-With the Kamiya's-
"Everybody wake up," Tai's mom said as she called everybody's rooms on the phone, "Visitation hours start in an hour, lets see if you can get ready by then."
-Tai, Matt, Davis, and Ken's room-
"Davis wake up!" Ken shouted struggling to walk him up.
"Another 10 minutes mom," Davis mumbled rolling over.
"Here let me try," Matt said as he picked up a cup of ice cold water and threw on Davis's head.
"Holy Shit! I'm up, I'm up." Davis yelled as he ran around the room.
"Hurry up we only have 45 minutes to get ready now." Tai said as he changed clothes.
-Kari, Mimi, Yolie, and Sora's room-
"Mimi Hurry up." Sora muttered.
"I have to do my hair," Mimi whined.
"It looks fine," Kari said.
"Are you kidding me!"
"We only have a half hour before we need to meet in the lobby now hurry up." Sora said.
"Don't rush her it only makes matters worse." Yolie said.
"Yeah but I still need to get ready!" Sora announced.
"I'm hurrying!" Mimi said from the bathroom.
-Joe, Cody, T.K and Izzy's room-
"I can't find my hat!" T.K announced.
"Do you really need it?" Izzy muttered.
"Yes!"
"Well we have 15 minutes to search for it." Joe said.
"Found it." Cody mumbled
"We have to find it!" T.K shouted not hearing him.
"I said I found it!" Cody said louder.
"Hey Cody you found it, thanks." T.K said smiling.
"Can we get ready now?" Izzy asked.
"Hehe sure," T.K laughed.
-The lobby-
Surprisingly everyone got to the lobby on time. Well not everybody, Mrs. Kamiya wasn't there yet. Everyone sat down and talked about how their morning went. When Izzy told them how T.K couldn't find his hat, Matt shook his head. They all rolled their eyes when Sora told them Mimi wouldn't get out of the bathroom, and everyone laughed, except Davis, when Matt said that he threw cold water on Davis to wake him up. Even with everyone laughing, they were all still nervous. What kind of condition was Jesse in? Is she awake or not? Mrs. Kamiya finally arrived and their questions were about to be answered as they left the hotel and went to the hospital.
-With the Toki family-
Tom, Elizabeth and Max all sat in the car.
"So, Jesse's other family is coming?" Max asked.
"I'm not sure, but I believe so." Tom answered.
"I hope they don't, I don't wanna meet them." Max announced.
"Max!" Elizabeth said surprised.
"What? They're the reason Jesse's like this." Max muttered.
"Max, you behave yourself today if they come, you understand." Elizabeth commanded sternly.
"Yes mom," Max whispered, 'But I still don't like them.' he thought.
-Kamiya family-
They all got out of the car and entered the hospital. Since they didn't know what room Jesse was in and the lady at the front desk wasn't there, they had to wait for Tom and his family to get there.
"Hey Kari, Can you believe we're going to see Dad again?" Tai whispered.
"I know." Kari whispered back, "Do you think we'll be able to recognize him?"
Tai just shrugged. He really couldn't answer. He looked up when he heard the front doors open and a man, woman, and young boy walk in.
"Hello Tom," Sonia said politely.
"Sonia," He acknowledged before turning to the kids, "Tai, Kari its great to see you again."
"Hi," They both said. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes, nobody knew what to say.
"Oh this is my wife, Elizabeth, and my stepson Max, he's twelve." Tom told them.
"These are our friends from Japan. Their names are Matt, T.K, Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy, Cody, Yolie, Ken, and Davis," Tai said pointing to them as he named them.
"Well I'm sure Jesse would love to meet them. If you follow me, I'll show you to her room." Tom said walking with Elizabeth behind him. Max started to walk in front of the group but not before giving them an evil glare.
"I don't think he likes us," Kari muttered.
The others shrugged as they followed Tom to the room Jesse's staying in. Max got in front of his dad and walked into the room as Tom stopped and looked at everybody.
