Scared for Life Chapter 3 By: Duobat218
We were at the hospital for what seemed like hours with no word. Just silence between us as we sat there. I held his trembling hand. I felt like we were little again, when our parents would yell and scream and T.K. would crawl into my bed and I would hold his small trembling body and calm him down.
"Its ok." I told him, even though i knew that the wasn't the case. Finally a doctor came and I looked up. He wore a grim statement, like he had done this many times and possibley even enjoyed it. After the first few words the rest were a blur.
"Tried everything... relapse caused by something shocking....very sorry..... couldn't save him." So that was it then? A lump formed in my throat. Hundreds of angry thoughts formed in my mind. T.K. looked sad but didn't cry. He didn't care!
"T.K. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU KILLED MOM AND NOW YOU KILLED DAD TOO!" I yelled, snapping at him without even relilzing it. In total shock he took off running. "Oh god. What did I do?" I ran after him. He got into an elevator and I was just about to jump in too when a woman got infront of me.
"Ohhhh your Matt! That cutie from the Teenage Wolves! Can I have your autograph?" She seemed so happy so i scribbled it and began to search for my brother. I finally found a nurse on the second floor who had seen him.
"This high, all in black?"
"Bathroom." She pointed. As soon as I got in there I knew what he was doing. There was a trail of blood leading to a stall and a I could hear him crying.
"T.K. I'm so sorry. Let me in!" He didn't answer but gave another small yelp followed by some
banging. I slammed the door with my shoulder, breaking the lock. He was banging his head on the stall. T.K. was sitting on the toliet, arms cut all the way up almost to his shoulders, blood dripping down in a total mess. Even the knife handled was covered in the crimson liquid. T.K. was sobbing and I picked him up like he was a little kid. I brought him over to the sink and washed the blood off while trying to stop it. I sat him down in the corner and found a nurse. I asked her for a robe and put it over T.K.'s clothes so no one would stare at his arms. A little
later we were sitting in chairs and he was leaning his head on me.
"It was never your fault. You couldn't have done anything for either of them." I hugged his
shivering body. "Look I'm gonna go Tai for a ride home. I really don't feel like driving." He nodded and I went to the phone.
"Yea Tai.. its Matt. We are at the hospital. Yea dad just passed away. Second heart attack. Can you give us a ride home I really don't think I can drive with a straight head tonight." He said he would and offered to let us spend the night so T.K. would have someone to talk to.
"Hey Tai's gonna come get us. He said we can spend the night." He said nothing but I could still feel him shaking and small tears ran down his cheeks.
Tai came and got us. Having explained the situation to his mom before hand, she left us alone. Tai set up the couch for me and gave T.K. his bunk. Tai said he'd sleep on the floor in the living room with me. Kari was up for a while talking to T.K. and putting bandaids on all his cuts.
As for me I refused to cry. I sat on the couch a while starring at the walls. A million thoughts raced through my mind.
"Whats wrong Matt?" Tai asked but then blushed because he knew it was a stupid question.
"Its just everything. T.K. is a legal orphan now. I'm not because I'm 18. I'll have to take care of him! I can't believe dads gone.." I rambled on and on. I hadn't relised it but as I spoke my eyes filled with tears. "Its too much responsibility." Tai got up and sat on the couch. I could feel his arms wrap around me as I begain to cry on his shoulder. Any other time and this would be akward but now this was what I needed. Comfort. "Thanks Tai."
I woke up the next morning and found that I was laying down. I hadn't even remebered falling asleep. Tai was on the floor sleeping in his normal, akward position, which, for only a moment, caused me to chuckle. His mom was making breakfast. Just then Kari came out of her room.
"How is he?" I asked her.
"He had a rough night. Hes awake though." She nodded towards the door and I went in.
"Hey how you doin?" I asked. He looked terrible. As he leaned over I could see his swollen eyes. His arms were very cut up but covered in bandaids. He looked very tired. Kari came back with two plates and I left so they could eat alone. Not much was said for a while.
But strangely, life went on.....
It has been a while now since all that happened. I was finally able to go to college with the help of Tai'smom. She watched T.K. when I'm in class, and Kari is happy to have him around. I live at home now, and became T.K.'s offical guardian. We sat on my bed for the one year aniversary of my fathers death.
"Has it been that long? It seems like only yesterday." He asked. He was a lot diffrent now. He had been seeing help now. The scars will never leave him though. T.K. has been making out pretty well though. Just the other day I caught him on Kari's bed,
they were making out. Its funny how I see him as though he is my own kid. I feel like I have to protect him all the time.
"Yea. A full year. You think maybe we should vist the grave?" I asked and he nodded. When he got up he dislodged some of the junk on the floor.
"Go on ahead in the car, there something I have to do first. I'll be right out." I said and he walked out. I picked up the shiny metal that was now showing in the spot where the clothing had been moved. Elastic banded to it was a piece of Scarlet material that has a deep red spot on it. I hastily shoved the gun under my bed and ran out to join my brother.
And so it ends! Or does it? heh, remeber, if you read it, review it!
Hope you enjoy it and read and review!
