I could cry all night.

Chapter 4!

T.K. sat next to his brother's bed in shock. He must've been in that same position for quite a while, ever since that perky nurse Riley came in and told them that Izzy was dead. She was even perky when she told them, like she didn't care.

"But why would she care. She didn't know Izzy. To her he was just another patient who died before she could take care of him." T.K. thought. He kept think over and over in his head that it was all a big mistake, but somehow his heart wouldn't believe it.

And Kari was another story. Even though the operation had been successful, she was still very sick. His heart ached with such a pain someone his age shouldn't know.

T.K. realized that his face was wet with tears, he had been crying and not even knowing it. He reached for Matt's hand and noticed the tears gathering in his eyes, trying not to fall. But one eventually slipped out and with them came the others.

He moved to Matt's bedside and they sat hugging each other for support. Crying.

Sora came out of her daze when she realized someone else had entered her room. She turned her head and saw Joe standing next to her. The sight of him brought a smile to her face, but it quickly faded when she saw the sadness in his eyes.

Joe sat down next to her and held her against his body, letting her cry on his shoulder. He held her until she had cried herself dry. His eyes were also filled with tears, but he refused to let them fall.

Sora looked into his tear-filled eyes and realized how strongly she felt for him. A great guilt filled her, "I shouldn't, I can't… Not after what just happened." She thought as she buried her face into his chest. His fresh clean scent filled her nose as another wave of tears came over her.

Joe saw the look in her eyes and knew what she had just realized. He kissed the top of her head and smoothed down her messy hair. And then he let his tears fall.

Tai walked down the hall towards his sister's room. She had been moved up, back with her friends, early this morning because there was no need for her to be down in ICU.

Tai's back was not as badly sprained as the doctors had once believed, but even though it hurt, he was able to walk.

Inside the doorway to Kari's room he paused. T.K. was already in there, standing next to her bed which held a sleeping Kari, gently hold her hand. His back was turned to the door so he didn't know Tai was watching him.

"Kari, there's something I need to tell you." T.K. whispered. "It's kinda silly…we'll not really but… Kari if anything happens to you, I don't know what I'll do with myself. You're my world. You're smile is what I wake up in the morning to see. When I heard that you were hurt, I almost died myself. You know Kari that I love you, I've always loved you. Every since I first saw your smile when we were only eight. I didn't know what it was then, but I do now." He brushed a piece of hair out of her face and gently touched her cheek.

Tai made his way towards him, surprising T.K. when he put his arm around him. "I'm glad it's you T.K. My sister doesn't deserve anything less then the best. I'm glad it's you.' Tai whispered, looking at his sister, looking so small and frail.

"Thanks Tai." T.K. whispered back, still holding Kari's hand.

Tai nodded and turned back towards the door, but stopped and turned around. "She's going to be fine T.K. and you'll have your whole lives ahead of you."

Tai ran into his parents a little way down the hallway, on their way to see Kari. "Um.. don't go in there just yet." Tai stopped them. The started to object but he cut them off. "Just trust me."

They nodded and starte walking in the opposite direction. "Oh Tai, we went to the nurses stations on all the floors. None of them seem to have heard of Mimi."

"What are you saying?" Tai asked slowly.

'Tai, Mimi is nowhere in this hospital. We have no other idea where she could be, this is the only hospital for a ways and…. She's just not here."

"I'm not understanding. If she's not here, then where is she?"

"That's what I'm saying, son. Mimi's missing!"
