Chapter 33
"You can go in and see her now, she's out of any real danger. But she is still in a sleep state because of all the meds, but we're predicting it won't last long..", the doctor informed the overjoyed two families. Kyle and Penny embraced each other and shouted jubilantly. Taylor wiped his eyes and sat there, feeling happier but none the less guilty. "Well, Penny and I are going in to see our daughter.. then I guess whoever wants to see her can go in afterwards.. I am so happy..",Kyle told the group and they all hugged one another. Kyle and Penny headed off into the direction of the room.
~~ Lia,Zac,Cloe, and Ike walked into Krissa's room. Lia burst out in tears as she grabbed Krissa's hand. "It's going to be ok Kris.. just think of the good times.. um.. Remember.. Mrs. Cleasing's homeroom? How you made fun of Josh all the time.. You, me and Jus.. well we had so many fun times.. think of those.",Lia said to her best friend. Cloe stood there and cried silently. Ike was on the verge of tears himself, he couldn't believe that just a yesterday Krissa was at the Birthday Party, now she's in the hospital. Zac kept on thinking of their song mmmbop.. 'In an mmm bop they're gone..', then he started to feel guilty about not feeling anything at all about this whole situation.
~~ "Tay..Tay..wake-up.. you can go into Krissa's room now..",Diana whispered into a slumbering Taylor's ear. "Hmm? What?", Taylor exclaimed as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. "You can go into Krissa's room Tay..",Diana told him and she sat down and rubbed his back with her palm. "Ok..",Taylor answered as he got up stretched and realized where he was going. Suddenly a wave of emotion swept by him. He stopped at the doorway and asked himself if he could take going inside, he didn't answer, he was halfway there, he couldn't stop. If not for his own sake, for Krissa's. He walked in and sat next to her. He just sat there and looked at her angelic face. Taylor took out the necklace from his pocket and put it around her neck, where it belonged. Then, he held her hand and spoke to her. "Krissa, I am really sorry. If I had known.. but I didn't. I didn't mean to, it's all my fault. Please if you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I really like you Krissa. You're different.. special. You seem so strong willed, I know you're going to end up ok. Please if you can hear me, end up ok. Fight it Krissa..fight it.",Taylor said soothingly. The tears from his eyes poured out on to the fabric of the sheets and Krissa's hand he was holding so tightly.
~~ Krissa slowly opened her eyes and heard the most comforting voice she had ever heard. As she awoke and moved her wet hand she looked straight into Taylor's clear blue eyes. They looked like the sky after a rainstorm, so clear and full of life. She smiled and he shouted, "Ohmigod..you're awake...you're awake...EVERYONE KRiSSA'S AWAKE!". "Um, may I ask, where am I?!",Krissa asked him, "And why do I feel icky, like my leg is broken.". "Well it is..broken.",Taylor answered with a wickedly 'cool' smile. "That may explain it!",Krissa exclaimed. The excitement in her voice sent a shock through Taylor's body, it felt so good to know she was ok. The rest of the family flooded into the room and Taylor was lost in the crowd. Krissa's eyes wandered from face to face that greeted her warmly but wished Taylor was there. After everyone greeted Krissa with warm embraces and flowers they left her to get some sleep. Krissa couldn't get to sleep, she just sat there thinking. She finally realized why all the little teenyboppers went crazy for Taylor, not because of his boyish good looks or his charisma, but because of the gentleness in his eyes. You could just lose yourself in them, his presence just made everything 'ok'. She wished he was there with her right now. ~~~Lia crept into Krissa's room and sat beside her. "So Krissa, how are you enjoying this YuMMY hospital food.",Lia asked. "I can express my emotions all in one word..blahhh..",Krissa shouted as the two giggled. "Yea, well you know the doctor said we can take you out tomorrow! You're going to be ok.. the brain transplant went nicely! They took out that baboons brain of your's and replaced it w/ a gerbils.",Lia said. "Wow, now we both can think on the same level!",Krissa replied with a smerk. "Well, it's good to hear you're all BETTER, now I am going to go now, because the doctors says 'You need you're sleep!'..ha ha",Lia told her as she got up from the bed and walked to the door. "Yea, whatever you're just nursing your wounded ego.",Krissa retorted. "Because you're in the hospital I will let that one slide..but I WILL BE BACK.",Lia said. "Yea, that's what Arnold said, but look at his career lately.",Krissa replied and waved 'Bye' to Lia.~~ No sooner did Krissa leave Zac entered. "So how's Tiny Tim?",Zac asked as he patted her cast. "OW! Eek! Well who does that make you, Rizzo?",Krissa responded. "Huh?",Zac exclaimed. "Ohmigod, you Hanson kids have seen Barney and Timmy the Tooth yet you have not seen the 'Muppet's Christmas Carol'? You really are deprived.", Krissa said as she slapped her forehead. Zac replied,"Yea, I am deprived of many things like, hmm, caffeine, sugar, caffeine, sugar.." "Ritalin?",suggested Krissa. "Well, if you are going to be a meanie I am leaving you to your jello, I HAD a chocolate bar in my pocket, but you know, I am sure I can eat it for you.",Zac told her as he took out the candy and waved it in front of her face. "Ohhh Zac, have I ever told you how much of an inspiration your music has been to me?",Krissa rambled on. "Yea, I know I am the King of Pop.",Zac complimented himself. "Yea, you do grab your crotch a lot.",Krissa laughed. "Ha ha, I didn't mean MICHAEL JACKSON! Well I am leaving, WITH my chocolate bar..suffer!",Zac shouted as he ran out and a woosh of wind heaved past Krissa's face. Then he came back in and threw the chocolate bar on the bed saying, "Because I am the man." Krissa smiled and peeled back the Chocolate wrapper like it was a bar of gold and nibbled on the edge.
