I dunno how I got the idea for this one. It just suddenly went up to my mind. LOL anyways I got positive reviews. Arigato Gozaimasu~ I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! And to bma925, its in bold because it can make the story more… you know, easier to read. I dunno what the word is but anyhow, lets get on with the story.(p.s. this story should be in Mature coz it contains violent words and… just one part called rape. But I thought teens would be best. Coz even though there are those censored parts, but I won't be relli, you know? Whatever…)
Chapter 2: Promise me no tears?
When she looked up from the pitch black vision, the pink haired girl saw something she didn't want.
She saw her little 20 year old sister being hurt by a man. Her brown haired sister was trying her best to hold the tears. She was touched from here to there. The man, perhaps around her age, but slightly older, showed no sympathy to her.
Amu, who was the real victim, was almost in tears. Why didn't the man took her instead? Why did her decide to hurt the younger her?
But Amu couldn't do anything. She was being tied up on a chair. And she couldn't escape. So all she could do, was look.
"Oneechan! Oneechan!" Ami cried out.
"Ami…"
NORMAL TIME
"Oneechan? Oneechan?"
"Mmm, Ami."
"Oneechan? Wake up?"
Slowly, Amu opened her eyes. It was pitch black, like just now. But the venue is different. No longer in her old house. The house where there were bad memories. The house where her late father had left for her stepmother. Who was now in jail.
Rubbing her eyes, Amu looked around. And she realized that she was in Ami's hospital ward.
"Oh, sorry. Nightmare." Amu said, still a little dazed.
Her little sister just smiled. Ami was a very optimistic girl. She always smiled and seldom cried. Except for that one time. That one painful time.
"Oneechan."
"Hmm?" Amu answered pouring water from a jug.
Ami went silent. "Well… I was wondering."
"What?" Amu looked at her sister.
Ami looked at her fingers. "I think, I'm gonna look after the baby."
Amu choked from the water. She was coughing hard.
"Oh my god. Oneechan? You alright?" Ami asked, patting her sister's back.
"No, no, I'm fine." Amu answered, still coughing. Her eyes were watery.
She rubbed her eyes, but it didn't stop. Tears seemed to flow down by themselves.
"Oneechan? What's wrong? What happened?"
Amu started sobbing. "Ami, are you sure? You're not experienced with all this. You're only 20."
Ami sighed. It was as though she was relieved. "God, oneechan. You scared me. I thought it was something else." Then Ami just smiled again. "Oneechan. I'm fine with it. I don't mind."
She patted her flat belly. "I've been thinking about it the whole day. I've made my choice. I'll take good care of it. Its my baby."
Amu looked at her sister. She was very brave. That was Ami. The girl with full courage. The one who often lived the spirit. Everywhere she went, Ami would lighten up the mood.
Amu's tears continued flowing. She couldn't stop. No matter how hard she tried.
"Oh, Ami. Come here!" Amu hugged the young girl tightly.
"Oneechan. Don't cry anymore. You're going to be the aunt of this baby. So promise me one thing k?"
"What is it?" Amu asked, willing to do anything her sister wanted.
"Promise me no tears?"
Amu was shocked. Of all things, Ami had asked her to not cry.
"Promise?" Ami asked one more time. This time her pinky finger held up.
Amu thought about it. "Okay." She and Ami's pinky wrapped around each other.
Ami smiled. Amu too smiled. Like she said, Ami can lighten up the mood.
AFTERNOON TIME
The nurse on duty, Seira, had helped Ami pack up. She was allowed to go home today.
"Nee, oneechan. You haven't told me what happened at Utau-chan's wedding."
Amu froze from what she was doing. Last night's wedding was something she had wished she wouldn't bring up.
"Well," Amu mumbled, fumbling with her fingers.
So Amu told everything to Ami. As the nurse was there too, the three of them laughed together.
"And… I caught the rose bouquet." Amu said softly.
Cling!
Ami's glass fell on the floor and shattered into pieces. The nurse too froze there staring at Amu.
"Shit. Sorry, I'll pay for that." Ami said quickly grabbing her purse.
The nurse stopped Ami and said, "No, no. Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret." And winked at her.
Ami gratefully smiled at Seira.
"Wow! Oneechan caught the rose bouquet. That is… WOW!" Ami said.
Amu blushed. She didn't think catching it was good.
"But did you know?" the nurse said. "Did you know that, if you caught the rose, it means you are gonna get married.
"W-What?" Amu stared at nurse, eyes opened wide.
"Yeah. That's what I heard too." Ami said.
"N-No way!" Amu said.
"Oneechan? Do you have a boyfriend that you were hiding from me?" Ami asked with a smirk.
"Of course not!" Amu yelled.
Marriage? That was something Amu had never thought of. Okay, maybe yes, she does want to get married. But, she just hasn't found the right one just yet.
"I wonder if that is true…" Amu said to herself.
