CD: TALA DIES IN THIS CHAPTER!
.+Some things are forever:.
"Angel!" called Lori as she hurried through the hospital's glass entrance, Rei, Kai and Mika followed after her.
The black brown haired girl looked up as her friends rushed towards her, her eyes were red and puffy from crying hard.
"We came as soon as we could, what happened?" asked Rei.
"Blood… blood…" muttered Angel, she rocked back and forth in the plastic blue hospital chair.
"What blood? What happened Angel? It's important for us to know." Said Lori.
"Tala… was on the ground, when I turned him around… blood… from head… glassy blue eyes… death hung in air…" mumbled Angel, her eyes glazed over and she started shaking softly.
"He's going to be alright, Tala is strong… he wouldn't do this to us." Re-assured Lori.
"I'm sure you're right… but I can't help but think… what if?" muttered Angel.
"You're just making it worse for yourself, he will be alright! I won't forgive him if he wasn't." said Lori, "They've only been in surgery for 4 hours."
Just as she finished her sentence the light above the surgery room flashed green. A very exhausted looking doctor came out, his face was shaped in the expression one would have if they were in deep regret and sympathy. He came towards the group.
"I'll get straight to the point, this might not be what you want to hear but someone has to say it… I'm sorry but the injury was just too great and we weren't able to save him…" started the surgeon, he continued on to say a whole heap of medical gibberish but Angel's ears were blocked.
We weren't able to save him… we weren't able to save him… the phrase repeated itself over and over again in her head, her mind slipped into a phase of denial.
"He's not dead," mumbled Angel.
"What?" Lori and the others turned and stared at her, surely she was depressed but it was no good to not accept the fact he had left.
"He's not dead." Repeated Angel very clearly, and then almost screaming it out, "HE'S NOT DEAD!"
"Angel! Stop it!" Mika stared at her in horror, she was making this worse for everyone.
In a sudden surge of anger Mika grabbed Angel by the shoulders and steered her towards the surgery, they were too fast for the doctor to stop them, the two pushed through the sickly green operation doors and stopped abruptly at the table where Tala lay. Mika folded back the white sheet that covered one of her best friends.
There he was, white as a ghost, every feature on him was perfect… you would never have thought he was dead. Angel took this in and broke down in a flood of tears.
"I hate you, why did you have to do this?" She cried and looked up at Mika through locks of her black hair that had covered parts of her face.
"You have to face the truth Angel, He's gone and he'll never be back! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO." Shouted Mika.
"Mika! That's enough!" Kai came through the doors, "we are all devastated by this loss but it's not going to help if you guys keep arguing, Mika, let Angel grieve her loss."
"Angel, please just accept that Tala is gone. I'm sorry…" whispered Rei.
Two large brown eyes stared up at him, they were filled with the deepest kind of emotion the human body, mind and heart could master. All at once everyone could feel it, amidst all the sadness there was something so beautiful, it was the purest element that ever existed but it was heavily weighed down by remorse. This element was true love and Angel had lost it.
