Tai sat in his room and tried to concentrate on his homework, but his thoughts drifted to a person that was and still is special to him. Matt. Since four days he hadn't talked to Matt. Izzy and the others only thought that the two of them had an argument and that everything would be over soon, `cause it wasn't often that Matt and Tai didn't fought. What they didn't know is that Matt and Tai never fought really, what means that they only tease each other when they are around their friends. But this time even Sora an Co. Noticed that something very bad must had happen. Matt barely spoke to Tai and Tai turned his back on his friends. But deep down inside of him tai knew that he was to hard with Matt and he only wanted that everything would be like it was a week ago. "Tai?", there was a knock at his door and Kari looked inside his room. "Yeah" "Why are you still here", his sister asked. Tai didn't understand what the brown haired girl wanted to say and confused he looked at her. Kari threw her hands in the hair: "Tai! Go to Matt and apologize! I can't stand it any longer!" "What? You can't stand what any longer?", Tai responded, but he thought that he knew what Kari meant. During the last few days he nearly didn't left the house expect for school and soccer parctise. "All this!", the girl pointed one finger at her big brother. "You hide in your room! And today I get to know that you stopped talking to Matt. Mimi told me. That's not you Tai! I thought that Matt is your best friend." 'If you only knew..', Tai thought. Tai knew that Kari was right. Yesterday he wanted to call Matt to apologize, but every time when he wanted to dial the number all courage left him and he put the receiver down. Kari stood in Tais room and eyed her brother. After three minutes there wasn't any sign of reaction and Kari lost it. "Good!", she nearly screamed. "Then stay here!." She turned around to leave the room. Right in front of the door she stopped and looked at Tai :"You know, Tai, you really are a great friend..." Tai thought long and hard about Karis last words, his homework lay forgotten on the desk. A long time Karis words echoed in his head: You really are a great friend... If Tai wanted to be a real friend or more he had to make the first move. Which meant to go to Matt and beg for forgiveness. This was fair, `casue Tai knew that he started the whole fight. When tai sat on the couch he thought about something he could do to make it better. Kari was in the same room and looked at her brother. The girl knew what he thought, he was her brother after all and she spend her whole live in his company. Then you start to know what the other is thinking. "You only have to apologize, Tai", she suddenly said. Tai looked up and smiled: "Yeah.... yeah, you're right..." Slowly he got up and walked over to the phone. "I think you should go and see him. Matt might think that you doesn't mean it when you call him", Kari shouted after him. Tai looked at the receiver he held in his hand. He put it down again. Then he took it again and dialed the number. He only wanted to make sure that Matt was home. Tai let it ring and waited, as soon as someone answered the call he put the receiver down again. Kari had seen everything and was looking at Tai, confused. She didn't had to ask, Tai knew what she wanted to know. "I only wanted to see if he is home." "I see.", Kari answered. After five minutes Tai was ready to go. Kari stood behind him and wished him luck and that he would sort everything out with Matt. The sun already started to go down, Tai would have to hurry if he wanted to reach Matt before dark. Quickly Tai walked over to his friends apartment.
When he reached the parking-loge he couldn't see Mr. Ishidas car, the man had to be at work. Again. But this time it was a good thing, cause Tai wanted to talk to Matt alone. He climbed the stairs to reach his destiny. During his way up Tai could think about the things he wanted to tell Matt.
In front of the door he stopped, took one last breath and knocked.
Matt sat in his living-room when he heard the knock. He winced and didn't dare to move. Should he open the door? There was a big chance that Sean, Dean and Kev might want to visit him again. After all they let him four days to recover. But on the other hand it could be someone else. One of his friends maybe. Matt sat still and held his breath. He wouldn't open the door, who know who's really behind it. Because of this Matt tried to stay as quiet as possible, he didn't want to make any noise. He didn't want to get caught. Again someone knocked at the door.
Tai raised his hand and knocked again. He didn't thought that Matt would have gone out so late. Why should he leave the apartment? Where could he be? The band? Tai knew that this was one of the few evenings Matt would definitely be home. Tai tried again. "Matt?", he asked through the door.
Inside the apartment Matt looked at the door. Tais voice pulled him out of his fear, he knew that Tai would never ever hurt him on purpose. Would he? No. Matt jumped up and already held the door-handle in his hand. He stopped, he remembered what tai had said to him. Why should he suddenly be so nice again? Why should he care again? And besides, tai would ask too many questions. This would only cause more fighting. Matt let the door-handle go and stared at the door. He hoped that Tai would go away soon. Matt couldn't stand it, the person he loved the most stood right in front of that door and waited for him to open it.
"Matt?!", Tai shouted. "I know that you're home. Open the door, please!" Maybe it wasn't the best thing to shout at Matt again, but he had to get inside this apartment to talk to the other boy. Nearly half an hour Tai tried it, but finally he gave up and walked back home.
Still Matt stood in front of the door and started at it. Tai went home and he was alone. All alone again...
The next day Tai waited for Matt after school. Matt had to go past him if he wanted to go home. During the whole day Matt avoided his friends. Tai thought again about the scene that took place yesterday in front of Matt apartment. He had known that Matt was home, he had seen the light shining under the door. Tai tried really hard to think about the reason Matt refused to open the door. Sure he said some bad things, but they always made up again. Always. Tai heard footsteps behind him and looked up. Matt walked without one word past him. It seemed as if Matt didn't even noticed him. For a moment Tai was shocked, but then he started to walk after him. Tai put a smile on his face and looked at Matt. "Hey, Yama", he said and tried to sound cheerful. "Hello, Tai", Matt responded. 'Okay, he's talking to me', Tai thought. "I wanted to talk to you", said Tai. "hat about?", Matt asked cold, he wasn't even looking at Tai. "You know", Tai said. "No, I don't", responded Matt. "Yama, please. I'm sorry...", Tai said and looked around if someone was near them who could hear them. Then he whispered: "I'm sorry. You and I should sort some things out. Please, Yama." "I don't know what you're talking about, Taichi." 'Please Yama, don't do this to me', Tai thought. This wasn't like Matt. Matt always wanted them to be friends again. Normally he was the one who made the first move in this direction. "Okay, and why are you avoiding us then when there is no problem?", Tai asked. 'I don't want to', Matt thought. "Because", Matt answered. "I don't understand you Matt. What's wrong?", Tai asked further. "..." Tai looked down. Matt looked at Tai. It hurt so much to see his friends so sad only because of him. "I only wanted to tell you that I still love you and that I hate myself for everything I said earlier", Tai said. Then he walked away. Matt couldn't see the tears in his eyes.
'I love you too' Matt wanted to shout after Tai, but he didn't say it. He continued walking, with a lonely tear running down his cheek.
