I'm sick again today, so I'm writing.

Don't go Breakin' My Heart

Chapter 7-Never Ever

"Okay Yama, I think you can read your diary now."

"Because I finally remembered everybody else?"

"Yup! And tonight we'll go somewhere special to celebrate your remembering everybody!"

"But I still don't remember you."

"That's okay. You will soon enough. I mean, obviously you're getting your memory back a little, so you'll remember me eventually. Hopefully once you read your journal-thingy-whatever you'll remember me."

"Did I write a lot about you?"

Tai nodded, then got off the couch and went into his bedroom. When he came back, he had Matt's notebook in his hands. "Here you go. I suggest you start at the beginning." He handed Matt the notebook, who gratefully took it and started reading.

- Wow. I can't believe I'm actually writing something like this. People would probably think I'm girly, but who cares? My friends say I'm girly anyway because I care about fashion and my hair. Other guys do, too. They just don't have the same fashion sense that I do. I don't get how so many girls like it when guys go running around with their pants falling down and showing off their boxers. I mean, come on! I'd rather wear tight stuff any day. It shows off muscles. Ugh. Dad got home and now I have to make dinner. I'll write again tomorrow probably, if I get time.

- Well, it's been a while since I've written. It probably helps if you don't lose things like this if you're writing in them. It's kinda sad, but it's almost Christmas. To think, this thing was in my pillow the whole time. Good thing TK found it when he stayed the night this weekend. God, I have no idea what to get everybody. Sora's been asking me out for I while, so I think I'll try going out with her. I'll get TK a hat like the one that Gilligan wears. He loves that show. I swear, he's just like Tai sometimes with his love of American TV. What to get Mimi-I don't know. But it'll have to be relatively small so I can ship it to America easy. Maybe I'll send her a couple of new mangas that she'll probably like, `cause I bet she misses reading things in Japanese. For Izzy-that's gonna be hard. I could always get him something for his computer, but he probably has everything he needs for it. I'll think on it for a while. Joe-how about a jar with a human heart? Nah, that'd be cruel. But he does want to be a doctor. Another one to think about. I definitely know what to get Kari. A scrapbook to go with her new camera. I know she'll want one soon. Now what about Tai? I think I'll get him a comb for all that hair of his! He'd kill me if I did that. But really, I've already got his present. I just have to pick it up. It's a gold star with a chain link at the bottom. It says "Best friends forever. From Matt." Then it has half a digivice on it. I have one just like it, only it doesn't say "From Matt" on it, because that it'd just be weird. Wow, I wrote a lot. And I still don't know what to get everybody for Christmas. I haven't even thought about something for my mom or dad, but my dad's not gonna be here anyway, and I still don't get along too well with my mom. I'll probably get her a silver angel necklace, though, since she loves angels. I'm not even gonna bother with something for my dad, `cause he never wants anything anyway, and he'll be gone for a week after, too. Now I'm getting really tired. I don't have school in the morning, but I'm getting up early to say goodbye to my dad. I'll write soon.

Matt continued to read for hours. He learned about his band, about the second set of battles in the Digiworld with Davis and the others, and how he broke up with Sora-but he also learned of his dad beating him. Finally he got to the part that told about him liking Tai, but he stopped before he started reading the entry.

"Tired of reading about yourself?"

"What? Uh, yeah. Kinda. It's a lot to read."

"Where are you at?" Matt didn't say anything. He just handed Tai the notebook and let him see for himself. "That's probably a good place to stop for today."

"Why?"

"Because it tells who you like now."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Well it might be. You probably really don't think the same anymore. Especially since you still don't remember anything that's actually happened to you. Maybe you should wait till you regain some more memories to read this."

"Alright. But I want to know how I got amnesia and broke my leg. That should have been the first thing that came back, but I still don't remember it."

"Actually, it happened because I was reading this thing."

"Really? Did I get mad at you or something?"

"Yeah. There was a big thing and you ended up in the hospital, and you ended up staying here. You woke up and saw that I had been reading your diary, and you got really mad. I'll skip a couple details, but you went outside and fell."

"You mean I tripped?"

"No. I mean the railing broke and you fell. That's why the railing is missing just outside the door."

"Is that how I ended up in the hospital with amnesia?"

"No. There's more." Tai continued to tell the story, skipping a few parts that he didn't think Matt should know yet. When he finished, Matt was wide eyed, and Tai thought he was going to go into shock from the look on his face.

"So I got hit by three cars and lived?"

"Yeah. We're all amazed, and you were really lucky, but that's how you got amnesia."

"Wow. And we'll have to watch the tower of terror so I know what Izzy was talking about."

"We can rent it next weekend if you want."

"Sounds good to me. So are we gonna go out now?"

Tai was frozen for a minute, but quickly shook it off. "If only he meant that how it's supposed to mean right now."

"Taichi? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just remembering something."

"I wish I could do that. Remember, I mean."

"Oh, don't be so bummed about it. You'll remember things soon. Before you know it, you'll be laughing with me about some of the stupid things we did in the digital world."

"I guess you're right. Now help me up and let's go!"

"That I can do!"

"Come on, Yama!"

"I'm coming as fast as I can! I still have crutches, you know!"

They went into the restaurant and Tai stepped up to talk to the waiter behind the counter.

"Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, I do." Tai got on his toes and whispered something in the waiter's ear. Matt wasn't paying attention, luckily for Tai.

