Secrets to be Told
Chapter 6: Tears and a Song
Tyson laid in a hospital bed, hooked up to many wires and IVs. He was asleep so he didn't feel when the nurses put them on him. He was alone in the room, with the window was open so a cool breeze could come thru. There was a small table, and couch. Also a TV hung from the ceiling. Outside it was night, about 10 PM, and the stars filled the black sky. No motion came from Tyson's fragile body, but the slow moving of his chest. A clear liquid dripped from the IV bag into the wire that connected to his vein in his left wrist.
Out in the hallway, at the nurse's desk, the nurses were talking and softly laughing at an occasional joke coming from a young patient in wheel chair. She had soft ocean blue eyes and rosy cheeks, but no hair, but her wide smile made that up. She was at least 14, but was too weak to walk. This was one of the many teenage patients on that floor.
In the waiting room down the hall the bladebreakers, the Fallen Angels, and the Grangers, even Grandpa, was sitting, listening to the silence. Kailana sat in a chair alone in a corner looking out the window. She still had her concert clothes on, and her eyes were red from her also silent tears. Kai also sat in an isolated corner, but he was watching Kailana as she would shift when she got uncomfortable. He wanted to go by her and hug her until, she smiled up at him. But, he was afraid they would have a fight again, or he would hurt her. Mika watched them both, wanting to yell at Kai or Lana to say sorry. But, no one said anything, unless you counted a sigh or yawn.
The doctor came into the gloomy room, and looked at everyone. Not looking very happy himself. Kouji looked up from his sleeping wife. Who woke up when he shook her. The doctor walked toward the large group of people. Knowing that just a few hours ago they were all happy, but now he had to bring probably the saddest news known to man.
"Well, good evening everyone." Everyone looked at him with a hopeful look. "Let's see, the tests for Mr. Tyson Granger came back. And well I have them with me right now." Kailana looked at him edging him on. "It appears that young Mr. Granger has CML." The only person who what that meant was Kouji and he stood up right away, as the doctor explained. "Its Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, it's usually a very rare disease but it appears it got this one young man. It develops slowly usually, but Tyson's is developing quite fast. As much as I could tell he had for the last 8 months, at first it was slow though. He must've hid for quite sometime, if only know it shows its face. You see Leukemia starts as a cold or flu, which I read your usual doctor said he had."
"Are you sure of this?" asked Kouji suddenly taking a step forward. Everyone watched him, but Kailana stared rested on the doctor tears in her eyes.
"Yes, I'm very sure the test in 98% correct. He also has the symptoms, tiredness, short of breath, being pale, infections, joint pains, mild fever, heavy bleeding from small cuts, easily bruising, and some cuts from at least 8 months ago are still there, not really healed. I'm very quite sure Mr. Granger."
Kouji nodded, "Thank you doctor. Is there a cure, which we could get?"
"Yes, chemotherapy can induce long periods of remission, but we will need to give him a stem cell transplant." Explained the doctor calmly.
"He'll lose his hair through that right?" whispered Kailana, now staring out the window again.
"Most likely, but some patients are lucky enough to keep theirs." The doctor replied. No one noticed as Kai slipped out the door and left them to be alone. Only one person saw him as he left and that was Kailana, she only saw a glimpse of his scarf as he walked out the door.
"Kai..." She thought and ran after him. No one followed knowing at the moment she probably wanted to be alone. Not even knowing she was in fact following Kai.
She followed Kai up to the roof and found him standing very close to the edge of the building. It almost looked like he was going to jump; Lana's heat almost skipped a beat.
"Kai..." She started but he cut her off without turning.
"This is my fault, that's what you said didn't you?" He asked. She watched as he slowly turned his head towards her. She could see his eyes were glassy.
"Oh, Kai...I didn't mean...I..." She whispered.
"I know what you mean and you were right. I have trained them too hard, I am their leader and yet I treat them as if they are not good enough...especially Tyson. Do want to know why, why I train you the way I do?" He asked but didn't wait for her to reply. "I was raised in the abbey since I was 5 this you know, you were treated just the same as I. You were even there once. Then, when I was asked to take over the Bladebreakers training I trained them as I was trained only without the beatings. They do not know what happened at the abbey, they have not seen the scars on me and if I can help it they never will. As leader of them I should have realized he was not feeling well and made a point to demand care for him. But I did not," Kai explained.
"I should never have said those things. I was in the wrong not you," Kailana told him reaching for his arm. He stepped away to the side and looked into her eyes shaking his head.
"Stay away from me Kailana. I do not know if I can stop myself from hurting you again," Kai told her quietly. Her hand went to her cheek realizing her tears had washed away the make-up she had used to cover up the red mark that had formed after he had hit her. Her pupils thinned.
"You didn't mean it...It was because I said what I did."
"No! That's what I'm really like Kailana. You have to face that, now you have to stay away from me. And don't look back; I can't stand to see you hurt again. Go now," Kailana stood her ground. "Go, stop being such an ass and go!" Dranzer's essence could be seen building around Kai.
"Fine," Kailana said. "I respect your wish and stay out of your sight." With that Lana ran away from Kai down the stairs and back into the hospitals white walls.
