Simbi's P. O.V
"How is she doing?"
"Not as well as I would have hoped, Arch" Arch normally calls to check in every now and then. This is the first time he's done it in a month
"Be honest with me Simbi. What's really going on there"
"She's not sleeping, she keeps having bad dreams. She's putting on a brave face but I think it's really starting to sink in just how bad her injuries are"
"is she still not healing?"
"she is healing. I've don't know what to do, Arch. She's on a lot of medication, a strict routine, she knows what she can do and what she can't, she knows her limits. Her injuries just seem to be healing extremely slowly"
"I'm going to need to set up tryouts aren't I"
"i think so. Originally I put her recovery time up to six months but now it's more likely to be up to a year. And even then her mental state is still out of sorts. She went through an extreme ordeal"
"we just need to be patient with her and maybe convince her to see a therapist or a specialist to talk to about what he did to her"
"How's the team doing?"
"They are also putting on brave faces, but they are missing her. No one more than D'jok"
"That's understandable. Even before they knew they were twins, they had a strong bond. They aren't used to spending so much time away from each other"
"Where is Alex now? "
"in her room. I think she wanted to talk to D'jok before her training"
D'joks P. O. V
So today is my birthday and it feels so weird to spend it without mia, and alex, I've still got micro but Alex has been with us through every birthday. If I had my choice I would have gone back to Akillian just to see her but Arch says that she's been really busy trying to get her strength back. I really miss her, shes my best friends and has been for as long as I can remember. Anyway today Arch has arranged an interview with Callie and Nork ta the studio. This will be our first major tv appearance since we've been back on Genesis.
Right now I'm finishing to put my suit shirt on when all of a sudden I received a video transmission. I sat down on the side of my bed and answered it
"Hello?" The video then appeared and it was Al.
"Hi D'jok"
"Hey! I didn't I'd hear from you today"
"Seriously you're my twin brother do you really think I'd forget that it's your birthday"
"No but I know that you are busy healing for one and trying to get back to us, to the Snowkids"
"Yeah, well I didn't really want to tell you this but there's a chance that I won't be able to come back as soon as we thought"
"What?, how come?"
"Well Simbi says that my injuries are still pretty bad, I mean i can just about walk around on crutches"
"So you won't be back for the start of the friendly matches"
"Looks that way. Arch is going to look at setting up some tryouts and says that in the end I get to choose who's going to replace me" I sighed and ran my hand through my hair before saying
"I can't imagine doing this without you again. It was so hard to get through the cup match knowing that you wouldn't be by my side like you always have been, I jus… I just can't"
"you can do this. You've still got Mice, Thran and Ahito, with you. But most of all you need to keep going so when I so come back I'll be back at Genesis and not here in Akillian"
"How long roughly until you'll be back"
"6 months to a year, possibly even Longer"
"You're Joking, does anyone else know"
"No i shouldn't have even told you"
"Alright, despite how good is to see you I gotta go, we've got an interview on Arcadia news. First one since being back"
"Alright, I hope to see you in person soon. Have a good day, And stay out of trouble please, bye D'jok
"See ya" the transmission ended and I finished getting ready.
I hate wearing a suit, I really do but for the snowkids this is a pretty important interview so Arch says we have to wear formal Attire. We are currently at the studio in a green room waiting to be called onto set. Everyone is dressed nicely and there's some gently conversation in the room but i can't stop thinking about the conversation i had with Al. after a few minutes in the green room i started to pull on my collar when Arch came over and sat next to me, he then said
"You've spoken to Alex"
"Yeah"
"And, what did she tell you"
"That there's a chance she won't be back for 6 months to a year"
"D'jok there's more to it than that. She might not be back because of her injuries, recently whilst training Simbi noticed that she really isn't healing like she should be, she didn't heal at all whilst in the coma and that was really a set back for her" i took a deep breath and then said
"Coach do i need to be here"
"Honestly it would be good for you to be here but if you need to go back to the Hotel, it's your choice"
"I gotta go" i got up and immediately felt dizzy and sick, i then started to see spots and soon all i saw was black and then someone yelling my name
"D'JOK!"
