Kao's Pov

Ugh...my body feels like it's  been hit with a ten wheel truck! It hurt everywhere...

I want to open my eyes but I can't. Why are they so heavy? Where am I? Why am I feeling like this?

"Kao-kao....!"

Who is that? That sound like P'Beam!
Why is P'Beam here?

"Come on Kao-kao! Open those eyes bud, you can do it..." I hear P'Beam coaxing me.

With so much effort I groan when I was able to finally open them up. P'Beam's face is right in front of mine. But somehow, my head was throbbing cause the light is so blinding.

"P... turn off the lights! My head hurt!" I whine. I know I'm acting up but it really did hurt. Squinting my eyes while looking up at my brother.

"It's  okay Kao, your eyes are just adjusting after a long time of them not seeing anything. You've  been asleep for a long time bud." My brother's gentle voice explained to me.

"How long?"

"Um... Kao, you were put on a coma for two weeks-"

"COMA?! TWO WEEKS?!" My squinting painful  eyes got wide I feel like the covered half my face. My body got into alert mode and my mind automatically ask what the hell happened. I stared at my brother's  face. Tried, puffy eyes, translucent white skin, which we both inherit from  our dad. But somehow he was paler than I remember.

"What happened P?... Why are you crying?... What happened  to me?" I ask, feeling disoriented and my mind are all jumbled up. I keep looking at P'Beams face. Somehow, I got a sinking feeling that if I'll  look somewhere else, I'm  gonna be devastated.

My brother gaped at me and then his eyes watered some more. Gulping up, and coughing slightly,  his eyes looked everywhere else but refused to look at mine.

"P...what happened?! Why are you here? You are supposed to be in Bangkok!... Does dad-"

He choked when I mentioned our dad. His shoulders shook and a loud sob came out. Why is he acting up like this? What the hell happened-...

I gasped. Looking at my brother's defeated form, I began to remember. 

Mom... Gift... dad shouting... the impact...Me got thrown outside our car...

NO... no... no

"No!" I crooked.  My hand trembled. P'Beams hold on my hand got tighter as his sobs got louder.
"P!..." I cried hysterically "P, where are they?! P, where are my mom and dad?! Where is Gift?...P, answer me!..." but nothing came out of my brother but sobs and wails. I got desperate.  I shook my hand off of his and shook his shoulders "P!!!"

I shout. But the only response I get were mumbled apologies. My head starts to get heavy while I became numb. I know that I am crying but my mind doesn't want to accept what my subconscious is trying to say. My breathing peaked up. Not knowing what happened to my family exactly  but my brother's reaction somehow cemented the fear that I felt.

"Ahhhhhhhggghhh!" The pain, the fear, the devastation was eating me up! I unconsciously started to pound my brother's back. "Arrrgghh!!"
"P'Beam!!! Please tell me they are okay?! P, don't  do this to me!" I pleaded while kept on hitting my brother. He grasps my pounding fist and hugged me tight.

"I'm  sorry Kao-kao! The medics said they can't  save them. The car got blown up. And they are only able to save you cause somehow, you got out, thrown out a few yards away." He said.

"Ngggghh.." I kept my face against my brother's neck and cried. I cried for my mom, my baby sister, and our dad. I kept on hitting P, as if his pain will help to ease the unbearable pain I feel inside. "P!!!...P!!!"

"I'm  sorry Kao, I'm  so sorry... sorry..."

The emotions I feel was to much, my body didn't  take it. I slumped against him and gasp like there was no tomorrow.

I feel my brothers hand on my head. Cradling me against him. My brother's  hand held me while crying together with me.

We cried, we cried for both our loss. Our dad...

And my dead family.

Tbc...
