Ok, second chapter !!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO !!! I know a lot of you
have been waiting for this, like forever ! Sorry for that, sorry, sorry,
sorry... I hope everybody is happy now, so... YAY! ^^ Enjoy, and uhm... R
and R !!! -x-x-x- Thanks. Mari-sama~ (About the story : Tai, Sora and Kari
weren't allowed to go into Matt's room, so they won't either in this
chapter. Ok ? Clear ? But they are told about what had happened of course.
^^)
He's in pain~ chapter 2 :
AGONY - - - - - - - - - - by Mari-sama~
"Matt ?"
He wanted to answer. But couldn't. He felt like he was drowning, and his head hurt so much. Everything was spinning around and his chest hurt every time he breathed.
"Matt ? Can you hear me ?"
The voice wasn't clear to Matt, and he couldn't make up wether it was a man or a woman speaking to him.
"I think he's half-awake. His eyes are turning around slowly, but he doesn't react."
"Well, make him then !"
"Yes, doctor."
The nurse was new, and it was only her first day on the ICU.
"Matt ? Matt, are you awake ?"
The doctor walked out of the room, sighing.
The nurse dropped herself in a chair next to Matt's bed. His blonde hair was messy.
"I think I'll just stay here, if that's ok with you ?"
She sighed.
"I don't think you'll mind, as you're unconscious..."
"I'm your nurse, you know ? I'm gonna be here every day and every minut of it. So get used to me already."
Matt opened his eyes, even tough it hurt him a lot and it was hard to keep them open.
"Oh, bless you ! You're awake. I thought you were gonna sleep forever."
"It... stings..." Matt whispered, his voice broken.
"Where ? Where does it stings ?" the nurse asked worried, afraid that she'd done something wrong.
Matt wearily put his hand on his chest.
"Oh, yeah, we had to stitch that again. Broken ribs aren't a joke. It hurts a lot, doesn't it ?"
No reaction.
"I know it hurts, when I was 14, I fell out of my bedroom window. It was pretty high. Luckily I didn't get too much hurt. I had a broken rib and a headache." She smiled.
A few minutes passed.
"It's my first day on the ICU, you know ? I think it's pretty scary inhere. But of course I don't doubt this is scarier for you."
Her fingers played with a tube that was in Matt's arm.
"You... should be... careful with.. that, you know ?" Matt brought out, slowly.
She was surprised that Matt was still awake. His eyes had been closed all the time. She quickly let go off the tube that she was playing with.
"Hi there, I'm Lucy."
Matt didn't react.
"I know you're Matt, that you're 14, hit by a car and badly injured. Not fair, eh ? I know..."
"I even doubt you're fully awake, but hey ! I'll talk to you, that's the only way I can put my mind off things myself. I'm stressed, you know ? All these doctors that call me around and all..."
Lucy stopped talking as suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Come in !" she said, not too loud, for Matt.
It was TK, Matt's brother.
"Can I sit by him now ?"
His voice was scratchy and Lucy could hear that he had been crying. His eyes were red and bloodshot.
"Sure, you can sit in the chair."
She stood up and indicated the chair she had been sitting in.
"Thank you." TK mumbled.
"How is he ?" he asked after a while.
"Matt is in a critical condition, uhm... ?"
"TK, my name's TK."
"TK. He has several injuries in his chest, which cause that he can't breathe on his own. But don't worry, we're gonna operate him when he goes to the children's ward."
A weak smile appeared on TK's face as he said :
"I bet you he's gonna hate it there... He'll feel too grown up for the children's ward."
Lucy smiled, even though she thought it was so sad.
TK's smile also quickly disappeared, as Matt sighed loudly in agony. His brother took his hand and sighed.
"You hear that, Matt ? You're gonna be alright. You're gonna be alright..."
Lucy walked away and closed the door softly. She sighed when it was fully closed and shook her head.
*** ICU is terrible. ***
* * * * * * * * * *
TK didn't know how long he'd been sitting there. He didn't know how long he'd been holding Matt's hand.
*** You don't know how late it it either, ha ? ***
*** I'm sorry, Matt. ***
*** Have we fought often ? Too often ? ***
*** Have I been a bad brother ? ***
*** Have I failed you then ? ***
*** Was I right ? ***
*** Was I wrong ? ***
*** I know I can't think as if you're already dead, but... ***
*** Death seems so close... ***
*** I'm afraid, Matt. I'm so afraid. ***
*** I'm scared to death... ***
*** You would have been here to protect me now, to make sure everything was alright. Or at least pretend as if everything was gonna be fine... ***
*** I need you more than ever, Matt. ***
*** I need your protection more than ever now. ***
*** Then why aren't you awake ? Here ? Next to me, to tell me it'll be ok ?! Why not ? ***
*** I know I'm crying... ***
*** I know I am... ***
*** I don't want to cry, Matt. ***
*** Did you ever cry ? ***
*** I don't think you did... Well, maybe sometimes... But sometimes doesn't count, right ? ***
*** Does sometimes count ? ***
*** Then... If I've been a bad little brother 'sometimes', doesn't that matter ? ***
*** Tell me it's ok, please... ***
*** Tell me I've been a good brother ! ***
TK sighed, and dried his cheeks.