Alex's P.O.V.- On Akillian
After the call with D'jok i had to go to my daily workout session. I use the sessions to practice walking without crutches or just use the sessions to work on getting the strength back in my arms. It was really nice to talk to D'jok even if was for only a few minutes, i haven't really been allowed to talk to any of the Snowkids because of all the work I've been doing and Arch didn't really want me to tell them anything about our condition, but I had to tell my brother. A couple of days ago Dad came by and spoke to Mia, I'm are not 100% sure what they were talking about but i think he was thanking her for watching out for us. Even though Mia split us up as babies we did basically grow up together and she's been looking out for me as well as D'jok for years.
Anyway i've been in the workout room for about an hour and I'm currently taking a break. I'm lying down on one of the chairs whilst simbi stepped out for a bit. I then said to myself
"My everything hurts" that's when it hit me, just how much I miss the team. For so long I was alone but then Arch came to Akillian and brought the Snowkids together, he gave me the family I always wanted. Simbi then came in and she looked panicked I sat up saying
"What's wrong"
"Its D'jok, we need to get to Genesis"
"Simbi I can't walk"
"I know, but we have to go, he needs you " She brought over my wheelchair before saying
"Go get changed, you've still got things on Genesis so you don't need to pack"
"Is he okay"
"I don't know, all I know is that he's in a hospital at the moment, Arch is trying to get him moved back to the Hotel" I'm starting to worry now, i then moved as quickly as i could and went to my room to change. I changed into a pair of denim jeans that can go over my casts easily, a black long sleeve top, I then put on my black fingerless gloves and carefully put on my Cast boot protector things before grabbing my black leather jacket. I then got back into my chair and went to join Simbi, by the private shuttle. We got onto the shuttle and took off almost straight away.
Arch's P.O.V.
D'jok had a huge panic-attack and passed out at the studio, but before anyone could react to what was happening he'd smacked his head on a table. He was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a severe concussion and they wanted to keep him in for a few days. However I knew of he'd stay there he would get ambushed by all kinds of reporters so I arranged to have him moved back to the Hotel infirmary where we know reporters aren't allowed. We don't know what caused the panic-attack or why it happened all of a sudden but I think it had something to do with the conversation we had before it happened so I made a call back to Akillian and informed Simbi what was going on. She says that His mom can't get off work to come and see him so we made a more drastic decision, to let Alex come to Genesis to see him. No one knows that shes coming so it should be interesting to see how they react. Currently I'm standing outside of the Infirmary watching D'jok chat with Micro-ice, Thran and Ahito, it was an hour until he fell asleep. I told the boys to leave him sleep for a bit, they went off somewhere else but I stayed close to the infirmary. When simbi informed how close they were o genesis i sent Clamp to go and meet them at the astroport. D'jok woke up before they got back
D'jok P.O.V.
I just woke up, I don't know how long I've been asleep and I don't really head is pounding and my entire body is a aching, apparently that's expected after having a panic attack like the one I had. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Arch came into the room. He sat down in the chair next to me and before he said anything I said
"Sorry Coach"
"Don't be. You couldn't help it, I just wish you could have told me or anyone that this has been affecting you this much"
"I didn't realise it was affecting me this much. I know I miss her but today, just the thought of her not coming back freaked me out I guess. She's the reason I got this far" there was then a gently knock at the door, we looked up and it was clamp. Arch then said
"You up for a visitor"
"Sure" Arch got up and walked towards the door saying
"Unfortunately your mother couldn't get off work. So we brought the next best thing" the door then opened fully and My sister came in. i sat up completely shocked by her being here, i then said
"What are you doing here" Alex sat down on the bed and said
"I heard what happened so I came to see you. What part o stay out of trouble did you not understand" it all then came crashing down, just how much i missed her. My eyes started to water as i said
"Shut up" I gently wrapped my arms around her and she hugged me tight as i just let it out, i started to cry. She said
"It's okay I'm right here"
"Don't leave"
"Shh it's okay, I'm won't go anywhere. I missed you" I then looked up at arch, Clamp and Simbi before mouthing
"Thank you"