Kai looked away, from Kailana's flying black and blue hair; he was once again ashamed of himself.
___~~~___
Kailana sat in Tyson's room by the open window. Watching as Jasmine fixes his blankets for the fifth time and her father watch the monitors.
A while ago Mr. Dickenson came and talked to Kouji about Tyson's health. He left, a little shaken up too. As for everyone else, Sydney, Kisa, Kenny, and Hilary left. Hilary at first fought with Jasmine about staying, but she insisted that she go and rest. They almost made Kailana leave, but she gave her parents a glare telling them to leave her be. The rest stayed by in the room, refusing to leave to go until Lana's parents and Lana did.
Her parents slowly realized what time it was on the clock, 11:45 PM. Kouji touched his sleeping son's hand then went over to Kailana, as Jasmine got the others up and out the room.
"C'mon on honey, let's go home. We'll come back in the morning," He whispered kindly.
"No," Kailana said it so softly that Kouji almost didn't hear her. "No, dad I'm staying here. I...I don't want to leave him daddy."
"Kailana, you know that they'll notify us if he wakes up."
"I know, but I'd feel better if I was with him. Please." Kouji sighed, looking into his daughter's jade eyes; she looked so much like her mother.
"Alright, I'll see if I could bring a cot in." Kouji left the room, letting Kailana watch him.
A minute later he came back, seeing Kailana staring outside at the stars. "The cot is coming right in the hallway hun. Just take when your ready." Kailana nodded still looking outside. Kouji walked up to his daughter and kissed her on the forehead, "Good night, call me if you need me to come and get you." Kailana nodded again and gave her father a small smile. He smiled back and slowly left the room. Lana heard the nurses wish him a good night in the hallway as he left the hospital for the night.
Kailana got up and took the cot from the hallway; she set it up not far from Tyson's bed. The room wasn't small it was at least 13'x28' so it was pretty big since Tyson was alone. When Kailana finished with the cot, she didn't sit or lay on it, but she took a chair and put it next to Tyson's bed.
She played with his blankets at first, just fiddling around with the cloth with her fingers. Once in while she would look up at her brother's peaceful face, looking to see if his eyes were open. But, they never were, not one movement was made by him.
At least not until 2 in the morning, Kailana was still up although her head was resting on the bed, staring off towards the wall. At first she felt someone push her with their leg. When she looked up his eyes weren't open, but he was smiling.
Being careful Lana jabbed him in the leg, his brown eyes shown as he slowly opened them.
"Hey," Tyson's voice was scratchy and tired.
"Hey sleepy head, how are you feeling?" smiled Kailana.
"Like shit." Kailana giggled a little, "How long was I asleep?"
"For the last 8 hours." Tyson sighed, and watching as Kailana laid her head on his leg.
"Why aren't you home?"
"I want to be with you that's why." Tyson opened his mouth to ask about Kai but Lana interrupted him. "Don't ask me, about him Ty." Tyson looked at her and dropped the topic. "Tyson, why did you hide it, why did you hide the fact that you were really sick? What you did was dangerous."
"I didn't want to worry you."
"Tyson..."
"But, I'm scared Kailana, what's wrong with me? At the concert, the room was spinning, I was so dizzy."
"Ty," Kailana reached for her brother's hand. "You......you have......you have leukemia."
Tyson didn't know what to do or say, but all his body wanted to do was sleep. He looked at Kailana and slowly closed his eyes, but he didn't fall asleep, he held onto Lana's hand afraid to let go. She held it in return, and watched over him.
"Lani?"
"Hai?"
"Do you remember how mom sang, before we went to bed? She always would sing to us. Remember?"
"Hai," Whispered Kailana, remembering how beautiful her mother's singing voice was.
"Can you sing that one song Kailana, the one that she loved to sing? Please, just once, for I can hear the words again."
Kailana smiled and nodded her head. She started to sing, quietly, softly, and Tyson listened.
[[Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless then maybe
I'll find some peace tonight]]
Out in the hallway, silent footsteps come down the hall. They stopped in Tyson's doorway, but no one notices.
[[In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here]]
Tears fall down Kailana's cheeks as she continues to sing. In the hall Kai could hear her singing.
[[So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here]]
Kailana finished the song, and when she looked up she saw that Tyson was asleep. Then she looked up at the door way and saw Kai. Slowly she put Tyson's hand on his chest, and stood up.
When she got to Kai, he looked at her. His face was saddened; he took a few steps into the room. "Kailana..." Kai stopped; Kailana had taken hold of Kai and was now hugging him.
"I'm sorry Kai, please forgive me. Please, I can't.......can't stop thinking of you." Kai just stood there hugging Kailana back. "I can't........can't do this alone. I don't want to watch Tyson suffer, I don't want to be alone, please don't leave me alone." Kailana slipped out of Kai's arms down to her knees, crying.
Kai kneeled down holding her and her tears fell, "I won't leave you, I won't ever leave you again. I promise you that. I promise," He whispered in her ear. Kailana cried her eyes out, and the entire time Kai held her. But in his mind Kai had to try hard to stop himself from saying what he was thinking, 'As long as I don't hurt you.'
