Hi everyone..I want to thank the ones who gave me time to heal..I really appreciated all of the well wishes!!
And...Here is the Next Chapter!!
Miami Emergency Hospital
Inside the Waiting Room
7:13 p.m.
Renae, Tiffany and Sarah sat in the waiting room next to the window show the setting sun. All three girls where either nimbling on their bottom lips, biting the fingernails or drumming their fingers against the armrest waiting on any news about Kim's condition
" Renae who did you manage to get in touch with." Sarah asks
" Trini Kwan..that was the number I flipped to...so I dialed it and she picked up and I told her about Kim..and she told me that she was on her way..let's see it was probably close to nine am their time..to be honest though I wasn't really looking at the time..I just wanted to get a hold of someone and let them know what went down earlier today..but they should be here sometime tomorrow morning..and when she arrived I'm not leaving this hospital." Renae exclaims
"And if you think we are." Tiffany retorted
" Guess again my friend." Sarah adds
Renae smirked at them and shook her head.." Look why don't we go downstairs to the cafeteria and get some real food instead of sitting here and biting on our fingernails and nibbling on our lips." Renae suggested
Tiffany and Sarah instantly gave their consent and the three of them stood up and headed straight towards the elevators
Across from the hospital
Miami's Sunnydale Apartments
7:16 p.m.
A male figure was pacing back and forth across his floor before coming to a stop and looking out his window at the hospital and whispered.." I'm coming." and with that the male figure grabbed his keys and left out the door and walked along the brick pathway
Aisha waited until the taxi came to a complete stop and digging into her pocket and handing him her cab fair then grabbed her bag and got out of the cab closing the door behind her and taking a deep breath before turning around
" Uh..I think we should go inside together.." a male voice insisted from behind
Aisha turned around and let her bag drop to the ground before surging forward and wrapping her arms around the male's neck.."Oh my god..Billy."
Billy hugged Aisha back.." hey Aisha..it's good to see you again."
" You to Billy." Aisha said as she relinquished her hold on his neck and stood back.." What are you doing here..or should I have just kept that to myself."
Billy shrugged his shoulder to the question.." Aisha..I've been living here for almost a year me and Kim have been talking and visiting one another when the chance comes..and I haven't gotten a call from her yet..and I've gotten this feeling that is leading me here..and you are here..so it must have to deal with Kim."
" It does..she fell off the beam..and it's much more worser than the last time." Aisha revealed
Billy's complexion drained as he snatched up Aisha's bag and took her hand in his and tugged her towards the entrance
Aisha managed to keep her balance as the two of them stopped in front of the desk
" Kimberly Hart." Billy panted out
The receptionist looked at her screen.." She's still in surgery..you two can have a seat over there in the waiting room..and the doctor will be informed as soon as he comes out."
" Thanks." Aisha said as she picked up a pen and signed her name on the clipboard and handed the pen to Billy who signed in his name and the time then followed behind Aisha as they made their way into the waiting room and sat down in the back of the room.." What else have you been up to Billy."
" Uh..if you can't find it hard to believe that I was turned into my elderly life form thanks to a combustible shock of energy..traveled to an distant planet and got cured..and I have no after effects which is good..so I can live out my life the way I was supposed to..and what about you how was Africa."
" Everything is looking up..I discovered and learned alot and I also got up and close with very protective animals..I found a lonly lion cub wandering near the village..and my first instinct was to protect our inhabitants..and somehow give the cub back to his mother..but the baby cub was abandoned and I soon found me a loyal companion in Togi..I raised him as best as I could..he bonded with the tribe and they took care of him..one day I would never ever forget it was the day that I went to check on this hole that I discovered and I lost my footing and I fell into the hole..I must've been down there a long time cause I soon started to drift off..but then I felt a rock hit me in the head..Togi tracked me down and wouldn't leave..I had my satchel with me and tossed it up and he nudged it back down..I threw it back up again and then it never came back down..he took my satchel to the tribe and no sooner then that I was in a good dream when I felt my satchel hit me in the head and I heard my ancestors calling my name..they got me out of the hole and Togi jumped me and licked me in the face..and from that day on he wouldn't let me move a inch without him by my side..I miss my guardian angel." Aisha revealed
Billy smiled at her.." Africa must've done good then..cause back in the states a major shock happened within our group."
" What kind of shock.." Aisha implied
" Rocky nor Adam wrote to you about what happened between Kimberly and Tommy?" Billy questions
Aisha shook her head no.." I have received nothing from them saying anything involving Kim and Tommy..just greetings and holiday cards etc..what went down."
