Hi! This is the first chapter, thanks for reviewing!
On with the story! ~
"Shit, shit, shit!" Butch whispered to himself as he paced up and down the hospital corridor, anxiously awaiting to hear if his one true love, his stone; Kaoru Matsubara was or wasn't going to be okay... "How long does this take?" He snapped, still pacing.
"Chill bro, I'm sure she'll be fine..." Brick (Butch's big brother) said cooly as he flicked through the morning's newspaper, the youngest brother of the trio Boomer sat next to him silently. Butch glared at him angrily, wanting to hit something.
"How can I chill when Kaoru's in there fighting for her freaking life?" Butch asked as calmly as he could, which wasn't very calm... Brick sighed and closed his newspaper, standing up to look at his brother.
"Look Butch, I know this must be hard for you, and I understand that, but I'm sure Kaoru wouldn't want you to get all worked up like this... If you believe she's gonna be okay, she will be. Sure, it was a two-storey drop but come on, this is Kaoru we're talking about, she's tough. She'll make it." Brick smiled, holding Butch's shoulders as he spoke.
"T-Thanks..." Butch muttered, calming down as he sat in a seat across from his brothers.
"See? Not just chill bro..." Brick said as he also sat back down, and picked up his newspaper once again, flicking back to the page he closed it on. Butch sighed, then looked at his younger brother Boomer, who just sat there in silence, staring at the opposite wall.
"Yo, Boomer?" Butch said, raising an eyebrow at his brother's strange behaviour. Boomer snapped out of his trance and turned to face Butch.
"Y-Yeah?" He said.
"What's up?" Butch asked.
"Huh?... Nothing! I-I'm fine..." Boomer replied, sitting up and grabbing a nearby magazine to look through. Butch shrugged dismissively, and stared at the doors where Kaoru was behind...
In the room where Kaoru lay, nurses and doctors rushed around, trying to save the girl from death.
"Abnormal activity in the head Doctor!" A nurse ran to the main Doctor in the procedure, handing him a piece of paper with a graph indicating that Kaoru was in trouble.
"Nurse! Bring in surgeons!" The Doctor yelled, and the nurse quickly ran out of the room to obey his orders. She ran past Butch and his brothers, which of course got them curious, and worried. Butch watched the nurse go round the corner, wondering what was happening to Kaoru in the next room. A few moments later, a group of surgeons with white masks and rubber gloves appeared from the same corner that the nurse earlier disappeared. Butch's eyes widened in worry as he watched the surgeons rush into the same room that Kaoru was in, and the nurse soon followed. Butch stopped her.
"What's going on?" Butch asked her, trying to keep his calm.
"Are you any relative of Ms. Kaoru Matsubara?" The nurse asked.
"No, I'm her boyfriend." Butch replied, losing his patience slightly.
"Oh, then please follow me..." The nurse said, walking into a small office right beside the room which Kaoru lay in.
"Right Mr..." The nurse began.
"Butch. Butch Jojo." Butch finished her sentence.
"Well, Mr. Jojo, Ms. Matsubara is in a bad state... We just received some scan results that we earlier took from her head and they are not normal. She has had a very bad accident, and we are hoping to help her recover to full health, but if we can't, which the scans have suggested quite surely, then she may have some major mental health problems in the future. I am sorry." The nurse explained, and Butch froze in shock. He knew that something bad was going to happen to her after an accident like that, but mental issues? He couldn't bear to live watching her suffer like that...
"W-What do you mean by mental issues?" Butch finally asked after a moment pause.
"Well, we're not sure yet, and we are hoping to carry out another scan and as the Doctor is hinting, possibly an operation to save Ms. Matsubara's life, and then possibly carrying out some other procedures to save her from further brain damage." The nurse looked so sympathetic for Butch...
"Thanks." Butch said simply, and left the room, returning to the seat opposite his brothers. He just sat there, cupping his chin in his hands, his eyes full of sorrow...
"Butch, what did the nurse say?" Brick asked, walking over to his brother and seating himself in an empty chair next to him, closely followed by Boomer who did the same thing.
"She said that they might have to do some kind of operation to save her life, and then maybe another one to save her from further brain damage..." Butch sniffed, not looking at his brothers, who were taking it all in.
"Further brain damage?... Butch what do you mean further brain damage?" Brick asked slowly. Butch couldn't take the tension in the room any longer, and burst into tears, something that he rarely did... Brick and Boomer were shocked by this, and both put an arm around their brother.
"I-I don't know..." Butch said through his tears, and continued crying.
"Once the operation to save her life is over, they'll probably let you know what they're going to do next Butch... Don't worry, she'll pull through with your support bro..." Brick said, tears welling up in his eyes. He wasn't sure why, whether it was because of his brother's crying, or the look in his eyes which he had never seen before. And he hated it...
"Y-Yeah..." Butch said back, sitting up and holding in his tears, wiping his cheeks quickly, trying to regain his composure.
"I guess we'll just have to wait..." Boomer spoke finally, startling his two brothers.
Just then, a door burst open and in ran two girls. One with light blonde hair which was always in curly pig tails, and another with bright ginger hair that was neatly kept in a pony tail that reached just below her knees and was always decorated with an enormous red bow.
"W-Where's Kaoru? We just heard the news!" Momoko, the girl with ginger hair asked, clearly panicked that her friend was in hospital. Miyako, the girl with light blonde hair was crying softly, her tears and cries muffled by her sleeve.
"She's in the next room, but we can't go in yet..." Brick answered.
"What? Why not?" Momoko yelled.
"We don't know, they're just not letting us in..." Boomer replied.
"Well, have you heard anything yet?" Momoko asked, calming herself down as she received many glares from other visitors and hospital staff nearby.
"Yeah... They're gonna operate on her to keep her alive, and then maybe another to save her from further brain damage." Butch answered, staring at the redhead.
"What do you mean further brain damage?" Momoko asked carefully.
"Exactly my reaction." Brick smirked. Momoko felt herself blush a little... It was so cute when he smirked... She shook herself angrily, this was not the time...
"We don't know, they don't know themselves yet..." Butch said. Momoko frowned, and Miyako took it all in, her face still buried in her sleeve, tears streaming down her face from her light sapphire eyes.
"But... Then why won't they let us see her?" Momoko cried, stomping her foot in confusion, and Brick got up and wrapped an arm around her to comfort her.
"We don't know Momoko, but we're sure that she'll be okay in the end... We all just gotta hope for the best and it'll come... Trust me..." Brick said softly, lifting her chin to look him in his ruby-red eyes. Blossom flinched as he smiled at her.
"Y-You're probably right..." Momoko sighed, and went to sit down. Brick followed her and sat in the next seat, leaving Miyako alone still sobbing in the doorway. Boomer noticed this and immediately went to comfort her. He wrapped an arm around her waist, and led her to sit in the seat next to him. Butch looked at the two pairs... I wish Kaoru were here to comfort me... I sighed sadly, and stared at the double doors behind which Kaoru lay, probably in agony...
So what do you think? ^_^ Please review for Chapter 2! :D Thanks for reading.
