Chapter 2: Bored

"I think that he can make his own decision on where he goes to," Ken said.

"I know that he could make his own decision I just want to help him make it easier," Joe said getting a little defensive.

"I didn't say that he had to st-," Izzy had gotten cut off.

"I know that you didn't say that he had to," Ken was starting to get really mad. "You all know just as well as I do that no matter how much rehab he went through that he wont be all there until he gets time out of there to get caught back up, and integrated with his life again."

"We know this Ken and we think that it will be easer for Matt if he has a place to go back to," Joe said getting calmer.

"Tai why don't you throw our house into the mix of places for Matt," Sora whispered into Tai's ear.

"He wouldn't want to stay with us," Tai whispered back to Sora.

"I think I speak for all of us Ken, that all of us would be more than ok if Matt stayed with any of us," Mimi announced to the group and they all nodded in agreement.

"Tai how come you haven't said any thing," Kari asked.

"Because he doesn't care," Maria said walking through the door. "In fact none of you really care about him we all know all you people want is his money," Maria smugly said.

"Listen you bitch the only reason why I haven't kick you butt is because Matt may not talk to me if I do," Mimi said in a venomous tone.

"Oh you don't think that I'm a the b word," Maria said sweetly. "You know like I do that none of you managed to live with him. But I was," Maria said matching the sweetness of her voice in the previous statement.

"You're the reason why he had to go to rehab in the place," Mimi said as you could see smoke coming out her ears. Mimi was walking toward her with her finger pointed at her in and enraged manner.

Then from out of no where Sora punched her strait in the eye, "he probable would talk to me any way," Sora shrugged to the girl who was on her butt.

"YOu..Bitch..God Damn you," an embarrassed Maria mumbled losing all composure and all the while giving Sora a glare that could kill a person.

As the group laughed at Maria she left with one last statement, "when I tell Matt what you did he'll never talk to any of you again."

"What makes any of you think that I would have made him go to a rehab center that wouldn't help him psychologically," Joe quizzed. Then there was an awkward silence in the room before Joe broke the silence, "I think his going to be better than any of you think."

"I just don't think that he wants to get better," Tai said to the group.

"Go to hell Tai," Ken spat.

"You know that he's right," a black eyed Maria said with a little grin. "Matt wants to stay same," Maria said in an as a matter-of-fact way. "And I have no problem what so ever helping him in any way possible," Maria said happily.

"Well we do," Kari stated.

"What you don't like Matt the way he is?" Maria asked.

"Get out of my house now!" Mimi growled.

"With pleasure," Maria said bowing out the door. "See you at the party," Maria said closing the door behind her with a lamp getting thrown at the door.

After Maria left all eyes were on Tai for an explanation only to get, "he doesn't have a family, you all know that he loved them."

"What's your point Tai," Cody asked angered.

"He wont want to listen to us, he want a family, we can't give that to him. Why can't you see that," Tai said with a little down.

"Tai he has the crest," Davis was cut off.

"Had," Tai corrected.

"WHATEVER, he had the crest. That's not the point, the point is that he had it for a reason," a frustrated Ken said.

"He never told you when he turned on us did he," Tai said looking dead into Ken's eyes.

"Tai, shut it," Joe said stepping in-between the two.

"Why have you all of the sudden become so protective of Matt, you now his brother?" Tai asked snidely.

After Tai asked his question Sora grabbed Tai by the ear and left with, "sorry Tai's just going to be sleeping on the couch, so he's acting like a jerk because of it."

"He's not acting," Ken spat as Sora took Tai out by the ear to their car.

After they had gotten into the car Sora asked, "what was that all about?"

"I don't know, Matt coming back brought back some old memories," Tai said as he put the key into the ignition.

"So what, what you said in there was mean. And you know how Ken feels about Matt, Tai he want Matt to take the place of his brother," Sora said softly.

"I know, I'm sorry," Tai said looking down at his lap.

"I'm not the one that you should be apologizing to," Sora said sternly.

"I'll say sorry tomorrow," Tai said quietly.

"You better be," Sora warned, "but you'll still be on the couch tonight,"

"But Soora," Tai whined.

"Nope I said you are and you wouldn't want to make me a liar now would you," Sora replied with a wink.

"Fine," Tai pouted with his bottom lip out as they drove off.

---------------------------------------

The next day was the usual in their house, Sora wakes up around 8 and begins to make a breakfast for herself because Tai would wake up at lunch.

Sora talked to her mom for hours as she normally done when the topic of Tai's disposition about Matt's return came up.

"You know honey he's probably worried about maybe you and Matt getting back together," Sora's mother informed.

"No he's not," Sora said flatly. "Tai's not the type to get jealous, Matt is," Sora defended.

"Ever one is like that when there is still a relationship, even if it is just friendship," Sora's mom enlightened.

"Well that could be true, but how could I help him get past that. I don't intend on stop being friends with Matt and I can't see breaking up with Tai," Sora sighed.

"All you can do is basically not give Tai a reason to think any thing is happening. Like for instance bring Mimi or Tai or one of your other friends when going out with Matt," Sora's mom reasoned.

"I guess that your right," Sora sighed once again. "Talk to you tomorrow, and thanks for the advice."

"No problem that's what mothers are for," Sora's mom said her good bye's.

Sora started to make lunch more for Tai then for her. Smelling that Tai woke up and made his way to his normal seat.

Rubbing his eyes Tai asked, "what'chue you making honey?"

After eating there soup and sandwiches Sora asked, "so what classes do you have today?"

"Psychology, which I'm going to probably fail, business c, I'm liking that so far, and lastly today I have track, lets just see any one of those wanna-be's stay up with me," Tai said triumphantly.

"Why don't you think that your going to fail?" Sora asked with her eyebrow raised.

"He is so boring I can't stay awake," Tai whined.

Sora giggled at Tai's responds, "your going to have to stay awake. it's a required class for your major."

"I know its not like I try to fall asleep," Tai continued his whine.

Almost laughing Sora managed to say, "ok, but remember to say sorry to Ken today."

"I remembered, how could I forget," Tai said rubbing his neck implying a neck ach.

-------------------------------

That day went just like Tai had predicted he had fallen asleep in psychology and also had an erasor hit him in the head to prove it. The class that day had dubbed him skunk boy for the day due to the white mark on the middle of the top of the head.

In business he was right once again answering many of the questions asked that day, including why he had a white mark on his head.

At track he did have fun although he wasn't the fastest but was near the fastest, which did kinda disappoint him due to his competitive streak, not to be confused with the white streak on his head.

But trying to find Ken in order to apologize to proved to be harder than he thought, he had turned off his cell phone and wasn't at home all day. That didn't really surprise him since he was always in the public eye doing interviews and thing of that nature. So he decided to apologize to him tomorrow, not thinking that he did anything wrong anyway.

A.N.

I know that there are lots of holes in the story line thus far. And I'm debating on weather or not to do a prequel. I'm leaning toward doing two later on. Yes two, I already know what I would do, but don't know if will.

My other story's 3rd chapter will be going up in a while. Its just going really slowly but it is coming.