"Right this way."

"Come on Yama! Do I have to carry you all the way there?"

"If you want to be there really quick, then yes."

"That's fine with me." Tai scooped Matt up in his arms, and the waiter took the crutches from him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm carrying you. I want to get there really quick."

"Okay, whatever. But people are staring."

"So? If they can't see that you have a broken leg and I'm carrying you, then that's their problem."

The waiter walked off towards the back of the restaurant and Tai followed him, being careful not to hit anybody in the head with Matt's broken leg. When they reached the private room in the back, the waiter set the crutches down against the doorframe and turned on the light in the large room. When Tai walked in carrying Matt everybody jumped up from behind the table and yelled, "Surprise!" They were holding a banner that was hand-made and said "Congratulations on remembering us, Matt!" in big, multicolored letters. Tai set Matt down, who grabbed his crutches and hobbled over to his friends.

"Your server will be with you all in a minute. And there is a surprise that even you don't know about." Tai looked at the waiter, who just winked and walked away.

"So, Matt-did you remember anything else other than our names?" Cody asked eagerly.

"No. Sorry. But Tai let me read this journal-thing that I had been keeping for a few years before this all happened. And he told me about how I ended up in the hospital with a broken leg and amnesia."

"What did you have written?" TK asked.

"Just some random stuff, and the whole digital world thing. You know, the second time. Actually, there was a lot about that, so I know almost everything that happened, but I just don't remember it."

"That's okay. We're just glad you're starting to remember things," Kari added.

"But I did remember one more thing."

"What's that? You haven't even told me that you remembered something else."

Matt reached into his coat and pulled something out of the inner pocket. It was a small box wrapped in multi-colored wrapping-paper. He handed the box to TK.

"Happy early birthday, TK. In case I don't see you tomorrow."

"You remembered my birthday!" TK hugged Matt tightly before he tore the paper off the little box. It was a plastic jewelry box, and it had silver dog tags in it. On the plates a "T" and "K" were engraved, and at the bottom they said "With love, Yamato."

"You like it?"

"Of course I do! But how did you get it? You haven't left Tai's house much-he told me when he called about this."

"Well I remembered it in the middle of the night, so the next day while Tai was at school I talked to his parents and asked them to go get it for me. They promised to keep it a secret until I was ready to tell everybody. I just kept it in the coat I wore in case I saw you any time soon."

"Any other news for us?"

"It's not really big or anything, but I remembered most of the things I've learned in school. I figured I wouldn't tell anybody till tomorrow, but I saw you tonight, so what the heck-I'll tell you the rest. I'm going back to school tomorrow!"

Everybody cheered, even Tai who already knew about it. They all stopped when the manager walked in and startled them.

"I'm sorry sir, were we being too loud?" Tai asked politely.

"No, no. I know why you're here, though. A celebration of regaining memories. I decided to come and give a gift of my own to you all. My brother was the one who called the ambulance when the accident happened, and he told me about it-what the news didn't say, at least. When I told him about this little celebration, he asked me if he could come see the one who was hurt, to see if the kid was okay. I told him I would ask about it, and his friend asked to come, too. He didn't say why, but they asked me to give you all a gift to say congratulations, and I agreed. Everything tonight is free!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes I am. Is it alright if they come see you guys?"

"Uh, Matt? It's up to you."

"Of course. I'd love to thank whoever it was that saved me-kind of."

"Okay. You heard him. He says okay."

"I'll be right back, then."

The manager left and came back with a man and a woman, who both greeted everybody kindly.

"If you'll all excuse me, please enjoy the meal and come again!" Then the manager walked out of the small room and back the way he had come.

Matt timidly walked up to the man and said hello.

"Are you the one who was hit by those three cars a while ago?"

"That's what I've been told. Are you the one who called the ambulance that rescued me?"

"Yes, I am. My name is Jared."

"Thanks Jared, for calling the ambulance and saving me."

"I was just doing something that a lot of people did-I was just the first one to do it. By the way, this is Hina. She has something to say to you."

"Alright. By the way, my name is Yamato and these are my friends."

Hina stepped forward and bowed her head. "I'm sorry Yamato."

"Why? You didn't do anything wrong."

"But I did. I was the one who was driving the semi that hit you. I couldn't stop in time. I'm really sorry."

"That's alright. It wasn't your fault. If the first guy hadn't hit me, then you wouldn't have either. Besides, I wouldn't expect a semi to be able to stop so suddenly."

"I know, but I still feel bad about it."

"Don't feel bad-there was nothing you could do about it. Now smile a little! This is supposed to be a happy night! I know! Why don't you guys join us! Everything's free, and Jared is the manager's brother. I don't think he'd mind feeding two more people."

"Um, Matt?" Tai suddenly said.

"Yeah?"

"My parents are going to be here soon, and I'm not sure we have enough room-although I don't mind having more people."

"Then we'll make room! There's no problem with that, so lets get some more chairs and eat! Who's with me?"

Instantly everybody was chiming "I am!" at different times and the room got to be very loud.

"You're so kind, Yama. And I'm happy for you. I just hope you remember me soon. I'm not sure I can stand you not remembering me much longer."

Okay! Now you can review! In the next chapter Matt finishes reading his journal, and Tai goes a little more insane. And the Taito will be back very soon! Very soon! For MP3's, e-mail me as usual!
