Chapter Five: Numb

KellyQ

( Mr. Matsuda's Pov )

I watched helplessly as my son lay on the hospital bed unconscious. It hurt me to see him like this. I know that my wife doesn't want to admit that she regretted how she reacted when we found out that our son is gay. I could try to talk but that wont do any good; she'll just blow me off with one of her smart-ass remarks.

(Mrs. Matsuda's Pov)

Why does everything have to be my fault? I mean, first its Takato wanting any pet now this. I try to be a good mother but maybe I'm trying to hard. I do want my son to be happy and healthy not in any type of pain like this. I reached out and ran my fingers through my son's hair.

"Honey?"

"I'm all right, I breathed, "Just thinking."

"Thinking of what?"

(Mr. Matsuba's Pov)

Her face turned dark as she admitted that she wrong of stopping our son form loving another of the same sex. I couldn't help but smile in triumph, I knew that she could understand.

(Lee's Pov)

I had to apologize to my boyfriend even if he didn't except it, I just had to other wise I would never be able to look into his beautiful eyes. I called his house but no one answered, I went to our hideout to see Gulimon curled up like a dog resting his eyes. I stared to sink in the ground, my vision started to become blurry as I felt tears forming under my eyes.

"Takato... I'm so sorry....." I whispered, "I never wanted to hurt you ....."

"Lee?"

I looked up to see Guilmon looking at me with concern in his eyes, I looked at him then the image of Takato appeared. Guilmon looked at me with confusion in his eyes, I couldn't take it anymore; turned and ran; just seeing him reminded me of Takato.

"Huh? Lee? Where are you going?"

I stopped to see that it was Juir with a worried look on her face. Why are people looking at me like that. I backed away from turned and started run. I could here her calling back to me but didn't responded, I just wanted to find him and apologize for walking out on him the second time.

"Lee, wait up!"

Keep running keep running I told myself but she caught with me; I stopped as she did too panting. She put her hand on my shoulder looking into my eyes.

"Thanks for waiting for me. Takato's parents want you to come to the hospital right away."

Oh no! No, not my Takato! Not realizing what I was doing, I pushed her out of the way and ran as fast as I could go. I could hear Juir telling me to wait up for her; I didn't have time to slow down, Takato needs me! But wait, what would he be doing in the hospital again? He didn't ... oh no! I picked up my speed but I was no where near the hospital.

"Juir, what hospital did they say Takato was at?"

"I don't know ...."

I sighed angrily and continued the run, Juir started to follow me as fast as she could go. I continued running home so I could call around to see if I know, were I can locate my boyfriend. Juri caught up with me saying that she would help me find him; I couldn't help but smile thinking how nice she is even though I was a little mean to her and pushed her.

"Why do you want to help me so much?" I finally asked.

"Because I know how much he needs you and loves you."

I stopped dead with big eyes feeling very nervous. How did she know that I was in love Takato?

(Juri Pov)

I covered my mouth as I watched him stop dead as though he was turned to stone, I knew that I said to much, but I didn't mean to; I was just answering his question. He just stood there with his back turned on me, bit the bottom of my lip hoping that he wasn't going to hate me. I don't want anyone to hate me, I just want people to get along with each other.

"Lee I ...."

I waited for him to turn and lash out on me but instead he told me that we have to find Takato and see if he's all right. Right at that moment, I felt as though ten thousand pounds have been lifted off my heart. I smiled and followed him to his house.

What a house it was, it was bigger than the place I live. His mom turned when we stepped in the door and said that Takato's parents want us to met them at the hospital. She grabbed her purse and walked to the door as we stepped out of the way and followed her to the car.

(Lee's Pov)

I sat there in the car set wanting the car to move faster, how could have I done to this to my Takato. We got there half an hour latter. I quickly got out of the car ran in to the front desk and asked for Takato Matsuda. The lady looked at and asked if I was a family member.

"No, I'm his ...."

"He's a friend of ours." Said Mrs. Matsuda walking up.

I turned, bit the bottom of my lip as I saw Takato's father walking up. I couldn't move for some reason like I was paralyzed. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see Juir smile at me like I should trust my boyfriends parents. Finally after moments of silence, Mrs. Matsuda bent to one knee taking my hand with great guilt in her eyes. I blinked with great confusion. Why where his parents all of a sudden being nice to me, they hate people how like the same sex.

( Mrs. Matsuda's Pov )

I can see that he is afraid of my husband and I. I don't blame him, I know it's easy to scare kids when you are a parent. Okay, I was mad but I know that I was wrong to stop my son from being happy. Now the only thing to do is to convince them both that I'm not mad anymore.

"Listen, what happened in the past, just forget it ...."

Takato's boyfriend yanked his hand away looking vary angry at me as he started to yell at me with pier anger in his voice. Juir backed away with fear in her eyes, he turned pushed her out of the way ran down the hallway out to the parking lot. We all followed him with my son's boyfriend's parents following close; we where just going to cross the street with an on coming car came for him full speed.

"Lee, look out!"

Everything after that seemed to go into slow motion as the car came forward, Lee turned with fear in his eyes for one moment but the most amassing thing happened; he jumped onto the hood as the car was trying to stop, stumbled off rolling off lying on the pavement unconscious. We all ran to him as the lady got out of the car saying 'oh my god! Is he okay?'

"Yea but should take him back into the hospital to make sure." Lee's father responded.

He picked him up and we cared him back in to wait for him to wake up. The nurse walked up to say that the young boy was awake. We all got up ran down the hallway to the room to see that he was sitting up, Lee's mother ran and hugged her son.

