QUIZ START:

You came to the apartment complex where you, Shari, Brenna, and Tai departed from Izzy and Matt. Brenna kissed Matt on the cheek quickly then ran up the stairs to meet up with the rest of you. Shari and her walked into your apartment and you stood next to Tai in front of his own.

"I'm going to check up on Brock and see why he wasn't here today. I'll get on IM later, ok?" you said.

"Alright. I guess I'll talk to you then." he said.

"I guess so." you said. You turned and started walking away from Tai. He grabbed your hand and pulled you back to him. His arms were around your waist and you were against his chest.

"Yes Tai?" you asked, smiling.

"You didn't think that you could get away from me could you?" he asked.

"I bet you I could if I wanted to. But, I'm actually quite fine right here." you said as you rested your head on his chest and took a deep breath.

"Oh well, too bad. You have to go and see Brock, remember?" he said smirking as he pushed you towards Brock's door. You glared back at him.

"I'll get you back for that, Kamiya" you said.

"Is that a threat, Matthews?" he asked.

"Nope. It's a promise." you said as you knocked on Brock's door. Tai rolled his eyes and went into his own apartment.

You could hear the sound of feet running to the door. A girl about thirteen opened the door. She had brown hair that reached to her mid-back, and brown eyes. She smiled at you.

"Hi!" she said. You looked at her suspiciously.

"Hi... Um, is Brock here?" you asked. She laughed.

"Brock! You're girlfriend is here!" she screamed.

"Oh, I'm not his girlfriend." you said.

"Whatever. Come on in." she said. You walked in and waited for Brock. He walked out of his room, and looked at you.

"Um, Tracy, this isn't my girlfriend. She's one of my friends." he said.

"Ok whatever. She's a girl, and she's your friend. A girlfriend." she said. You rolled your eyes.

i'Was I this annoying as a thirteen-year-old?'/i you asked yourself.

"Come on, Tailer. We'll go into my room and talk." Brock said as he led the way to his room. You walked in and closed the door behind you. The room was fairly plain. With a computer, bed, closet, and a few posters on the walls. Brock sat at his computer desk. You sat on the bed.

"Why weren't you in school today?" you asked. He sighed.

"You know that girl in there?" he asked. You nodded.

"Well, that's Tracy. She's my cousin. Her parents died last week, and my mom and I are the only living family she has left. So we're taking care of her. She flew in today. That's why I wasn't there. I was with my mom picking her up." he said.

"Poor kid. How did they die?" you asked.

"Murder. Someone shot them. The three of them were walking on the pier, and someone shot them from behind. She was standing between them. The bullets hit them in the back of their heads, then they fell down right in front of her." he said.

"Poor kid. I know how she feels. Does she remember it?" you asked.

"No. Apparentally she fainted as she heard her the gun shot." he said.

"That's good. If she would have seen it... She would've had to go through so much." you said sighing and looking into your lap. Brock moved from his chair. His fingers lifted up your chin, and you looked into his honey eyes.

"I know how hard it was for you, TaiTai. Try not to think of it, okay? It's helped me quite a bit." he said.

"I try to. But the flash-backs are coming to me more than ever." you said. Brock sighed and let go of your chin. You looked into your lap again, and Brock sat back on his chair. It was silent for a while.

Brock finally broke the silence.

"You don't know how hot you look in that uniform, do you?" he asked. You looked up at him startled.

"What?" you said.

"You look good in that uniform. Not many girls can pull it off. Especially the fat ones." he said shuddering.

"Thanks! Now I have to scrub my retinas in order to get that image out of my head!" you said. He laughed.

"Well, thanks for the compliment, but I have a boyfriend." you said.

"Damn that Kamiya!" he said. You stared at him.

"I was kidding! I have a girlfriend as a matter of fact." he said.

"Well about time!" you said. He mock-glared at you.

"Oh ha ha." he said.

"So who is she?" you asked.

"Rikki Timmons. You probably don't know her." he said.

"Actually I do know her. She helped me tell of Tower today. You really should have been there." you said.

"You told off Tower!? Alright! What did he do to you?" he asked.

"He kept touching me." you said.

Then you told him the whole story of your day. Leaving out finding that you have a half-brother, and leaving out the Digital World thing.

