Chapter 37 – Letters in CD cases, again
Elli came back with a pen, paper and the CD case, while the doctor left the room. She rushed into the room and handed the items to her.
"Thank you Elli."
"We-welcome, do you want me to do anything else?"
"Well, I would like some privacy. Haha.." she tried to giggle.
Elli, with a sympathised face nodded and left the room. Meanwhile, Claire got into her writing.
Hey Gray,
Reminds you of old times doesn't it? It seems like just yesterday I wrote to you and put it in this CD case. :D I hope you're well! When you wake up, the first thing I want you to do is play this CD and go to track 6 and 7. You probably know what those songs are, but just listen to them anyway and imagine me singing it! Cause I'm a bad singer and can't sing that good. Ahah! Well—
The door burst wide open. It was Kailee. Claire looked at her without any emotion on her face, while Kailee looked at Claire with rage and sadness. The brown haired girl walked up to Claire and slapped her.
"How dare you?" she yelled at her.
Claire's facial expression didn't change, although she tried to appear angry. "What?"
"You- You, did all this! You put my brother in jail and you harmed Gray!"
The sentence 'you harmed Gray' triggered a facial nerve in Claire's face. "M-me? I didn't do anything! YOUR brother stabbed him!"
Kailee pushed Claire off the bed, and she landed on the right side of her head. Her head throbbed but she continued to stand up and face Kailee.
"I-I didn't d-do anything!" she yelled.
"Yes you did! Since you were little… You pulled Gray away from me by pushing me away, but when I pushed Kai towards you, you hurt him by pushing HIM away." She pushed Claire into the wall, where she hit the back of her head hard. "How do you feel being pushed Claire? It's no fun is it?"
Claire was getting dizzy, and her head was aching. She felt like her brain was bleeding inside her head. "Ka-Kailee… Please stop!.." she out her hands in front of her for defence.
Kailee scoffed and pushed her into the wall harder. "Doesn't feel good does it Claire?"
"Kailee! Stop!" she looked at her with tears in her eyes and pain throughout her whole face. "I feel…"
She pushed Claire once more, and Claire stumbled. "What do you feel Claire? Hurt? Pain? Anger towards me?"
"N-noo I feel—"
There came another push from Kailee, but the push she did this time was harder and it had more force. The force from the push made Claire hit her head on the sharp corner of the table. The impact made Claire's head burst open in the middle of the back of her head. Blood gushed out and scattered on the floor. Kailee started shaking.
"I-I went too far…" she whispered to herself. She looked at the blonde haired girl on the floor with red blood pooling around her. She gasped and rushed out of the room, calling a doctor.
Everything seemed to be in slow motion. The doctors slowly rushing in and carrying her back on the bed and gathering her blood. They flipped her carefully and examined the back of her head. It was a huge crack, but what was bad was the skull was also cracked. Kailee gasped at the sight she saw. She fell to her knees and coughed.
"Kailee? You alright there?" the doctor asked.
"I pushed her." She whispered. "I pushed Claire… It's my fault! It's all my fault! I pushed Claire!"
"Kailee, calm down! She'll be alright!"
"Her brain… I saw it… She can't be alright if I saw it! She can't!"
"Kailee! We would need you to go outside and calm down. "Elli, take her please?"
She quickly rushed in and grabbed Kailee by the hand and led her outside.
Time went by, Gray was still in surgery and so was Claire. While the siblings had their own matter to handle, Kai was with the police and Kailee was with Elli. Minutes and finally hours passed. Kailee had calmed down and Kai had to serve time in prison for five months. There was still no sign of life from Claire. But with Gray, it was different, he was moving his limbs, he had pain in the right side of his body, excruciating pain, but it would heal. His arm was also not paralysed, and he thanked the doctors for that.
When Gray woke up, he saw a note at the bedside of his table, along with a CD. He opened the letter and read it.
