Chapter 1 – The aftermath.
Screams were heard by the bystanders who watched the incident.
" Someone call the ambulance right now" a stranger said. Shocked expressions were shown across faces. A person grab their phone to call the ambulance .
" Hello, 911, What is the emergency"
"There was a car accident right in front of Twilight Town Junior High. Two boys were hit by a drunk driver. It was a hit and run." The person explained.
"Stay on the line, we're on our way." The emergency guy on the other side of the line said.
After about 10 minutes the ambulance and the police arrived at the scene. The paramedics took the heartbeats of both boys who lay on the street.
"I don't feel a heartbeat" a doctor said as he tried to look for Roxas's pulse.
"It appears he died by impact" another doctor explained.
They then recorded his time of death. It was approximately 3:24pm. They lifted Roxas's body onto a gurney and put it in ambulance. They then covered him with a white sheet.
Another set of paramedics was taking Sora's pulse." he is breathing but has a slow heartbeat and a big gash on the back of his head. We have to get him to the hospital in order to save him" A doctor explained to his crew.
They then put Sora on a gurney and into an ambulance. The officers at the scene interviewed everyone at the scene trying to get identification of the hit and run driver. The paramedics close the ambulance's doors and put their siren's on. A doctor put a mask on Sora to stabilize his breathing. Once they were at the hospital Sora was rushed into the emergency room. After many murmurs, countless hours in the operation room, calls to the victims parents, a doctor finally came out of the operation room. The Hikari's were in the waiting room. Mrs. Hikari was crying hysterically for the lost of her eldest son and the potential loss of her youngest son. Mr. Hikari rubbed his wife's back trying to comfort her while crying silently to himself.
"Mr and Mrs. Hikari" the doctor who came out of the emergency room Sora was in said. Mr and Mrs. Hikari stood up from their seats and walked towards the doctor tears still flowing from their eyes.
Mr. Hikari looked at the doctor's name tag. "Dr. Ansem, How is my son?".
The doctor looked at their worried faces and gave them a weak smile.
" You son is alive and we happen to sew back his gash before he had major blood loss but—" Dr Ansem tried to explain. I can't tell them this. It will only hurt them more. Dr. Ansem thought to himself.
"But what Dr. Ansem?." Mrs Hikari asked a strain in her voice.
But they have the right to know. Well here I go. Dr. Ansem thought.
"But..He is in a coma" Dr. Ansem explained.
After the news Mrs. Hikari cried louder. To find out that her eldest son died and that her youngest son was in coma was the worst news a mother could here. The only thing that would make it worse would to find out that it was caused by a hit and run drive, which they were not informed about yet. The police were still trying the gather information about he criminal before informing the parents.
"Can we see him?" Mr. Hikari asked hold his wife with one arm, who was crying hysterically again. Dr Ansem nodded and took them to Sora's room, whiched coincidently happen to be the same numbers of Roxas's time of death. Room 324. Once the Hikari's entered the room Mr. and Mrs. Hikari ran to each side of Sora taking his hands. Sora was surrounded by monitors, machines and had many wires hooked up to him. Mrs. Hikari looked at his pale almost lifeless son. She sat on a chair putting Sora's right hand to her face and silently cried.
" Oh Sora, Why was I stupid? I should of just picked you guys up from school. I shouldn't of made you guys walk home. Now Roxas is dead and you're in a coma. I'm so sorry Sora. It's all my fault" Mrs. Hikari said through her tears.
Mr. Hikari let go of Sora's hand and walked towards his wife to rub her back. He whispered soothing words in her ear to try and calm her down. " Hey sweetie, It is not your fault. It was all an accident."
Dr Ansem came back into the room to tell the Hikari's visiting hours were over and only parent should stay with him. Ms. Hikari volunteered herself to stay the night. She told her husband that they would switch off days. Mr. Hikari then called a cab to go home. He was to strained and tired to drive himself home. Once he arrived home he went straight to Roxas's room. He opened the door and saw how organized his room was. Mr. Hikari walked towards Roxas's bed and sat down.
" Oh Roxas, I miss you so much. I know you saved your brother but I just wished you survived. I love you son." He said crying to himself.
Mr. Hikari then walked out of Roxas's room and into his own. He tirelessly changed into his pajamas and fell into a restless sleep. At the hospital Ms. Hikari was given an extra blanket and pillow. She also slept restlessly on the arm chair in Sora's hospital room. At precisely 5am Mr. Hikari got a phone call from the police.
" Mr. Hikari sorry for the early wake up but we finally gathered all the information we could get of the hit and run driver than killed your son."
