Chapter 9: In The End
(T.K.'s P.O.V)
Spring break was over…it had been almost a week since my confrontation with Davis. From what I heard he wasn't doing so well. Kari had called me a million times. I ignored her. I didn't really want to be bothered with her at the moment. I decided to skip class today. I just didn't have the will to deal with anything right now let alone school. So I did the only other thing I could do. I went to Matt's bar. Besides, I got a discount on drinks there anyway.
I sat down at my usual spot at the bar and Matt walked up to me. "T.K. what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" He asked. "Just give me a drink." I said. "No way. I'm not letting you mess yourself up like I did." I glared at him. "Give…me…my…drink…" I said.
"I said no…" I stood up. "I'll go elsewhere." So, after finding another bar, I got so drunk that I caused a bar fight and ended having to be hospitalized.
(Kari's P.O.V)
T.K. and I hadn't talked at all ever since he beat up Davis. It was tearing me up inside. I mean for one, T.K. always seemed like such a kind and gentle-hearted person. Even though I was drunk and it had been days, I couldn't forget the look in his eyes when he was fighting Davis. It kept me up for nights on end…
Davis and I had developed somewhat of a steady relationship. He comforted me when I needed to be and he seemed to always be so cheerful. But that day, that hour, that moment…changed everything… I was watching the 6:00 news on a Friday night. They were reporting on a bar fight that had broken out only about two hours ago. 4 people were in critical condition, and 1 wounded. T.K. was in critical.
As I saw them putting him on a stretcher and wheeling him to an ambulance my heart stopped. I couldn't feel anything…my breathing was getting irregular. All I could do was stare at the battered and bruised T.K. in horror… I grabbed my things and sped to the hospital, running 4 red lights and getting 2 speeding tickets.
I sprinted up to his room and saw the doctors standing around him. "What's wrong with him? Will he be okay?" The doctor said nothing. He sighed and picked up T.K.'s medical chart. "He's in a coma. We don't know wether he's stable or not…you'll just have to wait…" He said sighing.
(T.K.'s P.O.V)
"Huh…where am I?" I was surrounded in darkness. Suddenly a bright light filled the room. Next thing I knew, I was sitting in a church watching Kari walk down the aisle. It was a wedding. But what I saw next filled me with rage. Davis was the groom. "If there are any who object to these two marrying, speak now, or forever hold your peace." The pastor said. "I OBJECT!" I yelled standing up. No one heard. "You may now kiss the bride." He said. As they kissed I felt my heart stop.
(Omniscient P.O.V)
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. "We've got a flat line over here!" A doctor yelled. Kari was standing next to T.K.'s bed crying. "T.K…you can't die! Not here!" The doctor charged up the defibrillators "Clear!" He yelled shocking T.K.'s chest. "I need oxygen!" He yelled to an orderly. "Clear!" The doctor yelled again. T.K. was shocked again. Nothing. He shocked him one more time and gave up. "I'm sorry miss…he's gone…there's nothing we can do for him…" The doctor said to Kari.
(T.K.'s P.O.V)
"Wha—where am I?" I said. Everything looked so foggy. I even thought I was standing on clouds. There was a man standing in front of me on a podium. He spoke in a loud booming voice. "T.K. Takaishi, I am here to judge your life according to your deeds…" I laughed. "Okay…where are the cameras? Hey Ashton where are ya?" I said looking around. "This is no laughing matter Mr. Takaishi you are dead." He said. I stared wide-eyed at him. "What! I can't be dead! I'm not ready!" The man sighed. "No one ever is ready…but there's nothing you can do to stop that…"
"No! There are so many things I haven't done…things I haven't said!" He sighed. " I can't help you with that…that is in the past…you must deal with what is." He said. "No…Kari…I'm sorry…I didn't mean—."
