Hey, thanks for those who reviews for those waiting. And to answer the question of one reviewer keep on reading ;) also I decided to post two chapters at the same time because chapter 10 is a little short.
Some things Happen When You Least Expect It Chapter 9
Morning at the hospital…
Anna was sleeping in the chair beside her son's hospital bed when Kevin came and woke her up. "Honey come on wake up," he said nudging her she stirred then slowly awoke.
"Oh I thought this was all a very bad dream but it actually did happened," she said looking at Taichi.
"Honey you can stay here I'm going to talk to the doctor," he said.
Anna nodded and Kevin left in search of a doctor.
He looked around and called the doctor who was treating Taichi, "Doctor what else can you tell me?" Kevin asked.
"For someone to be in a coma means that the body wants to recover from the trauma that has happened to it. But for us to tell if he has retained any brain damage from the alcohol poisoning and hypothermia is that he is to wake from it the soon the better," Dr. Greagson said explaining to Mr. Yagami.
"Is there anything we can do?" Kevin asked him.
"The best thing that can be done is that you talk to him like he is here sometimes in those rare cases they can hear you but they can't respond back. Even playing his favorite music or perhaps someone that he likes were to talk to him. It may be enough to get him to wake up," the doctor said.
"I see," Kevin said looking down to the floor.
"Taichi's blood alcohol level was at point twenty five percent when we tested it you have a twenty to fifty percent chance that he has brain damage but I'm pretty sure he would be fine. If the blood alcohol level was any higher then that his chances for brain damage would have been higher," the doctor said to him.
"Thank you doctor," he said.
"Remember that it is about a twenty-five and fifty percent chance," he said to him then left to see other patients.
Yamato was at his locker he tossed his books in it then slammed the door shut and rested his head on against his locker, "There must have been something else I could have done."
Koushiro then came up to him, "I heard about what happened," he said standing behind him.
"There should have been something else I could have done for him I don't even know if I did the CPR right," he said with his head still resting on the locker.
"Don't beat yourself up about it," Koushiro said trying to make him feel a little better.
"Yeah if it any one is at fault it's going to be me," Mimi said walking up to them.
"Don't say that," Yamato said now facing Koushiro and Mimi.
"How can I not, I never called 911," she said turning away from both of them.
Yamato and Koushiro looked at her with shocked expression on there faces then Yamato got angry, "YOU WHAT!" he said shouting in disbelieve. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CALL!" he said.
"I did try but Jeff stopped me," she said turning around to face him again.
"TAICHI'S LIFE WAS ON THE LINE AND YOU DIDN'T CALL" he said still shouting.
"Yamato clam down!" Koushiro said trying to stop the fighting.
"CLAM DOWN HERE I WAS BLAMING MYSELF FOR EVERTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED WHEN YOU'RE THE REAL ONE TO BLAME," Yamato said pointing at her spitefully and he left.
"YAMATO! I WANTED TO CALL BUT-" she stopped as he had just vanished around the corner.
"Yamato's just upset," Koushiro consoled her as she continued to cry then he helped her over to the study room and sat her on a chair there.
Sora and Hikari were sleeping side by side in the chairs in the waiting room. When Kevin came into the waiting room to wake them up, "Hikari, Sora," he called to them.
Hikari woke up first, "Dad?" she said yawning, "How is Taichi? Is there any change?"
"No he is still the same but I want you and Sora to go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat," he said to her.
Hikari nodded, "Okay," she said then he left the waiting room.
"Sora, wake up," Hikari said shaking her gently.
Sora sprung awake sitting up right and quickly asking, "What is it? Did something happen to Taichi?"
"No, he is still the same," Hikari said quietly. Sora just sat back down against the chair as before. "Come on Sora its morning you got to eat something," she said.
"No, I'm not hungry," Sora said.
"Yes you are and you're coming with me to the cafeteria," Hikari said dragging Sora along and Sora didn't even fight her either.
Jeff came down the hall toward his locker with out noticing Yamato had seen him. Yamato then went up to him and pushed him back angry.
"What's your problem Ishida?" Jeff said.
"My problem is you," Yamato said darkly.
"Me? What did I do?" Jeff answered sarcastically and was about to turn around and leave but Yamato stopped him.
"You're not leaving yet we need to have a little chat," Yamato said glaring at him, which scared Jeff suddenly.
"Look man I don't know what you're talking about so get lost," he said and shoved Yamato back. Yamato then swung his right hand back balling his right hand into a fist and punched Jeff square in the face. Soon they began to exchange blows, other students watched on cheering the fight on, it was enough to cause a lot of commotion that soon two teachers came and broke up the fight.
"It is my fault Koushiro. I should have watched him but I was mad at him because he didn't want to do anything with me!" Koushiro sighed turning his head the other way he saw Jyou coming up to them.
"Guys I heard about what happen," Jyou said.
"It's my entire fault," Mimi said starting to cry again.
