Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Go Breakin' My Heart ❯ Lost in Space ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: Nothing's changed yet. I still only own the plot and my OC's. I have a plot now! I also own the idiots who ran into Matt in the last chapter, and the nurses who don't do their job right.

Warnings: Do we have to go through this every time?

Don't go Breakin' My Heart

Chapter 6-Lost in Space

Tai sat in the waiting room at the hospital. He desperately hoped that Matt wasn't going to die on him-not after he finally told him how he felt. Although he was allowed to ride in the ambulance to get to the hospital, he wasn't allowed to go into any of the rooms with Matt yet. When his parents and sister came through the doors of the emergency room, he burst into tears and was comforted by them.

Finally, at almost three o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor came out to talk to them about Matt.

"Aren't you the one that came with the blonde boy, Yamato-I do believe that was his name." Tai nodded. "Well, I have good news and bad news, but I have to talk to his parents first."

"They're not here. He lives with his dad, and he's in rehab right now for drinking."

"Doesn't his mother see him?"

"Not very often. They don't get along very well anymore."

"Well, who is taking care of him while his father is in rehab?"

"We are."

"Alright. I guess you're the ones I get to tell everything to, then." The doctor took in a deep breath and sighed heavily before continuing. "Okay. The good news is that he's fine. We're amazed that he wasn't killed, but all he got was a broken leg and a lot of cuts. He also got a lot of stitches from the glass cuts. A lot of them were really deep."

"So what's the bad news?"

"He has amnesia. He doesn't even remember his own name, but little things like that will come back to him very quickly. As for the rest, it may never come back. He may never remember the time that he has spent with you, or his family even. Most likely he will never feel the same ways that he did, so if he has a girlfriend or something-you'll want to break the news easy. But it may very well be temporary amnesia-we can't be sure. You'll just have to wait for time to tell."

"Can we go see him?"

"Yes, but only one at a time. You don't want to overwhelm him with people he doesn't remember."

"Okay. Can I go first?" Everybody nodded, and Tai followed the doctor into the room where Matt was being kept.

"I'll let you talk to him alone."

Tai walked into the room, and the doctor shut the door behind him. Slowly, he walked over to the bed and looked down at Matt.

"Hello. What's your name?"

"I'm Taichi."

"Do you know me? Please tell me that you do, because I don't remember anything."

"Yeah, I know you. I've known you since we were eleven and we went to summer camp together."

"Oh. Am I going home with you?"

"Yeah. You're gonna stay with my parents, my sister, and me. My sister's name is Hikari, by the way. You'll probably meet her in a little while. My parents, too."

"Will you tell me stuff about my life until I start remembering things, Taichi?"

"Of course."

"Taichi!"

"What?"

"You're making stuff up again!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yeah, right. I was a superhero who ran through the town saving people from evil villains who were trying to take their energy. Good one, but I really don't think so."

"Well, almost. When we went to the Digiworld-"

"You can't prove anything about the Digiworld."

"Oh yes I can, come on."

"Um, hello? Need crutches!"

"Oh yeah! I'm not used to you having your leg broken."

"Yeah, well I'm barely used to anything! At least I finally remembered my own name without being told."

"That was three days ago!"

"So?"

"Just hurry up already!"

"I can't hurry up if you don't get my crutches!"

"You're so picky! I can't wait till you get your walking cast!"

"Okay, Davis, we need you to open the digiport so I can prove to Matt about the Digiworld."

"Why didn't you ask Kari?"

"She's not home. Over at Minori's again."

"Oh, okay-whatever."

Davis did some random clicking until the digiport finally appeared on the screen.

"Digiport, open!"

For once, they had a good landing, except for Matt who couldn't stand right and ended up falling. Tai helped him up and they walked around a little bit until they saw Agumon.

"Hey guys! What are you doing here? And what happened to Matt?"

"Big car thing. He's got amnesia and didn't believe me when I told him about the digital world."

"Oh. You want me to go get-"

"Yeah. See if we can get him to remember something."

Agumon ran off into the forest and came back with Gabumon. Gabumon had heard about Matt's condition, and didn't run up to hug him.

"Hi, Matt. Do you remember me? I'm your partner Digimon."

"Gabumon?"

"Matt! You remembered my name!" Gabumon couldn't help but show his excitement, so he jumped up and hugged Matt, knocking him over.

"I only remember your name, though. I don't remember meeting you, or ever even being here, but hopefully I will soon."

"You probably will, and before you know it, you'll be coming here to visit me every week!"

"I hope you're right."

"Taichi?"

"Yeah?"

"I can't sleep. This name keeps coming to me, and I don't know who it is."

"Oh? What's the name?"

"Takeru. It seems like I'm supposed to know him really well, but I don't."

"That's your brother. He's the same age as Kari. In fact-you'll probably laugh at this-they're going out."

"Oh. Will I get to see him soon?"

"Probably."

"I'm sorry I still don't remember you, but I'll keep trying."

"It's alright. Take as much time as you need. I think if you remember a few more things, then I'll be able to let you read your diary."

"I have a diary?"

"Well, journal. Whatever you want to call it. But you've written a lot in it. Especially about your most recent feelings."

"You mean, like, who I'm in love with or something."

"Yeah."

"Why don't you just tell me?"

"I think you should either realize it or read it on your own-not have me just tell you. It's more personal if you read your own thoughts."

"Oh, okay. And Taichi?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry if I've disappointed you by not remembering you yet."

"It's okay. Good night, Matt."

"Night Taichi."

"Oh, Yama. I hope you remember me. More than anything I hope you remember that you love me, and I love you. Please get better soon."

Okay-as always, review! And of course I didn't kill Matt off! I could never do that to Yama! He can only get badly hurt if he tries suicide, but something's gotta happen so he'll remember Tai. `, '
