Chapter. 10 :I walk alone
Hello folks! Wow, ya'll sure know how to make a person update! Anywaz I started a new fic for the heck of it, but I haven't forgotten this one! I don't own "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" or any other songs I use. NEwaz continue on!
"Hey, Tk...wake up!" Matt whispered to his brother.
"Huh..." Tk rubbed a hand over his eye.
"What do you want, it's the middle of the night!"
"Come with me and I'll tell you." Matt said seriously dragging his brother quietly out the room so he wouldn't wake Davis.
Once the boys were in the privacy of the bathroom Matt locked the door.
"What is it Matt?" Tk asked curiously knowing it must be something anytime his brother woke him up for it.
"...Have you noticed Davis acting a bit weird lately, you know unlike his happy go lucky self?"
"Um...yeah..." Tk said taking a seat at the end of the bath tub.
"I think something is seriously wrong Tk. Ok you know when we went with Davis mom and dad to some business thing?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well if I tell you something will you promise to not tell Davis?" Matt looked his brother in the eyes.
"Sure, what is it?"
"...One night during the trip I had to make a stop at the bathroom. I didn't realize anyone was in their until I opened the door-"
"Ok so..." Tk said cutting him off.
"If you'll shut up, I'm getting there. Now, when I got in I realized it was Davis. I laughed to my self, how typical of him to accidentally leave the door unlocked, but then I noticed he had something in his hand. He told me it was a note. I wondered why he would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night to read a note. So I pried out what was in his hand. Do you know what I found?" Matt asked glancing at his brother.
"What?"
"This." Matt opened his hand so his Tk could examine the object.
"It's a razer blade." Tk said. "What would he be doing with this?" Tk asked looking at his brother.
"Well, I think he might be using it to cut himself. I don't have full proof yet because he's been avoiding me like the plague. I started looking at him a bit more closely. I think that may have scared him away from me."
"I know, he doesn't like talking about himself as much as everyone thinks he does. That's why no one ever really notices if something is wrong with him, he acts happy all the time."
"I pretty much figured that out too. I started looking for little things with him. Like how he always wears those two wrist bands, they could be for style or they could be hiding something. He also scratches is wrist alot from what I noticed, if your looking for it. There has to be a way to help him..."
"Matt, you know Davis, he has to come to us for help. Right now he wouldn't even admit to having a problem. Davis you have to approach a different way, we can't just force him to get help or he will never really heal." Tk sniffed. He felt so helpless. All they can do is wait for Davis to come to them.
"Don't worry Tk." Matt said as he hugged him. "Everything will turn out fine in the end."
"I know Matt." Tk said letting go. "I just hope he comes to us before he does something to himself he can't get out of."

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors (Alt: We broke our mirrors)
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
I'm so lonely, but that's okay, I shaved my head ...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ...
But I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay ...
My will is good
Hey, hey hey (x6)
chorus kinda (x2)
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors (Alt: We broke our mirrors)
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey (x6)
chorus kinda (x2)
Yeeahhh! I was bobbin' my head back and forth with my eyes closed, I love this song although not as much as it 'Smells like Teen Spirit'.
"Davis, Davis!"
I pressed the stop button and looked up with a half grin on my face. I forgot I was jamming to this song in class.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to wear your earphones in class. If A.P.'s (Assistant principals) walk in here that's my behind." Mr. Saung said turning around to get some papers.
Davis nodded his head crossing his arms and putting them on his desk. History was so boring without music to listen to. He and Tk had this class together with some of his basketball friends and Kari. I'm not sure he and I ever really talked in school, but it doesn't matter as long as he keeps his distance. Last night is something that I never want to happen again.
"Turn in your books to chapter 7 section one, I want you to read that and do the questions in the back. First I have some notes to give you all and then were are going to discuss a bit on the economy and such. Now Mazko, what led to world war 2."
"Um..." She lifted her head off her desk and stared at the teacher. "Somebody killed someone...?"
"Ok...was anybody else listening, we are almost there, ...does anybody care...?" Mr. Saung said sarcastically as he looked over his class. If the students weren't sleep their eyes were glazed over like they might be soon or they were doing something besides history.
"...I wish they wouldn't give ya'll to me right after lunch. You people need to eat less carbs or something, it's making ya sleepy in my class..!" Mr. Saung laughed as he walked in-between the isle of desks.
"So skipping that question what makes the economy better Takeru?"
Tk turned around in his seat being dead caught talking. "People making money sir." Tk answered keeping on a calm face.
"Alright, I can take that. Money does make the world go round doesn't it Akyo?"
