Chapter 6: My Immortal

Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers or Evanescence's song My Immortal. I'm just borrowing them.

Trent was in the living room looking over some storyboards for his new comic book. Kira came downstairs, he could tell she was trying to put a smile on her face. However, he knew that if he were in her shoes, he would feel the same way. "Good morning, Kira," he greeted.

"Good morning, Trent," she greeted back.

Kira walked into the kitchen and decided to clean it up from last night's dinner. As she picked up a cup, she gasped when it fell from her hand and it shattered all over the floor. "Are you okay?" Trent asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

Trent went to help her pick up the shards of glass when she insisted that she'd get it. However, when she picked up a piece of glass, she sliced her hand. She gasped in pain and used a dishtowel to try to stop the bleeding. "Come on, that cut's pretty deep. We better get you to the hospital to get your hand stitched up," he insisted. He led her out of the house and towards the car.

When they came to the hospital, Kira's hand was stitched up and was told what to do. However, Kira looked down the hall at room 312. "Come on, Kira," Trent murmured. Kira let his hand go and went down the hall towards his room.

She opened the door and tears welled up in her eyes again. She sat down next to his chair and tears fell down her face. "Connor, I love you . Please wake up," she whispered. She placed a kiss on the top of his hand and touched his face. Trent watched as Kira stood up. "Let's go," she mumbled.

When they got home, Kira went upstairs and fell on her bed in tears. "Why, why is it me? Why am I being punished?" She asked out loud. Trent then entered the room.

"Kira," he called.

Kira turned on her side and refused to look at him. "Kira, I know you're going through a rough time right now," he stated.

"Just go away, Trent. You don't know what I'm going through. I made Connor angry with me the day he was in his accident. It was because of you," she snapped.

"You don't mean that."

She spun around and looked at him. "YES! I DO! If you didn't come here Connor would be okay and we would be together. Because of you I may never see Connor again," she hissed. Trent grabbed her arms and looked at her.

"Kira, the accident would have happened anyway. The worse part could be you would be in the car and you wouldn't be here," he stated.

Kira fought against him until she couldn't anymore. Trent wiped her tears away and looked at her. "Everything is going to be okay, Kira. I promise," he whispered.

"I just miss him so much. I miss his smile, his laugh, his ridiculous jokes, and not only that, I miss his love," she whispered.

Trent touched her hair and sighed. "I know you do. He will wake up, Kira. Connor loves you and love survives every obstacle. When he wakes up you two will be together forever," he assured. Kira sighed and looked down at her wrapped up hand.

"This is ridiculous, Trent. You're my friend and I almost ruined my friendship with you over Connor's accident," she mumbled.

"The accident happened only four weeks ago. You're still trying to adjust."

"What about you?"

"I am trying to adjust to the fact that Connor's in the hospital and not with you."

Kira smiled and hugged him.

At Kira's next concert, she sat out on the stage on a stool with the microphone in hand. She still try to adjust to the fact that Connor wasn't there to support her. However, she knew that singing would help her live through it.

In the hospital, the nurse had the television turned on and she was watching Kira's concert. She sat down next to Connor's bed and watched as the concert began. Kira had the nurse turn the television on when she's performing so Connor could hear her sing like he always has since they were Juniors in High School.

Kira took a deep breath and started singing.

I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
Because your presence still lingers here,
And it wont leave me alone...

These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase...

When you'd cried I'd, wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd, fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

You used to captivate me,
By your resonating light.
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams.
Your voice it chased away, all the sanity in me.

These wounds wont seem to heal...
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.

When you'd cried I'd, wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd, fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone,
But though you're still with me...
I've been alone all along.

When you'd cried I'd, wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd, fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

Everyone roared with approval and Kira got offstage to perform her next song.

When Kira walked by Trent, he could see it in her face. The Kira that everyone loved and adored was gone. She's been hidden inside until Connor McKnight comes back into her life.
