Chapter 7 - Dream a little dream of me

Kaoru woke up that morning with a weird feeling in his stomach. He had just woken up from a dream about, none other than, Kaylie. He felt weird about it. And it felt creepy. Was he so obsessed with this girl that he proceeded to having dreams about her? No! He only talks to her at school. But this past week had been pretty active with her. But he was not obsessed! Sure, he thought about her, wanted to be around her, he at least tried not to talk about her all the time but he couldn't help it. He liked everything about her. And she seems to have softened from when he met her. When he first met her, she was quick and sharp tongued but now, she was nice some of the time, she had gotten prettier since she changed her hair color and started wearing less make up. And he liked the way she looked-- 'Wait, no! You can't be doing this! Stop it!' He thought to himself, shaking his head.

"Will you stop acting like an idiot and get ready for school?" Hikaru said

"I don't wanna go!"

"C'mon, it's the last day of the week. Then you can day dream about your little girlfriend all you want."

"Jealous? Wait! She's not my girlfriend!"

"Uh-huh. Just get ready for school."

When they got to school, Kaoru went off to sit with Kaylie.

"Hey Kaoru. You're late mister." She greeted

"I had a dream about you last night." He said all too loudly

"Oh, that's romantic." She said sarcastically

"I...."

"Didn't mean to tell me that? Yeah, I kind of got that. You turned red as a tomato."

"Yeah."

"I forgive you. So, what was it about?" She asked, obviously teasing him.

"Are Kaylie and Kauri here?" Someone asked, sounding frantic.

"Yes, coming." She said, curiously. After about five minutes, she came back to the table and started gathering her books looking really serious, sickly almost. Kauri was doing the same.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kaoru asked

"My dad....Is in America on a business trip....And he....Had a heart attack." She said, her voice breaking.

"Oh my-- Is he okay?"

"I don't know. He's in the hospital." She answered, sniffling. "I have to go to America. I don't know how long I'll be there."

"I'll call you. You know, to see how he's doing."

"I appreciate it. Tell the club please."

"Of course. I hope everything's okay." He said concerned.

"I guess I'll see you whenever I get back.."

"Alright, yeah." He said "I'll miss you." He added quietly. Kaylie walked out of the room followed by Kauri who was already crying.

"Kauri, it's okay, he'll be okay. He's in the hospital. Mom would call if something were wrong." Kaylie said, struggling to hide the tears. While they were making their way to the entrance of the school, the bells rang so classes were let out and it seemed like when they tried to speed up the slowest of the slow people got in front of them. Then Kaylie bumped into Tamaki.

"Sorry princ-- oh, hey Kaylie. What's wrong?"

"My dad's in the hospital. He was on a business trip, so we have to fly to America."

"I hope he's alright!" He exclaimed

"Me too. Tell Kyoya we won't make it to the club today. I don't know how long we'll be there."

"Okay. I know this'll sound...Out there but why don't you take my family's jet to America?"

"Are you sure? That's quite a--" Kauri started

"Thank you. Who should we see to get to where it is?" Kaylie quickly interrupted

"I'll call the airport. You just get yourselves to the airport!" He said, determined. Then dialed someone on his phone saying that there were people who were going to use the jet.

When the girls got home they immediately started packing taking about a months worth of clothes in a couple suit cases each and headed out to the airport. Their mom was already gone they assumed since she wasn't at home. When they got to the airport, a nicely dressed woman was holding a sign with their names on it, they walked over to her and she greeted them saying their jet was waiting and she'd be their hostess blah blah blah.

When they landed, they were exhausted, they were hungry, and they just wanted to sleep. Their mom picked them up in the airport and took them back over to the hospital.

"Well?" They asked

"Well what?"

"How is he?" Kaylie hollered.

"Oh! He's stable. They said if he remained stable he'd be out in a week."

"That's good." Kauri said.

When they reached the hospital, they immediatly went to their father's room.

"Hi girls." He said, sounding tired.

"Hi dad. How are you feeling?" Kauri asked, taking his hand.

"Hi. What were you doing to yourself? You have to take it easier." Kaylie said, taking his other hand.

"I didn't feel stressed out. It just kind of hit me."

"Girls, your father is very tired. He refused to sleep until you got here so I'm thinking he'll need some rest." A doctor said, coming in to check on him.

"Yes sir." Kauri said, pushing Kaylie out the door.

They went over to stay at the girl's and also their parent's very good friend's family's house for the time being.

"I just can't believe this is happening." Kaylie said

"Just try not to worry about it." Kauri tried to console her.

"How can I?"

A few days later, Kaylie and Kauri were sitting in the hospital waiting room waiting to go in and see their father after his bath.

"Kaylie,"

"Kauri." Two voices said, walking into the hospital.
