Benji

I turned back into the room with a loud whistle. A goofy smile was plastered on my face. "I need to chat with Lucki for a bit. Privacy please?" I asked, still grinning like an idiot, might I add.

Everyone looked at me judgingly. I shrugged and made a 'shoo' motion with my hands. They took the hint and left me alone with Lucki. She leaned back in her seat.

"What?" The blonde smirked. I sat at the foot of my bed. "I have a proposition for you." I sighed. Lucki popped her gum. "I'm listening."

"Well, the doctor was telling me that if I could get a match for my bone marrow, I might be rid of this cancer, yet." I began. This had to be said in a gentle way. "You're my match, Lucki." I bit my hand nervously after stating this.

Lucki pursed her lips in a thoughtful manner. Decades might have passed before she answered. Though, when she opened her mouth to speak, I quickly cut her off. "All expenses will be paid, of course. And if you want me to compensate, I'll pay you as much as you want." I smiled crookedly.

I was ranting, and I probably came off to strong, but she had my life in her hands. If my mom were here, she might've negotiated better. My parents were in Asia talking to some therapeutic specialist for any kind of curing methods or herbs and that crap.

Lucki popped her gum once more before speaking. "Benji, do I look like an idiot?" Needless to say, my spirit fell. I dipped my head. "No."

"Honestly! A life can't be compensated for, Benji." She yelled. "I know." I nodded grimly. "And, I'm not the bitch to make you pay to live! Jeez Benji, I thought you knew the kind of person I was." She held a hand over her heart dramatically.

I began to smile. "Seriously?" I whispered. Lucki sighed angrily before smiling. "Seriously."

We laughed and I attacked her in a hug. This seems to be the end to all of my private chats with people, lately.

"Thank you so much Lucki. Words can't describe my undying love for you right now!" I began to sob.

This girl was giving me the chance to live. There really might be hope for me. I might live…

OoO

Kyouya

I sighed, aggravated.

There's limited time with her as it is. Why does she need to keep leading me away? I placed a hand over my forehead in an annoyed fashion.

"Relax, Kyouya." Tamaki shoved me slightly. "They need to talk. It won't take long." He smiled. Something told me he wasn't so sure about this himself.

He didn't understand. If this ended badly, his girlfriend wouldn't be the one getting buried. Of course he'd be easy going about this.

But, either way, I shouldn't be so upset with him. He is only trying to help. Failing, but he is trying. I shut my eyes for a minute to be alone with my thoughts. Before I was able to even think Lucki walked out biting her lip. Hikaru approached her. She held a cautious hand up to stop him.

"I've got a little news for you all." She smiled. It was obvious that she had been crying. Lucki stood there staring at us all with a wide grin. She was obviously taking a dramatic pause.

I rolled my eyes with annoyance. "Just cut to the chase." I ordered. She glared at me. "I'm milking this moment for all the drama it's worth, so shut it, nerd." Lucki spat. I raised my eyebrows at her.

She collected herself and sighed happily. "It's about Benji…There's a large possibility that Benji will live." The blonde began. Everyone's expression lit up. I just looked through the door to Benji's room. "What?" Aiko whispered tearfully.

Lucki nodded. "I," she held a hand to her chest, "am a perfect match for her bone marrow. Therefore, if I surgically give her some of my bone marrow, Benji will hopefully pull through this…Or at least go into remission." Lucki gulped. I stood.

Liv fell to her knees, and everyone began to sob. My hands were in fists, clenched to my side. Minutes passed before I got the nerve to walk into her room.

She was crying. Her eyes were gazing at the window. A small smile framed her face. I couldn't do or say anything just then. I felt my heart skip in realization.

Benji's going to live.

And a tear fell from my eyes. I clenched my teeth and approached the uncomfortable cot. "Are you alright?" She whispered. I looked at her in defeat. She knew me too well. "I…Guess I will." I still had my jaw clamped, for no other reason than to hold back my tears.

My eyes traveled across her face, and I knew I couldn't look at her anymore, or I'd lose it. I held my head down, and kneeled beside her bed. Though, what she did next shattered my strength.

Benji shifted to face me, took my head and held it in the crook of her neck. My voice came out in muffled sobs. I clutched her right hand with all of my strength, fearful that if I didn't, she'd fade away.

I could feel, and hear everyone behind us staring and crying as well.

This was the first time I'd really cried in front of anyone. I didn't care. Benji was going to live…She is. She will. I kept this thought in my head and began to sob harder.

OoO

Liv

I was on my knees with my head in my hands, sobbing like a two year old. This was too much. It was like having a two ton truck pull itself off of you. The relief just caused me to collapse into myself.

Mori had a hand on his head with a wide smile. The gleam of tears in his eyes was barely noticeable. I sunk down farther into the ground. Tears wouldn't stop falling. It was as if I couldn't cry any more.

But of course…

The sound of footsteps slowly moving into Benji's room caused me to look up. It was Kyouya. I began to sit up slightly as Kyouya fell to his knees beside Benji. At first, there was the inevitable thought that we'd all be crying, but Kyouya seemed dazed by it all. I didn't think there'd be any tears from him. But then, Benji took him closer to her chest, and he began to weep endlessly.

My tears came back like a ton of bricks.

But now, I had a huge smile on my face. I turned to see that everyone was in fact bawling their eyes out. Tamaki was smiling hugely while Haruhi's face was buried in his shirt. The twins held their girls close.

Aiko was sobbing quietly, while Lucki had a wide tearful smile.

It was too much. I got to my feet hurriedly. Everyone gazed at me in confusion, even Benji. I turned to run toward her and Kyoko. She got the idea and hugged me with her free arm. Kyouya looked up at us. He smiled and snaked his arm around my back.

It didn't take long for everyone to follow me. I snickered quietly as they joined the hug. "What?" Benji smirked. "You're never doing this again, or you're fired from life." Lucki stated. Everyone chuckled.

My head peeked out of the large mess of hug and scanned the group.

So this is our family…

I never needed my Mom. She wanted to drink her life away and end up in rehab for years on end, these were the people who'd help me through the stress. When she'd come home this year, these were the people who'd guide me through forgiveness.

I didn't need anything more. Benji, my best friend, my sister, and my therapist is going to live. When she's fully healed, we'll be back and unstoppable. It was as simple as that.

We were family.

OoO

:D

So, this was kind of short. Sorry. :\

But we're not done here yet. Benji and Lucki have surgery to endure. ;] We'll hear more about THAT next time. :3

So you like?

Don't like? D:

Review! :D

Well…To wrap up this bit of nonsense.

I'm ~*AAWAFDD*~ And I remember so you don't have to. :D
