Chapter One:

Where am I? Why am I awake? Who saved me? How did I survive? What is everyone doing? When will I see Ling again since I'm alive? I looked around me after letting my mind wonder through the five w and one h questions that formed in my mind and realized that this room was plain and lots of people seemed to be busy. I realized that I was in the hospital after I saw people dressed in germ-free attire and with special equipments I know I am somehow being worked on and by the feel of my body it seems like I am saved.

I was surprised once again when Father came into the bedroom without Ling and had a worried look on his face. He greeted the doctors and asked some questions I did not catch but I did hear the doc say that if I wake up I am out of danger so I knew I was safe but I wondered how long has it been since my birthday, the day I jumped from the school's rooftop. I watched as father came over to me and sat down; he looked so upset then he started to speak as if reporting something to me. Before he finished however his eyes widened realizing one thing he was certainly shocked.

(0) Speeding out of the zero degree space

Finally everything breaks apart

Even though that road is tiresome

I will not regret it

Put away all the defense

Nothing matters

Escaping from the darkness

Start a new tomorrow new tomorrow

New world (0)

In the hospital a man silently waited anxiously for the doctor to come out of the examination room awaiting the news of his youngest son who had attempted to kill himself jumping off the rooftop of school almost a full year ago now. It was said that the boy had cracked his skull and had nearly succeeded his intention however due to the advance technologies and speediness of the ambulances and a great amount of money to buy the best medicines for the young boy his attempt to suicide has failed; at least for now. The Doctors has been working on restoring his health to nearly no end since about ten months ago when he was brought in. He had survived operation and although he's alive he was in coma and hadn't awoken still in grave danger. The doctor however made a new discovery and is currently testing it on the young boy.

Many hours went by and the boy showed no sign of life the father was invited into the recovery room once the operation was over and was told that they had done everything they can so it will really depend on fate if the boy will live or not also once or if the boy wakes up he will be out of danger however he may never be the same. He has seriously damaged his skull therefore he might have damaged his brain to a point that it won't function properly or he may become paralyzed for some time or lose a feature like becoming blind, deaf or mute or even all of the above stated problems; he might also be very weak physically but they will have to check after he wakes up to be certain.

Days went by after the operation however the boy never woke up more and more worried his father grew as he remembered the time he asked the doctor what percentage was it a chance that his younger son will wake up the third day after the final operation and the answer was there was only a twenty to twenty-five percentage chance. It was great torture for him to see his sons suffering, what Ling is going through knowing that he lost his twin after the adjustments of being in the mental health care is also a dilemma for Mr. Chen but he has to keep calm and strong for Sheng needed him. Ling has caused much trouble still occasionally getting into fights and other kinds of trouble refusing to return home was also a great hindrance.

One day Mr. Chen was reviewing the information the doctor gave him about his son's condition within the recovery room with the doctor as the doctor reminded him that if his son wakes up he should be safe but they weren't 100 sure and all the other possibilities. Once he was alone again he came closer to his son sadly starting to speak to the young boy asking questions about why would he do what he did and things like if he weren't a good enough father and better punishments until he noticed a movement on the bed. Sheng has awoken and had or had not heard his rambling; at that moment he felt very excited, anxious, delighted and worried all at the same time. Worry came from what Sheng would say once he finds out that Ling refused to return home and has no idea that Sheng was alive and there isn't a way to contact Ling.

Sheng opened his eyes blinked a few times and closed them again. He had heard the doctors reviewing his condition to his father about him having the possibility of losing his sight, hearing, voice or everything; he was frightened by what they said and he wanted Ling to be there to comfort him as much as he wanted his father's love. He was shaking and crying trying to shake off the feeling but to no avail; that was when a reassuring smile caught his eyesight but that was it no more vision as his eyes drooped shut. Sheng tried to speak but his body was too tired to move even one muscle; he then heard his father's stern but relieved voice.

"Sheng, do not push yourself, go to sleep and rest as much as you can."

Sheng wanted to ask his father where Ling was so badly however he couldn't even open his mouth; he had not any strength so he did as he was told and went back to sleep. Mr. Chen called in the doctor notifying him that Sheng has awoken asking him to examine his son to determine if any of the ailments afflicted his little boy. If only there was a way to contact Ling or if Ling would listen and believe what he says Mr. Chen thought as he left the recovery room for the doctors to make a proper examination on Sheng.

With more energy Sheng kept his eyes opened and tried to speak once again. This time it worked he asked about Ling as soon as Mr. Chen walked through the door to the recovery room which once again surprised him. Not knowing what to say to his son Mr. Chen shook his head and asked Sheng if he was alright because Sheng was shaking so much before he thought something was wrong.

"Father where is Ling? Why didn't he come with you?" Sheng whispered

"Sheng, Are you feeling okay? Why were you shaking so much before?" Mr. Chen asked after a moment of thought trying to avoid the question that was just thrown at him however Sheng did not respond instead he closed his eyes as tears rolled down his face.

"I know you miss Ling, I do too but you have to understand, Ling ran away and I do not know how to get through to him." Mr. Chen tried to explain.

"But why? Why would he run away? Did he mention something about racing again?" Sheng wondered as the door opened and the doctor came back in ushering Mr. Chen out of the room.

Sheng started to shake again as a nurse came near him and told him to not panic there are still days to wait before the test result and told him it was time to change the inserted medicine for him to recover faster. The doctor asked Sheng some questions about how he felt and another round of check up was in store for the young boy. Sheng was crying again this time it wasn't fear, it was because it will be a while more before he'd see Ling again and he already miss him a lot. To the doctor it seemed like Sheng was a kid who was due for his first check up so he tried to comfort him while inserting shots and connecting necessary equipments to machines to monitor him for better results of any ailments.
