I Still See Him
Part 2: Seeing Him
It was Saturday, the day after TK died. Matt, his mom, and his dad were spending the day together. Yolei and Ken were spending the day in the park mainly crying and comforting each other. It had been obvious that they liked each other, but now they were really showing it. Joe and Izzy picked up Mimi from the airport. The three of them spent the day together at Highton View Terrace. Davis played soccer with his friends. Cody did kendo with his grandfather, but even his grandpa couldn't cheer him up. Tai asked Sora over to his house. Sora agreed since Matt was spending the day with his family.
"I'm glad you came over Sora," Tai told her. "I think there's something wrong with Kari. She keeps acting like TK never died. I don't know how to talk to her. I'm so afraid that I'll hurt her if I tell her that TK's dead. I thought at first it was just shock, but now I'm not sure. She speaks as though he's right in front of us." Tai looks towards his and Kari's room.
"I'll ask her about it, Tai," Sora says. She walks into Kari's room.
~ Minutes before ~
"So, TK, what do you want to do? Do you want to sit on the couch and watch movies? Hey, why don't we go to the park. Yolei and Ken will be there. I'm sure they'd want to see you. I just don't know why they think you're dead," Kari said as she combed her hair.
TK sighed. He tried to convince her that he was dead. It was just no use. She didn't want to let him go. "Kari, I'm dead. You have to let me go. I'm no longer alive. Everyone is beginning to worry about you."
"Why? I'm not sick. I'm perfectly fine. For some reason, they all think you're dead. They should worry about themselves."
TK sighed. It was no use. 'How am I supposed to tell her that everyone thinks she is nuts? I don't want to hurt her. She probably wouldn't believe me anyway.'
~ Real Time ~
Sora opened the door slightly. "Kari can I come in?"
"Sure."
"I wanted to talk to you Kari."
"About what?"
"About TK."
"He's fine. He's in front of my closet. Can't you see him?"
"He's dead, Kari."
"TK says the same thing. This is a joke you guys are playing, right? Man, you guys know how to act."
"It's not a joke, Kari."
"Sure it is. You guys ignore TK and tell me he's dead. TK follows me everywhere and tells me he's dead. I know what you guys are up to, but April Fools' day was about a month ago."
Sora had had it. Kari thought it was all a joke. "TK IS DEAD! IT IS NOT A JOKE! YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT!."
"Get out of my room!" Kari couldn't stand her. How dare Sora yell at Kari. "Get out of my room, Sora!"
"Gladly!" Sora walked out of the room. Kari slammed the door behind her.
"I sure told her, didn't I, TK?"
TK sighed once more. It was going to be a long day.
In the kitchen, Tai and Sora were talking about what happened in the bedroom. Sora had calmed down and told the whole story. Tai stood up. "That's it. I'm going to talk to her," he said.
Sora stood as well. "I'm coming too. I promise not to yell at her this time."
"All right."
They walked into the bedroom. Kari was talking to TK.
"You still haven't told me what you want to do, TK."
"Kari, TK's dead. Stop talking like he's really there," Tai said.
"He is there, Tai. Can you all stop playing this prank? It's becoming mean."
Sora spoke up. "Kari, we're not playing..."
"I told you to get out, Sora," Kari interrupted.
"Why are you acting this way, Kari?" Tai asked, worried about his little sister. She never spoke like that. There was so much coldness in her voice.
"Because he's not dead! Both of you, GET OUT!"
Tai and Sora left the room. They were hurt, sad, worried, shocked, angry, and scared.
TK could no longer stand it. He wanted her to let go of him. He wanted her to see the truth. He didn't want to see her end up crazy. "Kari, there's something I have to tell you. I love you. I have known this for a while. I'm telling you this because you need to let me go."
Kari stared at him, confused and shocked.
"If you don't let go of me, you'll go crazy and snap at everyone who tells you that I'm dead. Just like Tai and Sora. Deep down, you know I'm dead."
"I won't accept that," Kari said. She needed proof, not words.
TK walked over to her. He leaned in to kiss her. Kari felt him go through her. She knew he was dead.
"Oh no. You are dead." With that, TK disappeared. Kari fell to her knees and cried. He was gone. He was really gone.
Tai and Sora ran into the room. Tai hugged his crying little sister. "He's gone. He's really gone, Tai. I saw him, though. He told me he loved me and that I knew he was dead. Then he tried to kiss me, but he just went through me." She started sobbing.
"It'll be all right, Kari. It'll be all right." Tai looked at his crying sister. He couldn't stand to see her like this.
Sora looked at Tai and Kari. She didn't know what to do. "I'm going home. There's nothing I can do. You two should talk," she said as she went to get her coat.
"Bye, Sora," Tai said.
"Bye, Tai."
What will happen to Kari now that she has accepted TK's death? How will everyone else be effected? Find out in Part 3. Sorry it took so long to get this part up. School work held me back. That and writer's block. Please review. pnkngrnD3
