Chapter 5- Alone?

"W-w-what happened?" I sturrdered.

"You see, there was a car crash. He was in his BMW and a pick up truck hit the driver side door." The man informed me. "We tried to reach you but, I think that was your number in Ireland before you moved."

I dropped to the floor on my knees. Tears slipped away from my eyes. I quickly wiped them away with the back of my hand.

"Is he alive?" I whispered.

"Yes, but he's very weak and in a lot of pain. We cant guarantee how long he'll make it." He informed me. "I suggest you get to the hospital as fast as you can."

I hung up the phone and threw it across the floor.

"Can I use your car?" I asked jumping up.

Hunny flick the keys at me and followed me out the door. I grabbed a white trench coat on my way out and the first pair of shoes I could find. They were little black ballet slippers.

I jumped in the drivers seat and slammed the keys in to the ignition. I floored it. As I sped around corners the tiers squealed on the grounds. I skidded to a stop once I got to the hospital and ran in the door with Hunny close behind, and to the front desk.

"Where is my brother!" I demanded.

"Name?"

"Brenden Jay Gage."

She gave me directions and I ran as fast as I could to his room.

"Brenden!"

Warm tears were streaming down my face. I realized I was whereing my red tank top and shorts when Brenden looked me up and down.

He looked horrible. He had a bandage wrapped around his forehead and his leg was elevated and twisted the wrong way. And he was covered in dry blood.

I rushed to the side of his bed.

"Hey Royal." He whispered. "Who's this?" He looked at Hunny.

"A friend." Hunny answered for me.

I reached for his blood covered hand. His hand was wet though. Not dry. Where is all this blood coming from. I looked down. The blanket covering him was blood-soaked. I pulled it back slowly. My hand flew up to cover my mouth when I gasped.

His abdomen was completely soaked in bright red blood.

"Brenden…"

"I know. This suck doesn't it." He whispered.

I realized why he was whispering. He couldn't get anything more out.

"Royal you know how much I love you right?" He asked.

My breathing stopped.

"No…no. No! No! No!" I yelled. "You can't leave me. No. No you can't! I won't let you!" I screamed. That's when I realized Hunny was in the door-way, still.

"Royal, look how much blood I'm loosing. I love you. More that anything." He said. "And you." He looked back at Hunny. "Love her and give her what I couldn't."

"No. You won't leave me." I ordered.

"Royal. Im sorry."

I squeezed his hand.

"No. Please." I whispered.

"I love you, be safe."

His breathing became almost unnoticeable. Like he wasn't breathing at all. If he wasn't looking at me I would have thought he was dead.

"No. No you can't!" I yelled.

His eyes shut.

"No." I gasped.

My hand flew to his neck to check his pales. More blood.

It kept slowing little by little until there wasn't a pales anymore.

"No."

I pressed my hand to his chest.

"No."

No heart beat.

"No!" I screamed.

I lied my head on his chest and began to sob.

"You left me!" I chocked out.

"Nurse!" I heard Hunny called.

Hunny began trying to pry me off but I clung to Brenden.

"No! He left me! I needed him!" I Screamed.

Hunny won. He managed to yank me off and fell backwards on to the floor with his arms curled around me. I squirmed and swung my limbs around frantically, desperate to get free.

"Why?! Why'd you leave me?!" I screamed at my brother's lifeless body.

"NURCE!" Hunny yelled.

A lady in white came in and stabbed my arm with a needle. I fell backward in to Hunny's chest, unconscious.

My vision was blurry when I awoke. I blinked rapidly until I could see. I was in my room with Hunny lying next to me.

"What happened?" I asked sitting up.

He didn't answer me.

That's when I dawned on me. Brenden. Brenden. Brenden. He's… dead. No.

I began to sob once again. I fell on to the floor on my hands and knees, shaking violently. I can't breathe why can't I breathe. Hunny jumped in front of me and blew in my face. I sucked in. My brother, mom and dad used to do that to me. You were supposed to do that when a baby cries when they get hurt or something. It makes them breath in. It's just something I never grew out of. Pretty pathetic, I know. I coughed and heaved until my breathing was regular.

I crawled up on my bed and lied on my side. I curled up in to the tiniest ball I could make. My sobs stopped and tears fell from my eyes silently.

"He's gone." I whispered.

Mitsukuni nodded.

"He was all I had left."

He looked down at my bed. "

"I'm alone now."

His head snapped back up and he put his arms around me and pulled me in to his chest.

"No. No your not." He assured me, kissing my hair.