"Akyo...?" Mr. Saung repeated, then sighed. "So much respect I get..."
"Money makes the world go round..." Akyo said in a sleepy voice as he rested his head in his hand. He looked as if he would fall asleep any moment.
"Good...Akyo, just regurgitate what I've already said. Now why do prices rise...Daisuke?" Mr. Saung smiled to himself, this was a tough one.
"Davis?" Mr. Saung walked over to Davis's desk.
"...I thought I told you to put that away."
"What...?"
"That's it, I'm righting you up." Mr. Saung walked back to his desk smiling. He turned around.
"Ok I'm just kidding. Davis looked relieved.
"Now answer the question, why do prices rise?"
"Err...uh...inflation...?" Davis answered.
"Good, i'll take that, Now to anyone whose awake we are going to...'' Mr. Saung trailed off.
Davis watched him walk away and decided to follow everyone else's lead. He put his arms on his desk and rested his head on top of them drifting off to sleep.
"I think we might do good at the battle if the bands contest!"
"Yeah, practice rocked!" Davis agreed as he and Tk continued down the street.
"I can't believe were down to two weeks, this week and next week are it."
"I can't wait for next Saturday when we get to perform, it's like an adrenaline rush, all of those people. It'll be awesome." Davis smiled.
"Too bad the first poster was a hoax and it only turned out to be a battle of the bands contest at Odaiba Mall!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. As long as we get to play, I heard they give out pretty sweet prizes anyway."
"Do you know what they are?"
"No, not really although there's this rumor about a record contract, but I know now you can't really trust what they tell you!" Davis laughed.
"Yeah, that's the truth, you wanna spend the night again?" Tk asked casually.
"Um...I don't know..." Davis answered nervously, the smile left his face.
"Come on, it'll be fun!" Tk laughed popping a piece of gum into his mouth.
"Tk, i'll be fine."
Tk sighed. "Sure, you might live to see another day, soon you have to think about it internally. None of us mind you coming over the house Dai. You can stay over whenever you want."
"Thanks for the offer, but my dad is probably wondering where I am, so I'm going to head home, kay."
"Alright, take care of yourself." Tk said sincerely as he turned at the corner to go home.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I hummed the song as I walked home. I knew I was going to be in trouble for sure this time. I just hope I don't end up with too many broken body parts. Haha, I hate my life sometimes.
I kicked the stones one the ground and looked at were they landed. I picked a few up and threw them into the air releasing some pent up stress. As I neared my apartments that all to familiar same sense of dread came to me at warp speed.
I reached my apartment and opened the door. I had no idea what fate had in store for me. By now I could pretty much guess as I saw the dark figure tower luminously above me closing the door firmly, I silently prayed to make it through alive.
"Fuyo?"
"Yeah..."
"Hatsu?"
"Here!"
"Kinetwa?"
"Present."
"Motomiya?"
"Motomiya...?" The teacher raised the role sheet to mark absent when Davis came bursting through the door.
Tk knew his friend was always late, but today it seemed Davis was breathing extra hard for some reason. Tk was just glad to see him alive. Maybe his father didn't hit him on a regular basis. Tk thought to himself as he took a pencil out of his pocket.
"Ah, so you decided to grace us with your presence Daisuke. Go on and take your seat." Mr. Kakito pointed to Davis desk as he finished role calling.
Davis gave him a sarcastic grin then plopped down in his seat near Tk. He was trying hard to catch his breath. He had to run all the way to school and something in his stomach was killing him. Maybe it was fist he received in his stomach as a good bye this morning.

(Davis pov)
I cleared my throat, I hope I don't catch a cold that would be all I needed now. I covered my mouth with my hand as I coughed then picked up my pencil to write. As I glanced at my hand I noticed a red substance on it. What the hell. That bastard bet not have given me internal injuries I thought as I wiped off my hand. I got a tissue from out of my desk and dabbed it quickly inside my mouth. It came back bloody. Shit. I think I have some kind of cut in my mouth. I dabbed my tongue and felt a bit of pain when I did it. So I must have accidentally bitten my tongue. That's no problem, I'm sure it's nothing serious.
I took the tissue away and put it in my pocket. No one noticed what I was doing and a little tongue bite was nothing to worry about.

(normal pov)
Mr. Kakito decided to go off topic again.
"Now, we finished our lesson early so I want to talk to you all. Remember that assembly we went to before christmas break."
Some of the students in the class nodded.
