I apologise for not updating for like… ages… I've been really busy, and I've also been sick. I'm sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't go to school for the rest of the week. I received lots of get well cards and emails from all my friends at school, and Miya came over after school everyday. She only lived on the next floor. I spent most of my day lying around, thinking. Thinking of T.K lying there, helpless, and of my dream. I kept having the dream every night. I tried to work out what it meant, but nothing came to me. Gatomon was also a great help with talking. Even though she missed going to the Digital World, she didn't leave me. On the Friday of that week, Tai had stayed home, on mum's orders, because she thought that this might help. Tai didn't mind. Matt hadn't shown up to school that week, so he didn't have his best friend to mess around with. Anyway, the doorbell rang that afternoon, and it turned out to be Yolei, Cody, and Davis. I noticed that Davis had a bandage on his cheek from where I punched him. I blushed slightly.

"Hey Kari!" said Yolei and Poromon.

"Hi," I replied, "Do you want to come in?" I moved aside and invited them in. They all walked past me, Davis coming in the rear. I went to pour out drinks and to see if there was anything edible left in the house. I found some cookies as Gatomon entered the room.

"Hi everybody," said Gatomon, coming to help me with the beverages. Tai was busy doing homework.

"Hi Gatomon," said everyone in unison. I saw out of the corner of my eye Demiveemon blush slightly. He's so cute! I brought over the snacks, and watched all the Digimon -minus Gatomon- dive into the biscuits.

"So what's been happening at school?" I asked, to start a conversation.

"Oh, well everyone's wondering what's up with you and T.K," said Yolei, "You haven't shown up to school since Monday, and no-one knows about T.K."

"So how is T.K?" asked Cody. I hung my head.

"He's really sick," I said quietly, "the doctor's don't know if he'll make it." Tears were threatening to stream down my cheeks. Gatomon came and put her arm on me. Everyone was silent. Even the Digimon had stopped stuffing themselves.

I looked up. "Do any of you know how Patamon is?" I asked.

"I haven't seen him," said Yolei, "But I think he's staying with Matt."

I breathed a sigh of relief. At least he's safe. We spent the next hour discussing the Digital World. Apparently, they haven't been since Tuesday, but they've been monitoring, and it's in no immediate danger. I watched Davis for most of the time. He had a mixed expression on his face. It looked like a mixture of anxiety and disappointment. I felt guilty.

Soon, they all had to leave. I pulled Davis away from the others as they walked out the door. I had to apologise. My conscience was attacking me from all sides.

"Davis," I started, "I want to apologise about Monday. I shouldn't have had a go at you for that. It was wrong of me. Please forgive me." I bowed my head. Tears crept down my cheeks.

"That's ok Kari," Davis said comfortingly, putting a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and smiled. Davis walked out the door, and Demiveemon ran out after him. I couldn't help but smile. After all that, I found I had a minor headache, so I took a couple of painkillers, and went for a lie down. Tai was in the office next to my room and I could hear him dialling on the phone.

"Hey, this is Matt."

"Hey Matt, it's Tai."

"Hey Tai. What's up?"

"Well, you haven't shown up to school, so I was wondering how you were going."

"Yeh, I'm…fine."

"Liar. But I guess it's a hard time for you. How's T.K?"

"Not good. He's getting worse. Docs don't know how long he has. He's been losing it since Monday night, the night that Kari ran out on him."

I gasp.

"What would Kari have to do with it?"

"Well, when he was first admitted, he was in a stable condition. When Kari came, he improved in the slightest. But when she ran out and injured herself, he got worse. I think he misses her or something…"

"That could be the case. I've heard about things like that. She's getting better over here. She was talking to the new lot before. Oh, by the way, how's Patamon?"

"Not good. He misses T.K terribly. He also misses everyone else."

"Hey, why don't you bring him over here? He'll have Kari and Gatomon to be with."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeh! Can you bring him over after tea?"

"Yeh. We're going back to the hospital afterwards anyway, so I can drop him over on the way."

"Cool. See ya."

"See ya."

I lay there, thinking whether this Patamon thing would be good. But, soon enough, Tai poked his head in the door.

"Hey Kari! Wanna come and play PlayStation?" he asks cheerily.

"Yeh, Ok," I answer, and follow him out the door.