But he was wrong, truly wrong. My parents are gone, and now so is my brother. There all together, and I'm all alone. Just me, be myself.

"You're wrong." I whispered.

"No, I'm not. I'm right. You have Violet, Aimee, Madison, Kimmy, Kyoya, Mori, Hikaru, Kaoru and Me."

I closed my eyes and nuzzled into his neck.

"Royal, don't take this offensive, but I think you should take a shower."

"Why." I mumbled.

"Look at your hands."

What.

I leaned away from him and put my hands in front of my face.

I screamed.

Blood.

Hunny grabbed my quickly and pulled me into his chest again. More tears came. Blood. Brendens Blood. Hunny got up and walked to the bathroom door and set me on my feet.

"Shower." He said and shut the door.

I did.

When I came out of the bathroom Hunny was gone.

"See. Alone." I mumbled.

I flopped on to my bed and stared at the ceiling.

I heard the squeak of my bedroom door open and steps down the stairs. I looked to see Mitsukuni. He was carrying a bowel.

"Eat." He commanded.

It was leek soup. I obeyed him and ate all of it. I didn't feel like fighting. I just wanted to be quiet. My phone rang.

I didn't answer it. Hunny did.

"Hello." Someone on the other line began talking. "Yes. Here she is."

He held the phone up to me. I shook my head and turned away. He trusted the phone in my face. I yanked it out of his hand.

"Yes?" I muttered.

"Royal!" A frantic voice asked.

"M-Minka?" I stammered.

Could it really be her?

"Yes baby it's me. I got a call with the horrible news today. We'll be in Japan in a few days."

"Why."

"Well you do need some sort of guardian for the next two or three years."

"Oh."

"Well I need to go. See you soon."

She hung up.

"What a bitch, even at a time like this, she's so cheerful." I said with a scowl.

I fell back on my bed again. Hunny climbed up next to me.

"You know, you'll be okay right?" He asked, putting one finger under my chin and pulling my face up to look at him.

"No I won't. Every one in my family except Clea and Minka are gone."

I got up away from him and went upstairs to the kitchen. I went to the freezer and retrieved the Vodka bottle. I chugged the rest of it. Next I took out a beer. I chugged that too. I took out another and drank that. Hunny grabbed me and pulled me away.

"No." he said, sitting me on the floor. He pointed a finger in my face. As a reflex I bit his finger.

"Ouch." He smirked.

I let my teeth loosen and I closed my mouth. To distract him and got up and backed away. Leaving his finger, I went back to the fridge and took one more beer.

When I awoke in my bed I was alone. Hunny wasn't there like before. Although there was a note in his place.

It said,

Royal,

Odds are you have a hangover. You were drunk last night. You really shouldn't drink like that. Just to get drunk. I'll be back soon. Violet will be here soon.

Be careful.

Be careful. He's damn lucky he didn't say, Be safe.

"Royal?" A voice called.

"Violet?" I asked.

Someone skipped down the stairs and to me.

"Hey?" She said.

"Hi." I said reaching for her like a small child.

She sat on the bed and hugged me.

"How are you?"

I shrugged.

I was like a parasite I needed some one to latch on to, to be with. I fear being alone now.

Eventually we got up and went to the living room. We sat on the couch and watched TV. Well Violet did, I mostly stared out the window. She didn't talk much to me, and that was okay. I didn't want to.

I saw a limo pull up in my driveway. It drove out of view and stopped.

There was a light tap on the door. Violet got up and opened it.

"Gah!" She hissed. "Hunny's late."

She opened the door and Kaoru stepped in. Or at least I thought it was him considering he kissed Violet on the head a soon as he walked in. I couldn't tell him apart from Hikaru.

"Hey, Royal." He said looking at me.

I nodded in his direction and went back to looking out the window.

"Hunny will be here soon that we can leave." Violet informed him. "Or…" I heard foot steps and Violet bent down in front of me, to look me in the eyes. "Would you like for me t stay with you?" She asked and set her hand on mine.

I shook my head and forced the best smile I could. Behind Violets head I saw Hunny's Camaro pull up. I perked up the slightest bit. I got up and went to the door and waited.

Hunny opened it with out knocking. I let my body fall in to his, so I could rest on his chest, I left my arms at my sides and he put his arms around me. I noticed he was holding plastic grocery bags.

I looked up at him and raised one eye-brow.

"You were running out of food." He explained.

"Oh shoot!" Violet exclaimed and hit her head. "I'm so sorry, I forgot to feed you. I should of asked if you were hungry."

I didn't wan to talk. Instead I held up my hand and shook my head.
