It had been a long, long three weeks. The days dragged by. Once Kai had gone to the hospital, that was before she had woken, he had only caught one glimpse of her; hooked up to a life support, arm in a cast, body battered and bruised. He had seen her mother too, sitting diligently beside her daughter. When she had caught sight of Kai, he was surprised at the amount of anger he saw in her usually cheerful eyes.
He had left quickly, unable to stay in the knowledge that she was in that condition because of him.
The first day he had gone back to school, Mariah, as he had predicted, had cornered him and yelled at him in front of practically their entire homeroom. Kai merely sneered at her and shoved her aside, keeping up a pretence of indifference. His pride still would not allow his feelings to be revealed, particularly to the annoying pink haired gossip.
The news spread like fire throughout the school that Hael had finally woken up, she had said nothing to the police, claiming concussion, as to who had lead her there, and she would soon be returning to the school.
Of course, Tala gleefully awaited her return, which made Kai feel like fire was running through his veins. His red headed friend had seen the news report which had clearly stated her blindness, but still he seemed bent of being cruel to her.
"Its your chance to tell her how you really feel!" he told Kai, not knowing the emotional trauma those simple ten words instilled in the navy haired teen.
How he really felt..... oh if it were that simple. But, these things never were. Tala clearly thought that Kai held as much dislike for her as he did.
When the day finally did come, Kai was caught completely off guard, he was standing beside his locker, Tala with him. He had arrived early for once. He had no idea anyone was behind him, until he heard her voice.
"Kai."
It felt like a hand had reached out and clamped over his heart, squeezing it painfully, the blood in his veins seemed to freeze. After his pause his slowly turned around, what he saw even surprised him.
There she stood, her hair hanging rather limply around her shoulders, her grey, vacant eyes dull, her arm was in a sling and bruises grazes marred her delicate flesh.
He said nothing to her, but, he didn't need to, it was almost as if she had sensed she had his complete attention.
"I don't know why you did what you did Kai, but I do know that you didn't want to do it, that's why I'm giving you a choice." From the stern and rushed tone of her voice, Kai knew this was the kind of speech she will have been planning and going through before she saw him, but what did she mean by a choice?
"I want you to tell me Kai, tell me that you love me, as I seem to love you. I know you feel it Kai," She said these words, not boastfully, not trying to sound like she was full of herself, but merely stating them as a fact. By now, a few others had caught onto the conversation and had stopped to listen. "But, if not, then I will turn around right now, and You'll never have to be bothered by me again."
The auburn eyes blinked, did she mean this? After everything he had done, she was willing to take him back? Did she not remember the fact that he had left her, to a possible death in those mines? He was not worthy of such tender forgiveness or such great affection that she would overlook his cruelty. He opened his mouth to reply, but, then she suddenly became painfully aware of Tala's presence, plus a few other early students.
He could feel the rising battle which had been present in him for the last few weeks, rallying and clashing within him again.
Affection versus Pride.
How could he choose? The girl before him, ugly, battered and unseeing had captured his heart, while his pride and reputation which he had held for years as his crown and glory determinedly struggled for dominance in his mind.
Tala smirked, he looked at the bitch before him, he was unsure why he disliked her so much, she must be delusional, did she really think Kai liked her?!
"Hah!, you're insane and ugly!" he sneered at her, "Kai merely played you for a f.."
"Shut up!" Hissed Kai, his voice furious, how dare Tala interrupt this?
As his anger rose, his pride fought harder, this was the final showdown of emotions.
He winced.
He had felt it, one side had fallen, and one side now reigned throughout him.
He turned back to the blind Russian.
"You know," He said gently to her, "Tala..... is totally right! I never liked you Hael, your as blind to peoples true intentions as you are to their appearances! You're a trusting fool, and I merely took advantage of that. I would do it again you know..... again, and again and again. You think I love you? I never have, someone like you isn't even worth my time!" He said.
Silence.
Hael wasn't looking at Kai, her eyes were trained downwards, but her voice, although it was barely above a whisper, was clearly heard.
"So this is it Kai, this is the real you?" she shook her head, "I don't believe you... I am not blind to what you feel Kai, you like to think you are cold and uncaring, but I really can see your true colours, I.."
"You really are stupid!" Kai interrupted, unable to stand the fact that every word she spoke was correct. The grey eyes locked with his, and it surprised him, they were boring into his own. She had never looked at him so clearly, normally her vision would look somewhere over his shoulder..... but now, it was like she was looking at his soul. He could see every emotion she was feeling, and it crushed his heart to see what she felt at his next words.
"I. Hate. You."
Hael turned away from him.
"Fine," She said, her tone indifferent, "if that is true then, I will keep to my word."
A tear ran down her cheek, which she wiped away. Then, without looking back, the sightless girl walked out of the school. As Kai watched her leave his life, a terrible pain erupted in his chest. There was still time! He could go after her and explain to her his foolish pride, tell her what she wanted to hear.... But..... he didn't.
Within minuets, she was gone.
