Be prepared! And enjoy!
**Start**
You went back into your apartment and you sat on the couch thinking.
'Why was Tai acting like such an ass?' you asked yourself.
Shari and Brenna walked into the room.
"Heya Tailer. What's wrong?" Shari asked noticing the frustrated look on your face. You sighed.
"Tai. He was acting really strange. And he seemed so... Ugh, I don't know. He was acting...funny." you said.
"How so?" Shari asked.
"Well, he seemed so secretive about something." you said.
"That's weird." Brenna said.
"Yeah. And when I went to the door he was all sweaty and such." you said looking at the floor.
"Y-You don't think...?" Shari said. Brenna's eyes widened.
"That's it! He secretly does aerobics." Brenna said smiling. You looked up at her with a weird look on your face. Brenna sweatdropped.
"Heheh... I just wanted to lighten the mood a bit." she said rubbing her neck. You sighed.
"Sorry Brenna, but this isn't really a laughing matter." you mumbled. Shari smacked her on the back of the head.
"What are you going to do, Tailer?" Shari asked.
"I'm going to go up on the hill, and I'm going to call my girls back home." you said as you got up from the couch. The girls nodded and you walked to your room to get your keys and cell phone.
Once you had your things, you walked out of your apartment and over to your bike. You uncovered it, and you got on and started the bike. You took off out of the parking lot, and you drove through the town. You drove out of the city and up to the hill that you and Tai sat at a while ago.
You parked the bike and you leaned against it as you stared over the city.
'What if he is cheating on me?' you asked yourself. You sighed and pulled out your cell phone. You dialed Jolene's cell phone number. It rang for a while.
"Hello?" came the answer.
"Hey Jolene." you said.
"Who's this?" she asked.
"It's Tailer." you said slowly.
"This can't be Tailer. The Tailer I know would never sound so miserable." she said.
"Well, I am Tailer. And I am miserable." you said.
"What's wrong, girl?" she asked.
"I-I think Tai's cheating on me." you said.
"WHAT!?" she screamed.
"Yeah. I went over to his house after school and he was all sweaty and he was so secretive. He wouldn't tell me anything, and he kept trying to avoid eye contact." you said.
"I'm so sorry, Tailer." she said sincerely.
"Why does this always happen to me? Shadow said he was the right one... But he cheated on me once with Sora, and he's probably doing it again with her now!" you whispered.
"I don't know what to tell you." she said. You sniffed.
"I want my old life back. I wish I could go back in time to the night I was sent to the Digital World. I would have stopped myself from going. Then maybe I would have never met Tai or the others. And I could still be happy." you said.
"But, if you never went there, you prolly wouldn't have met us. After you went to the Digital World, you introduced yourself to us because you found the courage you lost. We would never have given you a second glance had you not talked to us first." she said. You sighed.
"I just want to forget about Tai and the Digital World. And I want to go back to America and be with you. I don't like Japan anymore." you said. It was silent for a while.
"Why am I cursed, Jolene?" you asked.
"You're not cursed. You just can't pick the right guys, Tailer. You're only sixteen. We have the rest of our lives to pick a man. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be tied down at an early age. We were going to travel around the world, remember?" she said.
'Oh yeah. We were going to travel...' you thought.
"Yeah well..." you said. Jolene chuckled.
"Let's talk about something else to lighten the mood." she said. You could tell that she was smiling. You grinned a bit.
"What are you going to do for your birthday this year? It's in less than a month, you know." she said.
"I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to sit around." you said
"Well, you're going to come back over to America for a visit though, right?" Jolene asked.
"I hope so. I really don't want to stay here bored out of my mind all summer." you said.
"You'd better find a way out here. Cause, I don't think that all of us can get over there." she said chuckling. You smiled.
"So, how's school goin for y'all?" you asked.
"Well, high school's high school. Basically the same as it was when you left." she said.
"Cool." you said.
"Oh, but Red and Cole are broken up." she said.
"What? How? Why? When?" the questions spilled out of your mouth.
"He was cheating on her." she said.
"I knew it! We all told her that he'd cheat on her! But did she listen? No!" you said.
"Well, they were dating for like three years. That's better than any of us." she said chuckling. You laughed.
"Yeah, it is. The longest relationship for me was what? Six months?" you asked.
"Yeah I think so. And it was with Brock. Speaking of him, have you heard from him? We still don't know where he is..." she said. You smiled.
"I've seen him. He's my neighbor!" you said.
"You're kidding me!? He's your neighbor!? And you didn't tell us!? You're a buttmunch!" she said laughing .
"Sorry. It didn't occur to me." you said rubbing your neck. It was silent again. You were playing with your hair.
"Hmm...." you said.
"'Hmm' what?" Jolene asked.
"I have the sudden urge to see what I look like with my hair cornrowed." you said chuckling. Jolene laughed.
