Chapter 1: The Stranger

It was an accident he thought. She crossed the road when it wasn't her turn to cross, what could have he done? A car going around 30 mph couldn't just stop the moment he stepped on the brake pedal, it weighed more than a ton, no way a car would stop within a second. The panic on his face was obvious and the shaking of his right leg was faster than before. The police were surely to arrest him he thought over and over again. He combed his yellow locks with his hands in nervousness and then rubbed his handsome youthful face with both his hands.

"It was an accident," his voice was in a harsh whisper. He looked around the waiting room seeing the handful of people staring at his reaction.

The doctor who swung the doors open caught the attention of everyone, especially his. He looked up meeting eye to eye with the doctor who had her surgery outfit on, the one size fits all surgery cloth cap, the dark navy blue scrubs. She looked at him and he knew it was he that she meant to look for.

"Sir," She walked up to him as he lifted his body off from the cushion chairs nervous to hear what the results were. "The surgery was brief and well, no need to panic."

It was relief that stretched across his face. "But…what about her condition?"

That's when his relief went back to panic again. "There are something's you should know about that we found during her surgery." She sat him down next to her. "During accidents like these, we usually ask the patient a very simple question, and when we asked her these particular questions, it seemed that she might have lost her memory."

"She lost her memory…" He repeated in a lower whisper, feeling guilty even more than he had.

"However, we believed that she had lost her memory before the accident."

"So I didn't…with her memory?"

"We know that you're not at fault for her memory." He wasn't sure if he should ask, after all he had no right to ask since he was the cause of her being in the hospital. "Well since the news is over, it seems that she's asking for you."

He was taken aback by the sudden request. "I'm…not sure," He averted his attention to the picture frame on the wall.

"She's requesting for your visit," she said again pulling on her navy scrubs.

"Alright," he was scared and panicking even more now that the woman he put in the hospital was asking for him. When the elevator doors opened to the floor she was in, and when the surgeon opened the door to the woman's room, his heart beat sounded loudly through his ears almost feeling it pound through his chest.

He saw the woman sit up from her hospital bed. Her curly brown reached down past her shoulders, the hospital gown she wore was over sized for her thin frail body. When she looked over to see him, her face seemed over exhausted from the surgery but her eyes were great in a dark cinnamon color. Her skin was a bit pale and off but it looked like it was regaining it color back.

"Here he is, dear." The doctor spoke in a smile and waved bye at her closing the door behind her.

He didn't know what to say or even do for the matter, so when he saw the chair by the window and her bed, he walked over to it and sat down in silence. He only glanced at her once but switched to his fidgeting fingers.

"Hi," Her voice was quite soft but inviting.

"Hi…" His voice was soft but guilty.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Matt Ishida." His reply was quick.

"Matt…" She repeated his name and thought about it. "I like that name, nice to meet you Matt."

He didn't know what she was doing with asking him all these question, he didn't understand why she wasn't yelling at him in his face or why she wasn't saying she'll be suing him or maybe she'll say it later on, maybe that's why she asked for his name. It was an awkward conversation but he supposed he should ask a few questions too.

"What's your name…?"

"Mimi Tachikawa…hey our names have 'M's in them!" She smiled the first time in front of him, it was small but cute.

"I don't understand…" She looked at him without that smile. "Why are you acting like this? You shouldn't be acting like this…"

"…Then how should I be acting?" It wasn't until then he remembered that she had lost her memories before all this happened. How stupider can he be today?

"You should feel…angry towards me," His face was serious in her view. But she did not understand.

"Why should I?" She asked a simple question which angered him even more to the point where he was raising his voice completely.

"Because Mimi! I'm the reason why you're stuck in this….in this hospital!" She was surprised by the look on his face she was even in more surprise. "I was stupid enough to take me eyes off the road and at that second I hit you! I hit you hard enough that you shouldn't be like this today! Maybe weeks but not today! Don't you understand?"

She sat on her bed surprised seeing his face in guilt and he wasn't even aware of how close his face was to hers a mere 20 inches wasn't close to him he assumed. But to his surprise all she ever did was smile.

"Thank you."

"What?" it was his only response.

Her smile was ever bigger. "You were scared for me; you cared for a stranger like me. It makes me happy to know that, so thank you Matt."

He, for that moment, did not know how to respond to that at all. He was surprised to her reaction towards the aftermath of the incident, her words and her smile that he seemed to misunderstand. He saw her hand reach for his face and at the touch of her fingers touching his cheeks he felt calm and no more in guilt and he didn't even mind her touching his face for that moment really. But the touch of her felt sweet just like honey.

"You were crying just a little bit," Mimi said resting her hands on her legs. "I hope you didn't mind that at all."