"I'm so sorry that I all most it you! Are you all right?" The lady asked with fear in her eyes.

"Yea, I think so."

"Oh good ... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I hit an innocent boy."

"Innocent? Who said I was innocent?"

The lady looked really hurt and confused by what he said. I really wanted to tell him to stop being so mean to everyone, but it's not my department to do that.

"Lee! You should be thankful that the young lady saw you," Said his mother, "she could've hit you and you could've died!"

"Died? What would that matter. No one would care."

"What are you saying" Juir responded with a hurt look on her face, "of course we would. We all care about you, your mom, dad, Terriermon and Takato."

She covered her mouth with fear in her eyes, now why did she do that, is there something I missed here I thought with confusion. I hate when people don't tell me what's going on and leave some of the important details, it makes me feel so dome.

(Juir Pov)

My body started to sake as I pot my hand over my mouth to keep myself from saying any more of Lee's secrets about him and Takato. Everyone was now looking us especially the lady; she just starred at us with otter shock as she looked back at Lee with understanding.

"I see," she said walking up and sitting next to him, "having problem with friends?"

Lee nodded.

"Well," She said taking in a deep breath, "the only thing I can say is that at times like these is to talk to people you trust."

She patted him lightly on the shoulder and walked out, I turned and walked out wanting to thank the lady for helping out but it was too late she was gone. Oh well, I thought, it would've been nice to thank her for trying to help. I turned walked back inside.

"Aren't you going to see Takato?" I asked walking in.

"I can't." Lee answered lowering his head as his face turned dark.

"Why not?" We all asked at once.

"I just can't!" He said angrily snapping his head up with eyes that where clouded over with pain and lose.

"There's no reason to shout, honey." His mom responded.

"Just leave me alone!" Lee demanded lying back down and rolling over.

We all just stood there watching him for one moment before leaving the room. I looked back before closing the door; before closing it I thought I could here him sob. I really wanted to run back and hold him to say that things will get better but I shouldn't give him false hope.

"All right, what's going on?" Lee's father demanded as I walked into the lobby.

Oh no, I thought as I ran into the room hoping that both families where not going to have a war or do something that will make things worse for Lee and Takato.

"To be honest, we are not exactly sure our ..."

"What do you mean by that? Our son almost got himself killed and you don't know what's going on?"

"Please don't fight," I pleated, "Lee and Takato wouldn't like it if you both started to hate each other."

"I think its time that you went home Juir." Lee's father responded.

"Wait, before you go," Mrs. Matsuda walking up, "can I ask you a few questions?"

Oh no here it comes, I closed my eyes ready to tell them everything sense I knew that the questions where going to be.

"All right," I finally said before Mrs. Matsuda could open her mouth, "Takato and Lee are going out ..."

(Lee's Pov)

Why didn't the car just hit me and what made me jump up like that? I deserved to get hit after running out on Takato for the second time. Why did I run out on him anyways? What was holding me back?

Fear.

That's what it was just plane old fear.

I was scared that things where going to be different or that Takato would never be able to trust me again. He always trusted me from what I could tell. He always liked being around me a lot, I never knew why he liked being near me so much until he told me.

"Lee, honey we need to talk." my mom said as she and my dad walked in.

"Juir told ..."

"Oh big whoop! So go ahead, tell me that I'm a freak---"

"Lee!"

"Sorry," I simply said turning my head and looking at the bear wall.

"Come on son," my dad sighed, "get your shoes on."

"Where are we going?"

"Home."

I didn't like the vibes I got the whole way home and I knew that my parents where really mad for not telling anything about what has been going for the past few weeks. I finally couldn't take it anymore and started to cry saying that they should admit that I was a freak to them but they said nothing to me.

I couldn't take anymore of it as the tears continued. What where they doing this to me? Do they really hate me because I have feeling for my best friend?

"Fine, go ahead and hate me! See if I give a shit! Bastards!"

I immediately turned ran down the all way opened the door to my room closed it walked to my bed clopped down and closed my eyes. The door opened one moment later and closed again; I didn't bother to open my eyes until my bed started to flip flop. I opened my eyes to see the it was my little sister making Terriermon bounce on the bed.

"Please stop that."

"But he likes it, see? Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy."

She continued to make my poor Digimon jump and was starting to really make me mad to have her just stand there. Don't get me wrong, I love my little sister very much but you know that some times when you have a bad day and everything that moves just drives you nuts.

"Stop that!" I demanded grabbing Terriermon out of her arms.

She just looked at me as though she was about to have a fit and knew what that was going to do, get me into more trouble.

"All right all right, here!"

I shoved him back to my little laid back down and rolled over. It was silent after that and I could feel my little sister looking at me. I closed my eyes hoping she wouldn't ask questions. I felt part of the bed sink, I opened my eyes again to see that she was sitting three feet away holding out Terriermon. I started to feel bad for getting into her face.

"Oh, Suzie," I finally said taking my Digimon and putting him down, "come here."

She crawled toward me as I put my arms about her skinny body and stroked her hair. I could tell that she was still upset of me. Who wouldn't blame her, I would be too.

"You're not still mad at me, are you?" I asked as we parted.

Suzie nodded her head. I hung my head low, great now my little sister hates me too, but shouldn't be that hard to cheer her up. It's easy to please my little sister and I know exactly what to do.

"How does a chocolate molt sound?" I finally asked as her face lit up, "all right, lets go!"
