"It was a time of holiday cheer…A time of breaks from school and homework…and a time of more frequent story updates!"
My Christmas break will officially start this week, so I will be able to put up chapters more often for a while now:)
Is Love Joy or Sorrow?
Chap. 19 Life's Not Simple
As Riku sat at the hospital in the waiting room, the sound of a car screeching to a halt echoed in his head…
It's all my fault…I could've walked her home. I could've protected her…
He was trying so hard to get that scene out of his head, but nothing would work.
Soon, the double doors of the room flung open as Sora and Kairi ran in.
"Riku! Is she okay?" Sora asked him.
"I…I'm not sure, you guys. She's been unconscious for a couple hours now."
Kairi sat in the chair next to Riku, trying to comfort him, "She'll be fine. Don't worry."
"It's…all my fault, too. I…I feel so awful."
He buried his face in his hands and wept as Kairi hugged him tight.
Sora sat next to Kairi and was starting to get moisture in his eyes as well just thinking about the situation. An unexpected thought came to his mind at that moment…
"Hey, Sora?"
"Hmmm?".
"Do…..do you think it will always be like this? Will we always stay together?"
"Of course…Why would you think we wouldn't?"
"I don't know. Maybe…Maybe I'm just scared something will happen."
What…what if the same thing happened to Kairi? What if she somehow got…hurt?
Sora soon had tears streaming down his face and grabbed his girlfriend's hand in a tight squeeze. He now knew how Riku felt…why he was feeling so sad and depressed.
Kairi looked up at him, "Not you, too, Sora…"
She put a hand on his face and turned it so she could look him straight in the eye.
"Natalie will be alright."
Sora wanted to tell her why he was really crying…so he did, "It…It's not that."
"Then…what's wrong?"
"I…I could never imagine what it would be like if…if….."
"If what, Sora?"
"If I lost you…if something ever happened to you I don't know if I could…go on living my life. I just couldn't…"
Kairi gave him a quick peck on the check and held him close to her.
"Well, I'm here now…aren't I?" a tear trickled down her check when she spoke, "I'm here, Sora."

"Kairi…this is for you. I want you to always be with me."
-----
"Yes, Sora…yes I will."
-----
"I now pronounce you…"
-----
"Sora, is…is this a dream? Because I never want it to end."
-----
"Look at her, Kai…she looks just like you."
-----
"Leave me alone! What do you want?"
-----
"Don't step any closer. Or else the girl di-"
-----
"Kairi…I love…I love…y-"
-----
"SOOOORRRAAA!"
-----
"Sora?...Sora, are you okay?"

"Sora? Sora, wake up!"
"AH!" his eyes popped open, "K…Kairi?"
Was it…just a dream?...Or is it…
"You were having a nightmare. You okay?" the red head asked him.
"Yeah…I'm okay, Kai. I guess."
Sora looked out the window to see that it was dark outside.
"How long have we been waiting?" he wondered.
"Quite a while. Riku's still asleep. He dozed off, too."
Their conversation was cut short when a nurse came out.
Kairi shook Riku to wake him, "Riku! Riku!"
"Wha-? Oh, Kairi…any news?"
He then saw the nurse and stood up.
"Is…is she going to be alright?"
The nurse replied, "She's awake now. But we don't know what's going to happen. You can go in to see her if you like."
Riku was scared. He didn't want to see Natalie in that awful condition again.
He turned around, "You two gonna come?"
Sora and Kairi smiled. He took that as a yes.
OKAY! Hope you all liked that! Right now I'm kind of at a roadblock. If you review can you give me some ideas of what to do with the plot next? THANKS!
