Scarlett: Okay, I know I suck badly since I haven't updated for like… eternity!

Amu: Glad you know.

Scarlett: I'm so sorry!

Ikuto: Just go and type the chapter away instead of wasting your time.

Scarlett: Okay but-

Amu: Just go on with it!

Scarlett: Hai! I don't own Shugo Chara by the way~

Amu's P.o.v

I fluttered my eyes open as white light blinded me and it took me several minutes before I actually got used to the blinding brightness that surrounded me. I looked around, everything was unfamiliar, where am I? What happened? I forced myself to think back but my head ached and I groaned out in pain.

"Amu! You're awake!" I heard a voice exclaimed and I quickly turned my head though it wasn't as easy as I thought.

"U-Utau?" I croaked out, my throat felt dry, heck it seems like I haven't spoken for a million years.

"Are you okay?" I looked beside her and saw Rima staring at me worriedly.

"W-What happened?" I grunted as I held my head and soon enough discovered that my forehead was covered with bandage. "What happened?!" I started to panic and Utau stood up.

"Rima, stay here and I'll call the nurse" And thus, she left as she closed the door softly behind her.

"Don't worry, it's going to be alright" Rima comforted me and placed her hand on my arm.

"I don't understand, what happened, tell me" I pleaded, something tells me it won't be good.

"Amu…" Rima looked away, sadness obvious in her eyes. "You…"

"I what?" I asked. I was getting pretty much impatient. "Tell me now"

"You had a car accident last 3 weeks ago with your family…" She muttered softly and I froze.

"W-where are they? They're safe right?" I asked softly as tears rolled down my cheeks, but Rima quickly took her hand away.

"Rima, answer me, where are they? Are they safe?!" I asked, this time louder and fiercer.

Rima simply looked away without saying anything and we stayed like that for seconds until I couldn't take it anymore and shouted at her.

"Rima, where in the world are they?!" She looked at me, tears building up in her eyes.

"Amu, they're not in this world anymore!" She cried out and I looked at her confusedly before it hit me, they're…dead.

I stiffened as the memories started flooding in my head, the car accident, Mama, Papa, Ami… NO!

Tears welled up in my eyes and I started shaking my head vigorously, not caring if it would worsen my current case especially with the bandage around my forehead while screaming the only word I wanted to say at the moment 'no'

Utau and a nurse quickly entered the room. The nurse quickly held me by the shoulders as she tried to calm me down while Utau approached Rima who was sobbing with a worried look.

"Rima! What happened?" She asked in confusion while I continued screaming out.

"I'm sorry, she just needs to know" Rima muttered softly and Utau growled.

"You told her?!" She hissed at the petite girl who stayed silent and looked away.

"Haven't we talked about this yet? I told you that we shouldn't shake her suddenly with the horrible news!" Utau almost shouted though it was impossible to be heard since my screaming was far louder than hers.

"Sooner or later she would learn about this too!" Rima pointed out.

"But, what you did just worsen her case, look at her!" Utau exclaimed as she pointed at me.

I was screaming like retarded, I quickly grabbed the flower vase that was placed on top of the corner table beside me and threw it down the tiled floor, shocking both Utau and Rima as they back away but the nurse who seemed to be used to this sort of things continued preventing me from causing havoc in this place which I just discovered, was the hospital.

"Ms. Hinamori, please calm down!" The nurse exclaimed though her voice was gentle and soft.

"How do you expect me to calm down?! My boyfriend died and now my family!" I shouted loud like never before as tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Please, ma'am, calm down" She murmured softly as she took a syringe from the metal tray on the foot of my bed and readied to inject it on my arm without me noticing.

"No! Shut up! Leave me alone! Get your filthy hands of me!" I shrieked out and somehow, I felt that it wasn't me, like I was a different person.

And then I felt it, the sudden feeling of weakness, numbness and sleepiness suddenly entered my body and then I noticed the empty syringe on the nurse's hand as she sighed at me and then my screams turned to mutters until there was nothing to be heard and I blacked out.

"There. That would keep her from raging for a little while but before she does wake up, please keep an eye on her" The nurse turned to Utau and Rima whose eyes were wide as saucers after what they had just seen.

"Will Amu be alright?" Rima murmured softly and the nurse nodded with a smile.

"Yes miss, she just need to adjust, every person who had gone with such an accident is normal to feel depressed and all, just comfort her in every ways you can" The nurse explained though Utau didn't sound convinced.

"But did you see her a while ago? She was crazy, wild and mad!" Utau exclaimed and threw her arms up.

"Miss Hoshina, as for now we will just have to let her rest, I'm sure that she's still tired even after the 3 weeks of being unconscious especially after hearing the…news" The nurse smiled softly. "Well, I have to leave you for now and call a janitor to clean the mess, thank you" She bowed down and left and minutes passed a janitor came and cleansed the mess and soon then left.

"Rima, look what you've done" Utau sighed and collapsed on the chair beside Amu's bed.