"Wow. Sounds like you had fun!" he said smiling.

"Not really." you said. It was silent again. This time you broke the silence.

"Tracy really has no one left in her life? Friends, anyone?" you asked.

"Well, she was home-schooled. But she did tell me that she had a boyfriend. His name's like Takuya or something." he said.

"You should let her visit him!" you said.

"I don't know where he lives! And she just got here!" he said.

"Oh right." you said. You stood up.

"Well, I'd better get going. Shari and Brenna are alone in my apartment. They prolly did something scary with it. See ya later, Brock." you said. He nodded and you walked out of his room, then the apartment. You walked into yours and you took off your shoes.

"Shari! Brenna! Where are you!?" you called as you walked into the kitchen.

"In your room on the computer!" you heard Shari shout.

"Alright! Just checking! You never know with you two!" you shouted smirking as you looked in the fridge. Brenna ran out of the room. The stared at you, hands on her hips.

"What's that suppose to mean?" she asked.

"It means that you two are a couple of spazes." you said. (Me: Spaz plural. I don't know is that's how its spelt... -_-')

"Oh. Okay then." she said. You rolled your eyes as she walked away. You closed the fridge door, and you grabbed your cell phone out of your bag. You turned it on, and you had one new voicemail. You listened to the voicemail. It was from your dad.

"Sweetie no need to thank me about it. I had to do it for you. I didn't want you to know about it. Don't be upset about it. Well, I'm not suppose to be using the phone I'm at work. But, keep your brother in line for me. And be a good little girl. Alright? I love you. Talk to you later." he said. You erased the message and closed the phone.

"I love my daddy." you said to yourself. You walked into your room and you saw Shari on the computer.

"Whatcha doin, Shari?" you asked.

"I'm IMing my friends back home." she said.

"What are we not good enough for you to talk to?" Brenna asked.

"Yes. I'm sick of you, Renna." she said rolling her eyes. Brenna stuck her tongue out at her. You laughed. You sat on the bed.

"I'm going over to Tai's. I'll see you later." you said after a while of silence.

You got off the bed and walked out of the room. You slipped on your shoes and you walked out the door. You walked to Tai's door and knocked on it. You heard someone walk to the door. The door opened and reveiled Tai. He wasn't wearing a shirt, only a pair of shorts and he looked sweaty. He opened the door so you could walk in. You walked in and you took off your shoes. The he closed the door.

"What were you doing?" you asked looking at his partially wet chest then to his eyes.

"Nothing." he said.

"Really?" you asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Yep." he said.

"Why are you sweaty then?" you asked smirking.

"It's water. I was just in the shower." he said.

"Really? Then why is your hair not that wet? And why do you reak of B.O?" you asked. He couldn't think of what to say. You smirked.

"If only his brain was as big as his hair...*sigh* Then he might be able to lie well." you mumbled to yourself.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Nothing. Just talking to myself." you said.

"Sora said that to me once. The first time we went to the Digital World." he said.

"Well, it's true." you said.

"Are you saying that I'm dumb?" he asked.

"No. I'm just saying that you're not the brightest bulb in the bunch." you said.

"Huh?" he said. You looked at him.

"You know like, you're not the sharpest crayon in the box." you said.

"Still don't get it." he said. You laughed.

"It's not funny." he said seriously. You stopped laughing.

"I swear sometimes you're blonde." you said.

"Not funny, Tailer." he said his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Oh my Ra, Tai! Can you not take a joke?" you asked.

"You weren't called an idiot by your girlfriend now were you? You weren't called stupid and an idiot by your classmates your whole life." he said.

"Well, I should hope that I wasn't called dumb by my girlfriend. I'm not lez." you said cracking a smile. He just stared at you with emotionless eyes.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Tai? You can't even take a fucking joke." you said. Then you slipped your shoes on and you walked out the door.

**Tai's POV**

Tai stood in the same place staring at the door that Tailer just walked out of. He went and sat on the couch, placing his head in his hands.

"If I could only tell her..." he muttered to himself. He pushed his palms into his eyes making himself see little stars behind his eyelids. He stood up.

"I can't do this to her. I'm quitting." he said. Then he walked into his room and threw on a shirt and socks and shoes, then he walked out the door in a hurry.
