Chapter 13 "Realization"

"You think she's going to be okay? I mean she hasn't said anything since she woke up..." Mina looked worriedly into Sandra's room to see Sandra on her bed just looking out the window. "Kai told me that ever since she woke up that she hasn't eaten anything. He's been trying to make her eat but we all know that that isn't doing anything. She has to eat of her own free will." Mina sighed and looked to Tala. "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know Mina, but we have to do something." Tala hugged his girlfriend and thought for a minute before remembering something. "I need the phone."

"Why?" Ray turned to him with Starr sleeping peacefully on his lap.

"I'm going to call Mariah. She always got Sandra into the mood to talk by annoying the hell outta her." Tala grabbed the phone and dialed the number.

"I wonder how everyone's doing. Maybe I should call them, what do you think Nick?" Mariah turned to Nick Parker her boyfriend.

"No don't." Nick nuzzled her neck and smirked when Mariah giggled softly in his ear. Nick groaned when he heard the phone ring. "Hello?" he answered.

Tala looked at the phone wierdly. "Uh hi is Mariah there? We need to talk to her."
Nick smirked a little. "What about may I ask?"

"About Sandra Hanson"

"Sandra Hanson huh? How is she doing? I hope that I didn't beat her up too badly." Nick laughed coldly. "Just tell her that Nick Parker says hi." he hung up and turned to Mariah.

Tala stared at the phone in shock. "Go get Kai." Tala stood up and went into Sandra's room only to sling her over his shoulder. "Go get Kai now!" he glared at Ray who immediately got up and ran into Kai's room.

"Kai! I think Tala's gone insane! He wants you and he has Sandra over his shoulder!" Ray panted a bit.

"What!" Kai ran into the living room to see Sandra starring at Tala with frightened eyes. "Tala what's going on! Why'd you scare her half to death!" Kai went over to Sandra and hugged her and spoke soothing words into her ear.

"The guy who atacked Sandra, I know who he is. I called Mariah a little while ago to ask if she could come and help Sandra out of her faze but this guy picked up the phone. He told me to tell Sandra that Nick Parker says hi. He told me that he beat her up." Tala glared out the window. "I also hear Mariah giggleing and stuff so if I had to guess I'd say that this Niock Parker and our Mariah Wong are going out."

"I-I can't believe that!" Sandra stood up. "I don't believe that Mariah would go out with that son- of- a- bitch!" she glared at Tala.

"Calm down Sandra!" Kai made her sit back down and he hugged her. "So he's in China right?"

"Yea."

"Okay. Tala pack your bags. You too Ray. We're leaving." Kai picked up Sandra bridal style. "Sandra I want you to stary here. It's for the best."

"B-b-but what if you get hurt or something? I couldn't live with myself if you get hurt!" Sandra buried her head in his Linkin Park shirt.

"It's going to be okay Sandra. Nothing's going to happen to Ray, Tala, and I okay? What I need you to do for me is be calm and start eating." he layed her down again back on her bed like before. "Will you do that for me?" he asked softly.

Sandra felt tears prick her eyes and she nodded. "O-o-okay Kai, I trust you but if you don't call me in 12 hours I'm coming after you!"

"Okay." Kai kissed her forhead. "Good night." he left and closed the door behind him. Kai left to his room and started packing a bag for 2 days. Once he was finished he opened Sandra's door again to see her sleeping peacefully on her bed. He walked in and stroked her cheek softly. Ever since he had gotten her back from the club that one night he had grown very attached to the black haired girl. He would often see himself visualize him holding her and kissing her like no tomorrow but then he would growl in anger and shake those thoughts away from his head. Kai sighed, after those visuals he got more of them and he just couldn't face the fact that he had developed feelings for her. Kai had abandoned his plan of sleeping her when he found out who Sandra really was; his friend and settled down on trying to figure out if she knew that they had once been the closest of friends. He sighed and then smiled as Sandra rolled over and muttered something tht sounded oddly like 'I want my banana you damn monkeys!' before he kissed her lips softly and tried to ignore the fluttering feeling that took place in his stomache. Kai stood up straight and left the room to be met with Tala and Ray in the foyer.

"Let's go." Kai walked past them and out intoa taxie that was waiting for them.

"Okay so where does Mariah live now?" Kai turned to Ray.

"118 Cherry Blossom Rd." Ray sighed heavily.

"Okay let's go." Kai started walking towards Mariah's house to see a guy. "Hey! Are you Nick Parker!" he called.

"Who wants to know?" Nick sneered.

Kai smirked and walked over towards Nick and grabbed his collar pulling him up from the ground. Kai slammed him against a tree and grinned maliciously at him. "I don't like you Nick. You hurt my girlfriend." Kai spat in his face.

"Girlfriend? Your going out with Sandra Hanson?" Nick smirked but it faultered when Kai smirked evily.

"Yes. I'm going out with Sandra Hanson. So if you mess with her again you'll have to answer to me." Kai dropped Nick on the ground.

"Wish I could say the same for you." Nick brought out his pocket knife and swiped it at Kai who dodged just in time.

"Don't be an idiot! You can't beat me!" Kai laughed silently.

"I don't have too!" Nick smirked and charged at Ray who was wide eyed. Tala saw what he was about to do to his friend and blocked Nick's attack.

"Stop it! Fighting will get you know where!" a voice yelled out to the fighting teens and Kai turned around to see Sandra standing there with Mariah for support.

"Sandra! I told you to stay at the house!"

"I'm sorry Kai but I just got so worried so I called Mariah and told her about Nick. Then I got on the next plane here."

"Sandra I told you stay..."

"So this is your wonderful girlfriend?" Nick smirked and ran towards her. He quickly pushed Mariah out of the way and grabbed Sandra with the knife to her neck. "Anyone move and I swear to you all that I will kill her!" Nick had a look in his eyes that toldthemhe was totally serious.
