Mrs. Ishida presents...

'What do I do now?' I thought, just staring up at the apartment.

Matt POV

The phone rang, just as I was getting ready to leave for the party.

"Hello?" I asked, hurriedly.

"Dude, it's Tai. I know this is weird, but is Kari over there?"

"Dude, you have the wrong guy. She's going out with the younger blonde"

"Not funny. I'm serious. We got into a fight, and she ran out the door about 2 hours ago. I called everyone, but no one's seen her at all," As soon as he said that, I started to get seriously worried. Kari was missing, and god knows where she was or what happened to her. I opened the curtain, and was surprised to see her standing there in the rain in front of my apartment (my apartment was on the ground floor level), just staring at the ground.

"Do you have any idea where she might be?" he asked.

"I think I have an idea..." I trailed off, and set the phone down on the side table. I faintly heard him yelling, but I ignored him. She was surprised when I opened the door.

I've had you so many times but somehow

"Kari? What are you doing here?" I asked softly. I was so glad she was alright, and even more glad she was here. As weird as this may sound, I've been in love with her since before me and Sora broke up. That was partially the reason I broke up with her, but she never knew. No one did. If Tai knew I was smitten with his little sister, he'd literally kill me. He's so damn protective of her.

"Uhh... I was just trying to get away..." she said, and looked away.

"Get away from what? Tai just called. He's really worried about you"

She laughed a hollow, spiteful laugh.

"Yeah, right"

"He is, Kari... You shouldn't be out here in the rain... why don't you go back home so Tai won't get too worried and call the cops or have a heart attack?" I said, but I really didn't want her to leave.

I want more

"Matt, I can't" she said softly, almost inaudibly.

"Why not?" I repied, just as softly. She looked up at me with her gorgeous hazel eyes, now full of tears, before just running up and throwing her arms around my neck. Wow, was all I could think.

"I don't want to! I can't! Tai treats me like I'm a freaking 5 year old, and I know T.K's gonna be calling soon.... he broke up with me earlier, Matt! On our freaking 4th anniversary! I can't go back! Can't I just stay here?!" she cried on my shoulder, and I couldn't help but feel really sorry for her. I hated seeing her like this. I liked seeing her when she was her normal self; loving, sweet, understanding, and nice to everyone. So I did my best to comfort her, although I didn't know how without freaking her out too much. So I just supportively wrapped my arms around her waist.

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile

Kari POV

Ahhh.... heaven is right here, where I am now. Although I was still really upset about this whole freaking day, I must admit, I felt a whole lot better. I was just pouring my heart out on his shoulder, and he didn't flinch or push me away at all when I threw my arms around him. Instead he hugged me back, something I never expected.

"Can't I just stay here Matt? With you?" I asked rather weakly, expecting the worst.

"Kari..." he started, but didn't finish.

"Please? I can't go back, not yet. I don't want to see Tai, and besides I feel kinda guilty for yelling at him like that. Please, please, please can't I stay here for a while?" My voice was really quiet from all the crying and yelling I had done. But then it hit me what I was asking of him. He was probably going to that party too, which meant he'd have to stay here with me and miss out, and take care of me and stuff. God I'm such a jerk. As much as I hated to do it, I pulled away from him.

"Sorry... you... you don't have to let me stay here... I'm really sorry, just being selfish..." I mumbled.

"No, Kari, you can stay here, I don't mind" he whispered. I looked up, and was met by those two dazzling blue eyes staring right back at me.

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

"You know, It's fine.... I'll just go back home... I really don't wanna be a bother to you... besides, you're going to that party, right?" I whispered back.

"No, actually I was, but you can stay here. I really don't mind,"

"I'll be fine, I really will..." I didn't want to leave, but I felt sorta guilty for pressuring him into doing this. I started to let go of him, but he just wrapped his arms tighter around me, not letting me go, still staring at me.

Matt POV

I don't know why I did it, I probably freaked her out a lot, but I just wouldn't let her go. She insisted on going, but I didn't want her to. I knew I should have just let her go, but I couldn't. She seriously wouldn't be a bother, and besides, once you've gone to one college party, you've pretty much gone to them all; nothing but people making out, getting drunk or high, and other things going on. Not much fun if you don't have a date, even if there are the hot senior chicks flirting with you.

"Matt, what are you..." she asked softly.

"You can stay here... don't leave..." I whispered to her. She looked a little puzzled.

"I have to go apologize to Tai..." she said, half convincingly.

"Please, Kari," I pleaded softly with her.

"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to make you go through too much trouble..."

"I'm sure" I replied.

"But why are you letting me stay?" she asked slowly and suspiciously. Great. Now she thinks I'm some kind of freak rapist or something. Wonderful, that's all I need. Well, I won't be discouraged. If my brother was too stupid to let her get away, I certainly won't be. I guess I was too wrapped up in the moment or maybe I just too busy staring right back into those honey colored eyes of hers to realize or process what I was saying before I said it.

"Because, Kari, I love you" I said very quietly, and only once I saw the shock written on her face did I realize what I had just said. I stood frozen on the spot, not knowing what to do. Usually, I was great around the ladies and a real charmer, but I couldn't believe how blunt I was. Great job, Ishida.

O.K, so we learned some major stuff here. Maybe not major, but for the story. Anyways, yes the review button would like to thank all you who thought it was cute. I htink it's cute too.Hehe, please review, and I'll probably have the update for The T.A. in my life up today or tomorrow! As we commonly say here in my part of California, later dudes!
