In a huge mansion not too far from the boy's dorm
"Kai let me visit please…"
"For the hundredth time NO! Stop calling my phone" kai had been dealing with this huge nuisance for the past week now. He wondered for how long he had to put up with this, it was only a matter of time before he broke.
"I won't stop calling until you accept my request" he wondered how a person could be so determined and that made his mind drift to the more matured version of this determined idiot.
"Fine. I'll think about it. What'd ya think about that?"
"Thanks so much kai. I'd be counting on you"
"No worries kiddo"
"I AM NOT A FRIGGING K- "he hung up immediately. He knew the reason for why Cece was being a constant pain in his ass. She had called some months ago saying that she was worried for her sister after she had a nightmare and when she called Ann something seemed rather unusual about her.
Not like he didn't know what happened as the news of Sarah had quickly spread throughout the whole campus but when he had approached Diane a few times, she wouldn't get angry or yell at him or try to ignore him with a cocky attitude as usual, instead she looked uninterested, worn out, sometimes she would shed a few tears unconsciously before running away from him.
It hurt him so much so he stopped coming to her and instead settled for watching over her in the shadows.
Ding Dong, Ding dong…
His doorbell rang throughout his home.
"Who could it be at this time of the night?" He mumbled to himself lowly, wondering if it was another of those pesky girls but how did they know his home address? The only person he'd ever brought to his home was her but she couldn't be the one, could she?
All these he thought while slowly making his way towards the door...
Meanwhile Diane had turned to go move away from the door and probably sit on the porch, since no one came to open the door it means no one was home and she was going to wait…
"Where do you think you are going too Diane?" She heard kai's voice call out to her in a soft whisper, she still hadn't braced herself to face him after purposefully avoiding for months now but above all things he was the one her heart called out for right now.
Before she could think twice and change her mind her legs had turned around on their own accord revealing her tear and snot covered face with eye bags bigger than her own eyeball already more painful, heavy and red due to crying for a long time now.
She yearned to be embraced and that was what she went for as she ran into the arms of the shocked man before her, pouring her heart out as she cried and wailed loudly enough to be heard by the neighbors, hugging him tightly as she was scared he would disappear at any moment. Her head ached like crazy and she wished for it to all stop before falling limp and letting the darkness overcome her.
Kai made his way to his room as he carried in his arms and unto the bed, he had many guest rooms but he rather she stayed in his. He laid her limp figure onto his bed and the covered her with the quilt as he made his way to the bathroom to get a towel and warm water to clean up her delicate face.
'what could have happened' he thought to himself as he cleaned the tears and snot from her face with the warm towel.
He'd never expected to see her on his entryway looking so vulnerable, at first he felt sad, then guilty but above all he was angry at whoever made her this way and they were going to feel is wrath sooner or later. The way she hugged him with so much sadness and vulnerability shocked him to the core, he was surprised that she came to him in her weakest moment after all he had done to hurt her feelings, she still found strength in and with him and in the deepest part of his heart there was hope. The hope of a future together with his Queen.
After cleaning her up and clearing the cleaning items away, he moved to caress her cheeks that were so fluffy and full before but now had a certain hollowness to it to show how thin she had become. Her dark skin that shown with life had now become dull, he moved to place a soft kiss on her forehead before moving to place a silent but lingering kiss on her plump lips.
'oh, how I miss this lip's he thought to himself but there was no time for that as he had to find out the reason for her being this. He inhaled deeply while running his fingers through his hair before letting out a huge sigh as he grabbed his car keys before heading out.
Meanwhile in Sarah's ward
"Do you think she's alright?" Sarah asked in barely a whisper as she was still recovering.
"She's fine, don't worry about it too much, you just woke up" Jake answered feeling very worried for the frail girl on the bed.
"Didn't you see the way she looked at me after barging in… I know that look anywhere"
She wasn't wrong though, they had all seen the expression on Diane's face and it was enough to make them worried.
"Don't think about it too much and worry yourself Sarah" Zeke chimed in this time "She's probably well at home and you just recovered so don't stress your brain" he was also worried about Diane.
When she heard the news about Sarah waking up from the coma, she immediately begged and pleaded to be let to go see her immediately. They originally didn't approve her seeing Sarah immediately due to her frame of mind so she wouldn't react rashly but Dom thought against it saying
"Maybe if she sees Sarah in a good mood and in good health, she'd also bounce up from her weary state." He paused before continuing as he observed their expressions "I mean… she holds Sarah dear to her heart, she wouldn't have the heart to act all depressed and guilty anymore if she sees her friend"
This made sense to the rest and they decided to take her with them to go see her friend. When they got to the door of Sarah's room she took in a deep breath before going in to see her friend lightly laughing at something Jake had said, the guys had moved ahead of her to check up on Jake while she stayed staring at Sarah with her teary eyes and her legs refusing to move forward as they were too heavy to lift but she managed to move them anyways slowly towards her friend while the others watched with heavy hearts.
Sarah looked at her friend slowly approaching with tears of her own in her eyes, according to what Jake had told her she had been out for three months so she wondered how her vibrant, full and beautiful friend turned out to look so lifeless, dull and skinny in just a span of three months.
Lost in thought she hadn't realized when Diane enveloped her in a warm hug sniffing heavily as if trying to will in her tears. Diane hugged Sarah but she was still careful remembering Sarah's delicate condition.
"Are you fine? Are you sure you're fine Sarah?" She asked while feeling up Sarah's face before finally cupping her cheeks softly to look into her eyes with a beaming smile
"Yes I am fine… Stop crying now, will you? It's a joyous occasion" Sarah let out a low chuckle before bursting into a loud cough from all the crying and sniffing.
The guys felt really emotional watching this scene play out before them and this led to Adonis stepping out for a bit but they didn't notice the change in Diane's emotions.
She slowly withdrew her hands from Sarah's face as she remembered the reason for Sarah's condition in the first place...
"What's wrong Diane?" Sarah asked noticing the change in Diane's attitude, from being happy to looking guilty and downcast.
"It's all my fault, I don't deserve to be here, it's all my fault…. I should've been a better a friend" she paused before looking into Sarah's eyes as tears fell down her sad and tired face, "I should've observed you better, payed more attention at least, it's all my fault" she mumbled lowly but loud enough for Sarah to hear her.
"No no no no it's not your fault, don't say that please" she immediately grabbed Diane's hands trying to persuade her but she could sense that it was no use as Diane immediately stood up to take slow steps backwards chanting how it's all her fault before running out.
The guys had been watching what was happening with disbelief in their eyes not knowing what just happened
"What happened to Diane, why did she run out!" Adonis asked worriedly coming into the room as he looked at the shocked faces around… He saw her dash out of the room and tried to call out for her but she didn't seem to notice his presence so he decided to follow her but he lost her at a turn and decided to head back for answers.
"D..di..Diane, she's gone"
