Chapter 3
Best Friends
Kari was finished brushing her hair when she stole a glance towards the kitchen window. She noted the fresh flowers outside their window, waving left to right as the wind blew its' invisible force around the city. The sun hasn't rose yet and Kari could tell by the bright fading blue sky, the sun was starting to climb its' way to this side of the earth. The clouds were flat and fading gray blue. Like a painting. Kari brought her hand up and mentally touched the cloud. Clouds like that seem to never move, but stay there as a painting. Kari leaned against the window and took in some more of the street and block, what the window presented to her.
Kari never noticed the block around their building complex. Beside the building was a flower shop, Sora kept scolding them not to buy any flowers from that shop and should go to her flower shop. As a friend, Kari and others agreed. Kari found herself giggling.
*flashback*
"Tell me again why we're here." Davis asked as the three walked through the hospital to Sora's room.
"Because, we're here to support Sora." T.K. said.
"What happened to her again?"
"She fell down the stairs and broken her leg." Kari answered.
"Was she at home?"
"I think she was playing tennis with some friends."
"But did she really needed to go to the hospital? I mean it was only what? Two or three steps?" Davis and the others stopped before an elevator.
"Two or three steps could still injury." T.K. said as he pushed the up button.
"Davis, you would go to the hospital if you smacked your toe against the counter."
"No, I wouldn't." The elevator doors opened and exposed an empty elevator room.
"And plus crying like a baby." Kari stepped into the elevator as the boys followed her inside. T.K. pushed the button to the third floor.
"Does the crying baby get a kiss on the toe?" Davis grinned. The doors closed.
"No."
"You think Sora will like this flowers?" T.K. took a smell from the yellow, orange, and white flowers. The elevator door opened to the third floor.
"I think so." Stepping into the hall, Kari flashed a mischief smile before entering a room.
Tai sat by the bed with Sora's hand in his. The others found Sora lying on the bed with a cast on her right leg, from the toe to knee.
Sora smiled to the three teens. "Hi guys."
"Hey Sora." Kari hugged the girl. T.K. and Davis kissed her on different cheeks.
Tai laughed. T.K. and Davis glared at him.
The two girls looked over to the boys, "What happened?" Sora asked.
Between laughter of tears, "T.K. and Davis once kissed." Then blast out laughing.
T.K. turned blue, "We did not!"
"You're sick, Tai." Davis also turned blue.
"What?" Tai turned to the confused girls. "Once at the hospital, we visited a friend who had her arm broken. We were about to leave. T.K. kissed her on the cheek for a good bye. And then Davis kissed her on the same cheek. After we left, I told them how they kissed each other. They denied it so, then I told them how they kissed her on the same cheek. It's like kissing each other."
T.K. and Davis turned blue in disgust while the others laughed.
"They ran splitting and choking." Tai laughed harder.
"What's so funny?"
T.K. and Davis turned and found Mimi and Izzy at the door. Sora waved her hand to gesture them to come in. Mimi sat on the other side, across of Tai.
"Feeling better?" Mimi asked.
"Now." Sora collected herself. "What's Matt?"
"He had a gig to go to. He said it was for a birthday party." Mimi answered.
"Matt? Doing a birthday party gig?" Sora lift an eyebrow.
"It was for a friend's niece, but she better keep her hands to herself or I'll be coming down there." Mimi smiled.
"Well, I'm glad you're doing good." Izzy was about to kiss her the cheek, but then he stopped. "Who kissed her here?"
T.K. raised his hand. Tai snapped his fingers in dismal while smiling.
Izzy sweatdropped, "Yeah, I know about the joke." He then kissed Sora on the forehead.
"We brought you flowers." Kari took the flowers from T.K. and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Sora took a smell. "They're beautiful."
"Good, I'm glad."
Sora rose an eyebrow, "Tai could you put this in water?"
Tai nodded, grabbed the flowers.
"Tai?" Sora fingered him to lean his ear to her. She whispered what the others couldn't hear.
Tai was taken aback, but he nodded with confusion on his face. He headed to the restroom. From the outside, the others heard the toilet flush. Then Tai came back, sat down by Sora's bad without the flowers.
A vein popped on Sora's temple, "I thought I told you to never buy flowers from that other shop."
Kari brought an innocent face, "Oh, I thought you wouldn't noticed."
Davis and T.K. sweatdropped with worry faces.
"You should try different things." Kari laughed with a nervous tone.
"Uh oh." Mimi responded.
"Uh, Sora? You can't really walk yet, could you?" Kari and the boys slowly backed to the door.
"No," She reached over beside her bed and took out what looked like her tennis racket, but broken. "Get out!"
"Well we have to get going and we're glad that you liked the flowers." Kari smiled.