Hey Gray,
Reminds you of old times doesn't it? It seems like just yesterday I wrote to you and put it in this CD case. :D I hope you're well! When you wake up, the first thing I want you to do is play this CD and go to track 6 and 7. You probably know what those songs are, but just listen to them anyway and imagine me singing it! Cause I'm a bad singer and can't sing that good. Ahah! Well—
'Well what?' he thought 'hah, you are a bad singer though...' He put the letter down and listened to the CD that brought him back memories of Claire's weird way of confessing to him. He laughed as he looked inside, the note was still there…
Hey Gray,
Well, here's the cd that you wanted :] if you want I can download it and I can put it in your iPod then you can listen to it whenever you work! Isn't that great? … I don't know any way to tell you this, so I kind of just did it here… Uh.. It's really hard to say and write… And, my hand is shaking right now.. And I like you okay! I like how you work so hard and how you're always so nice to me and I adore how you're so nice to me and I like how you love the same music as me and I like how you always visit me and I adore how you always work hard and never give up and …
'Why'd you stop there?' he asked the note and laughed.
He got the CD and played it in the nearest CD player. Track six, was never give up fighting. By the drummer of Blurry.
You mustn't stop fighting!
Fight for your life, fight for everything you love!
Never stop fighting!
Cause she's there to stay…
Gray smiled as he continued to listen to the rest of the song. And as it ended, he changed the track to number seven. The song was called I'll still love you, by the leader of the band.
I'll still love you through the things we go through.
I'll never let go of you.
Though we have fights,
You should know that I'll still love you
No matter what
Gray smiled softly as he listened to the song and pretended to see Claire singing it to him. He laughed at the thought. As soon as the song ended, he got up and looked for Claire. He rang the buzzer to get some help from the doctor or the nurse. Elli came in and looked at him nervously.
"Hey Elli, can you bring me to Claire?"
She fidgeted with the laces from her dress. "Gray, she's in the other room and… I don't think you'd want to see her…"
Gray tried his best to stand up. "Why?"
"I'm afraid that Claire is in a coma."
*Continued chapter 38*
AN: Yes! I had a chance to update! Okay, so I'm planning to create a new story, after I finish LICDC (Letters in CD Cases), so I want to give you guys an insight on it and tell me what you think. Is it good, should I continue it, should I change the story line, anything at all! Oh! Before I forget, the setting of this story is still in mineral town and the characters are still Gray and Claire. I don't really know who I should use so yeah, I just continued to use them. So here goes…
-It Started With A Text Message-
Claire received a message on her phone.
'Dudee I wish you were here! I can't believe that out of all the days you could have gotten sick, you pick THIS day? You know that it's the Full Moon Festival!'
Claire sighed. 'I know!' she texted. 'But I'm REALLY SUPER SICK! Just cause you're not sick. You don't have to rub it in my face!' Sent.
Claire and Gray were like siblings, Claire was younger than Gray by five years, but no one could stop their friendship. Besides, friendship doesn't have an age!
Her phone beeped and vibrated again. She looked at her phone and read the message. 'I kinda wish you were here… Everyone's all paired up and all romantic…'
Claire replied: 'Why'd you come in the first place? We could've gone to my house and listened to music and played games all night!' Sent.
Received from Gray: 'Well, I thought you'd be here! But you ended up being sick -_- come come!'
Sent to Gray: 'Are you serious? I'm a sick person and you're asking me to come there! Why don't YOU come here!'
Received from Gray: 'It's nicer here! With the stars in the sky and the full moon and stuff… Everyone's acting so lovey dovey now -_- Can I admit something?'
Sent to Gray: 'Geez I can't come there, I'd probably collapse! Uhh, yeah sure. Why not?'
Received from Gray: 'I think I've fallen in love with you.'
Claire stared at the screen with wide eyes. 'Fallen in love… WITH ME!' she thought.
And yeah… Do you guys think it's good or no? I think the Received from and the Sent to is kinda confusing *_* So I hope to get a new story after I finish LICDC. Well, school's just around the corner… Again. I'm not ready yet! I don't wanna go to school T_T You guys stay safe and healthy okay? :D
