Chapter 5
I was ready to leave the hospital nine days later, blissfully unaware that TK was already gone. When I asked to see him, Tai lied and said he was still in ICU, and wasn't allowed to have visitors. I sighed defeatedly, it was no use, Tai had an iron will. He and dad escorted me home, where Mom had fixed a big dinner, I didn't eat much, I was still recovering from the fact that my little girl was dead, and soon excused myself from the table to rest in my room, but I didn't even give myself the chance to. I was either pacing or thinking all the rest of that evening, untill about ten. I got up, thinking I was going to get a glass of milk to try and settle my stomach, but stopped short at what I heard through the living room door.
"The funeral is tommorow." That was my mom, but who's funeral was she talking about?
"When are we going to tell Kari?" Tai? He was up?
"I really don't want to have to tell her that he's dead..." I wanted to go in, and ask, 'Who's Dead?' but I didn't have to. My dad answered it before I could.
"She's a grown woman, she has the right to know TK's dead." I stepped backwards, and hit the wall. They heard, I know, because I heard chairs scraping and Tai's muffled curse as I fled down the hall and into the bathoom. I locked the door behind me, just in time, because no sooner had I locked it than Tai was pounding on the door, trying to get me to open it. I rummaged around hurredly, trying to find a glass bottle, finally pulling one out of the medicine cabnet and throwing it into the tub where it shattered, leaving pills scattered all over. Tai, by then, had decided to break in the door, and he was pounding away at it. I picked up the sharpest piece I could find as the door gave way, and, holding it to my throat, turned to face him.
"I'll do it. I swear." I must've looked serious, because he held up his hands and stepped backwards. "I'm serious. I will do it."
"Kari, calm down, OK? Just set down the glass, and come out here ok?"
"You lied to me. You said he was alive!" He took a step towards me, and I pressed with the glass threateningly. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" He tried to talk me out of it, but I couldn't be swayed by him.
"I'm sorry. Will you calm down and let me explain?"
"You lied! He's dead! Why would I want to live with both him and my daughter gone?" My mother stepped in then, it shocked the hell out of me, thats for sure.
"Please, Kari, baby, don't do this. Please."
"Mom, stay away from me. I need to end this nightmare."
"You won't do that by killing yourself. Maybe it would stop for you, but you would only be passing it on to us. You've always thought of others before yourself before, can we....can I count on you to do that now?" One look in her eyes and I knew she was being sincere. I tried to block the emotion, but it was to big, too strong. I dropped the glass, and passed out.
Nowadays I'm ok. In fact, I'm better than ok. I've been in rehab all of about six months now, and I feel a lot better about life. I'm closer to my family, my mom especially, and I'm looking forward to life as Mrs. Davis Motomiya, however long it takes for that boy to propose. Like Sora, I'm patient. Tai is just nervous, like Davis, but he loves Sora, and she loves him, again, like davis and me. They'll get around to it, in their own good time. I've heard Tai talking to mom about weding arangements, and rings, Sora's had her part secretly planned for ages, and Tai could pop the question any day now. Unfortunatly, Yolie still will not disclose any information on the whereabouts of a certain Mr. Davis Motomiya........
