Chapter 15 - After effects

He ran forward and grabbed Jun by the hair and yanked him off Rei, he punched him as hard as he could in the face and left him in pain on the floor, looking over at Rei's confused and startled face made him start to break down. Tears flowing down his face, he ran out the apartment and slammed the door.

`Kai? What's going on? Where did Kai go?' Rei slurred as he struggled to piece together what just happened.

He tried to get up, but fell straight back down.

Everyone stared at their drunken friend with disappointed eyes, Tala's gaze shifted to the boy next to him, who was lying on the floor in pain, his emotions switched to anger,

`Ok, Tyson, Max, you help Rei, try and get him to bed, make sure he's on his stomach. Spencer can you show this bastard out please? I'll go find Kai.' he instructed.

Rei looked up when he heard Kai's name, `I want to go find Kai as well…' he managed to get out as Max and Tyson helped him up,

`No Rei, Tala will find him, come on, let's get you to bed, we'll sort it out in the morning.'

Rei struggled feebly against their hold, but failed, `I want Kai!' he said through tears, `Why won't you let me see him?' with no warning he passed out and fell to the floor, as Max and Tyson were not prepared for it.

`Shit, let's get him to his room…' Tyson said, feeling sober.

Tala sighed, this wasn't going to be good, `Ok, Spencer, could you take Jun and make sure he stays the hell away from Kai and Rei.' Spencer nodded and the boy up.

Tala left the apartment to go and look for Kai.

Kai ran down the corridor, and kept running, he didn't know where too, but he had to get out.

He ended up on the roof of the apartments, he stopped and looked up and stared at the stars above him, which stood out from the clear, black night sky, he couldn't hold it in anymore, he dropped to his knees and cried.

`I knew it! I knew this would happen…but how? Why? Why did he do this to me? What did I do…?' He thoughthe closed his eyes as he remembered words from his past.

`No one loves you Kai! No one ever will! So stop seeking something that you can't have!'

Came his grandfather's voice.

`Emotions are for the weak, you are one of the strong, I will not tolerate weakness Kai, do you hear me?' nine year old Kai looked up at Boris, with a sad expression that made the man laugh a cruel laugh, `Well put it this way, why care for anyone, when no one will care for you? You're nothing Kai, you always will be…'

A mass of tears flowed down his ivory face.

`They were right…they were always right…'

He got up and walked to the barriers around the edges of the roof, he looked down; it was a long way down.

`Maybe I should just jump…quick, painless end…I deserve that much don't I?'

He swung his leg over the barrier and climbed over, holding the barrier, with his feet only just on the ledge.

He took a deep breath and looked down, thoughts about how this was for the best running through his mind.

Tala ran down the corridors, `knowing Kai, he's gone up to the roof…he always goes outside when he's upset.' He thought.

He ran up the stairs and onto the roof, his heart nearly stopped when he saw Kai on the other side of the barriers.

`Shit!' He screamed in his head, he ran forward slightly, but stopped when he tried to think of a plan.

`Kai…' he said gently, the two-toned boy turned his head to reveal a tear-stained face, `Go away Tala.' He said through sobs, Tala inched forward slowly, one step at a time.

`Come on Kai, come back over the barriers…you don't want to do this, your just upset…'

`What would you know about it!' Kai snapped and dissolved into tears again.

`You're right, I don't know, but I do care, so why don't you come back over and we'll talk about it, yeah?'

Kai stared at his friend, `…he, he promised me he would never leave, he promised…' he choked out, `He said he loved me…' Tala walked forward slowly,

`Come on Kai, you can come stay with us, everything will be ok, just come back over…please?'

Kai stared into his ice-blue eyes, and saw genuine concern; he felt himself automatically climb back over the barriers, Tala moved forward and helped him.

When he was over, he collapsed into his friend's arms and cried.

`Shhh, its alright, come on, you're staying with us for a while.' Tala soothed, Kai nodded through his tears.

Tala helped him up and put his arm around his shoulder, and walked with him back to their apartment.

The remaining Bladebreakers sat around the kitchen table, feeling awful about what had happened.

`I can't believe Rei would do that, was he really that drunk?' Tyson asked.

