Chapter 2

"Kai?" Max asks watching his captain fall to the ground.

Everyone turns and goes to Kai's side.

Ray puts his hand on Kai's forehead.

"He has a fever," Ray says. "We have to get him to the hospital just in case."

"Max. Call 911," Tyson says as he and Ray picks Kai up.

They take Kai inside and set him on the couch.

Max comes in from the other room.

"They'll be here in 10 minutes," Max says.

Like Max said, 10 minutes later two EMTs came into the hotel room.

"Where is the one who fainted?" One of them asks.

"Over here," Ray says standing next to the couch.

They go over to the couch.

One checks Kai's pulse while the other looks at his eyes.

After seeing that he has a steady pulse, the EMT asks, "How long has he been out?"

"15-20 minutes," Ray says.

"Did he have any signs of being sick before this?" the EMT asks.

"No," Ray says.

"We have to get him to the hospital right away," The EMT says to other one.

They pick up Kai and set him on a backboard.

They pick up the backboard.

"What hospital?" Ray asks.

"General hospital," One of them says.

Then they walk out of the room.

"Let's follow," Ray says.

They walk out of the room and out of the hotel.

Once they hit the street, they break out into a run to the hospital.

Kai's POV

When I open my eyes again, blinding lights reflecting off of the white walls tell me where I am.

The question is, why am I in the hospital?

"Good," a voice near the door draws my attention towards it and I see a nurse walking into the room. "You're awake."

"What happen?" I strain out as I slowly sit up.

"You fainted," the nurse says like she was saying the weather to a little kid. "Don't you remember?"

"Yeah," I say. "But why did I faint?"

"I can answer that," A doctor says walking into the room. "You have the chicken pox."

"Don't little kids get that?" I say in my coldest voice.

"Usually," The doctor says. "Have you had the chicken pox before?"

"No," I say.

"You have to just let this run its course," The doctor says. "You'll just get itchy spots all over your body for a few days, a week at most but you must not scratch them or they'll leave scares." (Author's note: they do. I have one right between my eyes.)

"Then why did I faint?" I ask very bitchy.

"Because you haven't been sleeping enough," the doctor says.

"Ok, I'll sleep more," I say. "Can I get out of here now?"

"After your friends fill out these forms," the doctor says.

"What forms?" I say. "I can fill them out."

Like they know anything about me.

Like you gave them a chance Dranzer says.

Stuff it, Dranzer I think back.

The doctor hands me some paper and a pen.

It's the basic form: name, date of birth, etc.

After filling them all out, I hand them back to the doctor.

"I'll send your friends in," The doctor says.

Then he and the nurse walk out of the room.

Friends? What makes him think that they are my friends?

They're worried about you Dranzer says.

They don't need to be I think. I'm fine

Sure, Kai Dranzer says. Just let yourself believe that and you will be

Shut up I think.

Dranzer's laughing fills my head.

Stupid bird.
