Chapter 2:

Misaki walked to Seika High that morning with an unusually heavy heart and even heavier eyelids from her lack of sleep. She had been visiting the hospital everyday since the accident. She took every chance she got even if it meant a decline in her health. She sluggishly took one step after another knowing and anticipating his return to school. She stopped visiting him after the doctor talked to her that day. She sighed and stopped a moment when she remembered the last day she was in his hospital room.

For some reason, she couldn't get over the shock of what happened. He was sitting in bed and looked a whole deal better than when she last saw him. She remembered seeing him wrapped in bandages days before, and hearing the difficulty that came with each labored breath. She saw how he winced even during his morphine dreams. She would hear him gasp at night from some unknown pain or some nightmare he couldn't wake up from. She never cried so much her entire life. Not even when her father...

That day, she ran to him without thinking. She planned on staying calm. She knew what he had gone through...and it was all because of her. But she didn't, or rather she couldn't. It felt natural. It was instinct. She wasn't sure what it was but it felt right.

Misaki continued walking towards school. Her bag felt unusually heavy and she was filled with the desire to turn back and stay home. She allowed her mind to drift to Usui once more.

She remembered feeling his warmth and how despite the pain she caused he took the time to pat her back before he pushed her back. She remembered noticing how he registered her shock, her confusion and somehow she realized he felt the same way. He didn't recognize her. She thought he was just teasing her. She waited for the moment to pass but they were both staring at each other politely waiting for the other to offer some sort of explanation and provide some sort of clarity.

She remembered how the doctor walked in just in time. She stood there, frozen, not knowing what to say. Even the tears had stopped. She just stood there and all the while, his green eyes were staring at her, boring a hole into her, piercing her, trying to find some vague sense of recognition but seeing none. His smile remained on his face, warm and encouraging.

"Good morning! I'm glad you've finally woken up. What do we have here? A friend?" the doctor had said breaking the silence. Gerrard beamed at the doctor who took this as his cue.

The doctor held Misaki gently by her shoulders and slowly ushered her outside all the while saying "Are you one of his friends? Well, it's good you're visiting him but he's in a very delicate state right now, and hospital policy restricted visiting rights to family only. Say goodbye to your friend now. You can talk more to him next time." He said a smile plastered on his face, his voice calm and reassuring, exuding confidence.

She had waved goodbye as she walked slowly out the door and caught him waving back enthusiastically with a smile on his face. "Wait!" he had said.

The doctor froze halfway out the door as she looked up at Usui hoping...

"What's your name?" he had asked.

"My name? My name..." she was too flustered to remember her own name. She could feel her cheeks heating up and she knew she was blushing. "He didn't even know my name" she thought to herself.

"Misaki Ayuzawa" Cedric said, smiling lightly. "She's your schoolmate. She goes to Seika High with you, she's also the Student Council President" he added.

"I see" He had said, "thank you for coming then kaichou!" he beamed at her. The last thing she saw was his smile.

Outside the room, the doctor had taken her aside but before he could say anything Cedric came out of the room and asked to speak to him for a moment before returning inside.

"That was close. You shouldn't have been there in the first place. We don't want his condition to worsen. We had a feeling it would be selective, we just didn't know to what extent. Further tests will be done so we can map the damage and see if it's temporary and probably come up with a time frame. It's too early to worry about anything, the good thing is that he's awake and he remembers what matters."

"What matters..." she had said to herself. "What happened to him?" she asked.

"He was injured pretty badly because of the accident. He has something called Traumatic Amnesia because of the concussion he sustained from hitting his head somewhere, most likely on the pavement when he fell."

"Will he ever remember everything?"

"Who knows? These cases vary from person to person and depend on the extent of the injury."

She didn't have anything else to say. There were a million questions but the only thing on her mind was his face when he asked her who she was.

"I must advise you though, not to return during the remainder of his stay in the hospital. He may be discharged soon depending on his test results, but rules are rules. Oh, and The Walker family requested that he not receive visitors other than family members. I'm sorry."

Misaki arrived in school just in time to see Usui standing wayward in the middle of a crowd of students. He was smiling at random people and she saw how lost he was, not knowing what to do next yet how eager he was to try. She saw how difficult it would be for him without her because of how he intimidated the entire student body. She walked to him slowly, unsure of herself but

"I've made a resolve. I will help him remember. NO! I will MAKE him remember. I'll do anything it takes. I will not give up because if the tables were turned, if I were in his place right now, he'd do the exact same thing. He wouldn't give up on me. He wouldn't give up on us" She said to herself.

"Oy! Usui! Come with me." she said loudly as she pulled him by the scruff of his collar into the building.

"Thank you very much Ms. Ayuzawa." He said grinning at her and looking around at the eyes that followed them up into the building.
