Author's Note: I realize by putting the review answers up here I'm spoiling the chapters for new readers. I'd find that annoying as hell so I'll fix it when the chapters load like a good author.

I'm awake again, wonderful feeling. I have to get up and use the shower later, while I still have the room.
"Mister Valkov," the door opens behind me and I look at the doctor. He smiles politely at me and walk inside the room. I turn off the TV and wait for him to speak. "Have you decided about the operation?" He says and I look down at my hands. I hadn't given that any thought since last time they asked.
"Your body is slowly starting to give up, if you do not go through with the operation you will die," I refuse to look at the doctor. It's a cruel reality that I doomed myself.
"Everyone dies one day," I respond and finally look up at him.
"With your condition that one day might be the end of this week mister Valkov," I look away again. "You should reconsider your decision before it is too late. There has to be something you want to live for," no. Not really. Get that you fucking idiot? Leave my sight before I throw the new remote on you, fucking bastard!
He walks out from the room after some minutes, maybe he got the point from my intense glare? Anyway, I have to do something to distract my mind. Right, TV.
A nurse gave me a new remote, seeing as Bryan broke the last one, so I turn the TV on. Maybe there will be something good this time?
"The weather i-"
Click.
"See how graceful she is as she spread out her wings and fly for t-"
Click.
"We just received news that a crazy red-haired man with a blue bandana is chasing two men across the park."
Click.
Wait a minute, that seemed fun. Let's watch it.
Click.
"The hunt began at the Seintdown Hospital in town and has been going on for only a few minutes. Both the man who are chasing and the two men being chased are former professional bladers but this doesn't look like an exercise to me."
Say what?
"Hold on, we seem to be having something new on the situation. It appears that the two men being chased are Max Tate and Oliver Polanski. The man chasing them is Johnny McGregor!"
… Come again?
"And wait, a new man just caught up with Johnny. I think it's Enrique Tornatore! And behind him .. Well can you believe this people? Tyson Granger!"
.. My mind.. is out of words... what the fuck is going on?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rei~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh my.. Shit. That's light. Adjust, adjust. Take your time. Then slowly open your eyes. Then try to find out who the intruder in my room is.
Wait, I smell something wonderful again. I think it's a mix of cream, ice cream and other yummi stuff. I want it!
I open my eyes, it's very bright in here. Someone pulled the curtains away, I actually like it. I can see the sun now.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up," I look at the intruder. He's not so tall, has green hair and a brown jacket on. Not another one of these weird guys, I can't take it.
"Would you like me to close the curtains again so you can go back to sleep?" Well, that's new. Someone actually asked me what I want, I'm honored. But I'm also wide awake.
"No, that's fine. Who are you?" He's still standing by the window but walk closer and smile at me.
"I'm Oliver Polanski, it's a pleasure to met you," wait. I didn't know this guy before or what?
"I didn't know you before?" I ask and eye him suspiciously. He laughs and nods.
"You did, but because you don't remember me I thought I would start over," he explains with that smile on his face. This guy has a brain to the difference from the other idiots I've been meeting. I'm cranky, I must be hungry.
"You smell like.. something," damn I don't know the word for it! Oliver looks surprised for a moment before he lights up again.
"Pastry or pancakes maybe?" He suggests. I didn't get that word tho.
"Past eri?" He smiles and seem to be thinking for a moment. I'm glad he didn't laugh at my confusion.
"Pastry. For example milk, ice cream and so. I'm a chef so I cook a lot," that explains why I get hungrier every second. "When the doctor allows you to eat normal food I'll cook for you!" He sounds so excited saying that. I had normal friends? Who could have known?
"I can eat normal food now. If you count the hospital food as normal," I mutter the last part and he laughs a little. Then he sits down, it took a while. I guess he wasn't sure if I wanted him here.
"How are you feeling? I heard you can't walk yet," no not that boring subject! Well, I guess he wants to be nice. But still!
"Tired. Lonely. And I hate Kai," just to point that out clear. So everyone knows.
"Well, that can't be helped. He's a difficult person to be friends with, but you should give it some time," not that crap talk again. "Maybe you'll accept him later, but if you don't that's okay too," he smile again and give me a thumbs up. I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say he's friends with that blonde guy Max.
"Everyone is telling me that I don't actually hate Kai or I don't mean that about Tyson and other stuff," I say and smile a little. "I feel so lonely and these people who were my friends are fighting with each other over my head. It's not a great comfort," then there is that wife thing that I don't get. How could I love someone like her? She made me hate pink. Not that I liked it before but if someone can make you want to ban a color from the country you live in I think that person isn't right for you. But that could just be me.
"You have all these people around you that say they're there for you but they just want to be friends with the picture perfect you," Oliver says with a heavy sigh. He must be going through the same thing. I feel like I should comfort him but I have no idea how. "I don't mean my problems are as big as yours!" He quickly defend himself.
I try to think before opening my mouth so I don't say something wrong.
"Comparing your problems to mine is stupid. You can't know how I feel about this but at the same time I have no idea how you feel at the moment," I hope that came out right.
"You're smart," he smiles again. This time it's a warm smile. I made someone feel better, that makes me happy.
"Thanks," I yawn. Can I really be tired already? I don't want to sleep already.
"What would you like for me to cook for you?" Oliver ask with a smile and I try to think of food I like.
"Pancakes," with cream. Ice cream. Cream. Fluffiness.

