A/N: Well peeps. Chapter 3 is here so I hope you enjoy it and Chapter 4 is on it's way. On with the show.
Chapter 3-Medical Attention
"Where am I?" Alex said aloud. She opened her eyes and saw Rei, Tyson, Max, Hilary, and Kenny staring at her, as Kai was leaning on the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed. She somewhat jumped to see all of these people staring at her. "Are you ok?" Max asked.
"What happened to me?" Alex replied.
"Well, you collapsed in the hallway after I told you to go back to bed. We then called an ambulance to come and pick you up because you had fallen unconscious and weren't breathing and seemed to have a fever. And so you are here now." Max said.
Alex looked at the IV in her arm and stared up at Max. She felt something uncomfortable in her nose and saw an oxygen thing there. She couldn't seem to think straight and the doctor came into the room moments later. "All right. Ms. Burton I see is awake." The doctor said.
"Yeah she has been awake for about a few minutes." Rei said. The doctor then checked her blood pressure, which seemed to be above average, her pulse, and her temperature. "Well it looks like you still have a high fever and your blood pressure is quite high. You will be staying overnight so we can monitor your breathing, fever and blood pressure. Have you been in a great deal of stress lately?" The doctor asked.
"Um…I think so." Alex answered trying to collect her thoughts for her head was not thinking straight because of the fever. "Well I see here that you were involved in an auto accident and both of your…parents died. I am sorry to hear that." The doctor said pausing as he studied her report. "I am sure that you will be ok for the time being but you are going to have to take some medication. Well I will check up on you in an hour of two to see how you are doing." The doctor exited the room and the silence was broken by Hilary crying.
"I was so worried when I heard about you." Hilary said with tears coming out of her eyes. "I thought that you would die."
"Hilary I am fine really I just need to rest. I promise you that I will not die." Alex said comforting the over-emotional girl.
"Well I am glad that you are feeling better." Rei said. "All of us were worried to find you like that. Just ask if you need anything." Rei said.
"Will do." Alex replied and smiled.
"Alex, Hilary and Kenny are going to leave so they could head home because it is getting late." Max said. "Tyson, Rei and I are going to get something to eat. What do you want?" Max asked.
"How about chicken noodle soup with crackers please." Alex asked smiling. "Oh could you buy me a comic book at the gift shop, so I could read and I will pay you back when I get home tomorrow."
"Sure and Kai are you coming too?" Max asked.
"No not hungry." Kai replied.
Hilary and Kenny said their goodbyes as they headed home. Hilary was still emotional and said a tearful goodbye.
"Be careful ok and call me if anything else happens. See you later Alex and feel better." Hilary said.
"Thanks Hilary and I will call you. See you later and you too Kenny." Alex replied.
"Bye." Kenny said pushing Hilary out of the room.
"Kai are you sure you don't want anything?" Tyson said. "You know a growing boy your age has to eat. It means you are strong and healthy." Tyson said grinning at Kai.
"Tyson I said no and my answer is still no." Kai replied coldly.
"Fine Mr. Grumpy all that means is the more sugar for me." Tyson said.
"Alex we will be back in about a few minutes that is if we don't get lost because the hospital is pretty big." Max said smiling.
"See you guys later." Alex waved.
Max, Rei and Tyson exited the room leaving Alex and Kai alone. Alex then looked at Kai who was staring at her and smiled. Kai turned away and walked over to the window. "You seem to always be cheerful no matter what happens to you don't you." Kai asked as he stared out of the window.
"…I guess so. It's just that my mom told me that I should always be happy no matter what happens and that something better will always come out of something bad." She said. "By the way were you the one who caught me, Kai?"
"Yeah so what." Kai replied as he turned his gaze on her. She straightened up in her bed and looked at him. "Were you even worried about me because your expression has stayed the same ever since I met you yesterday." She asked.
"Why do you ask?" Kai said.
"Just curious because you don't show it." Alex said.
"Whatever." Kai said. "I always knew that you would be fine."
"Oh really. I bet you were just a little bit worried about me." Alex said smirking.
"Think what you want to think." Kai said.
"So that means yes. I knew it." Alex said grinning.
"HEY I DIDN'T SAY YES. I JUST TOLD YOU THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK!" Kai yelled. "You are so annoying sometimes, just like Max and Tyson."
"Well I have known Max since I was two so I guess that he kind of rubbed off on me." Alex said. About thirty minutes went by until Max entered the room with food and comic books. Alex and Kai just stayed silent and didn't look at one another.
"Hey you guys we are back with food and comic books." Max said cheerfully.
"Which comic did you get me?" Alex asked.
"I got you Fruits Basket Volume 1. Is that ok?" (A/N: Hehe. I love that anime series so I thought I would add it in here. Rachey hehe.)
"Sure. I haven't read that one yet." Alex said as Max handed Alex her comic book and soup and crackers. "Where are Tyson and Rei?" Asked Alex.
