(Lin's POV)

Today I'm finally getting out of this hospital it's been a while. I can't believe I'm getting out on Amu's birthday. I need to get everything ready for Amu-chan's birthday. I need Ikuto, Kukai, and Tadase to get the things up and ready; Nagi's doing some treats for the party. I need Rima, Yaya, and Utau to get Amu-chan out. Amu-chan's party is going to be at Ikuto-san's house. We've been planning this party for weeks. I was told August thirtieth that I would be getting out of this hospital this day. I've been in this damn hospital since May.

I was brought out of thought from a nurse that took care of me since the time I've been in here; her name is Sally. I was told that the bitch has to sign the freaking papers. Damnit, why can't Ikuto-san sign them? Oh yeah, he's not actual family, but he is to me. Sally then helped me into my wheelchair. This sucks, I have to be in a wheelchair. I was then rolled out into the hallway by Sally to go meet my step-mom so she can sign the release papers. Finally, she finished with the paperwork.

"Is that all?" she asked. When I nodded, she responded, "Then well I'll take you home then honey," in her sweet little acting voice, but I knew all that act too well. She grabbed the wheelchair from Sally, but before that, Sally and I said our goodbyes.

"Thank you for all the months you took care of me."

"You're welcome, Lin. Take care."

My step-mom wheeled me to the parking lot where she had her car parked. She opened the door to her Honda Accord. She was going to help me in, but I learned how to get from the bed to the chair and back in my time at the hospital so it was almost the same. She then grabbed my chair, folded it, put it in the trunk of her car, got in the driver seat, started the car, and drove off. She drove about five blocks away from the hospital. When I told her that Amu's birthday is today, I asked her if she could take me to the market.

It looked like she was about to yell at me, but she just said, "Fine."

'That was odd,' I thought, but then I looked outside the window and saw a happy family looking at us. They smiled and I smiled back; the little girl waved and I waved back at her. The light then turned green. There were two blocks left until we reached the market.

When we got there, she grabbed my chair from the trunk of her car and we entered the market. When I was done choosing the treats and food, she got mad at me because I made her miss her appointment at the spa. It's not my fault that the lines in the market were long.

As we got to the car, she suddenly said, ''I'll see you at home,'' and drove off.

I was pissed, but then thought, 'Oh well.' I started wheeling myself to Ikuto's house; it wasn't that far, only a block away.

(At Ikuto's house)

Amu-chan's birthday is supposed to start at 5PM; it's 4:55 right now, five more minutes and we're just about ready. We need the birthday girl. Now it's 4:58, two more minutes people. We hear the keys move from the door to unlock, then we see the door open and me and Ikuto-san are in the center of the room. After the lights turn on me and Ikuto-san, or Ikuto-nii-sama, are there when the lights are on and the rest of the scream, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMU/AMU-CHAN."

She's all surprised and crying; she's hugging Ikuto and kissing him. After she hugs everyone she asks, "Who planned this?"

I smile and then I, at least try, to stand up. She comes and hugs me.

Kukai asks, "Anyone hungry?"

We all scream, "Hai!"

When we were all done eating we talked, danced a little (well, obviously not me, duh), then talked some more, and we played true or dare and other games. When we were done with one of the games, we check the time and it's 11:30.

We decided it was late so Kukai takes Utau, Nagi takes Rima, and Tadase takes Yaya home. Amu is staying at Ikuto's house.

"I'm going home now," I started, but everyone says, "NO!" It was very loud.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Damon, Syaoran, Jake, and Ryu are here. Well, none of them want me to go alone

"I'm not alone," I argued, "I have Akaira and Elena with me." Well, I know what they meant and they rolled their eyes.

It was a little funny so what they decided - you see how mean they are? I didn't even get a say in this. So THEY decided I should stay at Ikuto's too.

'I definitely need to go to that place that's worse than hell.' "Minna, I really do need to go."

They finally said that I could go, but only if they take me. I couldn't refuse so Ikuto, Amu, and I got into to his car. Jake Chara nani with Ryu and changed into Aoi Ryu and Damon changed into Kuro Tora; it took them thirty minutes and it took us one hour to get to the place.

When we got there, Amu helped me out. Jake and Damon untransformed, then they character changed. Jake had blue cat ears and tail a little lighter color than Ikuto's. Damon also had cat ears and tail but the color was black. Ikuto also character change and go his blue cat ears and tail.

Suddenly, Jake carried me bridal style. I blushed, hoping he didn't notice as I held on while he took me up to my balcony; Damon carried my wheel chair and Ikuto carried Amu bridal style. I thanked them all.

"Thank you too, Lin, for the great party," Amu replied, thanking me once more to for the party.

She seemed very tired, so I asked, "Do you want to stay…?" I trailed off as I saw that she was already asleep.

Ikuto picked her up, carried her out, and said bye.

Damon also said bye and he left with Syaoran.

My charas fell asleep.

The only ones here were Jake and Ryu, who seemed sleepy.

Hesitantly, I asked, "Do you want to stay?"

He seemed surprised, but responded, "Sure, if you don't mind of course."

I shook my head. I wanted him to stay for two reasons, one it was two thirty in the morning and the second reason was that I didn't want to be alone.

"You can sleep with me," I told him and what he did next surprised me; he kissed me on the cheek. I was blushing like five different shades of red. "Wait here, I'll be right back," I said and went into the bathroom to take the medicine for the pain in my body and something other things too.

I was about to get out, but then I saw Katherine tapping her foot. I didn't know what was going to happen. She then hit me a couple of times in the house before she took me outside and did something she hadn't done in a while and threw me against the pavement of the floor a couple of times.

I was out of my wheelchair and I got back on the chair. That was a bad idea, but how did I know she'd unlock the brake of the wheelchair and push me in the deep shallow end of the pool? There are two reasons why this was bad, one I can't swim and two, I have a cast and it's getting heavy.

Everything blacked out.
