Here's the next chapter. It didn't have that many reviews so I don't really know but since there are still readers who read it, for now, I'm continuing it.
Chapter 3: She Falls
She knows that she pushed herself too much a while back. Getting angry is not good for her and she knows that too well. And she hated herself for bursting out of anger. Anyway, all she said was the truth, isn't it? They really are just insecure of her, well if they know about their sickness, will they still going to get jealous of her? Maybe not, she's a beauty for nothing. She exists for no one and she's going to live for no one.
She feels it starting, hurting, breaking and she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want them to see her falling down because of her sickness. It's a good and bad thing that she's at the back. The good thing was, her classmates wouldn't see that she's ill and the bad thing was her teacher would easily notice her. She just tries to compose herself, ignore it. Continue living just for her and she pity herself. It hurts so much, tears fall on its own from her eyes. Then, she can't bare it. Her medicine, yeah right, her medicine. She's finding it but it's nowhere to be found. Crap! Oh god! She can't hold on any longer when Mr. Noda called out for her.
Mr. Noda stops from teaching and his students were staring at him too "Ms. Sakura, are you alright?" he asked.
Natsume look at his back, seeing Mikan hurting again. He doesn't really know, what's happening to her. She didn't care to tell him and he doesn't know what to do right now too. Their other classmates look at her too, they can see it. She was clutching her chest hard.
Mikan's chamberlain just came when he saw Mikan clutching her chest, he hurriedly enter the room and came to her aid. "Miss, where's your medicine?"
She's not replying, or is it right to say she can't reply. He dialed to his phone and called the director in, the director hurried at her room.
"Let's take her to the hospital, inside the campus" the director told her chamberlain.
The stretcher came and they lay her on it, hurriedly. And she's still clutching her chest. The director came back after the few minutes in their room. And they were talking about Mikan, they class interrupted.
The director cleared his throat his smiling face became so stiff and he looks like he's angry, really angry "What happened?" they asked them, all seems to shut their mouths. Natsume is worried about her, and he doesn't really know why.
"I'm going too asked again, what happened? Who make her angry or sad?" no one still answered her "Yuu, you're the class president. What happened here?"
Yuu stands up, taking his courage, it's his fault anyway "Sir, Ms., Sakura and Sumire's gang have a little bit of confrontation, that's all that has happened, nothing else" he explained.
The director looks directly at Sumire "Haven't I told all of you to take good care of her. Not to make her neither angry nor sad. It's not that because she's important but because she's far more important. And making a havoc in her second day is really bad" his eyes are only focus at Sumire.
Hotaru speaks out "Sir, if you may excuse me and I'm not being rude, how could we take care of her if we don't even know what's happening to her? How would we know what to do?" she asked him.
The director smiles at her at last. "That's a very good question Hotaru. She doesn't want me to tell you this but because this has happened I think I need to"
"When she was in Germany, she was having her treatment. They were trying to cure her but years passed and they still can't cure her. She isolated herself from the outside world. As you can see, she's a bit rude. That's only because you were talking to her and not just talking to her, you were being rude to her. If you wouldn't just be concerned with her rudeness that would be the best" he explained.
"What do you mean, sir?" Ruka asked.
He continued explaining "Mikan Sakura has a heart failure since birth and it worsen because of an accident. Her doctor said, happiness could kill her as well as sadness. In this instant she could die, just one attack she could die. She could die in this hour, or tomorrow or the next day. She could even die in her sleep; a bit shock could kill her too. There's nothing exceptional in her condition"
And he look back at Sumire "So, Sumire have you and you're friends realized that you could have killed her on what you have done? Because of what you have done, you make her lose the last remaining hope for her to live" he asked.
Sumire's head is bowed, drops of tears falling from her eyes, she's guilty, she could have killed her and she knows if that has happened she would be guilty for all her life "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry"
"That Sumire, don't ever tell her that you were sorry because she would pity herself more and you would lessen her will to live. For now, I think she's okay but I couldn't say that she's out of danger and she's resting. So, Natsume, Ruka, Yuu and Hotaru sine you were the top of this school or our so called elite, you four are the one who's going to take care of her. I hope you wouldn't forget your responsibilities" he told them.
The four of them nod, Natsume just clench his fist. For him, that was absurd. He never heard of someone that had died because of happiness, well sadness might be acceptable. But thinking that her life is in danger he wished that her sickness would be transfer to him, he doesn't know and he doesn't understand either why he cared so much for that girl.
The director exits the room when someone asked a question again. It was a guy with blonde hair and brown eyes, he's name is Koko "Sir, How about a heart transplant?" he asked.
The director stops from walking "Koko, I'm not sure about that. I think that's bad for her too. Thank you for caring for her" and he stepped out of the room.
Mikan just woke up; the bursting pain is gone now. Her chamberlain is standing beside her. She sits down.
"Miss, that's bad for you" her chamberlain said.
She waves her hand "I'm okay, I want to go to my room"
Her chamberlain supports her back "Miss, that's not good" he pleaded to her.
"Please, I don't want it here"
"Okay"
Her chamberlain is still supporting her.
"I can do it on my own" she stands up and leaves the hospital room. It's dark and quite cold outside and it doesn't even come up in her mind that the hospital is far from their dorm. When a black Mercedes Benz sports car stops in front of her. It lowered its tinted window. It was Natsume.
He smiled at her and she smiled back "Want a ride?" he asked "I was going at the club but since I think you need a ride, why don't you just hop in" he said.
She thought of not accepting his offer but since she thought the dorm is far from the hospital, she just accepted his offer. She rides in his car and put on the seatbelt. "Thanks" she said.
"Well, I can't just let a classmate walking on her own late at night. And it's a bit far I don't think you could walk that far" he told her and turn his car back "Where's your guards? Why don't you just let them send you back to the dorm?"
"I…I…"
"It's okay. You don't need to answer to anything that I say. You're a bit stubborn, aren't you? Here, you've left it" he gave her, her flute.
She takes it "Thanks"
"Anyway, what happened to you back then?" he asked, he doesn't want her to know that he knows as well as the others. And he wanted to hear the truth from her.
Mikan avoided his stare and just give him a small smile "It's my sickness" she just simply said.
"What kind of sickness?" he asked.
"Hmmm. Do you really want to know? I don't like others pitying me. I'm sure you would pity me and I don't want that" she said to him.
"I may not" he said. 'I don't and I'll never pity you because you don't want that but I want to take care of you at least' he thought'
"Okay, I'll tell you at my room" she said.
That's it for this chapter. I just hope you love it.
