Don't go Breakin' My Heart

Chapter 4-Air

It was Monday at school. Matt had been avoiding Tai all day, even though Tai had been trying to find him.

Tai noticed that Matt was wearing a long sleeved shirt, which he knew Matt hated to wear because he liked to show off his pale arms. He also had a black eye, and Tai was wondering where that came from.

Tai had been wandering around the school trying to find Matt when he finally saw him.

"Matt!"

Matt stopped but didn't turn around. His friend did though, and started to tell Tai off.

"Listen Tai, he doesn't want to talk to you-at all. I don't know what happened between you two, but leave him alone, even if you are his so called best friend."

"Calm down Jakito, I just want to talk to him for a minute."

"No! He said he didn't want to talk to you at all today and-"

"Matt!"

Suddenly Matt fainted and Tai grabbed him long before he hit the ground, though his books slammed to the floor. Tai picked him up like a baby and started giving commands to Jakito.

"Grab his books and come with me to the nurses' office. Something is seriously wrong! Hurry up Jake!"

Jake nodded and grabbed Matt's books while Tai started running down to the nurses' office.

"God Matt. What did I do to you now? I'm sorry. Just don't even try dying on me!"

Matt woke up in the hospital. He looked around the small room, but didn't see anybody. The door opened and Tai walked in.

As soon as Tai saw that Matt was awake, he ran over and hugged him.

"I'm sorry Matt! But why would you do something like that? Tell me, please!"

"You hate me."

"No, I don't. I over-reacted. I shouldn't have said what I did. Please forgive me. I can't lose you now! You're my best friend, and I don't know what I'd do if you died!"

"Okay, I forgive you. But you owe me big time! Next time you get to be the one that slits your wrists!"

"Deal!"

Both boys laughed until Mr. Ishida walked in and Matt went silent.

"Tai, I need to talk to Matt alone for a while."

"Okay." Tai walked out and shut the door behind him.

Matt could tell that his dad was drunk, and he was going to get beat again.

Mr. Ishida slapped Matt hard across the face, and he almost fell out of the bed. "You're so stupid! What the hell were you thinking when you tried to commit suicide?" When Matt didn't answer, he punched him so he fell off the bed and yelped. "Did you think it would help you at all? If you had succeeded, I would have just pulled you out of your grave and taken you home." Matt scooted over to the corner and cowered in fear of his dad. "Oh, are you afraid of your own father? I oughta kill you now. In fact, I think I will kill you-right now!"

He bent down and grabbed Matt by the throat, lifting him until his feet weren't touching the ground. All Matt could do was scream until his air was cut off by the hold that his dad had on him.

Tai ran right through the door when he heard Matt scream. When he saw what Matt's dad was doing to him, he ran over and tried to get him to let go of Matt. Instead of letting go of Matt, he punched Tai hard in the jaw, but Tai wouldn't give up. Finally a nurse came in to see what the commotion was and got some security guards to get Mr. Ishida off Matt.

When everybody was gone, Tai ran to the door and slammed it shut.

"Are you okay Matt?"

When Matt didn't answer, Tai ran over and saw that his best friend had stopped breathing. He instantly started compressions on Matt's chest, hoping to get him to start breathing again.

"Stupid nurse! Why didn't she check to see if he was okay before she left?"

When it came to the part where Tai had to do mouth-to-mouth, he paused for a minute.

"Okay, let him die because I don't want to feel like I'm kissing him, or practically kiss him and save his life? No-brainer."

Tai pinched Matt's nose, opened his mouth wide, and slammed his own mouth against his best friend's, slowly blowing into it. When he didn't start breathing, Tai continued with compressions.

"God, Matt! Don't die on me now!" He blew into Matt's mouth again. "I think I'm starting to like you-as more than a friend." More compressions, and another mouth-to-mouth, but still no response. "No, forget the I think. I know." Even more compressions. "I love you, Yamato Ishida." He shoved his mouth against Matt's again and blew hard. The next thing he knew, Matt was coughing, and he had to hold his friend up.

"Are you okay? I thought for sure I'd lost you! And I don't care what my parents say-you're staying with us until you're well enough to live at your house alone."

"You're not killing me off that easily, Yagami! We still have to find out what the deal with our siblings is!"

"Aw! I wanted to blast your brains out now!" Tai started giggling, and Matt couldn't help but laugh along.

A nurse walked in and started talking; not paying attention to the fact that Matt wasn't lying in his bed.

"Ishida Yamato? You have been signed out by the Yagami family and are free to leave with them." The nurse walked back out, still not noticing that Matt wasn't in his bed, or alone.

"Looks like my parents have the same idea as me. Let's find your clothes and go home!"

"Sounds good to me! I tired of wearing this dress-thing already! Plus I need to get some sleep in a normal bed."

When they found his clothes, Matt got dressed and left with the Yagami family. Tai promised that he would take care of Matt and make sure that he didn't try to die again.
