TK awoke as cool air raced through the alley. He blinked his eyes a few times before he realized that night had fallen. He took out his phone and looked at the time

"Erg one in the morning." He groaned to himself. As he stood the cold air hit him again sending a shiver through his body.

"Where can I crash for the night. Mom will be asleep and the apartment door will be locked, if I go home Patamon will rat me out." TK thought as he stumbled through the ally. In the past Patamon had helped him sneak into the apartment, but after they had a fight where TK threw him like a plush doll Patamon hasn't been so willing to help him.

"I don't want to see Matt after earlier today but that might be my only option." He sighed.

...

Matt and Tai awoke to the sounds of loud knocks ringing through their apartment.

"Who the hell could that be it's two in the morning." Matt groaned as he tried to slide out of bed. As he started to get up Tai pulled him back down.

"I don't care who it is. Go back to sleep." Tai said pulling Matt in close. Suddenly loud knocking was heard again.

"Tai our neighbors." Matt whined. Tai grunted his annoyance but let Matt go.

...…...

"What the hell is taking him so long." TK muttered under his breath. As he went to knock again the door opened to reveal a groggy Matt and an even groggier Tai draped over his shoulders.

"It's about time bro." TK said.

"What are you doing here Teeks" Matt said with a yawn.

"I need a place to crash for the night. I thought you might be nice enough to let me chill until morning." TK grunted. Matt sighed

"Fine come on..." He was cut off by Tai.

"No you can't" Tai said suddenly waking up. Matt looked at Tai stunned.

"I don't think that's you're decision to make." TK said angrily.

"Actually BRO, it is. My name is on the lease" Tai shot back at him.

"Come on Matt seriously" TK said ignoring Tai and turning to his brother. Matt was stunned, he wanted to let TK in but it was technically Tai's apartment.

"Tai can't we just let him stay here for one night?" Matt stuttered.

"No I'm tired of you babying him Matt. He's has to grow up and live with the choices he's made. He decided to stay out until two in the morning. He decided not to go home, you keep bailing him out when he's in trouble and as much as I know you mean well it's not going to help him." Tai said.

"But Tai." Matt said giving Tai a sad look.

"No Matt, we are going back to bed and that's final." Tai commanded and with that he scooped up a struggling Matt and shut the door in TK's face. TK stood their stunned at what had just transpired.

...

"Tai what the hell!" Matt yelled angrily as Tai threw him into the bed.

"Like I said he has made his choice and I'm tired of seeing you suffer for his actions." Tai said in a stern voice holding Matt down.

"He's my baby brother Tai! It's kind of my job to look after him!" Matt said as he tried to squirm free of Tai.

"And I'm you're boyfriend who has to listen to you complain about him. I have to see that pained look on your face each time he comes here. It's me who drives you to bail him out of jail and it me that pays for you to do so. I've stood by long enough letting him control your life. We moved to be together and to get away from all that shit. If you want to go after him fine, but if you do don't come back here." Tai said releasing Matt trying to hold back tears. Matt looked at him stunned.

...

TK waited outside the apartment for twenty minutes. When it was clear that no one was letting him in he stood up and kicked the wall.

"Fine be that way." He said as he stormed off. He took out his phone and started to look through his contacts trying to find a place to stay.

"God damn it!" He yelled losing control of his temper. He threw his phone against a wall and it shattered like glass upon impact.

"God damn it! God damn it! GOD DAMN IT!" He screamed punching the wall until blood poured down his hand. As he calmed down he sat on the ground. He looked around and somehow he had made it back to the alleyway. With his uninjured hand he rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out the bags he had gotten earlier as well as his lighter. TK sighed and opened the first bag.
