Chapter 3: Showers

Rei's POV

There's no chance I'm getting out of this…no way…

"But I don't remember killing him…it doesn't make any sense." I say aloud to myself. I'm sitting here, with my knees pulled up to my chest. My arms are wrapped around them, and my head rests on top of them. I suddenly hear the glass door open, and see Kai there. It looks like he hasn't shaved in a while. He looks at me, a small smile on his face. He never smiles…why now?

"Rei…Tyson needs to speak with you…about Max."

"Tyson? N-no…I couldn't." I stammer slightly. Kai doesn't know about Tyson…and Max. They were together. And if he thinks I killed him, Tyson's bound to hate me. No wait, scratch that, he'll be so angry…he'll probably kill me. Before Kai could say anything, I see Tyson barge in, looking at me with a furious look.

"Why, Rei? Max never did anything to you!"

"Tyson, I'm sorry, I-"

"Sorry? Sorry? Sorry will be when your sorry ass gets executed! I want you dead, Rei, I swear I do!" Tyson looks like he's about to cry, but he holds his tears back.

"Tyson, stop."

"You shut up, Kai! You, of all people wouldn't know how it felt to loose someone!" Tyson pointed at Kai. Kai's face filled with anger. He grabbed Tyson's shirt, and slammed him against the wall.

"I DO know how it feels, Tyson. I lost my mother and father at a early age...But I got over it...I got over it with the training I had to go through. I didn't want to be weak, crying and remembering my parents when I knew I couldn't do anything about them, no matter how loud I cried…I'd just get punished." Kai put him down slowly, his anger had subsided. Tyson just stood there, then a few seconds later, headed to the door to leave. He looked at me one last time, with hatred still in his eyes.

"You'll pay for this, Rei." He left, leaving me and Kai alone. Of course, I had known about Kai loosing his parents, but now this affected him even more remembering it. I just wondered how he had lost them. He sighed loudly, while I just looked at the ground, wondering what to say.

"Rei?"

"Kai, you didn't have to defend me, I-"

"It's all right…"

"Kai?" I look at him with tears in my eyes, then hug him tightly. This seems to surprise him a bit. This surprises me, too. Me, hugging Kai…I never actually thought about telling him how I felt…and I know this isn't the right time…but if I do die…I'll never get another chance.

"Kai, I love you…please, don't leave me alone again…I understand if you don't believe me, but no one believes you when they think you're crazy…or a killer.." I trail off as Kai lifts my chin up slightly. Our lips contact, and he sends me into this kiss…I can't believe this is happening…I must be dreaming. I close my eyes as he explores my mouth…taking me as his own. We finally part the kiss, out of breath. I look into his crimson colored eyes…and deep inside them, I see a compassionate side…the real Kai that's hiding behind that mask. He looks away, then parts from my arms.

"We'll talk about this later, Rei…until then, I'd suggest that you go shower now." Kai cleared his throat, and headed out while some nurses stood by the door, waiting for me to follow them into the shower room. (AN: None of the stuff from Gothika while they were in the shower is going to happen…rather, something different!) I follow them, and go in with the rest of the men. I take off my clothes, and feel terribly uncomfortable. I'm here, naked in front of at least 60 men. I quickly go to an open showerhead, and wet my hair. Until then, I hadn't noticed that they had cut off my long hair. I can't believe that I had forgotten all about my hair. Now it feels so much easier go handle…but I miss my long hair. I suddenly feel a slight tap on my shoulder. I turn around to meet my patient, Sean. His blonde hair is in his eyes slightly. He pulls some of it to the side, looking into my eyes.

"Rei…you're beautiful." He smirks slightly. I don't say anything, then continue to let the water run down my face.

"You know, you and Kai would make an incredibly sexy couple…I heard from one of the guards that he was kissing you." Sean smirks again.

"It was an accident." I don't look at him.

"Accident? So killing Max was an accident, too?"

"Shut up, Sean. You know very well that I didn't kill him!" I suddenly burst out. He looks at me in confusion, and other people around me, too.

"Dude, I was just messing around…you didn't have to raise your voice like that." Sean smirks some more.

"Time's up!" I suddenly hear the guard yell above the rest. We head out again, putting on the uniforms again after drying our bodies slightly. I'm in my room again…heh, look how I say it…my room…it might as well be. I keep thinking about what Tyson said to me…he wants me dead…I didn't do anything…why? Why me? I let tears escape, and take out what Sean gave to me…I wonder how he got this…he said, 'In case I needed it to make this all end'…to go away. It's a small knife…I plan to cut my wrists tonight…save Tyson the trouble on trying to get me killed for sure. I near them to my wrists, closing my eyes as I feel the cool metal touch my skin. I force myself to force it down, enough to make it bleed a little. I then do it all the way…how others described what to do…make it deep enough…let it all flow out. I feel my life draining out of me…I'll cut just one wrist…that's enough for me. I'm the type who looses blood easily…it all flows out quickly…I see it fall to the ground…my head goes around in circles…I'm too dizzy. I fall off the bed, and onto the floor, looking at the puddle of blood growing…watching until it darkens…until I finally black out…maybe for good…
