Chapter 5

Tala's POV

I can't believe any of this is happening. The doctor should be coming back any minute to take us to see Kai.

But I'm scared. I don't want to see him like this. I've seen him bad, but a coma? What if he never wakes up?

What! Why am I thinking like this! Kai needs our help and support, and he needs it now.

I just have to pull myself together- the doctor is back. He says we can go see Kai now and he says he'll take us there.

Shit. I see Kai from outside his door…. But he looks so... I don't know. He has bandages everywhere, there are machines beeping all around him, IV lines in his arms. I can't go in there. I don't wanna see Kai like this.

Bryan pushed me in. I don't think my legs have felt so heavy before in my entire life. No one else is coming in, Bryan is nodding, telling the others something; I don't know what, I can't hear anything except the beeping. They're leaving.

I'll just sit down on the chair next to Kai's bed. I have to stay with him, no matter how it hurts to see him like this. All I have to do is talk to him. Hold his hand. Stay with him. That's what they do in all those movies and TV shows. And in the end the guy or girl wakes up, happily ever after.

I just hope that's what happens here. Who am I kidding? This is Kai Hiwatari we're talking about-- the perfect child, the perfect person. My one and only love.

a week later--

"—Hey Tala—"

Ugh. Don't wake me up. Please Bryan.

"—What?—"

"—You've been here non-stop. At least come and sleep on a real bed.—"

Kai hasn't changed. I've talked to him all week about our childhood, how Voltaire was and always will be a fucking asshole, and how everyone needs him back. My back's killing me from sleeping on these chairs, but I guess it's worth it.

"—Alright. Tonight I'll come.—"

He nods. "—Good. I'll go tell Spence and Ian.—" He leaves, pausing to look at Kai. It's amazing how he's able to look both sad and hopeful at the same time.

"—Well Kai. It's back to just you and me now. What to say, what to do. I'm a shitty singer but …

Inside a stone wall

Two windows are prisoners

The two tired, the two lonely

One of them is you, one is me

The wall is made of black stone

The stone is cold and hard

It has put a lock of silence

On our tired voices

We cannot move

Under the heaviness of the wall

All our love

Is a story of the story of the wall

It has always been distance

Between my hands and yours

With this bitterness

Our nights and days have past

There is no far distance between us

But even this is too much

The only connection between you and I

Is the kind hand of wind

We must stay prisoners

We will be alive as long as we are prisoners

For us, freedom is death

The moment we become free, we will die

I wish this wall would tumble down

You and I die together

In another world

We hold each other's hands

Maybe there wouldn't be

This pain in their hearts

Between their windows

There is no wall—"

I love that song.

"—I love you, Kai—"

There I finally said it. Not that you're really here to hear it.

Oh, what the hell. One kiss can't hurt.

Looking down at your perfect face with those blue tattoos on your cheeks, I just want to see your beautiful, deep crimson eyes.

Your eyes, I … holy fucking shit. Your eyes are. .. open?

"—Oh god. You're… awake—"

I could scream and yell and I'm happy I'm not doing either, I might freak him out.

"—Tala—" He's whispering, either because he doesn't want others to hear or his throat is just hurting. "—I love you, too—"

"—Seriously?—"

"—Absolutely—"

He kissed me.

God, this day has been incredible.

"—I'll go get your doctor and tell everyone your awake, alright? Just sit tight, or I guess lay tight, I don't know. I'll be back really soon.—" He nods and puts his head back into his pillow.

I kiss him lightly on the forehead, then I run out down the hall to get his doctor. He is more than ecstatic. I head down to the waiting room where everyone should be.

I run right into the Bladebreakers.

"Hey you guys! Kai's awake!" I didn't run very far but I'm a bit out of breath. Tyson jumps up, fist in the air, Max is smiling happily, and Rei looks relieved beyond all belief.

"That's great Tala! Now we just have to find out when he's gonna get out of here!"

I look around for Bryan, Spencer, and Ian.

"Where'd my teammates go?"

"Spencer and Ian had to go to the orphanage," Rei said, but he didn't need to finish; I saw Bryan.

"Why in the world is Bryan talking to that police officer?" The three of them shrugged.

I walk over to them. Bryan doesn't look too happy ; the officer nodded and went over to the front desk..

"—What's going on, Bry?—"

He looks like he wouldn't want to tell me for the world.

A./N. :
