Chapter Four: Trying to Live on

By KellyQ

I'm actually looking forward to live with Lee but I still feel kinda edgy about the whole thing too. What if he's just saying that because he feels bad that mom and dad kicked me out? No! I shouldn't sound like I don't trust Lee. I do! I do trust him more than anything to the point that I love him.

The door opened and the nurse came in. She had bright blue eyes brown hair and gold skin. She gently told a hold of my good wrist put the thermometer in my mouth and waited for a good three minutes.

"You must be glad to get out of here, arrant you?" She finally said.

"Oh, I don't know," I said truthfully, "just not having my wrist not hurt would be good enough for me."

She gave a hearty laugh.

"Now that's the type a response I want to hear." She said as her eyes shinned even more taking the thermometer out of my mouth, "well, your all set to go home in an hour."

"Thanks." I said.

"Any time. Just be careful next time."

"Trust me! I'll never do this thing again."

The nurse nodded her head and walked out. Man! Considering that she had nice eyes, there was something about her I didn't like. I elevated my arm again and closed my eyes when the door opened again. I turned my head as my heart skipped. Lee came up and kissed me on the forehead.

"Ready to go home?"

"Yea but the nurse said that I can't go home until an hour." I informed him.

"That's a good time for you to leave but I want to get you out here. I can't stand you like this."

I kissed him the cheek saying that I was fine; and I was. My arm may hurt but I'm fine because I have the one who matters to me. I was glad that Juri understood how I felt about Lee. When she came to see me, she looked as though she hadn't slept in a week .... okay she looked terrible and I knew that it was my fault for inflicting that type of pain to her.

Yet something hit me. How am I going to get my stuff out the house? My parents, I don't' think will set me set foot in.

"What's wrong, Takato-chan?" He asked.

"My stuff. How are going to get my stuff? I don't think my parents will let me set foot in the house."

"Let's not worry about that right now. Let's get you to my place and then we'll get your stuff."

We walked to the car hand in hand. Once we got to his big apartment, he showed me around. His little sister Suzi, recognize my voice saying that I was the angry kid that allways calls for Lee. She stayed away from me after that. I tried to tell her that I didn't bite but she just didn't come near me. Lee tried to get her to talk to me but she just had nothing to do with me.

"It really doesn't matter." I told him as I kissed him, "she'll get use to having me around."

"If you say so, but I should go check on Guilmon ...."

"Oh, shit! I all most forgot! He must be starving! The poor guy." I winced.

"I wouldn't quite say that," he chuckled, "he's the only other Digimon I know that saves food."

"That's Guilmon for ya," I grind, "allway's making sure he has some for later. Smart boy."

"Yep. But anyway's, I should check on him. I'll be back."

"Okay. Don't stay to long in the park..." I told him.

"Don't worry, Terriermon will be with me."

He kissed me good-bye and walked out but why do I have this feeling that something bad going to happen. I just had to go with him. I ran out of the house and caught up with him. He told me go back and get some rest but I shook my head and said that I would be board and lonely without him. With a chuckle he took my hand and we continued walking.

On the way people just looked at us strangely at us. I was going to glare at them but Lee squeezed my hand and pulled along to the shack. We just where going to walk in when...

"Takato, hey!"

Guilmon jumped on me knocking me down on my back and licked my face like a dog. Lee stepped up pulling him off me with a chuckle.

"Lee told me that you where busy. Do you have time to play with me now?"

"Not much I can do boy ...."

"I'll play with you." Terriermon interrupted hoping off Lee's shoulder.

We watched as both played with each other. It was nice that our Digimon became such good friends. I sat there thinking when we where greeted by Kenta and Hirokazu us with a hi.

"Couldn't stand the hospital food?" Hirokazu joked.

"Well someone's got to keep him out of trouble." Kenta joked back nudging his friend.

I couldn't help but chuckle. I turned my head to see that Lee had walked out. I got to my feet and followed him out to the stairs. I can tell he was upset about something.