"They are on their way. Tyson couldn't decide what he wanted to eat so he bought all of it." Max said sighing.
"Typical." Kai said rolling his eyes.
Alex and Max ate their food while Kai just silently looked out of the window. Rei and Tyson soon came into the hospital room. Tyson had about seven trays full of food while Rei had one. "There goes my whole months allowance." Tyson said looking down at his wallet after putting the food on a chair.
"The cafeteria lady had to run him out because all of the food was gone." Rei said. All of boys except Kai and Alex laughed at what Rei said. "THAT IS NOT FUNNY REI. CUT IT OUT!" Tyson yelled.
Everyone laughed again and they soon went back to eating. A nurse came into the hospital room. "Are all of you boys going to be staying in the hospital overnight?" The nurse asked as she check Alex's blood pressure again, which was still high.
"I think so. I am staying and how about you guys." Max answered.
"Sure why not. It could be fun." Tyson said. "How about you Rei?"
"Sure. Just to make sure you are ok Alex." Said Rei. "Kai are you going to be staying?"
"………" Kai didn't answer and still stared out the window. It looked as if he was thinking of what to say. "I guess so, because I am the only one who has to look after you guys and make sure that you don't cause trouble for anyone." Kai answered as he turned his gaze on Tyson, Rei and Max.
"Right." Rei said as he looked at him. "As if there isn't another reason for staying is there." Kai gave a death glare to Rei.
Tyson and Max laughed and Alex just looked at them clueless of what just happened. "I don't get it." She said.
"Don't worry about it." Tyson said.
Kai just went back to staring out of the window and thinking to himself. The nurse then told everyone that a bed was made up for each one of them whenever they were ready to sleep. She exited the room and then came back with a needle. "Ms. Burton this is a medication that would ease the pain from your broken leg and arm. You will be very sleepy as the medication starts to kick in. So you don't have to worry." The nurse injected the needle in her drippy bag thing and then exited the room.
Alex could feel the medication starting to take its tole and she became very drowsy. "Well it looks like I need to sleep. Good night yawn you guys see you in the morning." Alex said while nodding off into dreamland.
"Good night." Max and Tyson say. "Looks like I need to hit the sack too. Good night you guys." Max said as he exited the room and searched for his bed.
"Wait up Maxie. I am coming too." Tyson said.
"You coming Kai?" Rei asks, as he is about to exit the room.
"No I am going to stay here a little longer." Kai replies.
"Oh I see. Someone is a little worried." Rei said smirking. "You better not be going soft Kai. If you are who is going to keep Tyson and Max in check."
"I am not worried." Kai said denying it.
"Yeah right. It is kind of obvious that you are worried about her. Don't stay up too late. You too need your rest. Good night." Rei exited the room and left Kai alone.
"Whatever Rei. Good night." Kai said moving over to the chair that was next to Alex's hospital bed. He took a seat and watched over her as she slept soundly.
"Oh man, my head hurts." Alex said aloud. She moved up right in her bed and looked around. 'That's right I am in the hospital.' She thought to herself. She looked on her bed and noticed Kai's head resting on her bed his arms supporting it and her hand was stuck under his arm. He was sitting on the chair next to her bed.
'Did he stay the whole night just looking over me?' She asked herself smiling. She moved her leg and all of a sudden Kai's head moved. She quickly pretended to be sleeping and Kai woke up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. He looked over at Alex pretending to be asleep and smiled. He got up from the chair and placed his hand on Alex's forehead and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Good morning." Kai said to Alex and he turned around and exited the room smiling.
"What was that all about?" Alex said aloud. A smile appeared on her face as she touched her forehead where Kai touched it. "Thanks Kai." She said to herself and fell back asleep.
She awoke again just as Max, Tyson, Rei and Kai come into the room. "Morning Alex. How are you feeling?" Said a hyper Max.
"I am better. Just a little tired." Alex said. "By the way Max have you had caffeine?"
"Sure have." He said smiling.
"Great." Alex said under her breath. She looked at Kai who was sipping coffee. "Long night Kai." She asked.
Kai looked a little taken back and didn't reply and kept sipping his coffee. "Oh yeah Alex we bought you these just to say get well soon." Tyson said as he put a vase of flowers on the nightstand and a Good Well Balloon was connected to it.
"Thanks you guys." Alex said smiling. The doctor then came into the hospital room and said good morning to everyone. "Well Ms. Burton it seems to me that you are going to be going home today. Your blood pressure has dropped and you are free to go whenever you want too. Your medication can be picked up when you leave and if you need anything else just let me know. Feel better." The doctor said.
"Thank you for everything doctor." She said.
"No problem just be more careful and try to stay more relaxed." The doctor replied exiting the room.
"Well it looks like I get to go back home. I can't wait because I hate hospital food, so when are we going?" She asked.