(Kari's P.O.V)
It was over…T.K. had been pronounced dead. But still, I couldn't take it…they had to have security escort me off the premises…even then I struggled. I just couldn't deal with it…T.K…dead. I drove home feeling horribly depressed. I went into my apartment and grabbed a knife out of my kitchen drawer. I held it up to eye level and sobbed. "I promised you I'd be there…no matter what…and I intend to keep that promise."
Just then, Sora walked into my apartment. "Kari! What are you doing!" She said running to me. "I'm ending it! I've lost the only thing that mattered to me! T.K. is gone!" She struggled with me and managed to grab the knife from my hand. "Kari…think about it…T.K. wouldn't want you to be doing this to yourself…he'd want you go on living. Even if it is with Davis."
I had tears in my eyes. I just couldn't bear it. T.K. had gone through hell and back to protect me. I remember the time when I had gone out with that guy on the soccer team. He heard that he was talking bad about me and T.K. took it upon himself to give him a head concussion, not to mention the fact that we had to forfeit the championship because of that… He even protected me from Davis…even though he didn't know the whole story.
Sora was right. T.K. would want me to go on living…even if it wasn't with him. I collapsed on the kitchen floor crying. Sora put her arm around me trying to comfort me.
(T.K.'s P.O.V)
"Your fricking serious! I'm dead!" He nodded. "And according to this book you seem to have lived a clean life…even though you did do a few bad things I think we can let it slide." I sighed. "Please, can I get another chance? At least I deserve that!" The man sighed ruffling with his hair. "The boss isn't going to like this…" He said.
Suddenly I found myself back in the hospital. "Doctor! He's awake!" I heard a nurse yell. "What the deuce…" I heard the doctor yell while coming into the room. "That's impossible! He was dead over 4 hours ago! Now all his readings are normal? Something's not right here." He said going over my medical chart. "Well, he's alive now, so there's no point in questioning it is there?" The nurse said.
(Kari's P.O.V)
That night, I stayed up all night. I didn't feel like going to sleep. No, let me change that, I couldn't fall asleep. As the sun started to rise around 7:00, Davis came into my apartment to comfort me. He thought that the whole thing was his fault. It probably was. "Um…Davis…I have something I need to say…" I said. I looked at him. "I feel that…um…in the circumstances of things…I think that…um…I think that we should stop seeing each other…" I stared at him. "Why?" He asked.
"I mean look at us…I'm mourning over the loss of T.K. and I don't that this relationship should've happened from the beginning…so I honestly think that we should keep our distance." I could tell he was heartbroken. But I knew later he would understand…I hope… So, with that he packed up his things that belonged to him and left.
I got up to fix myself breakfast when I got the call. Someone had called 3 times before I got the sense to pick it up. "Hello?" I said. "Heya!" I heard T.K.'s voice on the other end. "M—my god! T—T.K. is that you?" I asked on the verge of tears. "Yep. Something strange happened the past few hours, But we'll talk about it when I get there. I'm on my way over okay?"
My god…T.K. was alive? I don't know how it happened and I honestly didn't care. I had managed to fix breakfast and make myself looked somewhat decent. As T.K. rang the doorbell I had just finished brushing my teeth. "Coming!" I said. Opening the door T.K. stood in the doorway. He walked in and broke down sobbing in his arms. "T.K. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to it wasn't my fault!" He chuckled to himself. "I know…it's going to be okay…"
"Davis and I had gone out on a date! I didn't think it would do any harm so I went along with it! He ended up getting me drunk and next thing I know your beating his head in! I'm so sorry!" He sighed. "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. I should've listened to you before jumping to conclusions…but that's in the past now…it's going to be okay…" He said. I sat down on my bed still crying. "I—I just don't know what I would do if one day you just weren't here…" I said between sobs.
"Kari calm down…it's over now…things will get better…I promise." He said. He set me down on the bed and lay and slowly began to undress me. As soon as I was topless he got up and closed my room door…
Goten: Well, sorry for ending it in a cliffhanger like that but hey, DEAL WITH IT! Well, that's a wrap for True Love Waits! I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you and Good Night(Or Day)!
