"Will she be ok?"
"We have found the cause of her loss of consciousness and the hallucinations. She has taken expired medication."
"What?"
"Yes. Flu medication to be precise. She took six tablets within half an hour."
All this was slowly passing through my brain. I groan as pain set in.
"Oh Kari!" came the worried voice of Tai. I slowly open my eyes. I squint at two looming figures. The light in the room was blinding. I drew breath in sharply as my stomach groaned. My eyes slowly grew accustomed to the brightness of the room, and I soon found myself in a white hospital room, with a doctor and my brother peering at me intently.
"Tai?" I whisper hoarsely. He nods, tears beginning to glisten in his gentle, brown eyes.
"I also have one more thing," the doctor began once more, "she has developed a chest infection. With the right medication, she should be fine in a couple of weeks." Tai's eyes widened.
"A chest infection?" he asked, "But…she hasn't shown any signs of one." But then, he gasped.
"I'm sorry Tai," I say, tears glistening in my own eyes.
"I should like to keep her in overnight for observation," the doctor continued, "Just in case the tablets have more of an effect than first thought." Tai nods slowly. A tear streaked down his cheek. A sudden rush of guilt surges through me.
"I'm so sorry Tai!" I wail. I began crying hysterically. As I cried, a beeping noise began sounding at a rapid pace.
"Kari! It's ok! Calm down!" Tai soothed, as I began gasping for air. My chest tightened, and my head was burning. Tai grasped my hand painfully as the doctor walked to my right side.
"Here we go," he calmly said, as he injected something into my dripper. I felt Tai's grip lessen as my breathing returned to normal. Soon enough, drowsiness set in, and I began to fall asleep.
"First T.K, then Matt, and now Kari…" Tai mumbled, but I heard no more.
