A Nindroid's Tears: Forgotten 2

by A. L. Huang

Zane is in an accident and goes into a coma. His family turns him off for a year, not realizing their Nindroid can perceive everything, even after dead. Can a touch after that long, from a loved one, bring him back? If he does return, will people accept him? What has changed in a year? He was intending to tell Pixal about his memories. Rated T for my usual violence stories.

Chapter 4

Emergency

Please, please, turn green! I tap the steering wheel nervously, waiting at the red light while cars casually drive by, oblivious to our plight. The light turns green and I press on the gas, speeding through traffic. I hear a loud beeping sound and turn to my left to see a truck heading our way and I swerve, but it's too late. The vehicle slams into my window with tremendous impact, forcing me to fly out of my seat and smash through more glass, shards everywhere as I pass through Pixal's passenger window. I hit something hard, feeling pain in my jolting body as I crash on the asphalt. I lay face upward, staring into the sky and slowly get up, severe pain in shoulder as I attempt to stand. A swoon rushes over me and I stumble forward, leaning against the wrecked car and peer through the window.

Pixal opens her door, shoving the air bag out of her way, coming out perfectly fine, except a bit of wires are exposed on her arm. Melissa opens her eyes with a gasp as I open the back door, and she comes out without a scratch, thankfully. Cole puts Kai in his lap, scooting to our side, and carrying our brother out. Kai looks as if he hit his head, and shards of glass are imbedded in his arms and shoulder. Cole has a bloody head, and he stumbles, nearly dropping the fire ninja.

"Give him to me," I say and take Kai into my arms, my brother's weight making shoulder feel in more pain, tenfold, and my swoon becomes more potent every passing second as I rush to the hospital while the others follow me. The hospital is only a few blocks away.

I let out a small cry from the pain and Pixal asks, "Do you want me to take him?"

"No, I'm alright," I respond. I don't look at the damage done to me so I will not feel as weak, but I am going to have to at one point. Hang in there, brother! We're almost there. I reach the hospital doors as Melissa, Pixal, and Cole open them. I rush through, shouting, "Doctors, help!" Several doctors and nurses rush up to us with a bed with wheels, and I drop him on as they hurry to the ER. Everything makes me feel sicker and I put a hand to my head, the floor rushing up to me as my knees buckle. Everything turns black.