Max sighed, `Well, he was drunk enough to pass out and throw up everywhere, the question is, will Kai take him back?' Max's eyes suddenly widened, `Oh god…'

Tyson looked concerned, `What?'

Max turned to him,

`Kai! What if he…I mean the only reason he hasn't…is because of Rei, and now…'

The others sat with a look of pure worry, what if he did? God this was such a mess.

Meanwhile, Jun walked down the streets, guilt pouring out of him, Spencer had kicked him out…literally, and repeatedly in the stomach.

He stopped and leant against a wall near an alleyway, he rubbed his eyes, `What have I done?' he asked himself guiltily.

`Look what I what lengths I went to just to save my own skin…what low will I sink to next?'

A shadow of a female figure appeared in front of him, he looked up, and saw Emily.

`I've done what you've asked of me, now do you're part of the deal and never contact me again!' he shouted angrily.

Emily clicked her tongue, `My my, haven't we got a temper, but anyway, nice work on the job, and to keep up my end of the bargain…' she fished out a pack of photos and a lighter, she then set the pack alight. `Now were even, and don't worry, we won't be meeting again…' she walked off into the night.

(A/N hahaha! Sorry, couldn't resist adding a crappy line like that…. shall I end it here? Nah…)

Kai followed Tala into the apartment, and was greeted by three sad, concerned faces.

`Kai…I don't know what to say…' Ian said.

Kai felt numb, `Don't say anything, just hand me that bottle for a minute please.' Kai indicated to the full bottle of vodka on the table, Ian obediently handed it to him.

As soon as it was handed to him, Kai unscrewed the cap and gulped as much as he could at once.

Tala tried to take the bottle off him, `Kai, that's not going to solve anything…' Kai grimaced at the taste of such strong alcohol, and moved the bottle out of his reach, `No, but at least it's a temporary pain killer.' Kai answered flatly.

Bryan tapped Tala on the shoulder and whispered to him,

`I didn't think Kai was meant to drink with medication…'

Tala's eyes widened, `Kai you can't drink with medication!' he said as he tried again to get the bottle off him again, Kai just laughed, `Since when have I listened to doctors?'

The others sighed, and watched as Kai left the room, they followed him into the living room, and saw him already sitting on the sofa, bottle in one hand, the other wiping fresh tears from his face.

They sat down around him, ready to listen.

Ian sat next to Kai and wrapped his arms around him, `If only my dear grandfather could see me now, bet he would have a field day…he'd love the opportunity to beat me shitless and tell me how worthless I am.'

`Well he's not here Kai, he never will be again, so don't talk like that.' Tala said gently,

Kai sighed and took another large swig from the bottle, Ian saw how much he'd drunk, he'd drunk over a third of it in less than 3 minutes.

`Kai, I think you should lay off the drink a bit…' he said worriedly.

`Can I use your bathroom?' Kai asked, ignoring Ian's comment.

`Uhhh sure, its just through there.' Tala said, indicating in the direction of the bathroom.

Kai got up and staggered to the bathroom, and locked the door.

He slid down the back of the door and drank a few swigs from the bottle, his vision was pretty blurry by now, and he tried to get up, and walked over to the sink. He looked in the mirror.

`Pathetic…'he murmured under his breath.

He took off both his fingerless gloves that ran up most of his arms and pulled out his pocketknife, he slowly cut a line into one of his wrists and let out a sigh of pain and relief.

He watched the blood run down his arm, and felt a sense of relief and harmony run through him, he felt an urge to create more, and made several more lacerations on each wrist, opening old wounds, and creating new ones.

He pulled out his anti depressants and tipped the bottle into his mouth, and managed to swallow them all, he washed them down with as much vodka as he could swallow.

After a few minutes, his vision blurred even more and felt lightheaded, he felt himself begin to fade away, his strength start to drain.

He used his last ounce of strength to lay himself on the floor in his usual sleeping position.

`This isn't so bad…I always hoped I'd die in my sleep…peacefully…sleep…Mom and Dad will be waiting for me…they won't leave me…'

He felt himself slip away, and started to hum a lullaby his mother sang to him as a child, he could hear her words as he hummed her blissful tune.

`Sleep my child…Sleep…' That sweet voice drew him into the darkness.
