Chapter Seven

Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to update this. You all know what happens when writer's block takes effect...anyway, on with the story!

Kokoro found herself tossing and turning as the night went on. Moonlight poured into her window, and it seemed that the whole sky was smiling down on her. Kokoro, however, wasn't smiling. She was tired, but she couldn't get to sleep if her life depended on it. Finally, she said,

"Fuck this!"

and got up. It was 2:30 in the morning, so she got herself a bowl of cereal and sat down on the couch to watch TV. There wasn't much on. Just infomercials, Fashion Today with Sophia Esteed, or some Menodix soap opera. Kokoro decided that infomercials would be just fine.

Kokoro was watching an infomercial about a car that was so luxurious, it could easily pass off as a house. Suddenly, she heard a noise at her window. She ignored it at first because she thought it was just the wind. She saw that she couldn't ignore it anymore when a rock flew through her window. The glass shattered to a million diamond-like fragments. She panicked and ran to her window, being careful not to step on broken glass. She saw Fayt at her window, who looked just as shocked as she did.

"Fayt, what the hell did you do?!?" Kokoro shouted.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Kokoro! I was just trying to get your attention!" Fayt said defensively.

"Well you did a great job at it! Didn't think that rock would go through my window now, did you?" Kokoro said.

"No, not really. Can you let me in?" Fayt asked.

"Okay, okay," she said as she went downstairs to unlock the door and let him in. "Fayt, why couldn't you have just used the doorbell?"

Since my doorbell incident back when I was seventeen, I refused to use one," Fayt said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Really? What happened?" Kokoro asked.

"Well, I was coming home from a party with Cliff and my friend Jimmy. I was drunk. They convinced me I was gay, and the doorbell was...well, you get the picture," Fayt said.

"Woah, woah, wait. You sucked the doorbell??" Kokoro asked.

"Apparently. That's what Cliff said the next morning. He said I stripped down for it and everything! Jimmy even got pictures! Let me tell you one thing though. Whoever lived at that house wasn't too happy." Fayt explained.

"You went to a total stranger's house??" Kokoro said incredulously.

"Yeah. The old man that was there started using all this symbology on me and stuff. Man, it was horrifying..." Fayt said.

"Aww man, that sucks. Heh, I gotta see the pictures sometime!" Kokoro said.

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to," Fayt said.

"Fine, be that way. Anyway, couldn't you have knocked?" Kokoro asked.

"Oh yeah...I forgot about that," Fayt said. "Anyway, I came because I wanted to know if you wanted to break into the hospital with me."

"Woah, woah. Fayt, have you been smokin' the herb again?" Kokoro asked.

"No, I'm serious! Come on, when was the last time we all did something exciting?" Fayt asked.

"Today?" Kokoro said.

"Exciting, Kokoro. Not traumatic. Besides, Cliff called me and said he already broke in. So what do you say? You in, or not?" Fayt asked.

"Ugh. Fine, I'll go." Kokoro said.

Kokoro and Fayt left the house and walked to Fayt's new car. It looked like they were walking toward thin air.

"Fayt, did you steal the Invisible Boat Mobile from the retirement home again?" Kokoro asked.

"Yeah, I actually did. What? It's not like it's illegal!" Fayt protested.

Erm, yeah it is. In any case, let's go," Kokoro said.

They got in, and Fayt revved up the engine. They bolted down the highway down to Shinee. When they got there, they parked in a secluded spot in the woods.

"Ready?" Kokoro asked.

"Yeah, let's go," Fayt said.

They began to walk to the building when the heard a familiar voice singing 'One Million Bottles of Beer on the Wall'.

"Hey, is that Cliff?" Kokoro asked.

"Hmm...I think it is!" Fayt said as they ran to the direction from where the sound was coming from. Sure enough, there was Cliff, sitting on a stump, drinking from a bottle of Blue Moon Cider.

"Cliff? What are you doing?" Fayt said.

"Hey guys! Want some cider?" Cliff asked.

"Cliff, are you drunk?" Kokoro asked.

"I'm NOT drunk! Damn lady won't let me see Cierra, and I got no clue which window's hers! Then I found someone's stash man! Want some?" Cliff said as he got up, only to fall over on Fayt.

"Hey, back off, he's mine!" Kokoro said.

"Heh, sorry. Guess I mighta had a few too many...oh look! A pool table! Let's fuck it!" Cliff said as he walked right into the bear trap he mistook for a pool table. "OWWWW!!! MOMMY!!!!!" Cliff wailed.

"Jeez. I didn't know Cliff was such a baby when he's drunk!" Fayt said.

"Shut up Fayt! Just get me outta this damn trap!" Cliff said. Suddenly, a confused Cierra staggered over to the window.

"What the hell's going on down there? Jeez, it's only three in the mor...Cliff? Oh my god, you're bleeding! I'll be right over!" Cierra shouted.

"Cierra, you're not going anywhere!" Fayt called up. But it was too late. Cierra jumped from her second floor window into a nearby bush, with gauze and hydrogen peroxide in hand. She got up and limped towards Cliff. She fell on her knees halfway there. Fayt and Kokoro ran to her and noticed some of her wounds had been reopened by the fall.

"Cierra, what the hell? You can't jump from a second-floor window the way you are now! Hell, you're not even supposed to be up right now!" Kokoro scolded.

"I know, but Cliff's hurt! I gotta go help him!" Cierra shouted. She got up only to fall down again.

"Cierra, you gotta learn to accept help if it's offered to you! Don't worry about Cliff. We'll take care of him. You need to rest up first. Besides, he's drunk," Fayt explained.

"I AM NOT! I just...Cierra? Hey baby what's up? And why are you bleeding?" Cliff asked.

"Cliff, get over here! I'm gonna dress your wound for you," Cierra said.

"Can't really move right now!" Cliff shouted.

"Fine, I'll come to you," Cierra said. She crawled over to Cliff and gently tried to remove the bear trap from his ankle.

"OW! Hey, easy with the removal!" Cliff said.

"I'm sorry, but it has to come off If I'm gonna heal it!" Cierra said.

Cierra pried open the trap, where blood was gushing out. She slowed down the bleeding with healing ray. She normally could've healed it right off the bat, but she was much weaker than usual. She put peroxide on the wound, which bubbled like crazy afterwards. She then wrapped up the ankle in gauze and kissed it to make it feel better.

"There. Feel any better?" She asked.

"Yeah baby, thanks!" Cliff said. "Now it's my turn to work on you," he added on as he slowly made a move to make out with her.

This was short lived, for the four of them saw flashing blue and red lights coming their way. The sirens given off were deafening. Kokoro's reaction to this was,

"Damn it. The cops are here."

And that's Chapter Seven for ya! Oh and by the way, I'm now hiring muses! Expect them to be there soon. Till next time, laters!
