A Year To Live
Author's Note: I don't receive review alerts! Why???? All I get is author alerts!!! Oh well…
Thanks for all the suggestions. I was thinking about them since six in the morning… I'm pretty shocked by one of your response:
have kai get run over by a bus or something
then he has to stay in the hospital and recover…………
Why does my friend telll me the same thing??? Only the way he said it was like: get out of the hospital, knocked down by car, go back hospital again.
No, he is not going back there anytime soon, sorry to disappoint you, I will not make Voltaire any way humane. I haven't finished watching Beyblade, it's only like, 47th episode here (the?!)
And… is there anything called untreatable Leukaemia? Because that's what Kai has. Chemo can only make him live longer. It's my story, and I'm so screwed up… Sigh…
Oh yeah, on with the story!
3.5—Mistake
"Tyson! Max! Chief! Has anybody seen Kai?" Ray asked, knowing it was a lame question, how could Kai possibly just turn up at the most obvious place?
Unfortunately, none of them seem to be paying Ray any attention, they had already zoomed out of the restaurant at top speed, leaving Ray to pay up.
"Hey guys! WAIT UP!!!"
___
Damn Tyson, of all places, he has to be here. Kai cursed as he slipped past a group of English tourists.
"Kai! Where are you going?" Max's voice rang through the cold dense air. It only made Kai turn into a brisk walk.
He was past the alley…
The Bladebreakers were drawing close…
He started running…
There was a stretch of road ahead…
There wasn't any cars in sight…
He was crossing it…
SCREEEEEEEEECCCCHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
"Arrggh!"
"Kai?!"
Kai jumped back just in time as the car swerved to the right, missing a tree trunk.
"Watch where you're going kid! You almost got me fucking killed!" the pissed driver shouted, before speeding off.
___
That was so close…
"K—Kai! What do you think ... you're doing?" Tyson asked in between gasps.
Kai had turned shockingly pale and was staring wide eyed at the leaving car. Close… So close…
A/n: One chapter down, finally, chapter 4! No, I did not send Kai back into the hospital, yes, I let him off. Next chapter please!
4—Like Usual, two months later
The next two weeks saw the return of Kai's crude behaviour, endless training till the wee hours of the morning, and the silence he kept everywhere they went. All the time, Ray kept quiet of the pain his friend had to put through after their late trainings. And he realised the meaning of seeing your friend go through pain you can't help to ease is far worse than going through the hell yourself.
Then came the time when they had to leave Russia.
___
Six weeks after they returned to Japan
"Mr. Dickenson! MAX!!! RAY!!!" …… and it went on.
"I can't believe it, Kai's late." Tyson groaned.
Ray perked up. Could something have happened?
"Then I'm sorry." This caused everyone to look up at the slate haired teen leaning casually against the wall.
"When did you get here?"
Ray
To see him was to my greatest relief. But I can't help worrying. We're off to China for the Asian Beyblade tournament, there would be more stress, more training, and to top it all off, all I get is the feeling of dread. When is Kai going to let the others know? Knowing him, that is, until he breaks; which I'm afraid, would be soon.
Okay, the ship's sailing…
~
Halfway through the ride, I found Kenny retching at the deck, Max at the games room, Tyson fooling around, and Kai… retching as I feared in the desolated washroom. Only this time, it looked much worse. There was blood…
"Ray…" he gasped.
"Oh my gosh…" that was all I could say. What would you do if you see your friend with his slick hair plastered on his head, looking as if he'd ran three miles in fifteen minutes and vomiting blood?
I bit my lip hard trying not to let tears take over me, I guess I failed. I ended up sobbing into his chest, while he tries to calm me down.
Kai
For how long more can I keep the suspicion down, I'm not sure. Here is Ray, crying, for crying out loud. Thank God he kept the secret. I can't survive with four people looking into my personal life at a time.
I washed the sink and left Ray in the bathroom. He's going to tell them… And there's nothing I can do to put a stop to that.
End of chapter
REVIEW!!!
Author's Note: A short chapter that was meant to be. C'mon, just push that button and type something, it doesn't hurt to review, but it hurts not to get reviews!!! As other authors can relate to that.