"Ok well I have some news to tell you then. The Grayu is a friend of my and was kind enough to come to the classroom today to tell you all the seriousness of abuse. Now he brought a friend along that isn't much older than you. Class you already know his story of parental and substance abuse, but his friend is going to tell you different one. I am doing this because I feel that some of you..." Mr. Kakito looked at Davis, "..do not understand the seriousness of this matter. Hopefully it will help you better understand your classmate instead of ridiculing him." Mr. Kakito said as he once again referred to his prized student.
Davis was pissed. His temper was going to get the best of his someday. This asswipe is going to stand there and tell him he doesn't understand, well fuck him Davis thought to himself.
Sitting across from Davis, Tk put a hand on his shoulder and whispered.
"Calm down, you know that dumbass has no idea what he's talking about." Tk took has hand off and smiled.
"Thanks." Davis half smiled. He begin to tune everything out again. The first time was bad enough but now he had to hear it again, this was math class not psychology. Oh well it was just another hour. Davis put his arms on his desk again a rested his head determined to catch up on some sleep. I'm not being rude, I just rather forget.

"By that time all I could think about was dying, I thought I had nothing else to live for-"
"I'm sorry to cut you off Kouchi but I'm afraid we are losing students attention, well just one really." Mr. Kakito said walking to that students desk.
"Wake up now Motomiya." The teacher said in a rude tone.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm awake. What the hell do you want?" Davis asked grumpily.
"That is NO way to talk to your teacher. Your lucky I'm not writing you up and sending you packing to the office. Now, pay attention. Everyone else is at least respectful enough to give this man the attention he deserves for telling his painful story. I know you don't care about anyone but yourself but at least respect the people that are willing to share their traumatic past. I know you can't relate and don't care to but you can at least pretend." Mr. Kakito said angrily. He really hated when people did not listen to others while that person is opening up to them.
"Whatever." Davis said staring at the front looking away from the speakers face. Nearly everyone in the class was staring at them. He was trying hard not to say anything.
"I'm sure you have nothing else to say for yourself so if you can be kind enough for the last thirty minutes to at least attempt listen to this mans story-"
"FUCK YOU!" Davis exploded standing out of his desk shoving it. Mr. Kakito finally pushed that last button.
"Don't fucking pretend you know me! You have no fucking idea what the hell is going on in my life! Fuck this class, fuck this school and fuck YOU!" Davis yelled. With that said Davis took his things and walked out of the class.
"The only place you better be going is to the principals office!" Mr. Kakito yelled after him.
"Give it a rest Mr. Kakito, you finally pushed Davis last button. I'm tired of you assuming things too! You tempted him into arguing with you, if anything it should be you apologizing to him." Tk took his stuff and he to left the classroom trying to catch up with Davis.
"Aright, alright, shows over. Sorry for that interruption, please continue. That student will be taken care of and I am sorry for this confrontation."
"Ok If I were Davis were would I go?" Tk asked himself as he walked down the halls of the school. "The bathroom!"
Tk went to the nearest bathroom to find Davis. He was lucky. Davis was there but he wasn't sure how to approach him.
"Tk."
"Yeah?"
"That felt good!" Davis laughed.
"I finally cussed that idiot out!" Haha. Davis cleared his throat again. This time he didn't feel any copper. That meant it had just been a tongue bite.
"...It probably didn't help that I agreed with you. He must have look like a fool after we finished." Tk told him.
"Y..yeah. Stupid bastard, he makes me hate that class." Davis sat on the floor with his legs near his chest and his arms rested on his knees.
"He never knows what he's talking about... Are you alright Dai?" Tk asked glancing at his friend.
Davis sniffed softly. "I will be in a minute. It's like his trying to remind me I have a crappy life."
"...It's not too crappy, you still have your friends and your mom." Tk said taking a seat beside Davis.
Davis dabbed his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt.
"I don't know how many of those people are my real friends and I hardly ever see my mom."
"But they care about you. Trust me you have me, Matt, Tai, all the digi-destined, your soccer friends. We all care about you Dai." Tk wrapped his arms around his friend once again to comfort him. Davis was a bit more unstable than he had once thought. He did just blow up at the teacher. Davis probably as a lot of pent up anger.
"You wanna go to my house?" Tk asked releasing his friend.
"Na, sniff I'll be fine." Davis wiped his tearing eyes on his sleeve tell they were dry.
"Let's just stay here until the next class." Davis suggested.
"Ok. Did you bring your cards?"
"Yeah there in my bag." Davis answered reaching in his bag to find them.
"Cool, I just hope we don't get in too much trouble for skipping." Tk said as Davis shuffled the cards.
Ok that's chapter 10, I hope ya'll liked it! I'm thinking on the other story so stay tuned, until next time more chapters to come. (wrapping it up of course) remember to r/r
