Chapter 19: Kayleigh Betts

I woke to beeping. Beeping of a monitor, like you get in the hospital. I groan slightly as the beeping seemed much louder. It made my head pound; it was like my head was going to explode. I groaned again and tried to roll over but I couldn't it was like I wasn't in control of my body. "Shit," I whispered, lifted my hand and rubbed my eyes.

I was surprised my arm could move. I then decided it was time to open my eyes. I slowly began to open them but when light seeped through I snapped them shut. I shook my head softly and brought both of my hands up to my eyes and forced them open and keep them there.

I stared around the hospital room and I let my eyes adjust to the light. It was your average hospital room and in front of me sat a girl in a bed, probably my age? I don't know but she stared at me. Something covered her mouth, it was a mask of sorts, it was clear then went steamy and it showed she was breathing in and out. But why did she have it on. She removed it from her mouth and spoke.

"Let me help you," she whispered and walked over to me. She helped me sit up and gave me a cup of water. I stared confused at her. "Drink," she said. I nodded and she handed me to cup. I took a few sips before I handed it back and looked at her.

"Who are you?" I asked. She smiled and sat in the chair next to me, "Your room mate, Kayleigh Betts , and your Mai Takigawa," I nodded and then frowned, "You must be famous otherwise I would have a private room, not trying to sound stuck up?" she snorted. "Don't worry, you don't, but to answer your question, Yes I am, and at this hospital they don't care. Nice huh," I giggled. "So, what's your job?" I asked. She smiled, "A singer like you, but over here in England." That's when I noticed, she was speaking fluent Japanese. "But you speak Japanese?" I asked.

Kayleigh giggled, "I sure do, I learnt as a child seeing one of my great grandparents was Japanese." I stared in shock. "Anyway, you probably have lots of questions, do you remember what happened?" she asked me. I nodded as the face reappeared and she handed me a sick bowl as I was sick. "I guess you do," she said as I handed it back to her and she put it in the bin. I nodded, "Well, to explain what happened I would have to tell you my life story." She giggled and jumped, "Well, I do love a good story," I laughed at her and began to tell her.

"…and so I fainted and now I remember everything and that," Kayleigh had tears in her eyes, "Your life is amazing and full of adventure and that, oh and the Naru incident, don't worry, ill help. If I get my agent to talk to yours, say, do you want to do a couple of songs together?" she asked. "Yeah," I half shouted and we broke out into laughter. Then that's where the others came to see me, Me and Kayleigh where writing songs and were singing with her guitar. "Guys," I half shouted and they all came to hug me. "Mai, you gave us a fright, how are you?" Ayako asked. "I'm fine, Ayako, meet Kayleigh, she is a much known singer and asked me to do songs with her."

Ayako smiled and began talking to Kayleigh with Hana while the others hugged me. Naru sat on the chair next to me and stared at me. "Do you remember what happened Mai?" he asked. I looked at Kayleigh and nodded. I looked back at him and nodded and I reached for a sick bowl. "Well, while I was talking to Mr. Samuels and his assistant I began to feel faint, like I was losing control of my body and it wasn't nice. Then I began to hear a high pitch screaming in my ear and it seemed endless and that's when I lost control of my whole body and feel to the floor, I remember something seeping through my fingers and a charm being taken of and a new one on, after that the screaming stopped and when I opened my eyes a face was there." I paused as I felt nausea. Ayako reached forward and I put my hand up, "No I'm okay, the face was….vile, to put it, was I sick multiple times?" I asked and Monk nodded, "Well after that it whispered something to me, I can't remember what it, or he said but her called me someone else. I think I have heard the name before." I paused to think back.

"What did he call you Mai?," Naru asked and I looked at him, "He called me Elisha, but I don't know why!" Naru sighed. "Good Mai," I smiled as the door opened and a doctor came in, "Mai Takigawa," I smiled at him, "Yep, that's me," the doctor smiled, "Your scans came back okay, you are free to go when you want just get someone to fill in a form down stairs, and Kayleigh, what have we told you, you need to stay in bed,." I watched Kayleigh roll her eyes and walk back over to her bed, and that's when I thought, 'Why was Kayleigh in here?'. I stared at her as the others began talking to me about what they had found out about the case and about me singing tonight.

Once Ayako had filled out the forms and signed them I was on my way out. The other waited outside the room which was now only Kayleigh's. I sat on the edge of her bed. "I guess this is goodbye," she whispered. I laughed lowly and she stared at me, I looked at her and her eyes were filled with tears. I smiled, "It is definitely not goodbye, remember we are going to record songs." Kayleigh smiled but it was faint. "What's up?" I asked her.

She looked up at me, "That's if they will let me out," I then remembered thinking about why she was here, "Kayleigh, why are you in hospital?" I asked and she stiffened, I rested my hand on her leg, "It's okay," Kayleigh shook her head. "I.." she started, "I have…CLD, or BPD, it's called Chronic Lung Disorder. I was premature as a child and I had trouble breathing and such, the diagnosed me with it when I needed extra help breathing when I was 28 days old."

She stared at me as she breathed in and out restlessly. "I get very tired easily and when my concert ended last week, I became ill. My chest began to hurt, I needed to come in and get oxygen, usually I have my inhaler but it seemed not to work and I became weak and I fainted. Next thing I know is I'm in hospital and told to rest while they keep my on the oxygen."

"So that was what the mask was," I said suddenly and covered my mouth. Kayleigh laughed and nodded, "Yeah, here," she lifted it up and I saw it. "However," Kayleigh spoke, "I should be okay next week, it's just a severe case of asthma and it's quite curable, in a sense,." I nodded and she smiled. "I will get my agent to call you Mai, you really are lovely."

I blushed and smiled as I felt tears prickle the back of my mind. "You too Kayleigh, you," I paused for a moment. "Hey, when are you out, next week, like what day?" I asked. Kayleigh was silent, "Wednesday,"

I grinned, "Thursday night, I am singing for a massive group of people, I would love it for you to join me, please." Kayleigh smiled, "Really, I will get Hana to speak with…" I trailed off, "James," she supplied. I laughed at how weird it sounded it Japanese. "Okay," I smiled as there was a knock on the door. Naru looked in, "Mai, we are leaving." I nodded and looked at Kayleigh.

She had the oxygen mask back on. "I see you soon," I whispered and hugged her before leaving. She gave me a watery smile as I left. But I wasn't going to say goodbye just yet, so for now it was just, see you later.

What do you think?

Yes I researched Chronic Lung Disorder, but my sister has it but she isn't as bad.
