Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, chapter 2
Once the plane landed, Dad, Mel and I got our bags and walked off into the lobby. As we entered to airport lobby, I got a lot of funny stares. It really didn't bug me, but they could at least not make it plain and clear that they were staring. Some of them weren't watching where they were going, so they ran into other people or walls. After I thought of it, I did look out of place wearing; black baggy shorts with chains that criss-crossed in the back, my Guns N' Roses Appitiete For Destruction tee, and my all black converses. My cast was all black also, ecept for a few spots where my few friends wrote on it in silver paint marker. My hair was slightly in my face.
My sister, on the other hand, was wearing a bright pink halter top, a bright pink mini-skirt, and pink high-heeled sandels.
My dad was wearing his normal clothes; black pants, red union shirt, and brown boots.
I stopped walking and pushed my glsses up my nose with my index finger. Geekish?
We found a sign that had our names on it. The person hoding it led us to a black limo. We sat in it and he took us to the hotel.
*two days later*
I was sitting at a table, reading 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and listening to my cd player while my dad and sister played in the pool. Well, it was more like Mel was flirting while Dad watched.
Anyway, Miss Murder by AFI just came on when the cell we were given rang.
"Ello?" I answerd.
"Is this Kali?" Ty asked.
"Yeah," I said, going back to my reading.
"Well, a surprise should be there right about... Now!" Ty said.
Just as he said this, a loud scream echo's around the pool.
"CANNON BALL!!!!!" someone screamed.
Just after that, a blue and peach streak comes from off of the roof. Followed close behind is two black and peach streaks and three huge splashes. Most of the water comes out of the pool.
A loud scream comes from my left. I look over and there is my sister, in a pink bikini, next to a cute boy, with an angry expresion, dripping wet.
"Who?!" she yelled. "Who got my hair wet?!"
I burst out laughing as she looks around the pool. The boy next to her does, too. Mel takes off her glasses, marches over to the three guys getting out of the pool and stands directly in front of them, arms crossed, clearly pissed.
"Are you three responsible for destroying my hair?" she asked rudely.
I ignore all of the commotion and get back to my reading. It is really hard because Mel is causing such a commotion. So, I decide to piss her off more and tell her to shut up.
"Mel! Shut up!" I yelled to her. Getting up and crutching over. "Just leave them alone! They were only having fun! And it is not like your hair is gone! It's just wet! Get. Over. It." I said.
Her response to me is by pushing me into the pool and yelling, "Stay out of it! You have no right to be butting in! After all you have done to this family, you're lucky you're still in it! After you killed Mom!"
I start to freak out as I fall. I don't know how to swim! Plus I have a broken leg! Fear rushes threw me as I relize that I am scared of any form of water bigger that a small puddle.
I wince as I hit the water. I felt my self slowly going down. I tried to get to the surface but I can't. I felt my lungs screaming for air that was not avalible. I despreatly try to swim up-ward. My eyes slowly start to close. The last thing I see is my glasses falling down as they have fallen off of my face.
Darkness.
***
I heard the continuous beeping from all of the hospital machines, the murmer of talk, the distant sound of cars, the ratteling of carts on the hall floor, and the evening news.
I could smell the sweet sent of flowers, the medical equipment, the seralization of everything, the soft smell of lilacs on a summer day, turkey and stuffing, and a smell I hadn't smelt since the day my mom died, white cherry blossom.
I could feel the roughness of the bed sheets rubbing against my skin, the soft pillow under my head, a warm and soft hand in mine, my leg proped up by some pully system and the light-weight hospital gowns.
*???'s POV*
I sat by Kali's bed holding her hand. I felt slightly guilty because we were the one's who caused all of this.
I still can't belive the girl in the pink suit got all mad because we got her hair wet by accident. If I would have known that she would blow-up and Kali almost die, then I wouldn't have jumped.
I looked up at the television. The evening news was on. Some report about West Nile was on. According to the reporter three people have died this week because of it.
"... Everybody is cautioed about this. It yo plan on going outside wear bug spray." she said holding up a bottle. "No matter where you are going wear it anyway because they could be anywhere."
'Stupid news ancor!' I thought. 'State the obvious!'
I looked away from the television and back at Kali. She looked so peaceful. I looked at her bed side table. There was a picture of a woman that looked a lot like Kali holding a baby.
'That must be her mom,' I thought. 'She looks a lot like her. The girl in the picture looks fimiliar, too. I remember seeing her somewhere.'
*Kali's POV*
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the stupid white celing. I turned my head to see one of my idols sitting by my bed in a brown chair. He was holding my hand. Which was soft and warm. He was looking at a picture on my bedside table, smiling. His eyes were shining.
He was wearing black jeans and a brown shirt. I smiled he looked exactly as I thought he would in real life.
*???'s POV*
I looked back at Kali and jumped because she was awake. Her eyes were the darkest brown I have ever seen. They were almost black. Wait, they were black.
"Hi," I said. "How are you feeling?"
"Okay, but the real question is why are you here, out of all people, and why are you holding my hand?" she asked.
I quickly let go.
"I never said it was a bad thing to be holding my hand." she said. I held it again.
"Ummm, I am here because Ty said that you really like the band and all of that so yeah I guess?" I said scratching my head, confused beyond my mind.
"Huh?" she said raising an eye brow.
"Huh?" I said now so confused I was getting a headake. "Okay, I am so confused right now my brain hurts."
She laughed and let go of my hand. She pulled the covers off, sat up, growned and flopped back down.
"Man, do you know haw to get out of this thing? I really have to go." she said.
"Uhhh, yeah. One sec." I got up and got her out of the sling she had on her foot. The nurse had told me how to do it just in case she woke up.
Kali got out of bed with some help and went over to the bathroom. She closed the door and did her thing. When she was done, she came back and sat down on the edge of her bed.
My sister, on the other hand, was wearing a bright pink halter top, a bright pink mini-skirt, and pink high-heeled sandels.
My dad was wearing his normal clothes; black pants, red union shirt, and brown boots.