Jyou and Koushiro frowned, "Mimi shhh, do you want everyone to come and ask you what is wrong?" Jyou said.
"Oh I'm sorry I don't want that," she sniffed a bit and wiped her tears off with a tissue she had in her purse.
"Hey, that's all right why don't we head over to the hospital and visit him," Jyou suggested.
"Okay, but I don't think his parents would want to see me," Mimi explained.
"I'm sure they would understand," Joe said trying to encourage her.
Sora sat playing with her food, "Sora? Aren't you going to eat?" Hikari said watching her, "Sora."
"Huh?" Sora answered coming out of her trance like state.
"Aren't you going to eat your food?" Hikari asked again.
"Oh, sorry Hikari," Sora said then looked down at her plate again.
"Listen, Sora you have to go in and see him," Hikari said suddenly.
"I need time, can't you see this hard enough on me!" Sora said shouting at Hikari people looked over at them then resuming their breakfast. "I didn't mean to yell but can you let me think about it," Sora said.
"There isn't time to think Sora he has to wake up in order for the doctors to do any tests on him go in and see him," Hikari said urging her, "I'm going up to see him okay? I expect you to show up there too."
Noon
Yamato came with the others came to the hospital that afternoon during lunch break seeing Hikari who had just came out of Taichi's room.
"Hikari, where's Sora?" Yamato asked.
She took a deep breath, "I don't know. I told her to come up here after breakfast down at the cafeteria but she never came," she said.
"Maybe I should find her," Yamato said.
"No, Yamato leave her she taking this all hard I tried to talk about it with her but I really do think she needs some time alone," Hikari said.
"It's understandable," Koushiro said.
"Could we go in and see him?" Mimi asked.
"My mom and dad are in there but you can go in," Hikari said.
The group of teens entered Taichi's hospital room just outside Ms. Takenouchi came over to Hikari.
"Ms Takenouchi if you're looking for Sora she isn't here," Hikari said.
"Why?" Karen questioned her confused Hikari simply shrugged her shoulders. Then Karen went to the door and looked into the ICU room.
In the park that was just across from the hospital, Sora was taking a walk to clear her mind in the cool winter air, "Why am I so scared to see him?" she wondered to herself. "He is my best friend I should be able to go in there and tell him that I'm sorry for yelling at him the way I did," she said. Tears formed in her eyes and started to run down her cheeks, 'I just don't want him to die because,' she shook her head. "No Sora your not thinking straight you like Yamato," she thought then continued walking, Your going in they're no matter how much it hurts to see him hooked up to all those machines, she told herself then turned around looking up to the Hospital and headed back to Taichi's room with determination.
Later That afternoon…
"Whoa Yamato what did you do?" Hikari asked she had just noticed that he had a fat lip and a little bit of a bruise appearing under his left eye.
"Nothing just got into a fight," he saw rather wearily.
"Oh," Hikari said.
"Well I'm going to head back to school I got to write a test for my last class and I don't want to write it some other time," he said as he left.
"I'm so sorry about what happen to your son Anna, Kevin," said Karen Sora's mom.
"I appreciate you coming for a visit Karen," said Kevin.
"I hope he gets better, that boy is like a son to me for the years we've all known each other for you know that," she said getting teary eyed as she looked into his hospital room.
"Thank for your support again." Anna said and they both hugged.
Night…
Sora finally arrived outside Taichi's hospital room she had changed out of her clothes from the party got on something more comfortable a pair of jeans and a pink v neck sweater.
Hikari saw her, "Sora!" Hikari said shouting and ran over to her, "Come on you have to go and see him," she begged.
"I was planning too, I just went home to change," she said then looked to Taichi's door, "Where's your mom and dad?"
"My dad convinced my mom to go home and rest they had been here since last night. I promised I'd call them if anything happen or if he woke up," she said.
"Well go on in," Hikari said encouraging her then physically pushed Sora lightly to his door.
She walked up to the door and looked through the window in the door she saw him laying in the hospital bed with the machines hooked up him and all around the bed board. They had taken off the ventilator tube from his mouth and he now was breathing in oxygen threw a tube that ran into both nostrils to another machine. Sora turned the handle on the door and opened it slowly she could hear the beeping noises from the heart monitor and various other machinery then looked at Taichi who was laying in bed unresponsive to her presence.
"Taichi," she began slowly as she approached his bed then sitting next to him, "I know you probably can't hear me...I want to tell you, that you got to fight," she felt tears rolling down her cheeks and wiped them away.
"You can't die, there are too many people that need you," a couple of her tears dropped onto his hospital bed then took his hand into hers.
"Your mom, your dad, your sister, and your friends all need you to be well and healthy again. I need you too Taichi so don't give up," she said then she began to cry, "Oh, who am I kidding you can't even hear me!" she said upset she went up to leave but she felt herself jerk back she turned around to Taichi, "Taichi?" She said as she watched him struggling to open his eyes.
