wrong? You don't look so well, a little to pale for comfort…

"I'm fine… Just tired that's all… I think I'm going to go to bed now," Lain said getting up from her sitting position and then stumbled a little, running into the couch. "Ow…"

"Help her to her room," Mr. Ishida said. "I'm calling a doctor…"

"NO!" Lain screamed out at him angrily. "I DON'T NEED A DOCTOR! I'M JUST TIRED!"

"Lain?" Mr. Ishida asked frowning. "If you don't want a doctor then go to bed right now. I don't want to hear anything else from you for the rest of the night. And you're staying home tomorrow too."

"I…" Lain begun but was then cut off by Matt.

"Come on Lain, bed time," Matt said pushing her into his room and then shutting the door behind him.

"I'm not tired…" Lain replied. "I just need to think for a while… Can you just go for now?"

"What's on your mind?" Matt asked sitting on her bed as he starred around the room they were sharing. "And don't tell me nothing. I know there is. Something's been bothering you all day Lain, and you won't tell me what it is. I want to know. I care Lain… You snapped right after I said that horrible thing to you. How I questioned our friendship and everything. I didn't mean it; I wish I could take it all back… I'm so sorry Lain!"

"Don't worry about it," Lain said giving him a fait smile. "You didn't mean to say it and I know you didn't. I was just stupid… Just bad memories coming back up again…"

"Bad memories like what?" Matt asked looking up at her. "You can tell me you know. I promise I won't tell anyone else with out your consult."

"I've heard that one before," Lain said sitting next to him. "Just don't worry about it right now alright. I'll talk to you about it another time. Right now I just need some time to myself. I need to think things over before I decided to talk. I'm just not ready to share at the moment."

"But when are you going to be ready?" Matt asked. "Knowing you you'll never be ready, you don't like to talk about your feelings Lain. I know that, you'd rather focus on someone else. I'm just concerned about you…"

"I know, and I thank you for it," Lain replied smiling at him. "Just wait a little while longer. I promise I'll talk to you about it then… Just right now… I've got too much on my mind to talk. And I am sorry for it… But just a little longer. Then I promise I'll talk."

"I'm holding you to that you know," Matt answered getting up from her bed. "Now get changed and get some sleep before my dad comes in here and starts to question you. He's not as easy going as me you know…"

"How could I have guessed?" Lain asked laughing.

"Night then," Matt asked.

"Night," Lain answered as she watched Matt exit through the room she was in and then close it behind her. She was left in darkness, to herself. She curled up in a little ball on her bed and then begun to cry. Too much was coming back over her, to many bad memories were resurfacing. Everything was going to start going downhill now. Every bad thing was going to begin again…

WOW!! End of this for now! Next chapter will be posted in a week or two!! See you all then…