"You're kidding, right!?" she asked.
"No I'm not. I'm going to try and cornrow my hair." you said smiling.
"You're a freak!" she said. You laughed.
"Yeah but you love me anyways." you said, the smile still on your face.
"Of course I do!" she said. It was silent again.
You sighed.
"Tailer you have to forget about him if you want to feel better." she said.
"I hate how you can read my mind, Jolene!" you said.
"No you don't." she said matter-of-factly.
"Gr. Not fair..." you muttered. You could tell that she was trying to smirk.
"No smirking for you, girl. You're bad at it." you said smirking.
"Shut up." she said. You laughed. Then you heard the bushes rustle from behind you. You turned around and you looked at the bushes.
"Tailer?" Jolene asked from your moment of silence.
"I think someone followed me." you mumbled. You looked at the bushes again and you saw nothing.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Well, I don't see anyone... It's a little weird if you ask me..." you said. You heard the bushes rustle again. You jumped and looked back at the bushes.
"Tailer." they said breathlessly.
"Jolene, I'll call you later. I have to go." you said.
"Alright. If you don't call, I'll call you in about an hour. Got it?" she said.
"Got it. See ya." you said, then you closed the phone, your eyes never leaving the person in front of you.
"K-Kyler?" you asked. He smiled. He had black, shaggy hair, and gorgeous blue eyes.
"Hey TaiTai." he said.
"You died!" you said in shock.
"Everyone thought I did. It was a set-up." he said.
"You faked your own death!?" you asked.
"Yeah." he said.
"Why?" you asked.
"My parents kept trying to kill me, Tailer! Everyone thought that they loved me, they treated me like shit, and they used me for target practice! They'd throw knives at me! If that's not attempted murder, then I don't know what is!" he said.
"I don't believe that you're Kyler. I saw him die." you said.
"Ask me anything." he said. You thought hard for about a minute. (Me: wow re-reading that, it's so WOW in your face xD)
'Something only Kyler could answer... What should I ask him?' you thought.
"Uh..." you said.
"Have you thought of one yet?" he asked. You glared at him.
"Does it look like it!?" you snapped.
"No. Sorry." he said. You thought for a while.
"Alright. What was the first thing I said to you when I met you?" you asked smirking.
"That's easy. You said, 'You know, Kyler sounds like a fat kid's name.'" he said. Your jaw dropped and your eyes widened.
"You remembered that!?" you asked.
"Of course. I still can't forgive you for that." he said. You smiled. This really was the Kyler that you thought had died six months ago.
Your eyes swelled with tears as you ran to him and wrapped your arms around him. He hugged you close to him, and you inhaled his scent deeply. You stood in his arms for about a minute, then you pulled away from him and you looked into his eyes.
"I missed you so much." he said.
"Ditto. I have so many questions, Ky." you said.
"Come on. I'll answer them for you." he said as he started walking to your bike. He sat down on the ground next to it. You sat down next to him.
"Alright, fire away." he said.
"How long were you planning your death, and how did you make it happen?" you asked.
"Well, I had been planning it for a few months. I was just going to kill myself, then I thought of you, and I couldn't. So, I found a kid online that said he wanted to die. So, he agreed to do this for me. We dressed him up as me, and yeah. It's self-explanitory." he said. (Me: wow that's mean)
"So...that wasn't you then..." you said disappointed. You looked into your lap. He knew what you were talking about. When "he" said that he loved you.
"Tailer, all that he said was from me. I do love you, TaiTai." he said as he lifted up your chin.
"You're my best friend. And if I could, I'd kiss you right now, and ask you to be my girlfriend." he said as he looked into your eyes.
"Why don't you?" you asked.
"Because you have a boyfriend." he said sourly as he dropped his hand from your chin.
"Oh that... Okay, another question. Where did you go after your fake death?" you asked.
"I stayed with Dray. And when he moved here, I went with him. I'm still staying with him. I owe him so much." he said.
"Wait. My brother knew all about this!?" you asked becoming angry.
"He's not the only one that knows." he mumbled.
"Who else knows?" you asked. He opened his mouth, but was cut off.
"Andrews!" you heard from behind you. Yours and Kyler's heads flipped around and you saw Tai standing there.
You stood in shock as you looked at your boyfriend. Kyler stood up and walked to Tai. You couldn't hear what they were saying.
**Tai's POV**
He left his apartment and he started for Tailer's older brother's apartment. When he got there, he knocked loudly on the door.
"Andrews, I know you're in there!" he shouted through the door. The door opened to reveal Kyler.
"Get in here, Kamiya!" he said pulling him in the apartment. Kyler closed the door and faced Tai.
"What do you want!?" he asked.
"I'm telling Tailer. I can't stand lieing to her anymore! It's been six fucking months since then, and you never even called her. If you loved her so much, you would have told her before you faked your death!" he said.
