Chapter 11:
When Kai was released from the hospital the last thing he expected was to be rushed to the airport and flown half way across the world, away from Tala. His parents were up to something, he was sure about it. It was no vacation home they'd taken him to, it was a permanent home. His old room was just as he'd left it when he was just three years old. Stuffed animals everywhere, and children's television mascots on the bedding, baby blue walls, and rustic hardwood floors.
"Damn it Tala, why won't you answer me?" Kai growled out.
He'd tried to call Tala two hundred and sixty eight times, but not once did the redhead answer him. Over the course of the two weeks away he'd grown more and more worried.
"He's not going to answer no matter how many times you call son, he is gone." His father said, leaning against the wall by the door to his room.
"What do you mean he's gone?" Kai hissed back.
"Your friend is dead son, there were some side effects to his surgery and his body couldn't keep fighting any longer."
"That's a lie!"
"No Kai it's not. It was in the newspaper this morning."
"Leave me alone."
"Kai, talk to us." His mother spoke up from beside his father.
"Just leave me alone!"
And Kai slammed the door, locking it quickly.
"Don't you think what we're doing is cruel?" Kai's mother asked his father when they had retreated to their own room.
"Not at all. That boy would ruin Kai's life."
With a fake newspaper article as proof, Kai's parents spent the next two years helping their son heal from a pain he didn't need to feel. They did everything they could to keep Tala and Kai out of contact, an easy task with all the money they had at their disposal. Kai finally agreed to date a girl they'd introduced him to. In his mind the thought that his parents knew that Tala was more than a friend to him never quite registered. Kai decided he would date any girl his parents wanted him to.
Every five girls he'd get his parents worked up over, pretending to be interested in her further than just a few dates, and then announcing some kind of flaw in the girl when he'd ask his parents accompany him when he was to propose to said girl. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye it seemed. Kai keeping his system going to keep his parents from getting suspicious. He feared his father would kill him if he found out he was into men.
He finished schooling and took over for his father as was his right, and then it happened. His parents found a woman that Kai couldn't refuse. She was too perfect, even in his eyes. His mother planned every detail of the wedding, right down to the media flowing the event like the dogs they were. Kai felt insulted, but wouldn't let it show. Here he was, the mighty high school god living his life by his parents standards. He was bloody miserable.
Wedding nights should be magical, but for Kai there was no magic. He wasn't a toy his parents could play with, and he decided to show them. Kai poisoned his wife's drink, along with his parents food. He was suspected of having something to do with it of course, but he could act very well, and he did. In eight months he was on a flight back to New York. He didn't know what he would do with his life, but the change of place would be a start he decided.
"Hannah slow down, the flight doesn't leave for another half hour."
Kai never expected to hear that voice again, and nearly fell over when his eyes had locked onto Tala. A girl bumped into him, and before Kai could blink Tala was kneeling in front of him checking the girl, for injury apparently. When Tala looked up all he could do was gasp.
A/N: I'm in a really dark mood nowadays, hm. One more to go. Please read and review. Thank you!