"Fine, I admit, this is my fault, I shouldn't have tell her, not now" Rima sobbed and sat down beside Utau as she placed her head on her hands.

"I'll call the others, they should know about this" Utau sighed sadly, why did this happen anyway? Why to Amu?

"Utau, tell me something" Rima muttered and Utau turned to her with her phone flipped open on her hand.

"What is it?" Utau asked as she stared at Rima's red, puffy eyes that still had tears on it.

"How did you feel when Ikuto…died?" Rima asked bluntly and for once, Utau was taken aback.

"What do you mean?" She asked, and then she remembered it, how Amu cried her eyes out, Amu's sleepless night and so were hers, when the world seemed to fall on us, when the light disappeared when we least expected it…

"I want to know, to know what Amu felt…" Rima whispered though Utau still heard it.

"It was the saddest day of my fucking life…" Utau sobbed, tears dripped down her eyes and Rima snapped her head towards her.

"I'm sorry, I was there, in his funeral, I saw his grave but I wasn't able to feel the pain, I'm sorry" Rima suddenly broke down into tears and hugged Utau.

"It's okay, It's okay" She hugged back and kept repeating those words but deep inside her, she was dying too.

Suddenly, Utau's phone rang, well, isn't that amazing? How fate was playing with them? Giving Amu nothing but sadness and giving others happiness and now, look, isn't that such a luck that Kukai was calling Utau? Yes it is.

Utau flipped her phone open and sighed in relief when it was Kukai who was calling and thus she answered it.

"Hey, Utau, wanna go out with me this Thursday? I planned to take a day off on that day, what'dya think?" She heard him asked and she bet he had that grin plastered on his face.

"Kukai, come here in the hospital Amu currently is in" Utau said, completely ignoring what the brunette just said a while ago.

"Huh? Why, what happened to Amu?" Kukai's voice suddenly turned worried.

"NOW!" Utau shouted and flipped her phone shut, gosh, Kukai is giving him nothing but problems, it's getting on her nerves.

"It's Kukai, he's coming after a while" Utau murmured softly and Rima just nodded.

The whole 30 minutes was so silent that you would have to urge to scream out but both girls stayed silent, millions of thought raced in their minds and a knock was heard as both perked up.

"Umm… I'm here, so what's up?" Kukai grinned sheepishly and entered the deafening room.

"You'll have to help us with Amu over here" Utau sighed and pointed at Amu who slept soundly.

"Why? I mean, she's still unconscious" Kukai said and sat down beside them.

"No, she woke up a while ago" Rima muttered and Kukai looked surprised.

"She did? What happened then?" He asked curiously, lately he had been very busy with work that he wasn't able to fulfill his promise of watching Amu and it seems like only Utau and Rima were able to do so.

"It wasn't very nice at all, she was crazy, she caused havoc and threw a vase thankfully the nurse was able to inject some tranquilizer or whatever that was" Utau sighed.

"Why'd she do that?" Kukai asked once more and he was getting a bit annoyed with himself since he knew nothing of what's happening to Amu.

"I told her the truth, I was just so stupid" Rima sighed and looked down, away from his stares.

Kukai didn't know what to say, he didn't saw what happened so he really didn't know what to do or what to tell them. But obviously, what happened to Amu wasn't such a good thing.

"So help us when she wakes up, I mean, we can't leave her in the hospital forever, surely she needs someone to take her in, now who would it be?" Utau explained and looked at the brunette and then turned to the petite girl but none of them volunteered and Utau face palmed herself in her mind.

"I can't, my parents won't allow me, and even if they do, I will never want Amu to see my parents argue" Rima muttered.

"I can't as well, I mean, all of us are boys, I don't think it's such a good idea plus I'm not good with the comforting stuff" Kukai shrugged.

"Fine, I'll let her live in my house for a while" Utau sighed but then Kukai looked puzzled.

"I think it would only make her feel bad" He huffed and crossed his arms as both girls looked at him in curiosity.

"Won't she remember Ikuto? I mean, sure she'd been in your house with Ikuto before right? It is still his property so surely she would remember him, don'tya think?" Kukai did made a point but Utau simply shrugged.

"We have no choice, where's the others when you need them anyway?" Utau hissed as she referred to Yaya, Nagihiko, Kairi, Yaya and Tadase.

"I doubt that it would be a good idea to leave Amu to them, they barely even visit her, I get annoyed with those guys, especially the cross dresser" Rima rolled her eyes.

"You're right, don't worry I'll teach them a lesson sooner or later" Utau cracked her knuckles.

The trio continued talking about their plans for Amu whenever she's ready to leave this hospital but everyone knows that it won't be so easy for her at all.

Scarlett: So, yeah, forgive me for not updating fast enough!

Amu: When are you updating again?

Ikuto: I'll be guessing… next 3 months

Scarlett: Nope, today! :p

Amu: She kidding…

Ikuto: I agree with you, my strawberry

Amu: Shut it.
