Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Welcome ❯ Chapter 1

Welcome to my life

By simple plan

Would you rather have someone openly hate you or pretend to like you? Lie to your face or lie behind your back? Pity you or scorn you for something you can’t change? Love you until something changes, or never love you at all? Which is better? Which is worse? How do you choose?

What if you * can’t * choose? . . .

~Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you~

"Davis? Davis, are you paying attention to me?"

No, I’m doing best catch up on my sleep- sleep I missed, thanks to their screaming. And my name is DAISUKE.

"Huh? Wha-?"

"Davis! This is important! You need to pay attention, or we may just lose next time!

And that would be a bad thing? At least I’d be able to relax . . .

"Don’t bother with him, Yolei- Davis doesn’t know the meaning of important. He only cares about food, sleep, and video games."

Daisuke. It’s DAISUKE.

"Whatever- wake me up when it’s time to go home."

~Do you ever wanna runaway?

Do you lock yourself in your room?

With the radio on turned up so loud

But no one hears you screaming~

"Oh, it’s MY fault, is it?! This from ‘oh, honey, let’s have children!’ Huh?! What about that?!"

Shoot, I was hoping to get to my room BEFORE they started screaming . . .

"How was I supposed to know he would turn out so pathetic? Jun was wonderful!"

"True- Why did Jun have to die? Why sweet, smart Jun?"

Yeah- why DID I have to lose the only person who truly knew me?

The music got louder.

~No you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right

You don't know what it's like

To be like me, To be hurt, To feel lost

To be left out in the dark~

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Daisuke, that’s your pager."

Gee, I never would have guessed.

"I know, Vee."

"Aren’t you going to answer it?"

What do you think?

"Not if I don’t have to, Vee. They don’t need me."

"But Dai-"

"BRAT! ONE OF YOUR STUPID FRIENDS IS ON THE PHONE!"

~To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down, but no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life~

"Hey, Dai."

Thank god, at least one person besides Vee knows my name.

"Hey, Ken."

"I heard yelling- is everything alright?"

Uh oh.

"Yeah, of course everything is alright!"

"Thank you, you’ve confirmed my suspicions."

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh!

"What do you mean?"

"You can’t lie to me- remember? Why don’t you come over here."

"Look, Ken, I can’t right now. I’m . . . grounded."

"Liar."

"Good bye."

"Hey, wait-"

CLICK

Why did it have to be Ken? He’s the only person who can see through my lies every time. It doesn’t matter what I’m lying about- he stills sees right through it. Even back when he was Kaiser I couldn’t fool him. Oh well, doesn’t matter, it’s just pity anyway.

~Do you wanna be somebody else? Are you sick of feeling so left out?

Are you desperate to find something more? Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around?

With their big fake smiles and their stupid lies

Well deep inside you're bleeding, no you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right, you don't know what it's like~

"Daisuke, who was it?"

Who do you think it is? Only one person ever calls me, you know . . .

"Ken."

"Oh, are we going to see him?"

"No, Vee."

"That’s to bad, I like Ken."

Of course you do- he’s good at that.

"Don’t you like Ken, Daisuke?"

"I suppose."

"He’s really nice!"

He’s also a genius- and much to smart to stay with someone like me out of anything but pity.

"Of course he is, Vee! Ken’s a great friend!"

"Hey Daisuke, don’t you have homework?"

I ALWAYS have homework. I just never do it.

"Nah- let’s go play soccer!"

"Yeah!"

~To be like me, to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down, but no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life~

"Davis? Davis, what are you doing here? Ken said you were grounded!" said Kari, plastering a smile on her face.

"You worm you’re way out of it again?" asked T.K. with a slight frown.

"I’ll bet you slipped out." Said Yolei through gritted teeth.

Ken bit his lip.

Daisuke scowled.

Do they really think I don’t notice? I am so sick of this!

"What would you know about my family?!"

"We know that you have a scary older sister. Matt said he hasn’t seen her around for a while- did she finally give and die?"

"Yes!"

"Wha- what?"

"I said yes! Jun is dead! She was in a car accident a few months ago and she didn’t make it!"

No, no, no, I can’t cry here!

~No one ever lied straight to your face

No one ever stabbed you in the back

You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

Never had to work it was always there

You don't know what it's like, what it's like~

"Dai? Are you okay?"

"I need out."

"What?"

"I need out. I’m leaving. I just can’t take it anymore. The fake smiles, the pity, Mom and Dad’s anger, the comments behind my back, the whispers in the halls, the sneers from teachers and alleged friends . . . It’s all just to much. I have to get out. Now."

"But Dai . . ."

"I have money. I’ll be fine. I don’t need anyone."

"Will you take me with you?"

"Of course."

~To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down, but no one's there to save you~

Anyone can choose, it’s just whether or not they make the choice . . .

~No you don't know what it's like

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life~
