Chapter 3

I looked at Kai in shock. "W-What was that?" I stuttered, and felt myself blush. "Well, I kissed you!" Was the only answer from Kai. Before I could say anything else, Kai hugged me tightly and wouldn't let go of me. In time, I returned that hug too.
At 8 p.m. we went down to the kitchen together, where the others had already started eating. Everyone made a face like seven days of rain and looked at me pityingly. "Hey, now stop looking like that! Look out, I have exactly 8 months to live and I want to enjoy my life! So please help me and pretend there is nothing!"
Tyson didn't like the idea at all because he looked at me bitterly. "What would you do if one of us had to die soon and you knew it?" He replied, annoyed. Max put a hand on his shoulder and told him to calm down.
"Well, I would definitely respect his wishes and not behave like you do around him!"I replied gruffly.
Tyson said nothing more, but looked down at the floor, concerned. Max, trying as always to keep people in a good mood, cleverly changed the subject, and we no longer talked about me, but about the flowers in the garden that had died because of Tyson's forgetfulness. As always, Kai didn't take part in the conversation and was the first to leave the room. Kenny was more concerned with Dizzy than with us. Actually everything was the same as usual. Except that I was scared, very scared in fact.
When I got to my room, to my great amazement, Kai was sitting on the bed. He must have been waiting for me the whole time. I noticed that there were tears in his eyes. "Ray, I don't want to lose you," he suddenly began to speak.
Instead of saying something, I walked up to him and this time I was the one hugging him.
"That's life. Everyone has to die at some point," I soothed him gently.
"I know, Ray, I know," Kai seemed to really calm down slowly."Even if I die, I want you to go on with your life, because pain turns into sadness, and sadness turns into memory. I want you to have good memories of me, I want you to have good memories of our time together "For the fact that I was still quite afraid earlier, I now felt very relieved. Because I had friends, friends who would stand by me no matter what.
"I will keep you in good memory, Ray, I promise you!", Kai slowly recovered and wiped the tears from his eyes.
We soon went to sleep, but I couldn't even stay still. Kai lay next to me all night and he didn't seem to be sleeping particularly well either.

The next morning Tyson called Mr. Dickenson and I called the White Tigers. We told them on the phone because I didn't want them to come here.
I thought a lot more about what would happen to my things if I were no more.That was it, I had to write a will.
Desperate, I searched the yellow pages for a good notary and then called someone I'd never heard of before. I could come there at 3 p.m. the next day, the secretary told me. In the end I did that too, and we discussed everything in detail.
I bequeathed the property in Guiyang to the White Tigers, which I once inherited from my grandfather. I bequeath my bankbooks and accounts to the Bladebreakers. And especially Kai, to whom I bequeath Driger.
It took me two hours to get home. I put the will on my desk, where it would be sure to be found after my death.
I wasn't so scared of dying anymore, but I didn't want to die from the effects of a brain tumor. I would rather have died in another tragic way. But in the end it didn't matter, I had to bite the grass either way.
Tyson, Max, and Kenny were at Hilary's that day, and Kai, well, Kai was always somewhere else anyway.Suddenly it started to rain. It had looked pretty dark earlier, but I wouldn't have thought that it would start to rain so quickly.
In addition, it began to flash and thunder. The thunderstorm was right above us.
Suddenly the phone rang. I firmly believed it was either Tyson or Max, and since I was right on the phone, I picked up the phone. Then everything happened pretty quickly. A lightning strike shot through the phone line and 10,000 volts ran through my body. Since I was standing on the ground, the current could flow freely and after less than a second I fell dead to the ground. Fortunately, I hadn't felt anything.

Kai was the first to come home. When he saw Ray lying on the floor, totally disheveled and burned, he paused in shock and stared at the corpse.
Only after a few minutes did he take a few steps towards the body. As if in a trance, he put one hand over his mouth and slowly reached out the other to Ray.He couldn't touch Ray, he didn't want to believe that it was Ray at all. Then he saw the phone on the floor and heard the thunder rumble outside. Panicked, he got up and quickly left the house. He ran to the nearest phone booth and called the police. After doing that, he ran back to Ray.
Only now did he realize, bit by bit, what had happened. Ray lay there, his eyes wide in the boxing position. It wasn't burned beyond recognition. Kai suddenly began to call Ray's name softly. Over time it got louder and louder and then even screamed. "Hey Kon, why are you doing this to me? Kon, Kon!"
The police were there quickly and a policeman brought Kai, who was already crying, away from Ray.
Kai was put in a police car because they wanted him to come to the presidium for identification. Kai let everything be done with him, he was completely powerless. He always saw Ray's image of how his disfigured body lay lifeless on the floor.// It said eight months, we didn't even have a week //, Kai kept thinking.

At the police headquarters Max, Tyson and Kenny were notified, and they came immediately. Hilary came too. When they found out what had happened there, they all began to cry bitterly. Tyson yelled around that it was unfair, Max sat down and cried and sobbed terribly, Hilary did the same as Max and Kenny looked down on the floor and he too couldn't suppress a few tears. All four clearly recognized Ray, and all four were shocked.
Kai was sitting alone in a corner and not a single tear ran down his cheek.
He just sat there and stared into space, and while he stared in front of him, he cursed God.
