Many weeks passed and the spring break turned into many laborious weeks of teachers and books. Momo hardly ever slept anymore, staying at the hospital to do her homework by Kiley's bed. Conversing with the doctor about Kiley's current status. Comforting his family when it was she who needed the comforting too. Kiley was her life now. When Toji left her, she wanted to die. Then Kiley saved her by keeping her mind off of Toji and Sae, now Kiley was sleeping. Sleeping like a child, a thinning but still beautiful child.

The students at school began to talk about Kiley's unfortunate accident. Jokes were made and of course the accusations from his fan club. People began to shun her, so many old classmates that knew her from middle school avert their eyes. No one stood up for her.

The accusers were smarter now. Before, Kiley was always with her so no one would dare speak to her or act this way towards her in his presence. Since Toji was always with Sae, He could not protect her, he was just never around. These accusers and abusers learned from their mistakes, they are much smarter now.

Spring turned into summer and that, of course, lead to summer vacation. Momo was thrilled. She was going to spend even more time with Kiley. Being near him even while he was asleep was not quite as great as when he was awake, but she wouldn't pass it for the world. Kiley needed her here, his family was barely around, and Kiley needed her.

Momo spent hours by his bedside and smiled when she saw his smiling face. He would wake any minute now, she thought. She was hell bent on staying, only her mother's desperate plea to eat and sleep would bring her home. But even then she was worried that Kiley would wake and not see her there in the middle of the night. She became worried and barely slept.

The worrying Momo received a phone call one night, a call that would kill her. A phone call from one of Kiley's family members.

"Momo, Momo wake up, you have an urgent call from the Kileys." Momo's mom said near her bed.

Momo opened her eyes, she wasn't asleep, just pretending for her worried mother. She said her thanks and took the call. Only saying hello when her mother closed the door tightly.

"Hello?" Said Momo, her voice tired and worried.

"Momo...I have some bad news."

"What?! What's wrong with Kiley?!" She shouted, tears fell from her already red and puffy eyes.

"The doctor found something out...Something about Kiley's brain response."

"What?! What are you saying, Just tell me!"

"Kiley's brain is responding to pain. He's in pain...We needed to speak to you since, since we know that you care."

Momo was sobbing when she hung up on the person on the other side. She ran outside and ran to the hospital. Momo's mother tried to stop her but she couldn't. Momo just needed to see Kiley alive one last time before his family makes a rash decision. She didn't care if her nightgown was too short, she didn't care about the catcalls or the blue car that slowly trailed her. She only wanted her Kiley with her. She wanted him so she ran to him. She just wanted to get there, to see him. She just needed him.

She ran into the hospital and ran passed the thin pasty receptionist. She ran passed security guards and nurses. She ran to his room and opened the door to see his family around him. They looked at her, her teary face and her short nightgown. Her bare feet, which were bleeding from, glass and sharp rocks on the ground she ran on. She was breathless and she was crying hard.

"Momo" Someone said in surprise. A nurse came over and tried to look at her feet. She pushed her away and walked over to Kiley. His family parted for her.

"He doesn't look like he's in pain...You lie!" She yelled. She wiped her tears quickly, she won't cry around Kiley.

"He's paralyzed, he can't make any facial expression. But his brain says that he is feeling some sort of pain" Said a doctor.

She fell to her knees and clutched onto Kiley's hand.

"I won't let you take him!" She wailed.

"But he's in pain Momo!" Said a sobbing family voice.

"I've hit him so many times! He can take it! I swear, just let him stay, he'll wake up I promise!!!" She begged.

"Momo..." Someone said that but she wasn't sure. She fell backward from exhaustion.

When Momo woke up, her mother Sae and Toji were by her side. Toji and Sae quickly unclasped their hands and it made Momo smile softly with amusement.

"How long have I been out?" She asked.

"Three days...You should eat" Said the gentle voice of a mother who cares.

Momo bolted up from her bed and grabbed her mother by the shoulders.

"Kiley! Is he still alive?!" She was crying again. Always crying.

Her mother nodded and looked away.

"The Kileys are waiting for you. They think that you ought to be there." Momo's mother said reluctantly. Not wanting to tell her daughter this awful news but knowing that it is important.

"We'll be there for you Momo..." The voice was familiar yet different. The strange hate slowly melting away. Sae had taken a step towards friendship. That was the path she had chosen.

Momo cried more and told the others to leave. She wanted to be alone. When they left and the door was shut tightly, Momo turned towards the window, and in her fetal position she sobbed hysterically.

For long moments she sobbed this way until the tears stopped flowing and her head pounded with her heart beat. She just shook from the onslaught of emotions. Most of them were negative.

A plan hatched inside her peace-depraved mind. She would pretend to be sick. They held off letting Kiley go because she wasn't there to watch. Them and their crazy morbid torture! She would not see Kiley leave her forever. She would be sick and stay away. Stay away until he wakes.

That would mean not being there when he opened his eyes. Even though that hurt her, she was willing to give that up as long as she bought him time to wake up.

She prayed and prayed, sold her soul and promised disgusting things. She was desperate and healthy now, she needed him to wake up now. Kiley please, she would think, trying to pass it into his head from her bed in the hospital. Please wake up.

She couldn't go see him. She couldn't risk someone seeing her seeing him then pulling the plug that made his heart beat and filled his lungs with air. So she stayed in her room, frequently visited by her mother and her new friend Sae. Her boyfriend tagged along but never really said much to her but cliché kind words.

She enjoyed their company but it didn't take her mind off of Kiley, nothing did.

~He heard a voice that glowed like a golden star in the sky. It was Momo's of course, no other voice could make him take the pain like he did. She wanted him to wake up and so did he. He would wake up just for her, ignoring the wretched pain as usual, what he always did to get Momo to feel better. He'd wake for her, from out of this strange darkness and into the light that was Momo. Sweet Momo, the light of his life, He would wake up and tell her he loved her.~

Kiley's family came into her room. They were sad, their eyes puffy with tears.

"He's in so much pain Momo, please" They would beg.

"I'll try to get better and come see his death as soon as possible" She would say tiredly and sarcastically. She would turn away and hear a wailing sob and the door shutting.

She knew that they knew that Kiley loved her. They wouldn't unplug him until Momo was going to say goodbye. But they suffered because although they were partially ready to let him go in peace, Momo has still not except the fact that he was in a coma. He was just sleeping and that he would wake up.

Momo spent restless nights dreaming of Kiley and his pained face. That face she saw at the beach, the face of a sort of ache. When she woke she was sweating and crying. An I. V. stuck in her arm to give her sustenance, and her mind groggy from the morphine they jabbed into her against her will. She struggled against it because it was like rape. She didn't want strange chemicals squirting inside of her by a long needle. It caused her pain and made her tired and disoriented.

Sae came in one day by herself. She was in tears as she kneeled at Momo's bedside. Her ivory cheeks stained with her shining tears. Her face was in such strange anguish. The hatred for Momo was almost completely gone except for a spark here and there.

"Momo, It's all my fault!" She yelled. Taking Momo's hand and pressing her face firmly into the white sheets on the bed.

"What are you talking about?" Momo asked, a slight smile on her face.

"I'm responsible for what Happened to Kiley!!!"

(A/N: The Dictator here. Okay. It's been a while since I've posted anything up. I'm just not getting anywhere because I don't think this story is very popular. Maybe people just don't like tragedies. I do! This is one of my finest Fanfiction tragedies that I've ever written. Maybe I'll make another one that has a happy ending but this story really is good. Just give tragedies a chance. They tend to teach you things. Please Review, I accept flames.)
