Five minutes....just five minutes before I told her I love....before I saw her smile....before....

It started one ordinary day

We were practicing for a upcoming contest

Everyday, every note I knew we were getting closer

I wanted to tell her how much I loved her but I was deeply afraid

Her smile, her music..their wasn't anything I didn't love about her

"Great job Hino, your getting better everyday" I said

"Thanks...." she replied

After that I really don't remember it was all too fast

But I think she passed out

"Hino, Hino" I cried

Next thing I knew we were all at the hospital

I always hated them

White walls, white bedsheets, everything was white

Each day she was getting wrose

80% chance of surviving, 50, 30 and soon went down to 10%

All of us at the hospital were waiting each day hoping some miracle would happen, but deep inside each of us knew, there was a big chance she wouldn't survive

But I didn't want to believe it

The more I try to shake off the truth, the more I would realised she would soon die

We were all worried

I stay at the hospital 24/7

I wanted to be with her all the way through--no matter how long it took

Looking from the pure glass she seem so lifeless

She wale much paler than usual and had many tubes coming from her body

How much longer till I saw her warm smile?

I miss it every second

I wanted to tell her I love her but I couldn't

She was lifeless as stone right now

I wanted to cry

I wanted to scream

But I knew it would all be hopeless

I woke up serveral hours later

A nurse had woke me up

"She going to die in five minutes" she said

My eyes widened, as the truth has approched me

Hino was dying....

I couldn't belive and wouldn't belive it

But even though I rushed to her room

The six of us and Hino parents were all around the bed

Some of us were crying

Some weren't

One by one each of would go by Hino as she would say her last words

I was the last one

I could tell she was trying to smile...for me

It seems so warm like all my worries were getting difeted away

"Promise me you never quit music" she wispered

"I promise"

Here was my chance, my last chance, the chance to tell her how much I love her

"Hino"

"Yes"

"I love you"

There was a silence

"Hino?"

She smiled

"I love you....to........Hihara"

And like that she was gone
