Not So Cliche

i am titanium

*

and that my friends is when i hit my head hard on the ground ..

..everything was spinning ..

everything was in slow motion .. to give the moment a perfect movie effect.. the rain started..

no i did not get shot.. but ...

" mike!!!" yelled austin as he punched the heck out of the guard and ran towards us..

i got myself together and saw that..

mike pace had pushed me down because the cara had aimed the shot at me ...

he took the shot for me....

to save me ..

straight in the head.. i guess.. hey! i was the one who was laying on the ground and everything was spinning.. sorry too busy to check where he got shot..

but i managed to wrap my arms around him as he was on his knees now..

everything happened so fast.. i couldnt make out anything..

boom!! boom!!

boom!

after these three booms my vision went black..the last thing i could hear was everybody going silent and only my friends and brothers yelling my name ..

the rain pouring on me and i fell unconsicious.. i let the black surround me..

****

white...

when i opened my eyes and i found myself staring at the celing ..which was white..

i tried to get up and see around ..

i was definitely in some hospital ..

" muffin!!your awake!! " i heard someone say in joy .. a little loud..

of course it was austin ..

"what happened?"i asked and tried to get up but fell back on the bed .. a severe pain pinned my stomach..

" easy there..." he helped me up .. " here drink this ." he said as he handed me a glass of water ..i drank it gently

" what happened austin .." i repeated my question

" well we wee at the aca-" i cut him off

" i remember that.. what happened to me? how? what?"

he cut me off ..i think we had the tendency to cut each other off everytime we talk

" you were shot..twice.. " he said calmly and then stroked my forehead and then said

" mike.. well he took the first shot by pushing you to the ground ...and now he is-"

i began to shake my head vigorously saying no no no no...

he hugged me ..and i cried into his chest..

"please dont tell me .." i wispered.

" no muffin... he's in coma.. and it is really difficult to bring him out of it.." he said stroking my back ..

" and cara ..well the third shot.. if you heard.. well it was her shooting herself .. in the head ...she's - she's no more.." he said looking at the ground..

even though she had shot me and was the reason that mike is in coma.. tears started to roll down my cheeks and i started to cry..

" hey hey! why are you crying?" he asked

" she wanted to take revenge on something.. and that's why she wanted me dead.. i guess it was a silly reason of becoming the cheerleader..but somehow.. i fell responsible for her sucide.." i said as i cried more ..

he took me in his arms again and said it okay.. " it is not your fault.. you technicaly gave up the title anyways..."

just then my mother entered ..

she looked like she hadn't slept for days,,." honey!!" she said and we had our little secssion of hugging and kissing ...

she shouted and then cooed and now .." how long was i on this bed?" i asked

" 4 days .." said austin from across the room ..

''what!!???? what about the-" austin cut me off again

" battle of the champions? yeah .. they moved it to next to next week..dont worry about it.. "he said

"that's a relief .."

***

after 2 days when i could walk .. and do all the movements properly .i forced the doc to let me go.. i really wanted to visit mike..

the next day i alone entered his room ..

he was on the bed .. eyes closed and a hell lot of tubes connected to him ..

i wanted to know what happened to david and it turns out that after cara killed herself.. wade and arlette and ken came in along with the cops and they had arrested david ..

i sat next to mike and just stared at him ..

" mike.. if you can hear me .. i just want to say a few things.. i dont know why you being such a showoff took the bulette for me? you were already beaten up and i really have no idea how you managed to do it.. you did it everytime.. even when we played doge ball.. you never let me get hit... you will always remain my hero mike.. i love you and you know that.." i said and kissed his forehead and left..

i couldnt see mike in all that bruised state and in coma.. i just wanted to cry the hell out ...
