Chapter 12: The last page of the story, The first taste of life

Next thing that Bryan knew was a hospital. Again. Pieces of memories pop in his mind:

What the hell?

Oh…I remember…I was shot.

Ugh… Hurts… I'm so tired…

Uh…? Red hair…? Tala!

I hope they're OK…

"Bryan… You're awake."

"Uh… Did Ifell a coma or something?" Bryan asked and Ian answered.

"Nope, not this time buddy."

"Great…"

"You got shot, remember?"

"Yeah…"

"We come to see you tomorrow. Don't disappear!"

Disappear, Eh…? No I don't.

Bryan could go to home tomorrow. That's what doctor said.

That day went slowly. Hour by hour. Minute by minute. Second by second. How frustrating… Night was more than welcome. Bryan glared at his left shoulder. Slowly he took the bindings off. There was a small scar. Bryan put the bindings back. Then he fall asleep.

Morning wasn't so nice, Bryan hated mornings and hospital food was the worst thing during the morning.

How long I still have to wait…?

His friends weren't there. Hours passed by.

How long?

Then they came.

"Finally!"

They walked home, Tala's home, actually. His mom was hyper again.

"OH! Sweetie! I'm glad to see your OK!" Mrs. Ivanov hugged her son and her nephew tightly.

"Uh… Mrs. Ivanov… I can't breath…"

"Me either mom…"

Mrs. Ivanov let go.

"I didn't know that air can taste so good…"

"Me either…"

After seven hundred "Can I adopt you?"- yells (From Tala's mom) they finally got their asses up to Tala's room.

"Home." Bryan said.

"Hn? What about it?"

"They don't want me back… At least dad doesn't want…" Bran said and he stared at white roof. They were laying on the floor, everyone of them stared at the roof.

"Hn. That's bad…" Spencer said when he shut his light-gray eyes are they light-gray? O.O?

Bryan didn't answer. He didn't really even listen what others said. He tried to remember his mothers voice. He realized that he didn't remember it. He didn't remember what she looked like. He really were his mothers favorite since he was the only child. And mom always protected him when his dad was furious. Once again.

Bryan always looked up to his mother and he really acknowledge her. He knew that his mother was always on his side, not on his husbands side.

"Bry-Bry?"

"Huh? What?" He woke up from his dreams.

"I said you can live with my family."

"With whose family?" He said stupidly.

"Mine! You can live with Tala Ivanov's family! And as you know, that's me!"

Bryan nodded. Then he really understood what Tala said.

"I-What? Really? I don't know how to-!"

"Thank me? You don't have to, 'cos you're my cousin in-law…"

"Tala's turning soft!" Ian laugh.

A hard punch hit on Ian's cheek.

"Soft? Me? Not that soft yet, just happy!" Tala said and his face was angry. "I take him in our host 'cos then mom could finally stop trying to adopt someone of you and he really needs care."

"Care? I don't need care! I'm not a baby! Kai is!"

"What? Me? Bryan, say your prayers, 'cos you're DEAD!"

Others laugh when Kai tried to kill Bryan.

Bryan didn't really believe it, but that day he had his first pillow-fight! Kai grabbed one pillow from Tala's bed and attacked on Bryan! Shame was that he accidentally hit Tala, who join to the pillow-fight after Kai's attack. Bryan hit Ian and there was the third pillow-fighter.

"Hey, Hey! Calm down!" Spencer tried, but the answer was clear: Three pillow hit on him and he joined in.

Three hours later they laid on the floor, again, but now sweat ran on their skin and small feathers floated quietly towards them.

"That was a hell of a battle." Bryan said and he took his thick pullover off, leaving only thin T-shirt.

"You said it…" Tala said, trying to catch his breath

"You know, maybe we should clean this mess up…?" Spencer said

All five boys stared that mess.

"Niet!" All of them said at the same time.

This was their day off. That was the first day of freedom. That was the first day when their life really begun.

Sakura wo Miro/the author:

Uh... Kind a short, sorry, but my mind is empty. I can't make any ideas now, so that's why it came like this. By the way, This is THE LAST CHAPTER OF BELIEVE ME. So the story ends here when theyre finally free but I might still keep it going if I can get my lazy ass to the computer...

Don't rush your work, i'd rather read a chapter that is revised then rushed. But it is a good idea to set a dead line.