*** Have I been, Matt ? ***
*** Have I ? ***
*** All I know, is that YOU certainly were. ***
*** You've been the best brother ever. ***
*** You were always there for me, Matt ! Always ! ***
*** You would always help me when I was in danger ! ***
*** But me ?! No ! ***
*** You're in danger, Matt. You're in life danger, even. ***
*** But am I here to help you out ?! ***
*** Am I here to help you ? To comfort you ? ***
*** To tell me you'll be fine ? ***
*** I'm not ! ***
*** And you know what, Matt ? ***
*** I don't even know if you will... ***
*** You always taught me to stay positive, but everything is so confusing. My world has crashed down, the moment that the head mistress entered the classroom and asked me to come outside... ***
*** I knew it was about you. ***
*** I knew it was something bad, too. ***
*** I heard it in her voice. It was... ***
*** Empty, I guess. ***
*** And then I saw mom ! ***
*** She was crying, and for a moment I thought you were dead ! ***
*** I thought you were dead... ***
"Can you hear me, Matt ?" TK cried.
He shook his brother's hand softly.
"Can you hear me ? Matt ?"
"Matt ?"
"Matt... ?"
"Matt ?"
No reaction.
*** Matt, say something to me, please. ***
Sudenly TK was scared to death by a long beeping sound.
Beep - beep - beep - . - beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee -
"Matt !"
"MATT !"
He knew exactely what that meant.
- - - I'm sorry, TK... - - -
- - - I can't stop... - - -
- - - I can't stop running... - - -
The beeping sound screetched through TK's mind. Empty bitterness...
- - - It doesn't take just a second... The flash you see of your life when you die, I mean. - - -
"MATT !!! PLEASE !!!"
"MATT !!!! PLEASE !!!! NOT NOW !!!"
TK burst out in tears, and screamed. He went insane.
*** Now what ?!!!! ***
*** MATT !!!!!! TELL ME I'M DREAMING !!! ***
- - - You're not, TK... - - -
*** TELL ME THIS IS A NIGHTMARE !!! MATT !!!!!!!!!!! ***
- - - I can't stop running towards... the... light ? - - -
- - - So there is a light... and a tunnel... - - - -
"MATT !!!"
*** The alarm button !!! ***
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
"Hold on, bro... They're gonna save you..."
- - - The walls... Paintings of my life... I see you... - - -
- - - Gabumon... - - -
- - - Mom and dad... Together... - - -
- - - Beautiful life I had... - - -
"Matt, hold on now... Hold on !!!"
Only a second or so later, the doctors and nurses came racing into the room and took Matt away.
- - - Beautiful it was... - - -
"MATT !!!!"
Malcolm and Nancy came running into the room too. TK's mom fell onto her knees and hugged TK tight. She didn't let him go until Matt was taken away. Malcolm followed.
"Matt... He... Oh God... Matt !" Nancy cried.
"MATT !!! COME- BACK !!!" TK screamed, crying.
- - - I'm at the end. - - -
- - - This is where it ends, I guess... - - -
- - - The end... - - -
*** NO !!! NO !!! NO !!!!!!!!!!! ***
- - - Stop crying... The paintings are getting wet by your tears... - - -
- - - Will you wait for me, TK ? - - -
- - - Don't forget... - - -
- - - I'll always be there for you... - - -
*** DON'T GIVE IN !!! NOT NOW !!! NOT YET !!!!!! ***
- - - I have to... I can't stop running... - - -
- - - The end... - - -
- - - Promise... - - -
*** NO !!!! ***
- - - Divine... - - -
- - - God... - - -
- - - Will you cry ? - - -
*** STOP !!! MATT !!!!! ***
*** MATT !!!!!! ***
"MATT !!!!"
"TK... It's over now... It's -over..." Nancy sobbed, still not letting go of her son.
Malcolm had gone with the doctors.
- - - Virtues... - - -
- - - Noise... - - -
*** DON'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***
- - - The promise of another tomorrow... - - -
- - - Broken... - - -
"Oh MATT !!!"
"It's over, TK..."
- - - Crashed. - - -
*** NOT YET !!! ***
"He's gone..."
- - - Forever... - - -
- - - "Come on, boy ! Breathe !" - - -
- - - "Matt, breathe !" - - -
- - - Voices... - - -
- - - "Matt !!! Breathe !" - - -
- - - Darkness within... - - -
*** NO !!!! ***
- - - "Matt !!! Do it for me !!! Breathe !!! For dad !!!" - - -
- - - "COME ON !!!" - - -
- - - Darkness taking over... - - -
- - - Dark wings stay unintended... - - -
- - - See the shadows... - - -
- - - Gathering around... - - -
- - - Over me... - - -
- - - Following me... - - -
- - - One by one, falling. - - -
- - - "COME ON !!!" - - -
"MATT !!!!"
*** COME ON !!! ***
- - - Stop. - - -
