Wow…two chapters in one day. I didn't write this in the first chapter, so I'll say it now. I don't own any of these characters except my own that I made up. This chapter will explain a little more about some things and maybe get you guys a little more interested…and write a review. (I like those!) So I'm going to quit wasting your time and mine so here's chapter two of These Are The Moments!

Chapter 2

Kira had never been more scared in her whole life. She was terrified of needles, and yet she fought gigantic monsters all them time. But she had to do this. For Eric.

For Conner. She saw the look on his face when the nurse told him that it wasn't good and that he needed blood donated right away. Who'd of thought she'd be the same blood type as Eric. It was rare and she didn't know anyone else that was the same type as her. Yet here she was, sitting in this depressing hospital room, getting blood taken out of her to save someone's life.

Maybe she was the right person for the Ranger job. She knew what now, for sure, she'd be helping people out in some way or another for the rest of her life. Ranger or not. And yet, she was still a little freaked out. That she happened to be the first person Conner called.

Maybe it was a sign. But who knew?

"Ok Kira, we're done. You need to stay put for a while. Getting up too fast may cause you to be a little woozy. I'll go get your boyfriend."

"But he's not my-," she didn't even get to finish before the blood tech left the room. She was beyond frustrated now. That was the second person within the past 30 minutes that had thought they were a couple.

She sat alone for a few minutes and pondered about the events of the night for a while before Conner walked in, his head hanging.

"Hey what's wrong?" Kira asked.

"Nothing. It's just that…well, I don't know. It just seemed weird that-"

"I had the same rare blood type as your brother?"

"Well yea."

"I was thinking that very same thing."

"Maybe it's like a sign that I was meant to call you first. So that you'd be here to give my brother a chance. Thanks," he said, on the verge of tears.

"Hey don't do that. He'll be ok! Eric's a fighter. He's like you. He's going to make it. I know it! Come here" she said as she patted the empty spot on the bed next to her.

Conner got up and joined her. He didn't know why, but he felt that being with Kira made him feel at ease. Like everything would be ok.

They sat there in silence for what seemed like a really long time before a doctor, who Conner assumed operated on Eric, came in and told them some of the best news that they could possibly have heard all night.

"Conner? I'm Dr. Bedford. Your brother's blood transfusion went well. He's doing much better now. He's in room 549. He's still asleep and he looks pretty bad. He had a severe amount of blood loss, but thanks to Kira, that's been taken care of. He also broke both of his legs. He's going to have to have a few more surgeries and a lot of rehab, but he's very lucky to be alive. From what I hear so are you? They told me that your side of the car was the one that was hit? You're a lucky man Conner. You can go up as soon as Kira here is allowed to leave," he said professionally.

"Um thanks Doc. I appreciate it. We all do," he choked out.

"You're welcome. I'll be in there periodically to make sure he's doing ok. I'll see you two later," the dr. said as he walked out of the room.

"See I told you. He's a fighter. He made it!"

Conner just sat there. Tears coming pouring from his eyes. She was right. How could he not have faith that his brother would survive. He lay in Kira's arms and cried like he'd never cried before.

As soon as Kira was able to let go, they rushed up to the 5th floor. Conner was a little reluctant at first to go in because of what the Dr. had said.

Kira saw this and had to give him a bit of a push. "It's okay Conner. I'm right behind you. Go on," she whispered gently in his ear.

Conner nodded and took a deep breath before he walked in. What he saw there made him want to walk right back out.

Eric….didn't look like Eric. He seemed so helpless and weak. That was the ONE thing that Conner had never seen him as. To him Eric had always been strong. And yet there he was. Lying on that bed, his head wrapped up, and casts on both his legs and arms. His face wasn't anything like what Eric looked like. He was mangled; cuts and ugly bruises were everywhere. Conner used everything that was in him to keep himself from crying again.

But for Kira, it was too much. She saw Eric's body and started to just cry. She didn't know why, but she did. Maybe it was because she was trying to be strong for Conner the whole night and the sight of Eric in that state just made her lose it. Maybe it was because here was someone that Conner cared so much for and he was like this. In the end she thought it was a combination of the two.

"Man, look at him Kira, he looks so helpless. Mom and Dad are going to lose it. I'm going to go call them. I'll be right back. Will you just stay with him?" he asked his eyes completely focused on her.

"Yea, I'll be right here, go on," she whispered, tears still in her face.

As Conner left the room, she went to sit in the seat next to him. She was afraid to even breathe so close to him for fear of waking him up. She sat there and for a few minutes just cried.

'This is going to be so hard for all of them. I need to be there for Conner and his family,' she kept thinking.

The next thing she knew, she had heard a groan and looked over to Eric and saw that he was awake.

"Wha- Who's there?" he asked, clearly not knowing where he was or what had happened.

"Oh my God, Eric, you're awake! It's me Kira,"

"What happened? Where am I? The last thing I remember was a car slamming into the side of me," he said, his voice quivering.

"You were in a wreck. You are in the hospital and you just got out of surgery. You've broken several bones and you're going to need extensive surgery and a lot of painful physical therapy," she said as calmly as she could without crying again.

"Thanks for telling me but I don't know who you are,"

"I'm Kira. I'm one of Conner's best friends," she said trying to remain calm.

"Sorry but who is Conner?"

"Oh no."

Sorry for the cliffhanger…and the shortness...Chapter 3 is almost done, so I'll probably post it tomorrow. Anyways hope you enjoyed!!
