Together
Kari opened her eyes slowly. Everything was blurred and unfamiliar. Her head was spinning and she felt sick and dizzy.
When everything came into focus, she found she was lying in a bed in a room she didn't recognise. Her eyes stared at the cream ceiling before moving around the rest of the very plain and basic room. Outside of the room she could hear footsteps going in all directions and voices, though she could not understand what they were saying.
"How are you feeling?" A soft voice asked from beside her where he was holding her hand. She had not noticed him before now and was startled by the sudden noise.
"Tai?" "We've been so worried; you've been unconscious for two days"
Memories came flooding back of the fight against Stingmon. She sat up slowly. "T.K! How's T.K? Did he get hurt? What happened to Stingmon?" "It's O.K. Stingmon's gone, you were the only one to get injured and T.K's alright, he's worried sick about you but he's alright." Kari lay back on her bed and stared at the ceiling before falling asleep again.
Kari heard the door of her room open and opened her eyes slightly. She felt Tai give her hand to someone else. She turned over to see T.K. His touch was soft and comforting.
She sat up and looked into his eyes. Tears fell freely down her face leaving a glistening trail down her cheeks.
"It should be me in tears not you." T.K said softly as he wiped a tear from her cheek and smiled. "You wouldn't be here if I hadn't run off to the digiworld and got on the wrong side of Stingmon."
"Maybe you wouldn't have run away if you hadn't seen me on stage with your brother." Kari sobbed. "Look I took it too seriously" He wiped another tear away and brushed back a lock of hair that had fallen in front of her face. "I...I couldn't stand seeing you with someone else. I really care about you Kari and I'll always be there for you. I hate myself for putting you in that life-threatening situation. You mean everything to me. I'm just so happy you're alright."
T.K was now sitting on the edge of her bed, closer than ever before. They looked into each others eyes for a moment. Their lips met for the first time.
Tai and Matt had been watching through the window in the door. As soon as they saw Kari and T.K kissing Matt smiled. He had never seen his brother so happy. Tai on the other hand was furious with T.K.
"You see what he's doing! He'll make her believe he likes her and then she'll get all upset when the truth comes out and I'll be stuck with a miserable sister! I'm gonna stop this before it starts!" Tai made to open the door but was pulled backwards by Matt.
"Leave them you idiot. Kari's happy and T.K's happy, so leave them." "She'll regret it, he'll cut her deep. She's gonna get hurt if this goes too far, I won't let her be hurt" "You and I both know they've liked each other for ages, and it's Kari's life so let her live it how she wants. If she wants to kiss T.K then be happy for her." Tai was quite surprised by the way Matt was speaking. "Fine I'll leave them but if he dares upset her in anyway then I'm gonna rip him apart"
When Kari was finally out of hospital, she resumed her life as normal except this time she had T.K to be there when she was lonely, wipe her tears when she cried and to walk with her in the park. She could talk to him without him worrying like Tai.
Tai was more relaxed around T.K now that he saw how happy his sister was but inside he was still uncertain. He decided it was best to keep this to himself as he didn't want Matt to go crazy and he didn't want to be the one upsetting Kari.
"Right we have to get working on some new music" Matt said at the beginning of the first band practise after Kari was out of hospital, "We don't have long before the Battle of the Bands competition, luckily it's been postponed until two weeks on Monday or we'd be in trouble what with losing three practises and all."
"If we need new stuff then what, two weeks isn't long enough to write, how many songs do we need again?" "Four" "Right, two weeks isn't long enough to write four songs. It takes a month at least to write and perfect one song. We'll have to stick to covers" "We can't only do Evanescence covers; we'll bore people. What other bands can we cover?" "Kari?" She thought for a moment before remembering a CD she liked to listen to. "Avril Lavigne?" Everyone agreed that Avril Lavigne would be a good artist to do a cover of and began to practise. "Which three songs shall we sing for the competition then?" "Freak out, Take me away, and Fall to pieces and who knows?" "Yeah, OK"
T.K met Kari after practise to take her home. They took a walk through the park.
When they reached Kari's home she turned and kissed him on the cheek before going inside. Tai was watching from the window. He couldn't help but smile at the happiness on his sister's face but he couldn't help thinking that the closer Kari got to T.K the harder it would be for her to let go and the more emotionally hurt she would get.
Please review coz I won't update until I get at least 5 reviews for this chapter. Thanks!!
