"You can call on me brother when you need a hand. We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem, that you'll understand. We all need somebody to lean on. Please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow, for no one can fill, those of your needs that you won't let show"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I snapped out of my daydreaming of past memories and realized what Yamato had just told me.

"Wait, he's coming over to visit!" I shouted as I stood up facing Yamato.

"Yes…? Something wrong with that?"

"No, wait…like…here! At this apartment?"

"Of course. I mean, where else is he going to stay?"

I slumped back down on the bed, letting the fact that someone else was going to move in for a while sink in. My parents could just barely support two people…but three! This was going to be horrible!

"How long is Takeru staying, Yamato?"

"Hmm…maybe a couple weeks…three tops. He's coming in a couple days."

"Cool." I said a little downheartedly.

Yamato looked at me inquiringly. I didn't blame him either. Nobody could've understood what I was going through except me. It was then that I got the feeling that this visit wouldn't be so good.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Today was the day Takeru Takashi was supposed to come. But his mom isn't coming with him, which disappointed Yamato. He was going to come at around 4. Plus, we needed to pick him up from the train station. I didn't want to do all the driving and since Yamato was excited to see his brother, he volunteered to go. I didn't have anything against that so I gave him a kiss and off Yamato went.

I walked around the apartment several times. For some reason, I was nervous. I just couldn't stop and sit down to calm myself down. There was just something that didn't feel right. Finally, I just lay down on the couch, putting one hand over my eyes.

"Why can't I stay still?" I said to myself.

Then, the door opened and in came Yamato and Takeru. They were chatting back and forth, back and forth. I couldn't keep up with the conversation.

'They must be catching up with old times or something like that…' I thought to myself.

"Hey! Cam! We're home!" Yamato yelled with a big grin on his face.

"Hi, Yamato." I said as I kissed him.

Yamato kissed me back. Takeru looked a bit confused. Yamato noticed this and explained to him quickly.

"Oh, yeah. T.K., this is my girlfriend, Camilla Ashiru."

"Nice to meet you, Camilla." Takeru said.

"And vice versa." I said.

Takeru did look a lot like his brother. He had the same blonde hair, they had the same fashion sense, and their facial features were similar. There was one difference, though. Takeru had metallic green eyes and Yamato had cobalt blue eyes. They were pretty nonetheless.

"Yamato," I said. "would you mind giving Takeru a tour and then showing him to his room?"

"No problem, Cam." Yamato smiled.

Yamato and Takeru went off toward wherever and I went into my room and plopped down on my bed.

'Gotta keep my cool…It's only for a couple of weeks…you can do this…why are you so nervous, Ashiru!' I thought.

This was so weird…I didn't even know who T.K. was and here I am, sweating with anxiety! What kind of messed up person am I!

I just forgot the whole thing when I heard my name being called from the kitchen. I got up and walked toward the kitchen to find Takeru and Yamato talking.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Hey, we were talking." Yamato said. "And we thought it would be a good idea if we went out to eat. You know, just as a little celebration."

"Alright, let me get changed and I'll be right out." I said as I rushed off to my room.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

We ended up going to a little pub. We got lots of beer and whatnot. By the end, we were all drunk. Not so much as to puke, but still drunk. Takeru was the drunkest out of all of us. Yamato paid the bill and we left for the park.

We were just walking along and talking with slurred words when Yamato suddenly needed to go back to the bar because he left his wallet. He rushed off and Takeru and I kept walking through the park.

"Hey, Takeru…How's your mom?" I asked a little dizzily.

"Yea…she…fine…" Takeru said with much difficulty.

"Do you…wanna see…your dad—" I never got to finish my sentence.

POW! Light's out…Last thing I remember, I heard Yamato's voice shouting at somebody…He seemed angry…There was a blinding pain in my ribs, my legs, and all over my face…I cringed with pain…Then, nothing.