"If you tell her, I swear-" Kyler started.
"I don't care what you'd do to me! I'm going to go and tell her this instant!" Tai said. Then he walked out the door. He went back to his own apartment complex and he ran up the stairs to Tailer's apartment door. He knocked loudly on the door. The door opened and Shari and Brenna glared at him.
"What you you want, Kamiya?" Shari snapped.
"Where's Tailer?" he asked.
"You can't see my wife now! She's not here." Brenna said. (Me: haha inside joke between Brenna and I)
"Your 'wife'?" he asked.
"Yes. She's my lovely wife now. So you can't touch her!" she said. Tai looked at her strangly. Then he turned to Shari.
"Do you know where she is? I need to talk to her!" he said in almost a begging tone.
"She went up to the hill." Shari said.
"Thank you, Shari!" he said then he ran back to his car. He sped through town, without getting pulled over, and finally got to the hill that himself and Tailer were at a while ago. He saw trail marks from her bike and he followed them. He came up to some bushes. Then he heard voices. He heard a voice that sounded like Kyler's.
He went through the bushes when he shouted to Kyler.
"Andrews!" he shouted. Kyler looked at him. He failed to notice Tailer sitting next to Kyler with a shocked look on her face. Kyler got up and walked over to him.
"I got here first, Kamiya." Kyler said smirking.
"You're an ass." Tai growled.
"Well, I couldn't let some wimp go and give away my secret now could I?" Kyler said.
"What did you say to her?" Tai asked, glaring at her.
"I didn't steal her from you if that's what you're saying. I stopped myself from taking her myself. So you should be happy. I could take her from you anyday. But, I'm a nice guy. She's my best friend. I couldn't do that to her. She likes you to much." he said.
"She doesn't like me. She loves me." he said.
"Well, to let you know, she thinks that you're cheating on her, Kamiya. What did you do?" Kyler said.
"Oh shit. Are you serious?!" he asked.
"Yeah. I'll leave and let you talk. Alright?" Kyler said.
"Thanks, man. I owe you one." Tai said, no longer glaring at him.
"No need to repay me. I asked you to not tell Tailer, and you did. I respect that. Even if you were lieing to your girlfriend." Kyler said.
"Alright." Tai said. Kyler nodded and walked back to Tailer.
**Tailer/Your POV**
You watched as Tai and Kyler talked. It appeared to be more heated than a regular conversation.
'How does Tai know Kyler? He wasn't there when I showed Matt and them the DVD... Is Tai the other person that knew about Kyler?' you asked yourself.
Then Kyler nodded and walked back over to you.
"Hey, I'm going to go. I'll call you later, okay?" he said.
"Alright. Bye." you said. Kyler nodded and walked away. Tai was still standing in the same spot. Looking at you, a blank expression on his face. You stood up and leaned against your bike. Soon Tai walked up to you, slowly. He stopped in front of you and you looked away from him.
"Tailer, I know that you think I'm cheating on you. But, I'm not. I swear." he said. You looked into his eyes.
"What about earlier this afternoon, Tai? You wouldn't tell me what you were doing. For all I know you could have been having sex. Because it certainly seemed that way!" you said. He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"It's a little embarassing to tell you the truth. I wasn't with anyone else. I was by myself." he said. You snorted.
"That's wrong." you said.
"And you have one very perverted mind, Tailer! I was doing something non-sexual." he said.
"And what's that?" you asked. He became more red.
"I was doing aerobics..." he mumbled.
"Aerobics!? You're kidding me!?" you said laughing. He slightly glared at you.
"It's not funny, Tailer." he said. You stopped laughing.
"It is for me becuase I lift wights to stay in shape!" you said.
"This is way backwards..." he mumbled.
"Well this is just weird...Because when I was talking to Brenna and Shari, Brenna said that you were doing aerobics. And that's why you were so secretive... Maybe we should listen to her more..." you said.
"Weird... Oh, and speaking of Brenna. When I went to your apartment to talk to you, Brenna said that you and her were married." he said.
"Damnit. I told her not to tell anyone!" you said. Tai looked at you funny.
"Oh, it's an inside joke. Don't worry. I'm not bi or lez. I'm all yours, baby." you said smiling.
"But what about Kyler? He was your first love after all..." he said sourly.
"Well, he respected that I had a boyfriend. And I appreciate that. But, my evil Shadow said that I loved you. And I always will. Even if I don't show it sometimes cause you might make me mad." you said. Then you wrapped your arms around Tai's waist and hugged him tightly. He hugged you back.
The sun was starting to set. And about 30 seconds of you hugging Tai, you pulled away from him and you looked off the hill and out at the city.
"Could this be any more romantic?" you whispered.
"Yeah, it could." he said. You looked back at him and into his brown eyes. Then he slowly put his lips to yours and kissed you sweetly.
(Me: now everyone say it together... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW heehee)
