Leon parked the ambulance, shutoff the engine, got out and opened the doors to the back. Riku followed Leon's lead and got out. When Leon opened the back doors Cloud got out, and Leon unlocked the stretcher and Cloud lowered the wheels. Each one of them got on one end of it and wheeled it into the emergency room. Nurses and other staff meet them on their way in.

Riku looked lost at what to do. Watching all these people was confusing. One person was answering questions, and another was looking at something. One of the nurses walked over to him and asked him "what is you relation to him? If I may ask that is"

Riku looked at her with some confusion and answered, "He's my friend. I was staying over his house for a few days and his mom is on a business trip."

"Is there anyway we can contact her?"

"Not that I know of, Sora didn't tell me if she did."

"So his name is Sora?"

"Yes Sora Hanamen" (yea I know it's a stupid last [no offense if it's your last name!! name but it should be the only time it comes up)

"Does he have any relatives in the area?"

"No, he doesn't even know his father is and his only other relative that I know of lives on the main land."

"Ok well thank you for your time. We are going to send your friend for an MRI of the head and an X-ray of the spine. If he doesn't wake up by the time we are done, even if we don't find anything we will be keeping him for observation."

"Ok thank you."

"No thank you sir. You have been a great help to us so far."

Riku watched as she was walking away. He wanted to be next to Sora, but they wouldn't allow it. Just as he was accepting this fact, he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see who owned it. It was Leon. "Hey kid why so down?" he asked.

"Well because I don't know what going on," Riku said thinking that would be obvious.

"Well that's understandable. You have to watch them do all this stuff and you don't understand what they are doing. But I can almost grantee that he is fine. It just looks like something hit him on the head and he fell over. It's nothing to worry about."

"That easy for you to say."

"Yea it is but let me tell you something. You see my partner over there?"

"What about him?"

"Well he may not be as worried as you are, but he's only a fraction below you."

"Why?"

"Because, he knows that someone loves him, he heard everything we were talking about in the rig. And let me tell you he knows a thing or to about this kind of situation."

"What?"

"Well I guess it would make sense for me to start at the beginning of the story hun?"

"Yea that would help."

"Well you see, it was about 5 years ago that Cloud joined up with this company. And at the time, we were paired together a lot. I got to know him really well. We were hanging out together all the time. Before I knew it, my girl was asking me to the movies and I denied because I had plans with him. Then one day, Cloud told me that he liked me. And by this point I had broken up with the girl because she thought that we didn't spend enough time together. I was shocked and I didn't know what to say. I told him no, that I was straight. I wasn't into guys. He gracefully took no for an answer and walked off. But then we stopped talking as much. And I realized how much I missed him. After 3 weeks of not talking to him or seeing him I was about to go insane because I was admitting to myself that I liked him back. Then one day we were partnered up together. It was awkward at first, but after about half an hour of the awkward silence, I cracked. I told him everything. He just sat there and listened to me open my heart out. And his only response was this and I'll never forget it, 'wow and it only took you a month to figure it out, I'm surprised. It took me a lot longer to admit it to myself' and with that said, we've been going out ever since."

"But what does that have to do with Sora and me?"

"Well the story itself… not much, but the moral is the same, just tell him."

"But what if you can't read him as well as you say you can"

"Well that's unlikely, because I've known him longer than you"

"What… how?..."

"Because I'm his cousin"