"What's wrong, Lee-chan?" I asked stepping in front of him, "is it Hirokazu and Kenta?"

"It's just that .... they .... I don't like the way they treat you ...."

"I wouldn't worry," I said touching his face with my wrist that had the wrist-brace, "they mean well."

I could feel the two boys looking at us. I looked over his shoulder to see them looking at us with shock. Lee put his hand on my cheek to get my attention.

"Are you too going out or something?" Hirokazu asked.

Lee closed his eyes as his eyebrow twitched. How is it that Hirokazu and Kenta can annoy my boyfriend so easily. Besides I want to be alone with him.

"Well, are you?" Hirokazu asked walking up.

"Do I really have to answer that question?" Lee asked a little annoyed.

"Shish, I can take a hint. Come one Hirokazu."

Kenta took a hold his friend and they walked off, Lee sighed angrily with his eyes still closed.

"Try not to take it personally," I said kissing him, "they are not as bad as you think."

Lee didn't say anything but held me close. So that's what he was after, he wanted to be alone with me. I returned the hug as well as he rocked me back and forth. I snuggled closer to him. Opening my eyes, I looked at the sky, the image of my parents still haunt me somewhere in my mind. Why? Why couldn't they understand that love is love. I sighed. I wish that my parents where more open. I can tell that Lee's parents don't have a problem with me .... yet.

I know it's too early to judge what Lee's parents are going to do, but that doesn't matter right now. The only thing that matters right now is ... oh great my stomach is growling at me.

"Hungry?"

"Yea, but what about Guilmon?"

"Don't worry about me," He replied with a smile, " I still have some food left."

"Okay. Lee and I will come back later to check on you."

"Terriermon too?"

"Of course me too."

Guilmon grind from ear to ear. We both turned and started to walk down the stairs with Terriermon on his shoulder. We walked toward his place in silence. Thinking is not that dangerous as some people say, and you might use some brain sells that you don't use that often.

"Lee?" I finally asked.

"Hmm?"

"Are you sure that I can still live with you?"

"Takato-chan, listen to me..."

He stepped in front of me taking my hand. My body started feel as though I could walk on air and my mind went blank as he looked at me.

"My parents would have no problem as part of the family."

"Yea but just means another mouth to feed." I said looking away.

"Would it help to say that they know ---"

My eyes grew big as I looked back at my boyfriend. They know? He told them? How could he? Pretty soon everyone will know that I'm a freak and ugly.

"You ... you told them? How could you!" I snapped yanking my arms away.

"It's not what you think ...." He panicked stepping closer to me.

I step back from him.

"Takato-chan ... please! I don't want to lose you again!"

"Lee you are such a wimp!" Terriermon groaned, "just tell him the truth!"

I looked harder at my boyfriend. He looked away from me with shame on his face. I felt my stomach turn when I saw the tears. His parents didn't disown him to! I felt like shit! I didn't mean to make this happen to the both of us! Once I pulled him into a hug his body was shaking really bad.

"Lee ... I'm sorry --- please stop crying! I can't stand seeing you cry! Please stop!" I begged.

He finally stopped. His lower lip trembling tears still sliding down his shiny moist cheeks.

"Don't worry Lee-chan," I whispered holding him, "we'll get through this together. Now what's wrong?"

"AIDS." He said simply.

"What?"

I tried to catch my breath when he said that. No! I tried to keep myself from braking down as I kept hold of his frail body. We stayed silent for quite sometime.

"I'm sorry ..." He whispered looking at me with great pain in his eyes.

I winced. I felt as though someone had taken my heart and rung it out like a soggy wet towel to dry. How can this happen to my Lee-chan.

"You don't have to apologize," I said trying to hold back my tears, "because no matter what I'll always love you."

He clung on to me with tears in his eyes. I don't know if they were tears of joy or not but he continued to shake as well.

"---Promise you won't leave me again?" He asked.

"I promise," I assured him kissing him.
