Does it Really Matter That Much?
Chapter 5.
"...Matt the thing is, I think...well erm that you were...were right about Kaori. She's not herself anymore. I hope she wont do anything stupid. It's all scince Izzy... Izzy died. And man, im worried about you too." Tai said a face completely filled with concern and a love. But not the love I was expecting. It was the love for his freinds, and the emotion of a lost one.
"Why are you worried about me?" I asked slightly above a whisper.
"Because you're my best friend and I care, Matt c'mon talk to me." he moved closer next to me. But being the cold one I moved away, even though I so desperatly wanted him to hold me.
He was right though. Scince Izzy had died no-one of us had been the same. But we did what we always did. Put on a front, a fake smile so people would leave us alone with our thoughts. Kaori was normally the best at this, but now, she wasn't coping. I could tell.
"Im worried too. 'Bout Kaori. She's the most depressed out of anyone. I've never seen her like it." I hoped Tai would get off the subject off me, and focus on the problem we had facing us.
"I know. But then, her and Izzy were so close. I can understand what she's feeling. I mean, if you died or got well... y'know. I'd be upset. I'd want to be back with you. Life'd be so dull!"
I nodded in response.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew open the door and Kari flew inside. She caught her breath and panting slightly she said
" Murderer, found. Izzy, not dead."
"WHAT?" we both shouted.
"Yeah, Izzy was sent straight to hospital and a rumour started that he had died, obviously that got back to Kaori."
"How do you know this?" Tai asked suspiciously.
"Well me and, and a friend were at the hospital visiting some old lady we'd voluntered to help out at school. Anyways, when we saw him getting a drink we thought it was a ghost, but it was him. Go get Kaori and meet us at the hospital in an hour okay?" and with that she ran back outside, slamming the door behind her.
I ran to Tai and hugged him. We both started jumping around like idiots. We couldn't believe it. It was like someone had given us a chance, given Kaori a chance to be happy again. For real.
I ran over to the phone and dialled the numbers to Kaori's house number. After three rings she picked up, sounding miserable.
"Hey Kaori, I've got good news!"
"Yeah, what could that be?" She asked.
"Izzy. He's in hospital. He's not dead. It was all just a rumour!"
"What, Matt why would you say something like that?"
"Because I thought you'd want to hear that Izzy didn't die. That it was a mistake." I was confused.
"Stop saying that! You're supposed to be one of my best friends, why are you being so creul?" She was angry now.
"I thought you'd be happy about it." I said quietly.
"Why would I be happy about this kind of horrid joke Matt?" She screamed. Why was she like this?
"Because It's not a joke."
"I was there, I should know!" She screamed. Then fell silent, as if she had said something wrong.
"What do you mean?" I aksed patiently.
"I mean..I was there. When it happened. Someone ran out of the building and told me. I was going to meet Izzy like I normally did. I was the one that found him Matt...dead." She hung up. I could tell she was crying by the way she had spoke her last word. I had to get over there.
"Tai, I've got to go see Kaori."
"I'm coming too." and with that we both ran all the way to Kaori's home. Without stopping. There was a gloomy shadow around the house. That was not a good sign, I thought to myself. We both walked up toward the front door and knocked carefully. The door was open, unusual for Kaori, so we walked in. The was an eerie silence. And not one of us liked it at all.
"Kaori, where are you?" I heard a groan coming from the next room. I walked in there, Tai followed me.
The sight I saw was a scene of death, panic and all other bad emotions. I gasped in horror. Tai did the same. She was just lying there. Her body limp and hair wrapped around her pale face. She seemed to be nursing a wrist. A wrist that was cut. Cut with a sratchy knife by her side. That arm was covered in blood. It was like it had been sliced more than a million times. Why would she do this. It wasn't right.
Tai ran over to the phone and dialled the emergency number. He stated what had happened calmly. I was still in utter shock. Slowly, my friends were diapearing. It was true that one had 'come back'. But now another was just fading away. This made me realise I had to tell Tai. Before it was too late.
Well, I know that chapter was rubbish, but please review what you think. I know it wasn't what you were expecting at all, but I like keeping my readers in suspence. Even if I do a poor job at it! Well please review, and until next chapter, bye bye! xXx!
