After talking to the team, i went to my room to think. I've been laying down on my bed just staring at the ceiling for about 40 minutes. I was dragged out of my thoughts when a knock at my door. I sat up on my elbows and said
"It's open" the door then opened and D'jok walked in saying
"Hey" he sat down on my bed as i said
"Hey" he looked down at his hands and said
"You aren't staying, are you"
"I can't. Everything happened here. I just need more time" i leant forward, held his hand i said
"You're my brother and i love you. but …." he cut me off by saying
"It's too hard for you to be here"
"Yeah, i'll stay for a few weeks. But in the long run, i need time. Now give me a hug" he carefully wrapped his arms around me. I then said whilst still in the hug
"When i go back to Akillian, i want more than one call, okay. We stay in touch, yeah"
"Yeah" He then pulled out of the hug and said
"Oh i almost forgot" he put his hand in his jacket pocket and pulled something out whilst saying
"This belongs to you" he opened his hand revealing my necklace.
"Where did you find this. I thought it was lost"
"Micro-ice found it the day we were kidnapped"
"D'jok…" He cut me off by saying
"I'll do the interview with you"
"You read my mind"
"It's a twin thing"
4 days later
D'joks P.O.V.
It's been 4 days since alex arrived an Genesis and today happens to be the day the Alex and i have got an interview with Callie. Due to Alex leg we aren't going to the studio, so callie is coming to us. We came up with a cover story a couple of days ago and she knows it off by heart now. Arch respected her decision for not staying, Arch Knows everything that happened to her and understands why she want to go back to Akillian. She said that she was going to stay for 2 weeks, and we got a lot to catch up on. In the past 4 days her white
cast is covered in writing and small doodles put there by the team.
Anyway right now, Alex and i are sat in the chill out room with Arch waiting for Callie to arrive. Arch is just making sure that we know what we are saying and what not to say.
"You know the story, just lead with that. I'm going to talk to Callie when she gets here.." I cut him off by saying
"Coach, we get it. We'll be fine" he then walked towards the door, Al then muttered
"Anyone would think he's more nervous then us" I nudged her and said
"You sure you're okay to do this"
"I'll have to do it sooner or later. Best get it out of the way now" Callie then arrived. Arch spoke to her about what she could ask and what not to ask, he also told her not to push with the questions. After having a lecture from Arch, she came over. I stood up to greet her, and after I shook her hand she sat down and shook Alex's hand, she then said
"It's good see you feeling better alex"
"Thanks Callie. Not 100% yet, I'm getting there" she then looked at her watch and said
"Well we're on air in 10 minutes" the cameras set up and Callie got ready.
Alex's P.O.V- 10 minutes later
"Hello dear Holo-Viewers. As you can see I'm not in the normal studio. That is because yesterday evening I got a call from coach of the Snowkids, Arch. Well as you all know, star striker of the Snowkids, Alexandria, was involved in an accident just before the cup matches. All we know is that she was in a coma, but she woke up nearly 2 months ago. Well I'm proud to tell you viewer's I'm at the Snowkids Hotel with the star strikers D'jok and Alexandria" the camera zoomed out so all three of us were in shot. Both D'jok and I waved at the camera before Callie said
"now we will talk about what happened to you Alex in a moment but first D' jok. A few days ago the Snowkids were in the studio for an interview but something happened before you had to come out, what did happen?" I sat back as D'jok went to answer her question
"Well Callie, to be honest with you i had a major panic attack and the studio and blacked out. When I blacked out I fell and managed to smack my head on one of the tables. I was taken to the hospital, nothing too serious just a concussion"
"Now what caused the panic attack if you don't mind me asking" he looked over his shoulder at me, I just patted his shoulder and said
"Oh do tell them D'jok" he smiled before turning back to the camera and saying
"When we first started this journey, everyone could see the bond that Alex and I share. We grew up together, we learnt how to play football together. Ever since we were kids I always dreamed about being where we are now, but only if my best friend was at my side. When the Snowkids heard about the accident, everyone was worried about Alex. At one point we actually considered dropping out of the cup but if we did we would have had the wrath of Alex, and trust me she has a temper. Arch convinced us to stay in the cup but we knew we would have to play one man down making it harder for us. I personally struggled with that knowing she wouldn't be with me…" Callie cut him off by saying
"Is that why you seemed completely out of it during the final match?"
