The next day, when Kari awoke, she still felt bad. She was tossing and turning the whole night as the image of T.K. standing in her doorway with a tear falling stayed burned into her memory. She felt really bad and did not want to get out of bed. Then her mother called out for her to get out of bed. She grumbled for a second before she groggily got out of bed rubbing her eyes.
When Kari opened the door, she found Tai sitting there reading a book entitled "Soccer moves that will leave your defender behind." She sat down across from him looking out the window. The sun was shining brightly on the city as her mother came in serving breakfast.
They ate silently until Tai broke the silence. "So Kari how was the date?" Kari sat there looking at him while she chewed her food.
"It was ok." She said in her only response as she went back to eating. A queasy feeling in her stomach started to form as the image of T.K. once again flashed into her head.
"What did you two do after dinner because you two were out way to long for just dinner?" Tai asked inquisitively. Kari swallowed her food and took a drink of her orange juice. She looked over at her mom, to her surprise, who was listening to everything they both said.
"We took a walk in the park and then came home." Kari said as the feeling in her stomach got worse. She looked up at Tai who was about to ask another question. "I don't feel so good, I think I am going to go lie down." She said as she got up and left. Tai watched her as she had a hand on her stomach while walking to her room.
Kari closed the door behind her and sat down on her bed. She could not help but feel bad about T.K. She looked over at her phone and thought about calling him. She was about to reach out for the phone when Tai started to knock on the door.
"May I come in?' He asked through the door. She let him come in and he opened the door. He walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"Did something happen last night? I mean if T.K. did something I could always beat him up." He said as he tried to lighten the mood, but to no avail. Kari sat there still holding onto her stomach as the feeling did not go away.
"Well…" Kari began, "When we were in the park, T.K. told me how he really felt about me. He told me that he loved me, but I told him that I did not feel the same way." Kari's thoughts started to flashback to when they were on the bridge.
Kari still could feel T.K.'s body shaking as he hugged her. She could still feel everything like it just happened not only but a moment ago. Tai understood what T.K. could have been feeling when Kari told him that. A thought came to his mind as he remembered the time he told Sora how he felt about her.
Tai put his arm around his little sister as he patted her shoulder. "Well the best thing I would say to do is to let him be for a while so that he could get over his feelings. But if you are really worried about him, then you should call him and help him." Tai stood up and placed his other hand on her shoulder. "He will be ok. Don't worry." He said as he left the room.
Kari looked over at her phone for a moment. Then she stood up and started to make her way over to the phone. She wanted to call T.K. and talk to him so bad, but she did not know if he was ok or not.
She made her way towards her phone and was about to pick it up. Just then it started to ring, which startled her. She picked up the phone and placed it to her ear. "Hello?"