" Apparently Kim sent a letter to Tommy about her finding a guy with whom she could spend the rest of her life with..I was there..so was Rocky, Adam, Tommy, Tanya and Kat..I held into what I really wanted to say..but I know for a fact that if Kim was that kind of person to end a three year courtship with a man who did all and everything for had her then she must have been losing a grip on reality." Billy stated
Aisha held her hand to her chest while her eyes were wide as they could go.." You are joking right."
Billy shook his head no
" Kimberly is not that crazy..that girl loved and adored him and vice versa..anyone could tell that he had eyes only for her and she had eyes for him..I could tell that the moment we met."
" I know Aisha..I grew up with her..and after standing by and witnessing what went down between her parents and how that affected her mentally..Kim knew that any sort of relationship she got involved with she would give it her all no matter what..so when that letter came to the youth center..my mind was reeling from the arrival and my
mind instantly drew blank..so on the low I kept in contact with her..she told me that the room she and her roommates share was ransacked when they decided to go out on day off..so when they went to Coach Schmidt..he told them he'll get to the bottom of it..and when they cleaned up the room Kim noticed that her stuff was missing..her stationary and address book..She had eventually found her phone book..but she never tried to call him after finding out from Ernie that Kat and me took Tommy skiing a day after the letter came..and when she told me that I knew that she never called again and Tommy never questioned her about sending the letter." Billy reveals
Aisha took a deep breath and let it out.." So let me get this straight..Tommy thought that Kim sent him a dismissal letter and never did he once ask for answers and Kim gave up trying to tell him the truth..and they both are clueless souls to even think that one Kim can be that cruel."
" His face was a mixture of emotions..I could barely read them all the only one I got to see what the look of sadness..he let Adam read the start of the letter."
Aisha's face went into a gawked expression.." Adam read the letter."
" Yeah..Tommy was benchpressing when Ernie came over with letter..Tommy told Adam to read it..and after a few words he paused and gestured to Tommy to finish reading the letter in private after he mentioned that Kim said something about good and bad..but Tommy took the paper from him and finished reading it out loud before refolding it then reaching down and picking up his bag and standing up turning to face us before reassuring us that he was fine then he turned and left..I looked at Adam and Rocky they went over to the table and sat down, Tanya and Kat shared a few looks but nothing more cause Tanya went over to the guys..while I turned and started to head outside..Kat followed and we found him walking along the lake..Kat said that she was gonna go see if he was alright and I stayed back..trying to figure out what the hell was going on..but Kat came back and she told me that she had no luck..so out of the blue..I suggested that we take a trip..so the three of us went skiing." Billy said
Aisha quirked an eyebrow..." And what happened after the skiing trip."
Billy made eye contact with Aisha.." Kat sat up a dinner date with the professional skier named Heather Thompson..it didn't work out and at the end of the ruined date..Kat and Tommy shared a dance."
Aisha sat back against the seat and 'tsskkk' her tongue against her teeth.." So back to what you were saying not that long ago..did they Gunther ever find out who was the ones responsible for ransacking Kim's room."
" Nope..but if and when they do..whomever it is will get what's coming to them." Billy said
" Yes they will..they have caused alot of hurt and resentment to all that is involved." Aisha inputs with a determined glaze in her eyes
" I bet Kim will be happy that you are here." Billy offered
" I hope so..but It would've been so much better if this meeting was not held here and not while she's in some emergency room." Aisha pointed out
" Me to..deja vu all over again..but way different then the last accident." Billy added
Outside the room
Renae, Tiffany and Sarah stepped off the elevator with a bag of ships in each of their possession and a can soda inside the pockets as they made their way back across the lobby.." I really hate this..all of the waiting is wearing thin on my nerves," Renae commented
" I wish I could crawl into my bed and fall asleep knowing that the four of us was there..but I don't know if I can even think about sleeping." Tiffany exclaimed
" I just hope that someone comes and tells us something soon." Sarah mumbled as the three of them entered the room
Billy and Aisha looked when they heard female voices coming inside the room.." Are you three Kimbely's roommates." Billy asked
" Yes we are." Tiffany said
" By the way who are you." Renae inquired as she looked at Billy
" And you." Sarah implied towards Aisha
" I'm Billy..one of Kim's childhood friends..I've been living here in Florida..I've also know that you three have been pestering her about me..so as to clear up what you three were assuming a while back..I'm not a ex-boyfriend nor have I ever been..just a close confidant." Billy reveals
" My name is Aisha..I was living in Africa and I arrived earlier so I went to the compound to see Kim..but the secretary informed me of her fall so I came here and met him outside the entrance." Aisha replied
" Nice to meet you two..My name is Sarah, this is Tiffany and that's Renae." Sarah introduced
" So this Trini person that I called before the paramedics came said that she was coming." Renae informs
Billy glanced down after hearing that Trini is coming very aware that he had four sets of eyes on him.." Um..w-what did she say."
