I don't really know I want to end this yet, hmm. Lots of thinking to do. I'll update as fast as I can. I need to finish this and quarantine before I start posting more. =\ Im stuck on Quarantine too! I hate writers block. I need more inspiration. Inspire me, guys! =D
Btw, A LOT of the time I forgot to add the pov changer line, if I do, TELL ME. I always forget it doesn't transfer.
Yamato
My eyes stare straight ahead. I listen to everything, but I don't let anyone know that. I couldn't if I wanted to, I am gone.
"I don't know. You'd think the room itself would be enough."I hear Janet say. To someone. A voice I know, that stirs feelings somewhere far away, answers. And then the door opens. My body doesn't move because my brains not connected to it properly.
"Hey, asshole. Let's go, this is pathetic. Lookit what you're doing to yourself." I try and climb back into my head, but can't. It's been too long. Which means it's probably been days. My body tilts back, and I'm connected again. I stare into emerald green eyes.
"Hey, gorgeous. Get up. Time for you to eat. And go to the bathroom. And move around. And maybe sleep. But for sure see Baby." Her name gets me on my feet with no effort, and I want her. Now. Billy grabs my hand and pulls me the opposite way I want to go in.
"Food first. Then lots of time for Baby." I let him lead me towards the smell of food. I don't question anything about Baby, because it's dinner time. Which means I don't have any time with Baby. I can hear Janet's footsteps behind us. I let Billy do the leading, and talking. He moves into the cafeteria with me, and makes me sit. Janet gets my food, and Billy picks off my plate.
"That's not half bad," He says quietly. I eat. A lot. I don't even talk to Billy. He refuses to leave me, and even follows me into the bathroom. After i pee for about five minutes and wash my hands, he stops me.
"Look," He holds up my arms, I look, and my brain stops. My wrists to elbows are covered in dark purple to black bruises, and I can see the marks from needles in the bend of my arm. My eyes go up to Billy.
"T.K's not here, is he!"
"No, just me and Baby."
"Good!"
"He's already seen them. That's why I'm here." My eyes drift back to my mutilated arms, and Billy drops them.
"I'm taking you home."
"But I'm no-"
"You're fine. It's just going to take some time, Matt. You've gone through ten times what I have, and I'm lucky to be here, so you must be invincible. I won't let them kill you now." I grab Billy's hand, and his comments about Baby make sense. I lead him out of the bathroom, and towards my room. I ignore Janet completely. Billy hasn't left me, because he was trying to keep me safe from Janet telling me no. I grab the few things I brought with me, and between me and Billy we can carry it all in our arms.
"Matt, you're not ready to go yet." Janet tries to protest. I thrust my chin up, and walk away from her with fake confidence that I will be okay. Billy stays behind me. I see Baby as soon as I get outside, and she starts barking from the front seat of the car she's in.
"Whose..?"
"Sherria's." There's something in his tone that sets alarms off, but I ignore it for now.
"It's unlocked." I open the door and Baby bounds out, and into my arms. I hug her tightly, and then climb into the car. Billy gets into the other side, and then, I'm on my way home.
"Does T.K know I'm coming home today?"
"No."
"Really?"
"We're gonna pick him up from Tai's on the way." I fall silent and stare at the window. I hold Baby in my arms, and whisper things under my breath to her, not actually aware of what I'm saying.
Billy
When I pull into the driveway of Tai's place, Matt's pretty much asleep. He's pulled his sweater over himself to cover his bruises. The fear in his eyes when he saw them actually frightened me. I watch as Matt's eye slowly open. He tilts his sapphire eyes towards me. And it's just a dead, empty stare. There's sleep in his eyes, but there's something else, too. I smile at him, and he smiles back. It lights him up. Everything about him seems to glow. I get out of the car, and up the stairs to Tai's apartment. I knock on the door, and Kari is the one that answers it.
"Oh, hey. Is T.K still here?" I ask her. She motions for me to come in and shuts the door behind me.
"T.K! Billy's here, he wants you!" T.K and Tai race each other from around the corner.
"I beeeeaat youu." Tai sings in T.K's face. T.K takes a swat in his direction.
"Matt's downstairs." I inform them. Both boys eyes land on me. Neither one of them really believe what I said, and then, they shove past me, and fight down the stairs. Kari shakes her head.
"They forgot their shoes." She says. She slides her own on, and picks up the abandoned sneakers. I follow her down towards Yamato, T.K, Tai and Baby. Kari hands her shoes to her brother.
"Hi, Yamato." She says.
"Hello." He says, which turns into a yawn. He rubs his eyes, and I can see the rejection cloud Tai's face.
"I've decided that I'm spending the night." He informs us. T.K rolls his eyes.
"Oh, boy." Matt doesn't even react. Kari gives T.K his shoes, and T.K just drops them onto the floor of the front passenger side. Tai dashes away before anything else can be said. There's a loud crash.
"OW! I'm okay!" T.K and Kari burst into a fit of giggles, and Matt smiles, before climbing back into his seat.
"Let's leave before he comes back." He jokes. Kari gives him a stern look, and Matt winks at her.
Yamato
Taichi takes forever, and I imagine it's probably because he's trying to convince his parents. He bounds down the stairs, and nearly face plants.
"K, let's go. Kari go away." Kari throws her hands up and stops towards the house.
"Bye." T.K calls, to which she raises a hand but doesn't turn around. The other three climb into the car, and Billy heads back to my house, and then...Billy's shaking me awake.
"Come on, gorgeous." I hear the huff from Tai, but ignore it. I let Billy lead me once again, Baby at my feet, barking. I know what's going to happen and I stop, and Billy nearly pulls me over.
"Sorry," He mutters. I take a deep breath and move forward again. When the door opens, eyes turn to look at us, and mouths open.
"Now is not the best time for your questions." Billy informs them before ushering me up the steps and to my room. On my floor in the corner I notice a few boxes with my name on them I don't remember, but I'm too tired to care. I flop into my bed, and I hear Billy move around me quietly.
"Being inside your own head for a week made you that tired?" T.K asks from somewhere above my left side. I feel Tai sit down on my bed beside me, and then Baby. I don't answer T.K, just hide my face under my pillow. T.K smacks my head.
"Night, Matt."
"Night." I mumble...I wake up to Tai's fingers tracing patterns on my back. It's dark, but not so much that I can't see. I turn my head towards him, but I can't really see him, just his shape.
"Hello," He almost sings.
"Hi," I say. Tai continues making shapes. My eyes droop, and then I sit up, startling Tai.
"You're making me sleep again. I have to pee!" I crawl over the brunette, and race to the bathroom. I don't actually have to pee, but I need to cool down. I splash cold water on my face, and look at myself in the mirror. I turn away, before I look into my own eyes. When I get back into bed, Tai wraps his arms around me. I stiffen, just for a second.
"Want me to let go?" I think about saying yes, but then, I don't.
"No, it's okay." I relax into Tai's arms, and just before I drift off again, Tai mumbles something about being wrong,
"Stop it." I say.
"It is, though.."
"Oh, fucking just drop it." I snap.
"Do you want this or not?" I demand I can feel the fear starting to form, but he doesn't let me go yet.
"Of course I do,"
"Then who cares if it's wrong? Besides, tons of things are 'wrong' and people do them anyways." I turn my head slightly, and kiss his throat. I feel the shiver go through him. I feel the question in him. But it'll have to wait for now.