The others ducked down while Kari and boys ran outside the door as a broken racket made contact to the door.
In the hall, "I think that went well." T.K. smiled.
*flashback end*
After Sora was release from the hospital, she chased them from the apartment to the park. They laughed all the way with Sora yelling at them. Kari smiled. She and the boys promised Sora that they wouldn't buy flowers from that shop again, but unless it was for a joke. Kari closed her eyes and continued to watch the outside the window. An old lady about the age of sixty came out of the shop, carrying a box of flowers. She brought it down and started to set up the flowers outside the shop. A large white truck came up the street, stopped in front of the shop. Kari watched as a man stepped out of the car to the old lady with a small box in his hands. The old lady wiped her hands and signed what the mailman gave to her.
The mailman was in his early twenties. His short brown hair shimmered over the blue sky. His eyes were brown. His large muscular body was shown over his uniform. Suddenly he took a glance to Kari's direction. He smiled his perfect white teeth and waved.
"Got anything for me!?" Kari asked from above.
"What's your address!?" he asked, smiling.
"Apartment number 24!"
The mailman glanced at his chart. Flipping through papers, he met Kari eye and shook his head, "Sorry, nothing today!"
"Who said that I was expecting something!?" Kari gave a mischief smile to the young mailman.
He laughed. He brought his hands to his hips, "You naughty girl." Then he waved good bye.
Kari did the same. She grabbed her purse.
"Where you heading to?"
Kari turned and found Bryan outside the restroom door.
"Getting something to eat. T.K. went to visit Mimi's and Davis headed off to a friends' house. You wanna come with me?"
"Sure."
Kari smiled. Bryan jumped ahead and opened the door for her. Kari was a bit surprised, but nodded her thanks. They walked to the elevator. Kari pushed the down button and elevator moved to their destination. Kari and Bryan walked from the complex. The two decided to walk since the diner was only two blocks.
"This one sounds good. I'll have the pancakes with butter and jam, the hash browns, and orange juice." Kari smiled to the waiter.
"All right."
"And I'll have the eggs, toast with cream, and bacon. And orange juice. Thanks." Bryan gave the menus to the waiter.
The waiter nodded as he wrote down the orders, then left.
"So, do you remember anything for the passed month?" Kari linked her hands together.
"Just bits of pieces. I think my name started with a 'S'."
"Better something, than nothing." Kari smiled.
"I never asked, but how was the party?"
Kari rolled her eyes, "Boring. First I thought my date was cool, but I figured he was acting cool because of his friends. I find out he's just one of those school kid nerd trying to impress his friends. He was talking about plants."
"Plants?"
"Yeah. I wished you could have came, then I would have someone to talk to."
"Where were T.K. and Davis?" Bryan took a drink from his glass of water.
"T.K. was off with his date. And Davis?…I don't know. I saw him before, but I guess he disappeared or something." Kari leaned against her palm.
"I wish I had came with you." Bryan flashed a nice smile.
Kari blinked, then blushed, "Umm, is our breakfast here yet?" She looked away.
The sun hanged lazily over the sky. The wind changed directions. The streets began to fill as the cars drove by, back and front. Most people traveled by foot. Heading to the coffeehouse, stores, or the dry cleaners. Bicyclist took to the street, annoying some of the drivers thinking they were the lords of the road. Red and green light switched continuously for the drivers to move on where they were heading. Small stores began to open as people walked around with cell phones, walking their dogs or sometimes cats on leashes, and reading the newspaper. Kari and Bryan walked passed some people. They talked as they headed to the apartment. Opening the door, Kari found Davis flipping through channels in the living room.
"Hey, Davis." As Kari and Bryan came into the apartment.
"Where did you guys go?" Davis asked.
"Out to eat. Where's T.K.?"
"Out looking for you." Davis turned his head back to the TV.
"What?"
"Yeah, I kept saying maybe you guys went to eat, but he wouldn't listen. So, he went out looking for you."
"When did he leave?" Kari reached the door.
"Dunno."
The door opened before Kari could reach the door. T.K. was panting deeply.
"Kari, where were you?" T.K. raised an eyebrow.
"Me and Bryan went out to eat. Why did you come looking for me?"
"I…I was just worried. I came home, but you weren't here…" T.K. raised his voice a bit.
"Geez T.K., take it easy. Bryan went with me, so don't worry." Kari walked to her room.
T.K. brought down his shoulders, his eyes sadly softened as his breathing came back to his level.
~o~
"Hmm, he looks hot." Mimi took a bite from her corndog.
"Mimi, I'm asking for help and all you can say 'he's hot?" T.K. signed.
"Sorry."
Ducks lingered around the grass and partly the pond in search of food. The pond itself held a breath taking state. It mirrored the wondrous blue sky and reflected every movement people made as they passed near the pond.
