"Wake up Kayla, wake up Kayla, wake up Kayla" Zac chanted from his seat in Kayla's room. The three boys and Jaymi were visiting Kayla and all four of them were silently wishing for Kayla to wake up, well, three of them were. Zac was talking out loud. C.J was now in New York with Mrs. Appleton and Brian. Jaymi looked over at Zac and smiled at him. He grinned back.
"That's what we all want Zac" Jaymi said quietly. Jaymi was having a depressed day. It was one of those days where she just wanted to lie down next to Kayla and cry. Her and Isaac weren't really speaking because of their problems with the baby and she was depressed about that as well as Kayla being in her coma. Jaymi glanced at Isaac but his eyes were on Kayla. Jaymi then looked down at her shoes.
"Ike... I'm thirsty" Zac announced.
"Come on then" Isaac sighed, walking towards the door. Taylor smiled at Jaymi.
"You want anything?" He asked her. Jaymi shook her head no and then Taylor followed his brothers. Once the boy's had left, Jaymi looked at Kayla and bit her lip to keep from crying.
"Well Kay, I've really done it now" She said. "Isaac and I aren't talking at the moment... he doesn't want me to keep the baby... he wants me to have it and then put it up for adoption... but I want to keep it and raise it as my own child... god, if only you were awake, then you could tell me what to do. Please don't die on me Kay... I need you... I can't get through this alone" Jaymi said before she burst into tears. She rested her head on the side of Kayla's bed. "Why can't you just wake up?" Jaymi asked, raising her head to stare at her peaceful sister. "Just wake up will you?" She cried, trying to be angry instead of sad. It didn't work. She put her head back down on Kayla's bed and cried. Suddenly she felt a hand stroking her hair. She looked up and straight into Kayla's gray blue eye's. Kayla's face was filled with worry.
"Why are you crying?" Kayla asked weakly, her voice coming out in a whisper. Jaymi stared in shock for a moment and then flung her arm's around her sister.
"KAYLA!" She squealed as she hugged Kayla tighter. Kayla laughed weakly as she tried to keep her arms around Jaymi. But her arm's were to weak so she dropped them to her sides. Jaymi sat back and stared at Kayla with a grin from ear to ear on her face. She also had tears running down her cheeks.
"What?" Kayla asked. Jaymi shook her head as she laughed and wiped her tears away. "Nothing... oh my god I just can't believe you're awake!!!" Jaymi cried as she hugged Kayla again. "Do you remember what happened to you?" Jaymi asked. Kayla frowned and nodded.
"Yeah... hey... where is Tay?" Kayla asked.
"I'm right here" came a voice from the doorway. Jaymi turned and saw Taylor standing in the doorway with a can of soda in his hand. He crossed to Kayla's bed and wrapped his arm's around Kayla. Jaymi took the soda can from him and set it on Kayla's bedside table.
---------------------------------------------
"IKE! ZAC! COME QUICK" Jaymi yelled, running towards Isaac and Zac. They were standing and talking to Kassie and Ari. Both turned to look at her and both had surprised looks on their faces.
"What's wrong?" Isaac asked as Jaymi ran up to him.
"Nothing.. nothing at all! Kayla's awake! she woke up!" Jaymi squealed and grabbed Isaac's arm. She didn't even notice when Kassie and Ari followed Isaac, Zac and Jaymi back to Kayla's room. Once they got there, there were more tearful reunions. Soon Kayla noticed the two identical strangers.
"Jaymi... who are they?" Kayla asked Jaymi quietly. Jaymi looked up at Kassie and Ari.
"Oh Shit! you don't know them... Hey! Kass.. Ari... come here" Jaymi said to the twins. Kassie and Ari hesitated but moved forward.
"Guys... this is Kayla.. my twin... Kay, these are Kassie and Ari..." Jaymi said. Kayla smiled.
"Hi... when did you meet Jaymi?" She asked.
"Well, I saw Jaymi looking at the new born babies and then I started to talk to her... then she told me that you were in the hospital... and well yeah..." Kassie said. Kayla smiled, content with Kassie's answer to her question. Mrs. Bennet then walked into the room, her head was down and she was searching through her purse.
