The heart is a fragile thing. To much pain can lead to an empty, broken feeling.
Kai's P.O.V.
I was with Amanda, Cole and Zoe when Amanda got the call. We had been watching Turbo. (I love that movie. That snail is fast!) Amanda's phone rang. I looked at her. She looked at her phone, her brown hair falling around her shoulders.
(Honestly, I dunno what her hair or eye color was, so I'm winging it)
Amanda frowned, and walked into a different room. I watched her facial expressions. If anyone wanted to hurt her... Well, things wouldn't end pretty. She looked fine. That is, until they told her the news. She looked so scared. Zoe noticed. She got up, and walked over to Amanda. They exchanged a few words. Zoe nodded, and walked over to Cole and me.
"Who can drive? We need to go to the hospital."
The ride there was long and dreary. Everyone was silent. Cole was driving with me sitting shotgun. We may not get along the best, but in a crisis, we worked great together. Zoe was in the back, trying to calm Amanda down. Neither would tell what had happened. Zoe, 'cause she was a little busy making sure that Amanda wasn't going into shock. Amanda, 'cause she was too panicked. I glanced at Cole. He kept his eyes on the road. Thank god.
On the way there, we had almost gotten hit twice by the same car. Seriously?! Come on people, we're kinda in a hurry here! After that, there was a lot of cursing. Mainly from me. Hey, don't judge. You would too if you had almost died. TWICE. The car that had almost hit us looked familiar. Apparently Zoe noticed too. She started at it.
"No freaking way..." She muttered. "No offence," I started. "But I'm really starting to hate your mom." Zoe looked at Amanda, who's face was pale. Even though she looked freaked, she still looked beautiful. Wait, did I just say that?
-Zoe- 'Yes. Yes you did.- Me- 'Okay, really? I'm supposed to be the one narrating!'-
This is starting to get on my nerves.
-Cole- 'I feel ya Kai'- Me- 'Okay peeps, butt out!'-
I officially hate this.
I looked at the road. We were almost there.
"Hey uh, anyone wanna tell us who we're seeing?" Cole asked. "Amanda's sister Blair. She was in a car accident." Zoe explained. I nodded. As much as I hated Blair, we had to make sure that she was okay.
Cole drove in, and parked. Everyone got out of the car, and burst through the doors. I walked to the front desk, the others following. "Excuse me, but where's Blair Todd's room?" I asked. "We're friends of hers." The lady smiled. "Floor two, room one hundred and three." She told us. "Thanks."
We -Amanda, Cole, Zoe, and I- walked to an elevator. I pushed the buttons. (An odd addiction. Hey, at least it isn't drugs, am I right? No? Eh, whatever)
I heard an old classic song playing. My eyelids felt heavy. Cole waved his hand in front of my face. "Dude," He gave me a funny look. I shook my head. "Man, are they trying to make the visitors fall asleep?" I asked. Zoe put her hand to her face, and slowly shook her head. "Really Kai?" She asked. I shrugged. "Just trying to lighten the mood." I deffended. "Well don't. You're making Amanda feel worse." I looked, and saw that Zoe was right.
I walked over to Amanda. She looked at her phone as if expecting a call. "Are you okay?" I asked. I knew that Amanda and Blair didn't exactly get along that well, but I also knew that they still loved each other. Ugh, I sound like a girl. [Ow! What was that for, Zoe!?]
Amanda shrugged. "Yeah." She lied. I frowned. I looked at Zoe for help. She was studying me and Amanda like a complicated battle plan. Cole nudged her, nearly sending her into a wall. "Whoops, sorry. Forgot your smaller than the others." Cole steadied her. As he did, the door dinged. Amanda ran out. Zoe followed her. Cole and I shrugged and followed.
Blair looked awful. She had cuts all over her face, arms, and legs. Her right arm was broken, and her breathing was shallow. Amanda started to cry. The door opened. "Mom, dad!" Amanda ran towards her parents. I watched wistfully. My parents were both dead. I lived with Sensei Wu, along with my sister Nya. Zoe noticed.
Amanda's mom had long brown hair, and striking green eyes. A spray of freckles went across her nose. Amanda's dad had sandy colored hair, blue eyes, and an earring. Amanda's mom cried when she saw her oldest daughter. Mr. Todd tried to soothe her, but couldn't. Zoe looked at them.
"Guys, we should leave." Zoe ushered us out and into the hallway.
"I feel really bad for Amanda." I said. Cole nodded, and sighed. "I don't think she'll make it. Her case was a lot worse than my mom's." Zoe looked at him, a look of defiance in her eyes like, 'We made a deal buddy, so shut it.' That's weird.
I thought about Amanda for the next few days. Everyday, she went to visit Blair. She had once claimed that she had moved, but I think that Cole may be right.
Blair's P.O.V.
I could hear everything around me. The sound of my parent's crying, the sound of Amanda talking, saying that I would get better, the sound of Crystal and Nya telling me about their day. As each day passes, I can feel myself slowly slipping away, getting closer to death. The thing is, I wasn't scared. When I was little, my best friend Matraz had died. Now, I'll be able other join him. I hope Mom and dad will forgive me. I hope that Amanda will be okay. I'm coming Matraz.
Amanda's P.O.V.
I was sitting by Blair's side when a beeping snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at the breathing monitor. It was getting flatter by the second. I had a panic attack. I dialed the front desk. Just as the man picked up, the line went flat. There was a loud, long beep. Blair was dead.
The funeral seemed to drag on forever. Nobody spoke. It was quiet, and dreary. All of Blair's friends had come, along with the boys. Zoe came too. My parents were crying, hugging each other.
I walked towards Blair's grave. I placed the lily that I had been holding down by the tomb-stone. "I'm so sorry." I looked up, and saw Kai. He looked down at me. More tears flowed out of my eyes. Kai knelt down on the ground too. I felt strong arms wrap around me. I looked at Kai, who was hugging me. On different circumstances, I would've been happy. Not then, though. I was filled with too much grief. Cole walked over. "I'm sorry. I know it must hurt." I know that he meant well, but it did not help. I cried some more.
"Well you only need the light when it's burning low." Kai began.
"Only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
Only know you love her when you let her go
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go"
I looked at Kai. "You do know that that song is a breakup song, right?" I asked through tears. Kai smiled. "There's that smile."
I warned ya that someone would die. Did you listen? Probably not. Who you wanna guess killed Blair? I'll give ya'll a hint. Her name rhymes with Hamantha. Or, prom, depending if you're going with Crystal's name for her. That song was 'Let Her Go' by Passenger. Until later. Peace out!
