A-diz: Oh wow… I really need to sort out my priorities. Either that or need some motivation, aka getting off my lazy ass. Oh! And I thought of a new word; Motication! Medicine that motivates people. You steal, I sue.

A few minutes ago my best friend fell to the floor, bleeding. A few minutes ago my best friend stopped breathing. A few minutes ago, after questioning, they wheeled Sora out of the room on a stretcher. A few minutes ago he went into surgery, again. Now here I am. Staring at the blood-covered spot where Sora was just laying.

"Wh… what the hell just happened?" somebody croaked. Sounded like Naminé, but she never swears.

Is he okay? … Is he going to be okay? I just kept staring at the spot.

"Riku!" Naminé cried, tears running down her face, "what happened?"

When I didn't answer she opened her mouth to say something else but I cut her off. "I… I don't know," I whispered.

"Bullshit!" Roxas cried, voice quivering, "I saw you guys leaving the party and Sora clutching his side,"

I shook my head and looked away from the spot. "He fucked up in the pool. He hit- his board slammed into his side and broke some of his ribs and he had a punctured lung. He had to have surgery. He was supposed to rest for a couple of weeks so we just asked the doctor if he could stay at my house for the week but still go to school, so we just went to sleep there. You called; Sora woke up and must've hurt his ribs changing his shirt or something because when he woke me up, it didn't look like he could breathe so well." I replied with my eyes closed.

"O-oh god, I should've noticed s-something! The last thing I d-did was blame everything on h-him." Hayner said with his hands in his face, crying.

I sighed and headed towards the door. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" Cloud demanded angrily. I stopped for a second and replied, "Finding out where he is now,"

"I'll come with you," Kairi said. Naminé nodded and got up too. Roxas sighed and added, "Me too,"

I nodded at them and walked out the door, headed towards the elevator. I pressed the button and soon the doors opened. I walked in with Kairi, Naminé, and Roxas following. I pressed the button for the first floor and patiently waited for the doors to close.

"Do you think he's gonna be ok?" Roxas promptly asked.

I sighed and turned around to glare at him, "I don't know, Roxas, I honestly don't," I snapped.



He looked down and stared shaking. A couple drops of water fell to the elevator floor. I sighed for the millionth time and wrapped my arms around the crying blonde. He cried into my shirt until the elevator came to a sudden halt and I pulled back slightly. "You gonna be ok?" I asked softly.

He nodded, still not looking up, and wiped his eyes.

"C'mon," I said walking out of the elevator. I walked over the receptionist and waited quietly.

"May I help you?" she asked kindly. It was a different lady this time. She had brown hair while evil bitch had blonde.

"Can you tell us what room Sora Kaze is in?" Naminé asked quietly.

"Are you relatives?" she asked typing something on the computer. My eyes widened. Crap, I hadn't thought of that.

"I'm his brother," Roxas lied. I shot an appreciative look over at the short blond.

She looked at the computer for a second and looked at me. "He's currently in surgery. If you want to wait for when he gets out, you can wait over there," she said pointing to the lobby area. "And the cafeteria is up stairs if you guys are hungry." she added.

I nodded and walked over the lobby and took a seat in one of the chairs. Kairi sat to my left and Naminé to my right with Roxas on the other side of her.

I sighed and rested my head on my hand. These chairs were very uncomfortable. I just noticed something… I talk to myself.

"Hahahaha!" I was snapped out of my thoughts abruptly by a certain red-headed girl who was currently laughing hysterically. "Hey Riku, remember that time we dared Sora to dress like a hooker and walk around downtown?" Naminé started giggling and I let out a chuckle.

"Yeah, and he got arrested and had to spend the night in jail with a tube top, short skirt, and some old go-go boots?" The three of us burst out into full-blown laughter.

Roxas had a very disturbed look on his face. "He… really did that?" Kairi nodded. "Sora always did the stupidest things to make us laugh."

Kairi started laughing again. "Remember when we we're thirteen and we dared Sora to tell a random old lady that she looked very hot and he felt like 'getting lucky tonight'?"

Naminé nodded, "I've never seen an old person so mad before. That's why Sora hates canes now."

I was laughing hysterically now. "And- and then h-he found out t-that it was his own grandmother!"

Kairi and Naminé were laughing so hard they were crying and Roxas was trying to muffle his laughs. Soon the laughter died down and there was an awkward silence.

"I'm hungry." Naminé randomly declared. I blinked and Kairi fell out of her chair laughing. Roxas looked at the girl on the floor cautiously. "Are… you ok?" he hesitantly asked.

"That was just so random!" she cried out holding her stomach.

"Well, bimbo red-heads aside, let's go get some food. I'm hungry too." I stood up stretching. Kairi abruptly stopped laughing and glared at me. "Hey that was mean!" she pouted. I smirked, leaned down and ruffled her hair. "But you know it's true, shorty."

She gasped and stood up to her full height of five three. "Just because you're like, seven five, doesn't mean that the rest of us are short!" she exclaimed poking me in the chest.

I brushed her finger off my chest and snorted. "Kairi, I'm only six three. Besides, Sora is six one and you never complain to him!"

"Yeah but he never teases us about our height!" she argued.

"Buts that's only because last year he was five six." Naminé noted.