"Hi Jaymi.. sorry I'm so late... how is she?" Mrs. Bennet asked, looking up at her daughter. "Oh my-" She started to say. She couldn't believe that she was staring at both her daughters, wide awake and smiling at her. Both of them. She dropped her purse and then rushed forward and took Kayla in her arms and then started to cry.
"Shhh Mom... it's ok... I'm ok... everything's gonna be ok now." Kayla said softly into her mothers ear, tears rolling down her cheeks.
----------------------------------------------------
Three day's later Kayla was home and the three girls were sitting in Kayla's room. C.J had returned from New York and was thrilled to find that Kayla had woken from her coma. C.J, Mrs. Appleton, Brian, and Brad were now living in their new house. Kayla had been devastated when she found out that her hair had been cut off because of her head wound.
"Kayla... it's really not that bad..." Jaymi tried to convince her sister that her hair wasn't really that noticeable. Kayla glared at her sister.
"Shut up!" She snapped. "I'm hideous! Taylor isn't ever gonna see me till it grows back!" She exclaimed. Jaymi rolled her eyes.
"He has already seen you! and he doesn't care! he thinks your beautiful the way you are!"
"Easy for you to say!" Kayla said, as she rolled her wheelchair over to her dresser to look in the mirror. She still had casts on her legs, which were going to be there for another two weeks. "I'm an ugly invalid" Kayla announced. Jaymi snorted.
"Yeah right... you tell yourself that Kay"
"Kayla... you look fine! People are going to see that you were in some sort of accident" C.J said. Kayla sighed and wheeled back over to Jaymi and C.J.
"It still sucks... I mean, they haven't even caught the guy who hit me!" Kayla said. Just then there was a knock on Kayla's door. "It's open" Kayla called out. The door opened and there stood Justin.
"Justin! HI!" Jaymi cried when she saw him. Justin smiled.
"Hey... my dad's downstairs talking to your Mom" He said. Jaymi grinned at him. Justin turned to Kayla.
"You look so different with your eye's open" He said. Kayla sat there and stared at him.
"Who are you?" She finally asked. C.J had been wondering the same thing. Justin then explained who he was and he explained about how he went to visit her while she was in her coma. Then, both Jaymi and Justin explained about how they wanted to get their parents together. When they had finished Kayla shook her head.
"Nope... won't work..." She said.
"Why the hell not?" Jaymi demanded.
"Mom's not gonna get married to some guy she doesn't even know!"
"Duh... we know that! that's why they are gonna get to know each other first!"
"You really think your Mom is gonna go for Justin's dad?" C.J asked. Jaymi nodded.
"Yeah! why wouldn't she?" Jaymi asked. C.J just shrugged.
"JUSTIN! LET'S GO BUDDY!" Mr. Collins yelled out. Justin sighed and reluctantly got up from his seat.
"Well Kayla, it was great to actually talk to you without the conversation being one sided... Jaymi C.J... see ya around... I'll try to get my dad to ask your Mom out sometime ok?" Justin asked.
"Sounds great" Jaymi said. Kayla and C.J both said good-bye and then Justin left.
-----------------------------------------------------
"MOM!" Taylor yelled out. He got no response so he tried again. "HEY MOM!". Still no response. He was just about to yell out when Mr. Hanson came walking into the front hall. "Dad... where's Mom?" Taylor asked.
"She went over to Julia's about 15 minutes ago." Mr. Hanson said. Taylor groaned and slumped down on the bottom stair. "What's the problem?"
"Nothin" Taylor mumbled. "I was gonna go with Mom to go see Kayla but she left without me"
"Well, why don't you just blade there? It's not that far" Mr. Hanson said. Taylor just shrugged. Mr. Hanson shrugged his shoulders and then walked out of the front hall.
Taylor sighed. Kayla hadn't wanted him to see her for the past week and he was getting sick of it. He didn't care that her hair was cut off. It was just hair. It would grow back. Females he thought. "I just don't get them!" he mumbled to himself.
"What don't you get?" Isaac asked, coming from behind him down the stairs.
"Girls" Taylor said, sitting up. "Hey... you wouldn't be on your way to Jaymi's would you?"
"Well, I was just gonna go rent a video but now that you mention Jaymi... she's a lot more fun... so... yeah, now I am" Isaac said. Taylor jumped up from the stair.
"Great" He said. "You can give me a ride".