" She screamed "WHAT" in my ear but that was expected but then a male voice got on the phone and asked me " what's going on" so I told him what happened and he reconfirmed that he and Trini was on their way..and the phone call ended..my guess is that he had to try and catch up with Trini." Renae reveals
Aisha and Billy glanced at one another.." That might've been Zack." Billy says as Aisha nodded in agreement.." They'll definitely be here sometime tomorrow morning are early afternoon."
" Where is Coach Schmidt..is he here?" Aisha questions
Kim's roommates rolled their eyes collectively at the mention of their former Coach.." His ass was not that concerned about Kim's condition." Tiffany stated
" He made no quick judgement calls or actions to see if Kim would wake up or move anything." Sarah added
" He was more worried about his gymnasts getting back to what they was working on..and alot more..but bottom line we walked out on him." Renae reported
" I can't believe he would do that..people do change and some not for the better..cause when Kim fell the first time..he didn't act like that he was worried and apologetic." Billy says
" He was very concerned the first time." Aisha implied
" Well that was then..what he pulled today was totally the opposite..he proved to us that a real coach would cancel for today..a real coach would do anything if a gymnast was injured..but today he's not a coach..and not even worth discussing." Sarah replies
" Where are all of you gonna stay if your not gonna train under him." Billy wonderd
" My parent's beach house for now." Tiffany informed
" When are you three planning to get the rest of your stuff cause I'll go with you so I can pack Kim's stuff." Aisha injected
" Well we could go now..cause it will distract us for the time being." Renae suggested
" I have no objection to that." Aisha added
" Me and Sarah can take my car." Tiffany applied
" Aisha you'll ride with me in my car." Renae replies
" Ok..let's go..Billy we'll be back as soon as possible." Aisha insisted
Billy shared a look with Aisha who mouthed 'Hey your the one who made them' Billy shook his head.." Alright."
" See you in a few." Aisha said as she, Tiffany, Renae and Sarah left out the room
Billy closed his eyes as he brought his hands together..' Kimberly please don't leave us fight for me, fight for Aisha and Trini and most importantly fight for yourself..I couldn't deal with the letter situation like I wanted to and if you were to let go and give up..none of us that has got the chance to know you would be able to get Tommy out of his fave hobby..so please fight and remember who else it watching over you' Billy silently prayed to himself as he reopened his eyes and glanced out the window
As the four girls were leaving out the entrance Sarah decided to ask Aisha a question.." Um Aisha."
" Yeah."
" Did Billy tell you about Kim's issue with her ex."
" Yeah he told me not that long ago." Aisha replied
" You said that you were in Africa..didn't any of your friends inform you or at least try to fill you in." Sarah wondered as they made their way pass the gate
" Nope..two of my childhood friends didn't bother to let me in on the fact that they "broke up"..all they did was hide it from me." Aisha explains..' I guess that when a person leaves the circle they get cut out of that inner circle'
" Alright..but let me tell you that from the moment Kim found out that her ex was apparently moving on quite quickly with Katherine..she broke down and confessed to us a bunch of why's..we did our best to get her pass that phase..cause eventually Tommy never called or showed up wanting to know the truth." Sarah revealed
" That's a million dollar question..Why Tommy never seeked out the truth from the girl he'd supposedly loved with all his heart." Tiffany injects
" Yes it is the Million dollar question Tiffany..when I first met Kim,Tommy and Billy..me and my two friends were all chasing after a runaway stroller that had an old teacher of ours son..somehow me and Kim were able to reach it before it rolled over the cliff and Kim reached in and picked up the toddler Tommy and Billy came to a stop I looked behind me to see Adam and Rocky standing behind me so we started to talk with them while we waited for his father to catch up with us I looked at Tommy who was looking over the toddler who was nestled in Kim's arms he looked at her adoringly..and I can see it in his eyes that Kim would make a good mother in the future probably to their kids in the future..but at this moment in time..Tommy lost some valuable points with the way he walked away from their now defunked relationship thanks to someone's interference..I just wish I can find who decided to get involved in something that didn't even concern them." Aisha muttered
" That's not gonna be an easy task Aisha." Renae says
" Why..cause I know a real sure way to make someone crumble..I have my ways..they haven't met a real task sargeant like me and they don't want to trust me." Aisha implied
" And just by hearing those words coming from your mouth makes me glad that you are on our side..they won't know what to expect from you..they already know me and the girls operate." Sarah commented as they neared their vehicles
" I for one can't wait to let loose some pent up aggression." Renae states as she unlocked her door and slipped into the driver's seat then she lifted the latch that unlocked the passenger's door and waited until Aisha got in and buckled her seatbelt and Renae did the same then she inserted the key into the ignition
Sarah and Tiffany did the same before backing out of the parking space and moving forward enough so that Renae could back out of the parking space and lead the way back to the compound
