A/N: Here's my update! And a reply to one review…
Anime Fan: I'm sorry anime fan-san but this is not a Rei/Hil fic… I'm just trying to make it a love triangle between him, Hil and Kai. But anyway if you didn't actually misunderstand, disregard this reply. Thanks for the review! ;)
So without further ado… here's chap. 14
Just my Luck
Chapter 14
Everybody was silent, including me. Only the haunting sound of beeping machines lingered around the room. You might ask, is this really Hilary?
This is Hilary, yes this is me. I'm just not in the mood to fight my inner battles today. I mean who would? My friend… a friend of mine is… aw great I don't want to say it… its just not believable… makes me think this was all surreal. But it wasn't. And the gravest part is he might really not wake up at all. Who is he you might ask?
I averted my gaze to my right, he is Kai Hiwatari. The phoenix prince, captain of the BBA champions the Bladebreakers. And…the person I gradually fell for.
He looked so peaceful. We wouldn't be like this he wasn't dying really. Actually it wasn't like he was dying. He's more of in risk of being in a comma, you know brain dead? The doctor told us that if there weren't going to be any signs of waking up from him, then he would have to be considered as the 1 out of 10000 people to experience commas. And that he would be considered dead.
"Are you okay Hilary?" Rei's voice broke my train of thoughts.
"Huh?" I absent mindedly reached to touch my face, "Tears?" I mutter softly. Oh great, I'm crying again. When that Kai wakes up, I will so kick his butt for dehydrating me. I shook my head as I wipe the tears away. But of course he'll wake up. He has to get his butt kicked by me remember? And I being their self proclaimed manager/teammate can of course do it.
"I'm okay Rei," I stood up from my chair and took a last glance at the sleeping Kai, "I think I'll go home and rest, mom must be anxious to see me," I let out a sad smile. "See you guys tomorrow?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Want me to walk you home?"
I turned my head to face Rei, "Oh… that would be nice…" I nodded as I pulled the door open.
Tomorrow. I'll visit again tomorrow. Maybe he might wake up tomorrow. If he doesn't then I'll come again the next day. I'll keep coming. I want to see him when he wakes up. A sad smile tugged at my lips. Oh gawd I'm not being obsessed am i? I let out a small giggle. This is good. I'm looking at the bright side. I think…
"Are you sure you're okay Hilary?" I started to find Rei a few meters behind, a worried look in his eyes.
I shook my head. "Of course, never been better!" I gave out the happiest smile I could muster.
I let out a small gasp as I was pulled into a warm embrace.
"It's going to be alright," I heard Rei assure as he stroked my hair.
"R-rei…" He's hugging me!
"Look you're not the only one who's worried. You're not the only one who fears for what'll happen next. Me, Takao and the others feel scared too. So you might as well stop pretending and let it all out Hilary," He pulled away from me with a warm smile on his face. "You can cry on my shoulder," He finished.
I felt tears prick my eyes, as I lunged forward. This time it was me who hugged him, clung to him tightly as if he was the last lifeline left. Crying like I've never cried before. You are such a good friend. "Thank you… Rei,"
"It's going to be okay," He gave me a gentle pat on the back. "Kai'll wake up, he'll never leave you,"
"That I know for sure,"
-
"Are you sure you're going to be ok Hilary?" Rei repeated. Again.
I stuck out my tongue at him, "Yes Rei, I'll be alright, that's the third time you've asked me if I was,"
Rei turned away, his cheeks flushed, "Well I was just worrying, I mean you might go mental and all…"
I rolled my eyes and grinned at him, "Don't worry already, I'll take a bath, get a good night's sleep and not think about the incident tonight, promise, Kay?"
"Promise?"
I gave him a 'V' sign, "Promise," The door clicked open, "Goodnight,"
"Yeah, goodnight,"
-
"Mom…?" I call out as I make my way through the dim hallway. I wonder where she is? I shrugged. I guess I'll look for her later… I really need a change of clothes… ughh… Small sobs rang through my ears as I neared my room. Huh? I pushed the door open slightly.
I gasped, I finally found my mother. And she was sobbing on my bed. Yes, my mother is sobbing, on my bed! She missed me that much?
"Mom?" I call out softly enough not to startle her.
Shut eyelids opened, revealing yellow, tear-strained eyes as she slowly opened her mouth to speak.
"Hil… Hilary…?" She started softly, her voice croaked.
I flash an apologetic grin, "That's my name,"
"Hilary!" She lunged at me and hugged me like there was no tomorrow.
"Woah, not to tight mom…" I'm actually happy to see her really I am, but if this continues I might not live after this hug, "Didn't Mr. Dickenson tell you we were coming?"
My mother pulled away, wiping the tears from her eyes, "No he conveniently left that part out,"
I grinned, "Well I'm here now,"
She nodded.
"Well would you mind if I take a bath now? I feel really… ugh… dirty…"
She smiled at me, "Of course, I'll go and prepare dinner,"
"Kay mom," I replied as planted a small peck on her cheek. I made my way to my bathroom. At last. A decent bath.
"And Hilary…"
I turned my head.
"Don't leave me ever again okay?"
I gave her a toothy grin, "Don't worry mom,"
"I'm not going anywhere,"
-
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Silence.
My eyes shot open and eyed an unfamiliar ceiling. Ceiling…? No not a ceiling…Hey where is my ceiling! I jolted up and glanced around. Everything was black. Pitch black. Where?
The sound of beeping machines filled the air and a blinding light flashed before my eyes.
Where?
I gasped. I found myself in Kai's hospital room. Why am I here? My gaze landed on Kai's bed. Kai's bed. Where's Kai? Why isn't he in his bed? I looked around again. The machines were no longer around.
What?
Where the hell were those life-support thingies?
Does not mean… I dared not to think about it… but still…
Kai can't be dead.
No way.
I don't believe it.
This is just a dream.
I want to wake up.
Wake up.
-
"Wake…" My eyes fluttered open as I jolted out of bed, panting. What was that? I feel nervous. Like something has happened. I shot a glance at my wall clock. 8:30 p.m. The hospital was still open for visiting hours.
I stood up and got dressed. I have this nagging feeling. I slipped on my shoes. I've got to check on him.
I slammed the front door open. It may have been a bad omen. That dream.
I heard my mom call after me as I ran down the dim street. I've got to make sure he's alright…
Wait for me…
-
"Where am I…?"
A/N: Mwahaahah… does this count as an evil cliffie? Oooh… who was that? Make a wild guess… anyways…
I don't know what the hell the chance for 1 out of what people to experience commas is so just bear with me 'kay? Thanks!
Oh and yes, people don't misunderstand, Rei and Hilary are only the best of friends here, or maybe I'll make them something more… if my evil little mind decides too. Joking. This is a Kai/Hil fic after all. Anyways thanks for the review guys!
review equals update
