(Mimi's POV)

I ran as fast as I could. The pain of exhaustion was consuming my lungs. I looked down at Tai's white face, as I continued to run noticing a few tears dropping on his face. I exit the Fair grounds, as I knew I grew too much attention to my self. "Mimi, wait up!" Yelled Matt as I never turned back to wait.

In time I'll find why everyone out there
In the painted sun

I ran past the mall and into the parking lot. I look around and noticed Tai's rundown car. I ran over as I quickened my pace. The thought of losing him was sickening. I didn't want to lose him…I need him. I quickly placed Tai on the hood as I reached in his left pocket and was lucky enough to find the keys right away. I felt the burning sensation of over using my arms, partially from Tai's weight and also from being out of shape. I unlocked the back door as I opened it, and then ran back over to Tai. I picked him up with much struggle, as I staggered over my won feet. I managed to keep my balance and place him in the car.

Has already found their root...they've found home

I laid him down so his body covered the length of the back seat. I saw him stare at me. "Mimi…You should've let me die…" He weakly explained, as I jumped back in shock.

And I'm tired of beating every drum

The words completely tortured my heart. "I can't Tai," I sobbed, as I sniffed back whatever fluid was draining through my nose, "I need you."

I stared at him as my eyes became instantly burry. I couldn't control myself. Tears poured down my face as I closed the door in a hurry. I opened the driver's side, and jumped in as I started up the car and drove off hurriedly hoping not to face too much traffic. As soon as I reached the intersection that leads on to the main road, my eyes blurred so severe I couldn't see. With out thinking I pulled out into the semi-heavy traffic. Everything seemed to be fine, when the sound of tires squealing grew louder and louder, then impact, as it sent us rolling backwards as I began to feel my chest hurt, and then nothing…

For old friends that never come
Went looking for them once...and found none

I woke up to see a familiar face, that of Sora's. She was sleeping while sitting down on a chair by my bed. "Sora?" I said as I felt that I had practically no energy.

I saw her eyes stir bloodshot as she continued to blink at me. She smiled at me. "How are you feeling? The doctors said you'll be fine and will be able to leave whenever you want to. The only problem was you had shock." Explained Sora, as she smiled and yawned at me at the same time.

I'm so unwound
And I know in my own way

"What time is it?" I asked as I tried to look around the room, as everything seemed to get fuzzy, unless it was close range.

"It's 4:34 am. Your parents are sleeping in the waiting room." Added Sora as she stood up.

I nodded as the events that took place many hours ago flashed through my head. Tai flew into my mind. "Where's Tai?" I demanded as I looked up at Sora.

I watched as Sora's smile faded away. She looked down as a frown snuck up upon her lips. "He's in the ER… He's in critical condition." Began Sora as she softly spoke.

I'm breaking down without screaming out loud
I'm facing up and reaching out
In the end I'll come around so shut your mouth
Cuz I can't stand or yell out...
Tell everyone I'm numb

My fear was coming true, as I felt my eyes water up again. The fear of losing him was becoming realistic. "His wound on his right arm is deep, and he lost too much blood. Also in the accident, he cracked three ribs, and suffered a concussion. There was a threat he might be brain damaged but he isn't. They managed to save him from that."

I sighed, as I felt relieved as a tear escaped my eye. "Mimi… there's something else you should know. The driver that hit you…was Koushiro."

I honestly didn't know what to think. Koushiro and Tai, my heart felt like it stopped.. "Koushiro is going to be fine." Added Sora as she tried to look up at me.

Here lies the former undisturbed

I couldn't think. The thoughts of both guys I liked so much were both lying in hospital beds, injured. This was my entire fault. I'm the one that hurt Tai, and the one that took a turn because I couldn't see. Now they're both in the beds hurt because of me. I wish I didn't exist. With in minutes, Sora sat back down as a doctor came in and handed me a report/bill for the visit. He explained to me to take it easy and rest for the next few days.

A bit high and a candle burns
It's goin all south...it's all gone

I changed quickly into a new set of clothes my parents have left me. I didn't want to wake them up and Sora had promised them that she'd give them to me when I woke up. The jogging pants hugged my hips, as was a comfortable change then the usual jeans. The top I wore was a faded shirt that Matt gave me. He said it was his friends, Tai. It was blue with a couple of stars. It fit perfect. I walked out as me and Sora exited the room. I walked up to the room that had a panel that read Izumi Koushiro. I stopped and looked over as I walked up to it. I walked forward as a nurse stopped me. "Excuse but is your name Tachikawa Mimi?" Asked the petite figured woman.

I nodded. "Sorry but we can't let you as requested by Koushiro's parents. I'm sorry." Added the nurse as she walked off.

A walked away as I saw the Izumi's stand up, as I back away. They look rather perturbed. I looked down as I felt Sora's warm touch pull me away from looking at them and seeing their faces of hatred and disgust. I turned away. I looked forward and off to my left I notice another familiar name. Yagami, Taichi. With out even thinking about anything, I rush right in the see feint breathing and pale skinned Taichi. He looked so sick and ill that he was going to pass away with in a matter of seconds. Even the doctors have said they have no clue why he is pushing onwards. His body was shutting itself off, but he was able to turn it back on.

A red face that hides in nervous hands
Once a better friend than an enemy
Will I make another run...or am I done

I looked at him and saw the many things used to keep his heart pumping. A metal tube stuck through his throat, hooked up to a hose then to a machine. The sight was rather saddening. He had a breathing mask as well. He was hooked up to I.V. And many other skin injected drugs. I saw his semi-blood shot eyes open and look at me. I gasped as I walked over to his bed. His right arm was bandaged, but the bandage was reddened. His pale skin made him seem like he was beyond sick. I placed my right hand on his left as he looked up at me. He still looked empty, lost and confused.

I saw him pointing at the small table. There was a notepad, and judging from the written conversation it was Matt. I handed it to him, as I slowly placed the pen in his hands, and watched him struggle to write. After a few minutes he handed it back to me. It read something that almost tore me in half. 'Why did you let me live?' I felt my skin flush white. Tai really wants to die. I grabbed his hand as kneeled down to his bed. I looked him in the eyes. I didn't care if I was crying or not. But I was crying, I felt my T-shirt sponge the tears up as they fell. I felt the burning sensation of the salty liquid blurring up my eyes. "Tai…I'm sorry…I love you…" I begged and pleaded as I held his hand.

He slowly nodded no. I gasped, as I remained paralysed. I looked up at him as his eyes looked away from me. "Izumi…" Whispered Tai faintly.

Someday I'll line up everyone out there
In a late day sun
For one deep and final breath...

I looked at him. I felt my jaw drop. I couldn't believe he just said that. I began shaking my head, as I began hearing scribbling coming from Tai's lone able hand. I looked down as I looked at the notepad, but was unable to read it as I noticed Sora and a doctor entered the room. "Come on, Meems, we need to go. They're going to make Tai sleep. His suicide attempted injury is infected is causing him so much pain he passes out. The doctors are trying to give him medicine to reduce it, but it just seems to make things worse." Explained Sora, as she brought me out of the room.

I didn't look at her. I know it was selfish. I looked at the note pad. It said 'I 3 U 2'. I looked over as I caught a glimpse of Tai starring at me. I smiled. I feel so bad for letting him down. I felt Sora stop her spiel of whatever she was talking about, and we both began to exit in silence when we heard a loud commotion coming from the Izumi room. Three nurses pushed the stretcher he was on out in the hall and down to the ER section. I watched as the events unfolded, and I fell to my knees. Koushiro was dying, and remained in a coma.