"I have to explain a few things. Jesse hasn't woken up yet. The doctors say that she's stable but they can't figure out why she won't open her eyes. She had cut herself thirteen times, seven on one arm and six on the other," Tom explained, "Other than that you can go in and see her if you'd like."
"I'll be back," Elizabeth announced quietly as she walked away.
"We'll go in now," Tai said as he and the others walked into the room. (How they all fit, they still don't know.) He noticed Max sitting in a chair, holding one of Jesse's hands.
They all gathered around Jesse quietly. Kari wanted to say something to break the silence but she didn't have to 'cause just then Max spoke.
"This is all your fault," Max whispered accusingly. They were all surprised by the boy's harsh words, but he wasn't finished yet.
"Since Jesse was 9 she's been trying to call you. She would try at least twice a day, but no one ever answered. She'd leave messages that no one would return. It killed her inside, she felt betrayed. See every since my mom married her dad I saw her as a sister. I always looked up to her, I wanted to do what she did." He smiled at the thought, " I was always jealous, She only wanted you guys as her sibling, not me.
"When I was ten and Jesse was twelve our parents left for the night. They went to some dance or something. I asked her if she wanted to play with me and she said in the deadest sounding tone I've ever heard, no. That's when I realized the change in my sister. Her eyes were dead, she wore almost all black, her voice was as dark as her clothes. Later that night we were watching TV when she turned to me and asked if I cared about her. As a younger brother you don't tell your sister that you care so of course I said no, why would I like you, eww that's gross. She simply nodded and turned back to the TV. That was the start of her depression.
"6 months ago, My parents went to a party at a friends house. Once again they left Jesse and me home alone. That night, it was quiet, usually me and Jesse would fight. I went up to Jesse's room to see how badly I could bug her, but when I opened the door, she was half-gone. I remember running to the phone and nothing else. The doctors said that physically she would heal but she was emotionally dead. I tried so hard to bring her back to life and yet I was afraid of her, when she needed me most I was afraid of her!" Max started to cry, "When I found her in her room that time, she was still talking, and all I heard was they hate me, they ignore me, they don't care, that's all I heard! I blame you! All I wanted was a sister, and you killed her!"
-Jesse's mind-
'What? I never knew. Oh Max, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please let me out, He needs me!'
No, don't you want them to suffer as you suffered.
'Not Max, he doesn't deserve it.' Jesse cried.
-End Jesse's Mind-
Tai was just about to answer, when he looked at Jesse's face, "She's crying."
"What?" Max said astonished as he looked at Jesse's face as well, "Dad come here!"
-In the hall during this time-
Tom and Sonia sat in a very uncomfortable silence in the hall. Its been eleven years since they've seen each other and they were both hoping it would be longer. Both were leaning against a wall opposite of each other. Sonia finally couldn't take the silence anymore.
"So, You're married," She could have smacked herself for that but she needed to end the silence around them.
"Yeah, How about you?"
"Hai, I mean Yeah."
Tom chuckled, "At least it seems we've grown up in the last eleven years."
"How so?"
"Don't you remember, We couldn't be in the same room without screaming at each other about something. Look at us now, trying to have a civilized conversation."
"You might have grown up but I haven't. I've wasted the last eleven years ignoring this side of my life instead of trying to accept it. I've ignored Jesse instead of trying to get to know her, because of my own fears. Because of my own stupid insecurities."
"You matured. It takes a lot to say you were wrong or afraid. Back then neither of us would ever admit to being wrong. We'd go around with this false pride and security waiting for the other one to crack. That's why we didn't work out in the end. Both of us had to much pride and not enough guts to admit our fears."
"Sounds like you thought about this for a long time."
"I did, I wasn't going to make the same mistake a second time." Tom smirked, "We grew up and now maybe we could start over as friends instead of ex's."
"For the kids sake at least." Sonia finished smiling. The sat in a more comfortable silence this time for a few minutes before they heard Max yell from the room for them to come quick. When they came into the room, they stopped astonished. It seemed that Jesse was waking up.