"Yes, I couldn't focus on the match. But I finally got my act together after getting a lecture from the others. Anyway after the match as you know, we took some time off. We took that time off to be with our families and so we could be there for Alex for when she woke up from the coma. Everyone on the team would sit with her but I was there every day, each day it was getting harder and harder so she Alex so weak, so broken.
It was only when we were about to leave, she woke up but was still so weak. All the same we had to leave Akillian and we were under strict orders to let Alex focus on her recovery so we weren't supposed to call. I was still really struggling with this emotionally. Now a few days ago whilst getting ready for the interview I received a call from Alex, I was so happy to talk to her but then she told me something which really messed my head up. When we were at the studio Arch clarified something Alex said which really didn't help, I was going to leave the studio and go back to the hotel but everything happened"
Callie then said
"Thank you for sharing that with us D'jok. It's nice to see that you are recovering from the head injury and we know it won't stop you from training. Now after 2 months we're about to hear the story that almost took one of the favoured Snowkid away from us. Alex, What happened?" I sat forward and said
"to cut a long story short, Between the Semi-final and the final matches I started going for long runs around Genesis for a little bit of extra training. When I did go out pretty early in the morning so there was no people around. Anyway on the day of the incident I was out like every other morning, that was until a car malfunction and turned off the driving lanes. Like I said there weren't many people around but there was a young woman walking by with headphones on completely unaware of the out of control car heading her way. I ran as fast as I could to get to her and luckily I got there in time to push her out of the way, but couldn't get myself clear" Callie then said
"so you're telling us that not only are you a football star but you can add hero to the resume" I just smiled at her, she then said
"How come we didn't hear about this accident sooner?"
"Arch knows people in high placed. It was kept out of the news and off the record"
"Now your injuries, the main one obviously seems to be your leg, tell is about those"
"Yeah so obviously the most visible one is my leg. Basically there are 5 breaks in my Fibula and my Tibia is broken is broken in 7 places" she then said
"Blimey, that must hurt a lot"
"The pain is immense but I've got a great doctor helping controlling the pain"
"Now your other injuries?"
"Right, 13 of my ribs were broken but a few have healed now, I had some internal injuries that needed surgery. The most serious injury was actually in my head, over the six and a half months I had 4 surgeries to fix a rather bad bleed on my brain"
"Well you Snowkids never fail in keeping us on our toes. Okay, now the questions that's on everyone's minds, are you going to stay here on Genesis? And when will we see you back on the pitch?"
"Let's answer the second question first, I won't be back for some time, Callie. My leg will take months to heal and then I'm going to have to get my strength back to actually last the length of a match. So it will be some time before you guys see me on the pitch"
"Okay. You skipped my first question, why is that?"
"when I came here to support D'jok after his panic attack I didn't count on staying. I thought I'd be her for a few days before heading back to Akillian"
"What changed?"
"Arch surprised everyone on the team by coming out with the idea of me staying. It really shocked me but after some thinking time and a heart to heart with my best bud, I came to the decision that right now it would be best for me to focus on my recovery with minimal distractions that I just can't do here. So in a couple of weeks I'll be going back home to Akillian" she then said
"Alright, I understand why you've chosen to do that but aren't you both afraid that history will just repeat itself?. D'jok you said it yourself, you struggled without having Alex here" I then answered
"We've actually already spoken about that. To make sure this doesn't happen again, we'll be keeping in touch this time, and talking on a daily basis" D'jok then said
"Someone very close to the both of us said something to me whilst Alex was in the coma, he said that me and Alex have a seriously strong bond, and nothing can break that. Nothing, whether we're right next to each other or a million miles apart. Nothing can or will break D'jok and Alex apart. And trust me when I say, we've been through a lot together"
