Chapter 5 Comatose State Pt 2

A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training; then he will face the fight calm and balanced.

"He has several broken ribs, his knees were crushed, his right arm had been severely damaged, both his legs seemed to have been impaled by a pipe. A fractured skull, dislocated shoul..."

"Please stop we don't need to hear anymore about his injuries" Mrs. Daniels said while crying in the arms of her husband.

Tyrese stands next to Dimitri staring at him seeing seeing all these machines hooked up to him just for him to even breathe. The sound of the heart monitor and the ventilator are the only sounds he had focused in on distracting him from the ongoing conversation between the docter and the Daniels family.

This had been the first time Tyrese had ever seen someone he cared about in such a state. Needing a machine to assist with basic human no living needs. Never in Tyrese's life had he felt so scared and weak, not knowing if his bestfriend could ever live the same again if he had ever come out of this coma. Tyrese knew that even if it's possible for Dimitri to wake up whether it be weeks or several years from now, Dimitri would forever be crippled. The injuries all along his body, not to mention the internal bleeding he had suffered as well all of this had broken down Tyrese, after all this had happened because of his encounter with the man at the bar.

Tyrese has a blank stare just looking at the ceiling. He hadn't left his room for several days, even when he was asked to come celebrate Dimitri's what would've been 17th birthday party at hospital with the rest of the family. No one had been hurt by Dimitri's hospitalization more than Tyrese. The only thing that motivated Tyrese to move was the nearing hunger he had to avoid, so he'd leave the apartment building once every 2 weeks and go to Khora asking for food.

Three months had passed and this was Tyrese's routine eversince. Tyrese gets the urge to go over by Khora for more food, but this time instead of feeding him she tells at him telling him he needs to get back to his old self and that he can't stay like this forever.

Tyrese replies saying "I can't, I don't even feel like living anymore honestly it's just been so hard while thinking of him"

Khora then ask "you say you don't feel like living anymore, then why are you even coming to me for something to eat all the time"

Tyrese replied "I only need it in order to not go rampant and kill the only other people I care about besides i'm like a second son to them I know they can't lose another person"

Khora then ask "Ok then if you want to live for them try and be happy. Just moping around and being sad all the time isn't going to make anyone better or bring back your friend. Listen Tyrese, please live and do something with your life"

As Tyrese was about to reply starting off his sentence with but he was quickly knocked to the ground by Khora and she placed her foot on his head.

Khora says to Tyrese "I can just end your suffering now if you really want. Just say the wrong words and I'll be cleaning up your brain for the next few hours"

Tyrese now feeling the fear of actually dying says "Yeah I'm feeling a bit better, so much better your words really helped me see I don't need to be unhappy"

Khora sighs and lifts her foot off of his head then helps him off the floor. She tells him to find something to focus on other than Dimitri.

Tyrese then ask Khora "Well um.... could you teach me how to fight? I've noticed how much muscle you have you're a bit buff but it's very noticeable when you are just in a bra." Meanwhile Khora talks to Fredrick about the situation of Dimitri. Fredrick says he saw what had happened but he didn't intervene as it had nothing to do with him.

Khora replied saying "fair enough but Tyrese is not doing so good because of this. I'd almost feel sad for him if it wasn't because of a human"

Fredrick says to Khora "Hey we were once human before meeting up with Gi"

Khora leans back in the chair looking up and replies "You were, that man had just found me as a stray"

6:34 am

Tyrese was getting hit again and again from Khora as she had been sparring with him, with her gaurd up jumping side to side taunting Tyrese to strike back. Tyrese kicked at her with his right leg towards her head, Khora dodged the kick and jumped towards Tyrese kneeing him in his stomach.

Tyrese grasping at his midsection looks at Khora as she says "You're still a bit too predictable and you need to add more punches into your fighting, you can't always win with a swift kick hoping it would knock your opponent to the ground that's like mashing one button in a game"

Tyrese says to Khora "The power I have is more focused around my legs"

Khora looking up and down at Tyrese ask him if he's ever tried kick boxing.

Tyrese confused ask her what that is.

Khora smiles a bit and says "You really lived a secluded life before now. I'm going to teach you some martial art techniques mostly kickboxing and taekwondo"

Slightly afraid of what Khora will teach him Tyrese takes a deep breath and sighs.