Thud.
I hate my life.
Thud.
I hate my life.
Thud.
I hate my life.
Thud.
"Mister Tate, you should stop hitting your head against the wall it can cause brain damage," a nurse warns me. I smile at her.
"Oh, thank you," I respond and turn back to the wall.
Baam!
I hate my life.
Baam!
I hate my life.
Baam!
"Max! Stop doing that or the nurse will give you your own room!" Oliver pushes me away from the wall and points towards the cafeteria.
"Rei is asleep so we should eat something," oh right. Food. I don't want food. I want a new life. Could I order that?
"Sit down here," Oliver says and pull out a chair for me. I sit down. How could this happen? Oh wait, is this a table?
Baam!
I hate my life.
Baam!
"What are you doing Max!" Hilary's voice echo in my head. I turn to look at her. She sits down beside me very slowly.
"What happened?" She place one arm on my shoulder and has a concerned look on her face. What happened? Let's start over.
"It started with a Christmas party. A fun Christmas party. Or no, long before that. But during Christmas Rei had his accident and everyone treated him as if he was dead! You know the only two people who actually spent some time here are me and Tala! Tala spent more time here than Kai ever did! And he was all alone, just like me. But he did his best not trying to commit suicide again because then I would be all alone completely alone. And now Rei woke up and Kai is twisting his mind like puppet master! Everyone expects me to me cheerful Max and I just can't do it anymore with people dying everywhere I turn. I just can't.."
Baam!
My head hits the table again. I'm so tired.
"Max, what are you talking about? No one is dead," Hilary pets my head carefully. I turn to look at her.
"I was just visiting Tala," I don't know if I should laugh or just die on the spot.
"How is he?" She asks me with a sweet smile. My throat is dry and hurts. I'm not at my breaking point anymore. I'm passed that.
"Max! What's the meaning of letting Enrique pick us up?" Tyson suddenly shows up from nowhere.
"Tyson don't yell at him! He's not feeling well!" Hilary stands up to act like a wall between me and Tyson. One must admire her spirit! Speaking of spirit, I need a drink.
"Don't yell in the hospital Granger," Kai? Do people just appear out of thin air in this hospital?
I get up from my seat and can see Oliver slowly walking towards me. He doesn't want to attract attention. I completely understand him.
"Oliver, I need to ask you for a major favor," I speak low. The whole group is fighting right next to us. Except for Brooklyn that's ordering something to eat in the cafeteria.
"Sure, anything," Oliver responds and I back slowly towards the exit with a strong grip on Oliver's wrist.
"Could you kill me?" I ask him. Only a few steps away from the exit door! Wait, who's that on the outside? Oh no. Please no. I'll do anything just don't let it be who I think it is.
The door opens before us and Johnny is standing there with Robert. This isn't happening.
"Oliver?" Johnny's hate in that name is heard by the others. They turn around and I feel like I'm in the middle of something.
"Oliver..." I whisper. He's trembling.
"Y-yes?" I look from Tyson to Robert and then to Johnny. I tighten my grip around Oliver's wrist to make sure I don't loose him.
"If you stop running, I'm draging you behind me, got it?" I don't give him time enough to even understand what I said before I start running. Luckily he's still well-trained and a quick thinker so he understands that I plan to just run. I'm not really fast but when my life depends on it I can run faster than Rei.
"Where the hell are you going?" Johnny tries to catch Oliver from me. Like I'll let that happen!
I don't now how I succeed but somehow I force Oliver my way so Johnny can't catch him. Then we both run like crazy to get away from everyone that could want anything to do with us.
KaiHiwRayKon: I'm glad people find it funny because I laugh myself at some points because I think I'm funny

RiyuM: Tala is stupid. I'm sorry
