Helloooo! It's me again! Please read and review, it's a lot better than it sounds! Honest!

Unusual Circumstances

I opened my eyes. Everything around was a blur. I couldn't seem to move. So stiff. What had happened? Suddenly horrible images took form in my mind. 'Oh my god!' I gasped. There was a crash. Kai had- Kai had- 'Oh shit!' I cried. The thought made me sit up with incredible speed, which I instantly regretted, holding my head. I looked down at my legs and realised why I couldn't move them. My eyes widened at the sight and nausea gripped me. Kai was laying across me, a pool of blood where his head lay. He had minor cuts and grazes all over most of his body, but my eyes were drawn to the glass, twice the size of my hand, sticking into his back, wedged between 2 of his ribs. I panicked. 'Oh god Kai, don't be dead!' I whispered urgently. A twang in my heart told me I wouldn't be able to be me if he was to go. I wouldn't be able to go on. I nervously raised my hand to a pulse point. I didn't notice that my little finger wasn't there. My heart was thumping against my chest, I didn't dare to breathe. I closed my eyes. There was pulse! He was still there! He wasn't dead! I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Panic struck me again as I realised he may not be dead now, but he will be soon if I don't get him to a hospital… I gently moved my legs from underneath him and kneeled down next to him. My head pounding, I looked around. Tyson and Max had been thrown out into a tree, and were quickly coming round. I searched for Kenny and soon found him searching the surrounding area for the rest of us, most probably for dizzy more than anyone else. Knowing the others were ok, I turned my attention back to Kai. Ok Rai, what can you do to help Kai? What have you been taught? But all I could think about was how he had saved me…. How he risked his life…. For me….

'RAI! You ok buddy?' Tyson yelled. It was enough. I came back from my thoughts and started to think properly for the first time since the accident. I got to work.

'RAI! YO RAI!' Tyson finally made it to my side and the sight of Kai quickly shut him up. The others crowded round soon after. There was a deathly silence as I began to remove the huge lump of glass from Kai's back. Quickly I took Kai's scarf from around his neck and placed it gently around the glass. I gave it a sharp tug and it came free. Kai let out a soft groan which made all of us jump. I felt everyone behind me sigh a breath of relief as Kai responded, meaning he was still with us. I gently turned him over and sat him up as best I could. Max came to my side and held him up while I wrapped the scarf around his chest, desperately trying to stop the blood flowing freely from his back. Next, I tended to his head, taking my shirt off and making it into a turban on his head. Satisfied that his major wounds were somewhat haphazardly taken care of, I signalled for Max to let go and picked Kai up. He was surprisingly light for someone who looked so strong. I looked down on his cut face and I was taken aback. Here he was, the almighty Kai, out cold and looking helpless. I couldn't help but stare, a feeling rising somewhere deep inside me, and I wasn't sure what it was. It couldn't - no! don't be silly Rai! You're just worried about a close friend. But somewhere at the back of my mind I couldn't help thinking, but we're not close friends, Kai doesn't let anyone close enough to become friends. I tried to ignore the nagging feeling at the back of my mind. As if in a daze, I started to walk, not sure exactly of where I was going but not caring either. Tyson started to say something but I didn't hear him. I seemed to have lost the ability to hear. He ran up next to me, his mouth working ten to the dozen, but I don't hear a thing. Max gives me a little shake, but I stare blankly ahead, not responding to either of them. Why did this happen to Kai and not me? I already knew the answer. Because he saved me. He risked his life to save me. But why Kai? Why would you want to save me?

The sound of sirens awoke me from my daze and I closed my eyes in an attempt to block out the bright lights. My body seemed to breath a sigh of relief. It'll be all right now, it's got to get better. I opened my eyes to see a medic rush up to me. I seemed to be able to hear clearly again and I wished I couldn't. There's too much noise, too much confusion. I pulled a face and the medic seemed to think I was hurt. She tried to take Kai off of me. But I don't want to let go. Not yet. He feels right in my arms. It's as if he's my last lifeline and I'm holding on with everything I've got. Max squeezed my shoulder and gave me one of his winning smiles. I sigh and gave Kai up. He was immediately put on a stretcher and attached to what seemed like hundreds of different tubes and wires. I ran after them, not wanting to be away, in case - in case he- doesn't make it. My eyes widened at the thought and I knelt down next to Kai, holding his hand. I realised what an idiot I must have looked like right then, but I didn't care. I just don't want him to leave me. He can't. He mustn't. I need him. Tyson, Max and Kenny got into a different ambulance and we set off in the direction of the hospital, leaving the rest of the loud sirens and blaring lights behind. It was quieter in the ambulance, just the whispers of the medics fussing over Kai and me and the beep, beep, beep of the machine attached to Kai. It's then I notice something is wrong with my hand. I felt ill again as I looked at where my little finger on my left hand should have been. The paramedics noticed my stare and quickly bandaged it up as best they could. I tried to forget about the shooting pain coming from my right hand and concentrated on breathing in time to the beeps from the life support machine.

Suddenly, the rhythm changed. The beeping began to get faster and faster. My heart missed a beat. The paramedics rushed to Kai's side, sandwiching me between them. I gripped Kai's hand with both of mine and brought it to my chest. Please Kai. Don't leave me.