"T.K., we're here and what are you asking us for?" Matt asked.
T.K. shifted under his seat, he blushed, "Matt, when did you find out that you had feelings for Mimi?"
Matt and Mimi stared at each other, then back to T.K.
Matt scratched his head, "Well, after when Mimi came back from America, and we started hanging around with each other."
"Yeah, I would go to all his gigs to make up for all the gigs I missed while I was at America." Mimi added.
"Then I asked her out to see where our relationship was going." Matt smiled.
"Why do you ask, T.K.?"
"I…I'm not sure if I have feelings for someone."
"Oh…well, ask her out on a date." Matt suggested.
"Or just go to the movies." Mimi offered another suggest.
"Alone?"
"No, with your date."
T.K. looked down to his hands, "I could do that."
"Who's the girl?"
"…Kari."
"Where is she now?"
"At home. She's taking care of Bryan since he's sick with the flu."
"Well, go ask her out."
"I can't. She won't leave Bryan's side."
"Just ask. You won't know until you do."
T.K. looked at his brother, who nodded. Then he took a glance at his brother's girlfriend, Mimi also nodded.
T.K. smiled. With a nod, T.K. left the two to return home. He ran through the blocks of the streets and through the apartment complex to his place. He opened the door and found Davis at the kitchen, cooking what looked like soup.
"Sup man…could you pass me the salt?" He pointed to the salt at the table.
T.K. grabbed it and gave it to Davis, "Where's Kari?" T.K. all ready knew the answer.
"She's taking care of Bryan…oh, shit! Fuckin' thing!" Davis burned his hand.
T.K. walked to the room.
"Were yuu gowing?" Davis tried to say with his fingers in his mouth.
T.K. didn't respond, Davis just shrugged his shoulders and continued cooking.
T.K. lightly tapped the door.
"Come in." He heard Kari.
He came inside. Kari smiled at him. Bryan was sleeping peacefully. Kari sat on a chair, reading a book.
"I suppose he's doing good?" T.K. had his hands deep in his pockets.
Kari brought down the book, "Yeah." She yawned and stood up. T.K. moved as Kari walked to her room.
"Umm, Kari?" He brought his hand up.
Kari turned, "Yeah?"
T.K. looked away. He rubbed his head with his hand, "I was wondering if you wanna go catch a movie or something."
Kari smiled, "Sure, I would like that."
T.K. was a bit surprised, "Yeah?"
"Yeah." Kari nodded. "Just give me fifteen minutes." She closed the door to her room.
T.K. stared at her door, smiling dumbly all the way.
"Oh, my little boy's growing up." Davis said as he ruffled T.K.'s hair.
Pushing Davis' hand away, T.K. rolled his eyes as he moved to the kitchen. Davis grinned.
~o~
"T.K., remind me not to see a blank tape with no label ever again." Kari laughed.
"Ditto."
"You know, I think that was the scariest movie I ever saw. I don't know how you got me to watch it."
"People said that 'The Ring' is scary. Hell, it scared the shit out of me."
Kari laughed, "Thanks for taking me."
"No problem."
"T.K. stop here."
T.K. parked the car at the park, "Why?"
Kari got out of the car without a word. T.K. turned off the engine and followed the girl. Kari increased her pace. The blonde ran to catch up with her. The bright sun slowly turned into orange, giving the once blue to a bright unique purple and light red colors. The wind slowly rose its' force to the trees and city.
"There's this blue bird that reminds me of Bryan. I want to take a picture of it." Kari said.
"Oh." T.K. responded.
Kari took her picture, "Don't you think Bryan's cool? I think he is."
"…Yeah."
"He's really nice."
"Has he found out who he is."
"Not yet."
"Are you even helping him to remember?" T.K. rose an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about? Of course I am." Kari stared at T.K.
"I don't know, it looks like you don't him to remember."
"I don't understand." Her eyes softened.
"I'm saying you don't him to remember, so you can have him." T.K. raised his voice.
"T.K., don't be mad because I found someone. I will admit it to you, T.K. Yes, I waited for you, but I guess you didn't want our friendship to become something more." Tears threaten to fall.
"Kari, wait."
"No, T.K. I waited for you to say something to me for the longest time, but I guess I was wrong. You wanted to remain friends and nothing more."
"Kari, you don't understand. I-" T.K. wanted nothing more than to pour his feelings to this girl.
Kari laughed, "I feel so stupid."
"Kari…" T.K. whispered.
"I want to back home."
T.K. stopped with his head down. He nodded slowly. He and Kari returned to the car and drove home, where Kari went to Davis' room where Bryan was held.
Sorry for the wait. Tell me what you think. Review, please. Thank you…