I blinked, realizing how much Sora had grown over the past year. Roxas whistled. "Damn, that was one hell of a growth spurt."

"Did Sora… take steroids or something?" Kairi asked finally being serious.

"I think he just drank a lot of milk…" I guessed.

"But wasn't he lactose intolerant?"

"Yeah, for a little while after the milk chug in sixth grade but after that he was fine."

"Oh yeah! Do you remember how pissed his mom got when she saw milk and puke in her back yard?"

"That was nasty," Naminé replied laughing.

"You guys did the stupidest things," Roxas sighed shaking his head.

"I think Sora rubbed off on us… can we get food now? I'm really freaking hungry." Kairi whined.

"Yeah c'mon," I stretched and stood up. Naminé and Kairi got up but Roxas just sat there.

"I'll wait here," he said. I shook my head, "No you won't," I said pulling him up. "What are you like, sixty pounds? You need meat on your bones boy."

"I weigh one ten," he mumbled crossing his arms. I nodded, "And I weigh one seventy, now c'mon." I dragged him to the stairs.

We had a race up the stairs, laughing when others tripped or someone from the hospital glared at us. I got to the top first and put my fist in the air triumphantly. I turned around and nearly busted a gut when I saw Kairi dramatically slip and tumble in to Roxas and Naminé.

I started laughing even harder when I noticed they crashed into a random person on the way down and they weren't happy.

Kairi almost automatically jumped up and starting apologizing like crazy. Roxas groaned and stood up slowly. "Woah," he breathed out when he noticed who they had brought down with them. Naminé nodded and stood up. Kairi had a thoughtful look on her face. "Hm… ah that's it! Ven!"

No. No God why!?

Ven smiled and stood up. "Hey Kairi, long time no see." He looked up to where I was and I ducked behind the rail. "Was that Riku I heard laughing?"

"Shit!" I swore.

I heard him sigh exasperatedly. "No use in hiding Riku. I know you're up there.

"No I'm not!"

Kairi laughed nervously and turned to the blonde. "So why are you at the hospital?"

"Oh! Terra got in an accident and I was gonna visit him but first-"

"Did he die!?" I asked excitedly popping up over the railing.

He rolled his eyes. "No you retard. He's still alive and recovering fine."

Kairi nodded, "That's good. So what were you saying?"

"Before I got rudely interrupted?" he glared at me and I shrank back down behind the rail. "I was gonna get something to eat."

Naminé smiled. "We were gonna do the same. You're welcome to join if you'd like."

Ven nodded. "Thank you. I guess it'd be a good time to figure out how you guys are doing and who my lookalike is eh?"

Kairi smiled brightly. "C'mon!"

I started laughing again. "Be sure not to trip again bimbo!" I called down to her.

She growled. "Riku Adam Bennington when I get my hands on you!"

Roxas stopped and blinked. "Bennington?" everybody else had stopped except Kairi at the mentioning of my last name.

"Kairi!" I whined. "That was confidential information you just gave out! Now I guess I'm gonna have to call you bimbo from now on." I smirked evilly.

She stopped and gasped. "You wouldn't."

"I'm pretty sure I would."

"Rikuuuuu! I'm sorry!"

"Hm.. in that case…" she looked up at me hopefully. I smirked. "No."

She growled and lunged at me. I grabbed onto her and locked into a tight hug. "Aw you know you love me Kairi."

She blushed and struggled. "Let me go you over grown prick!"

I smiled and kissed her head. "Nuuupe."

"Ahem." I turned to see Roxas and Ven crossing their arms and rolling their eyes and Naminé giggling softly. I blinked. Wow those to really look alike.

"Need something?"

"Yes, food."

"Oh… oh God now that I think about it we do!" I cried dramatically running into the cafeteria. I heard the others sigh as they followed me.

I almost fell to the ground in despair at a sudden thought. I could hear Ven sigh angrily. "What now, Bennington?"

I stood up and glared; all thoughts on food gone. "Do you want me to smother Terra with a pillow?"

He rolled his eyes. "What was wrong Riku?" Naminé asked. I fell to the floor again. "This costs money!" I cried dramatically.

Roxas blinked. "Uh yeah. It does. Duh."

Kairi rolled her eyes. "I will give you your credit card back. Once."

Ven burst out laughing. "Sh-she still has that?" he cried clutching his stomach. "You are whipped man. Whipped!"

I turned to Roxas and Naminé. "Do any of you guys happen to have a pillow?" Ven shut up pretty damn quickly.

Roxas raised his hand hesitantly. "Um… one question. Why does Kairi have your credit card?"

I blushed, looked down, and mumbled something.

"Um what?"

"Riku over spends." Kairi told the blonde.

"No I don't!" I cut in. "I just spend more than I should, I mean I have the money it's just I abuse it."

Roxas blinked. "Isn't that kinda girly?"

"Coming from a boy that has curves."

--

Ven blinked. "So let me get this straight, Sora and Tidus are in the hospital, and Sora might die, correct?"

Riku nodded solemly. Ven snorted. "What the hell are you guys moping about? I've seen Sora's heart stop so many freakin' times before and he's still alive today isn't he?"

Roxas' head snapped up in surprise. "You mean he's died before?"

Ven nodded. "A couple of times."

"Care to share the stories?"

"I've got time."
