Chapter 6
Kari awoke from her slumber, almost screaming from the pain her ribs felt. She sat up, making the pain worse, worse enough to get a painful grunt from her.
She clenched her rib as though it were the burrier between life and death. and forced herself to a standing position. Opening the door quickly was Tai who heared Kari's grunt.
"Whoa Kari, lay back down! You need rest!"said Tai.
"I'm sick of being a weakling Tai. I have to tough this out, I can do"said Kari nearly stumbiling.
"Don't be ridicolous, that kinfe almost killed you. Now lay down!"said Tai.
Tai was confused as Kari closed her eyes, however things became clearer as tears fell from Kari's eyes, which looked like the eyes of an angel from in front of the glimmering sunlight.
"My body, it's been through so much. I don't think it can take much more. Please let me do this Tai. You have no idea how it feels, knowing that your body could give up when you least expect it and you find yourself dead before you're even aware of it. I'm scared, I don't want to die, yet I feel comfort from the thought"sobbed Kari.
"Hey, easy there Kari. You just need some rest and you'll be fine. Now please lay back down"said Tai as he helped Kari into bed and tucked her in.
"Get some sleep, we'll wake you when lunch is ready"said Tai.
Kari nodded and snuggled her head onto the pillow, feeling sleep knawing from within her head, the heavy warm blanket assisting as well.
After an hour of sleep, she felt a nudging at her legs. She opened her eyes, rubbing them to get a good vision.
"Sorry to wake you dear, but T.K's here to see you"said her aunt.
She closed the door behind him, and T.K stood directly next to the bed.
"Hey Kari, how are you?"asked T.K.
"I've been better"said Kari.
"Oh"said T.K.
A defeaning silence fell between them, one waiting for the other to say something. Finaly after a minute that seemed like a few minutes, T.K spoke up.
"So, how's your brother?"asked T.K without much confidence in his voice.
"Same as ever"
"Oh, well that's good"
Kari felt that nudge of guilt from within her, knowing that if she didn't apoligize then and there, she would carry this guilt for a long time.
"T.K, I'm sorry about the way I treated you before. And thanks for helping me"said Kari.
"Nah, no big deal Kari-
Before T.K could go on, Kari's aunt yelled up that Davis had arrived.
"Well, I better step out. Hope you get better"said T.K.
"Okay"said Kari waving.
Kari felt bitter that Davis interupted them just as they were getting to be friends again.
"Hey Kari, how are ya?"asked Davis.
"Fine"said Kari bitterly.
Seeing that Kari wasn't too happy to see him, he gave a slight wave and leaft quickly.
"Oh well, I guess that's it"thought Davis.
However as he continued walking home, Kari kept running through her mind, and Davis couldn't get her out.
Especialy that dream he had, the one where Kari told him they weren't meant to be. Davis grew depressed as he realized that not only would Kari not like him, but no other girls were either.
He had tried over and over with other girls. When he met Kari, it seemed like things were going to change as Kari was nicer and more gentle then those other girls, however she turned out to be as cruel as them. T.K had her instead, and almost all of his friends now had girlfriends except him.
Instead of going home, he went to the bench and sat down. The fact that Ken turned out to be a psycho really didn't help ease him, and in fact made him feel worse.
"I guess this world wasn't meant for me. I was better off not born at all"said Davis.
His eyes narrowed to a bridge, and he pictured himself falling off of it.
"Why not, maybe I'll do more good in the afterlife"said Davis walking over to it.
However his focus was lacking highly. All he could focus on was the bridge. That's when fate interveined.
BAM!
Davis couldn't grasp the situation as the car rammed into him, sending him flying back.
Davis felt the blood drool out of his mouth, his ribs and legs weren't responding to him.
Whoever drove the car had no sympathy as the driver just drove on like nothing happened.
Davis was laying face first on the ground, so could only hear as people rushed over to him.
"Oh my God, are you allright?"asked a woman kneeling over him.
"That no good bastard, the least you could do is check on the boy!"yelled a man.
Luckily the police parked right in front of the driver, causing the car to stop.
The police ordered the driver to come out:his math teacher!(Kari's a
He was screaming his head off about being doomed as a destroyer, and constantly attempted to smash his head on the car. The police stuffed him in the car and drove off.
An ambulance was called over and Davis was rushed to the hospital immidiately.

SLAM!
That's what every reporter who came to interview Kari got.
SLAM!
Soon enough, mobs of reporters were coming, however Tai had his aunt and uncle for backup and ordered them to leave them alone.
They kept coming back unti Kari's uncle got out his hunting rifle. That stopped them dead in their tracks.
Kari's uncle got his rifle ready as another knock came at the door, however he saw through the opening it was T.k.
"Hello boy. Sorry, you wouldn't believe how many reporters keep coming here. Kari's upstairs, don't be afraid to wake her if she's sleeping, I'm sure she wants to see you"said her uncle.
"Thanks"said T.K.
*************************************************
He turned the knob ever so slowly, sweat falling off his forehead like a water fall. His hand was bleeding badly, and he feared that his blood may run out at any moment.
Kari read the book with an adreniline rush, however put the bookmark in with a sigh of annoyance as T.K knocked at her door.
"Come in"said Kari.
"Kari, it's Davis. There's been an accident, he was hit by a car!"gasped T.K almost too quickly for his breath to take.
"Davis!"gasped Kari, feeling a small wind of guilt.
"Yeah, I just saw him in the hospital. He's been there for a few hours and he's not doing too well! My brother isn't home and neither were my parents, so I had to talk to someone about it"said T.K.
"Is he gonna make it?"asked Kari.
"They didn't say, though the odds don't look on Davis's side"said T.K.
Kari felt awful. Had he hurt Davis's feelings to the point where he lost focus and was hit? All he wanted to do was check on her and she told him off because she interupted her time with T.K.
"I'm sorry"said Kari.
"I should be sorry, I heared you've had troubles of your own with those reporters"
"Well Tai and my aunt and uncle saw that they didn't cause too much trouble"said Kari with a giggle.
T.K giggled too, as he could only imagine what the scene was like.
"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you about Ken. I was such a fool. I wanted so badly to believe he was a desent person. I wanted to believe he was a victim like me, and that he was wrongly accused"said Kari.
"Well whether he was or not, the important thing is that he'll never bother you again"said T.K.
Kari and T.K both stopped when they heared a bump at the downstairs door.
"Oh my God, are you allright?"asked Kari's uncle.
"T.K, help me up, I wanna see"said Kari.
T.K helped Kari onto his shoulder and walked her out, stopping whenever she gave a cringe of pain.
Kari and T.K held backa gasp as they saw Yolie lying on the floor, battered and bruised.
"What happened?"asked Kari's uncle.
"Some guy grabbed me into an alleyway, and raped me. When I fought back, he beat me hard. I had to find a house where someone could help me. He's still after me"said Yolie.
Just then, a drunk man in his 30's stormed in, however Kari's uncle was all set and slashed the rifle acroos, smacking the man's head and causing him to stumble back out the door.
"It's allright, you'll be safe here. You can wait here for a few hours while I call the police on this guy"said Kari's uncle as the drunk man ran off.
Kari signaled for T.K to hlp her back into her bed.
"I don't get it, is the city always like this? Ever since I came here things-
"Don't blame yourself, things like this happen all the time. We better not mention it right now"he said.
