Chapter 6
Finding you.
Davis watched as the doctor cut his cast away, the Plaster casing falling to the floor on either side of his leg. The limb, freed after so long, was stiff and unresponsive. He flexed it, and it felt so light that he smiled. He stood up, and almost collapsed when he put his weight on it.
"Watch it! You've got some muscle wastage on that leg. You'll need to build it up before you can go running on it."
Davis nodded, and limped around the room for a minute, letting the blood flow back into his leg. He straightened up.
"Thanks doc. Maybe I can get back to my life now."
"Don't mention it. Just don't go diving into any Lakes okay?"
Davis smiled
"You got it."
He turned and walked out of the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------
Kari walked up to the Miyomoto's door once more, her pulse racing. She had heard Davis get home, and had waited for a while before going out the door again. She had to talk to him today. Before it was too late.
She knocked, and instead of June this time, Davis's smiling face appeared as the door opened, but the smile faded into sadness as he looked at her. He opened the door the rest of the way and she came inside. He sat down, and gestured to the chair opposite, still not saying a word. She sat, and he looked up.
"Why are you here Kari?"
She blanched. Startled by his question.
"Because we need to talk, and you know it. I have things I need to say."
"So say them. But be honest with me. Tell me how you really feel."
Her eyes fell.
"I don't know. I honestly don't. I can't think straight."
"Then why are you here? To tell me thank you? To give me sympathy, and make me even more confused than I already am?"
Kari looked up at him.
"Davis,"
"No, don't say anything. Because there are things I have to say to you too."
He closed his eyes, a tear leaking form one of them. But when he opened them, they were hard, piercing into her soul.
"I love you Kari."
Her mouth dropped. She closed it hurriedly, and got ready to speak again. But before she could, he stood up.
"but I know you don't feel the same about me. So I'm moving back into my own apartment. I think it..."
He stopped, his eyes closed, holding back the tears that threatened to flood out. He took in a deep breath.
"I don't think we should be near each other at the moment. I can't cope with these feelings right now."
He turned and went into his room. Coming back out, he saw that she was still sitting there, looking at him. He shook his head, picked up his sports bag containing his clothes, and walked out of the door.
Out of her life.
She looked up, and launched herself from the chair. She ran into the hall, just as the elevator doors were closing. Running towards them, she saw Davis look up at her, and shake his head. The tears were cascading down his face now.
She tripped, falling headlong down the hall, coming to stop just before the elevator doors, and they closed as the lift started to move. She got to her knees, and the last thing she saw was Davis's eyes boring into her own.
The tears started to fall down her cheeks. She placed her hand on the doors, feeling the cold metal against her hand.
He was gone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------
Kari walked around the town aimlessly, dazed, her head spinning. It had started raining again, washing away the snow, and leaving a thick grey slush on the pavements. She was supposed to meet TK at Liam's in an hour, and she worked her way across town to the bar. The big Irishman greeted her as she walked in.
"Well look who it is. How are ya feeling gal?"
She nodded, but he saw right through her.
"Come here. What's the matter?"
She explained. Liam shook his head, sympathy written on his face.
"Jesus, girl. Hadn't you even guessed he felt that way, because it was blatantly obvious to the rest of us. What about you, how do you feel?"
She shook her head.
"I honestly don't know. I have a great boyfriend, a great life, surrounded by friends. So why do I feel this way? Is it because he saved my life or maybe. Maybe I think that I could feel the same way back."
"Is that so. Well, that's very interesting to hear."
TK sat at the bar next to Kari; she looked up at him in shock.
"TK, It's not what you think."
"You know what Kari, I think it's precisely what I think. I think that you're getting sweet on Davis. I think that you would prefer him to me. Why the hell else would you have gone after him at his cabin?"
"It's nothing like that. I just needed to clear up some things with him. I needed to know why he jumped in to save me."
TK's face softened.
"Honest?"
She kissed him.
"God to."
He broke away. A frown creasing his face as he looked into her eyes.
"And how do you feel about him?"
She frowned her face taking on a thoughtful look.
"I'd like to think he's a friend. but."
"You're lying Kari. When you decide you want to tell me the truth, you know where I'll be."
He stormed out of the bar. Kari leapt off her stool and ran after him. She caught up with him outside the front of the bar. He stopped and looked at her angrily.
"TK." she paused. "I was lying. I don't know how I feel about Davis. But I don know one thing, I love you. I won't ever lie about that. Davis said he. that he didn't want to be around me. It upset me a bit. I'm sorry."
He smiled down at her.
"Don't worry about it. I blew my top too quickly. Anyway, It's Davis's loss, not mine."
He kissed her. She didn't break away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------
Davis looked around his apartment. It was late at night, and he had soccer practice tomorrow, but he couldn't sleep. He knew he needed too - he couldn't play comeback without some rest. But his thoughts kept turning to Kari; this wasn't turning out the way he had hoped.
There was a knock at the door. He opened it to find Liam standing there.
"Can I come in?"
Davis nodded, and stood aside to let him pass. Liam sat in one of the armchairs, and looked up at him.
"You've opened a hornet's nest Davis. Kari and TK had a big fight in the bar. Over you. She was in a right state. They were lucky that they patched it up quickly."
Davis slumped into the chair opposite his friend.
"That was what I was trying to avoid. I was going to move back here without telling her, but she came to seem me just as I was leaving. I'm trying to keep out of her life Liam."
"You told her you loved her, you daft Bugger. Didn't you think?"
"It just slipped out. Like I said, I wasn't even intending to talk to her. I was just going to leave."
Liam stood.
"You're a good lad Davis. Get some sleep. You've got a big day tomorrow."
"Liam?"
The big man turned back to him.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I did the right thing?"
"I honestly don't know."
