Tala glanced up as Kai stormed in. His friend perhaps, was more angry now than he had been after any of his previous encounters with the bronze haired Russian. The blue haired teen entered the large living room, but his face twisted in distaste and turned back around when he saw the smirking boy relaxing on his sofa. Of course, Tala didn't let him get far.

"Well?" he asked.

"Well what?!" Snapped Kai, Tala was the last person on Earth that he wanted to talk to at the moment.

"You know what. Did you do it?"

Kai sighed, and his shoulders sagged, he closed his eyes.

"Yes, I did it." He said, slowly turning and slouching down beside his friend.

"Good, did the bitch freak?" He asked, sick delight dancing in his eyes. Kai growled, barely able to contain his fury at Tala which was rising in his chest. He didn't speak in case he spilled out something he would regret, so he merely shrugged. Tala frowned in disappointment.

"Hn, you mean you didn't stay to see? That takes all the fun out of it." He said.

"Whatever," Kai snapped, "I'm going to bed, so that's your Q to get the Hell out of my house." He said, standing and walking out. All he wanted to do was sink into a pit of oblivion, in which he could forget everything; the total trust, the confusion in her voice, the terrified screams...

'Last night, at the mines just out of town, a girl was pulled, barely alive from the wreckage left after a cave-in'

Kai froze in the door of his room. It was the next morning and he had the breakfast news on while he got ready for school. He had been able to almost push the events of the night before from his mind, he had been about to leave when those words stopped him.

He spun around and turned the volume up.

"Shit, shit, shit!" He hissed as the story unfolded.

'the unconscious teen has been identified as Hael Kinyonova, a student at the local high school. She was rushed to hospital, but is still in a critical condition, and although the doctors are confident in her recovery, she is still in intensive care.'

At this point a picture flashed up of a bronze haired girl, wearing a stunning dress, laid out on a stretcher, and oxygen mask covered her face, one of the bones in her arm poked out at an odd angle, there was cuts and bruises all over her and her eyes were closed.

'Officials suspect the cave-in might have been due to the noise that the girl could have been making. The mines were found to be unstable eight years ago and declared to be out of bounds, they have been a high danger area since then. Hael Kinyonova has only recently moved to this area, and the police have suspicions that she was lead down there, as she is completely blind she would have been unable to find her way down there alone, however, they can not yet be sure, as she has not yet regained consciousness to give any evidence.'

Kai spun and left his room, he was panicking. What had he done?! She was in a critical condition because of him. No longer caring about school, he grabbed his keys and prepared to head to the hospital, but before he could leave, a knock on his door stopped him. He snarled, he didn't have time for this, he was going to ignore it, but the pounding continued.

Kai gave in and threw the door open, about to give the person on the other side a verbal beating, however, he couldn't as before he could even open his mouth, a fist connected with his jaw.

Groaning, the blue haired teen sat up, and winced, framed by the light of the day which was filtering through the door, was a tall, broad figure. As his eyes adjusted he realised who it was.

Dane growled in fury and bent down, grabbing the younger boy and dragging him to his feet.

"You little bastard! You left her there!" He hissed, his dark eyes dangerously narrow, "What the Hell has she ever done to you to deserve something like that!?"

Kai lowered his eyes, there was nothing to say. He couldn't say that he didn't want to do it, because a part of him had, the part of him which hated weakness and loved pride. He couldn't give an explanation which would merit his actions, because what he had done was nothing more than disgusting.

Unfortunately his silence merely infuriated Dane further. Kai moaned as he felt his body slammed into the wall, and flinched as Dane spat on him in contempt. He never thought, that this would be him, with the saliva running down his cheek, perhaps he could have seen himself doing this to another, but never the other way around. Him, Kai, one of the most feared boys in school, everyone spoke behind his back, but then begged to be his friend. Kai was the type of guy who would give anything to keep his reputation in tact, even if that thing was the one person he had started to truly care about, and he had.

The teen slowly raised his hand and dashed away the dribble of wetness, and locked eyes with Dane, still silent.

"She trusted you with all her heart, she believed what ever lies it was that you spun for her. She has been bullied all her life, and she finally found somewhere, someone who she thought would accept her. How could you take her hopes and crush them the way you did!" He snarled. His sister had been innocent, trusting, a total wide-eyed and star-crossed virgin, young, delicate and a strong believer of second chances. Dane was different, if someone comitted a cruel deed then he always hypothesized that that person would do it again just as easily. His thoughts came mainly from the way his younger sister had been treated over the years, treated by guys like Kai who got some kind of twisted kick out of bullying.

He released the boy's collar, allowing him to slouych against the wall, before he stormed out, the sound of the door crunching into it's frame reverbrated around the mansion.

Kai slowly lowered himself to the floor. What to do now.... All thoughts of going to the hospital left his mind, what would he have done there anyway? Made friendly conversation with the girl's mother?! Would he have waited for her to wake? And if so, what would have done when she saw him? What would he have said to her? Would he have been able to stand that pain- filled, and betrayed look her unseeing eyes would cast in his direction? He sighed.

Kai was no longer sure of what he was feeling. Lately his mind and heart had been awash with so many strange emotions. Emotions which were new to him, emotions which he was unsure of how to handle. But, now, instead, there was something much, much worse; nothing. It was strange, he felt a wide emptiness in the cavity in his chest which had once held the wild firestorm of confusing and infuriating feelings.

What to do now...

He was unsure whether or not he could handle school. Max, Ray, Mariah and Emily would surely have guessed his hand in the foul plot. Their friend was in hospital because of him, and no matter his social status, they would none the less male his life as Hellish as possible. He laughed dryly to himself.

Perhaps these were the kind of things Hael felt. A strange fear on not being accepted. True, he had never been their particularly favourite person, but no one ever dared to speak up against him, but he was sure in this case that they would.

Kai idly fondled his jaw line, running his rough hands over the bruise that was forming from the impact of Dane's fist. Kai played with the idea of just staying in that desolate position all day, there was nothing better to do. But of course, he swiftly discarded that notion. What had he become? He was Kai, and he was not the type to wallow in a pit of self pity. With great emotional and physical difficulty he managed to haul himself to his feet. School would be a good enough distraction, despite Hael's friends.

Friends..... she had true friends, what did he have? Tala? He was no friend, he was just another domineering figure in the schools social and political web, like him. They had no friends, they just had fear. No.. Kai had had one friend, one person who had wanted him, really wanted him. Someone who he had wanted too, beneath all the self denial, someone who he had refused to allow himself, and had forced himself to leave in that mine....

Kai blinked and slowly shook himself out of his thoughts, grabbing his keys, he left for school.
