Ch.4! THANK YOU to everyone that left me a comment on the previous chapter! Now y'all know who/why Momo is paralyzed, and this type of abuse still goes on today...sadly. Anyway, shall we continue!

Disclaimer - I do not own Bleach, neither the song "Everytime". The song belongs to Britney Spears.

P.S.: Cupcakes, if you want (it'll help you get into this chapter), search on Youtube "Everytime" by Britney Spears. It's a VERY nice, slow song; and I love it! When you search for it, play it once you see Next Day (which is after the line). K? Thanks! It's alright if you don't like the song!

Momo giggled childishly, biting onto the fork as the meatballs and spaghetti lay unconscious on her jade-colored plate. It was dinnertime at the quiet cozy Hinamori home. Momo's grandmother cooked one of Momo's favorite meals. Momo ate slowly, and every time she slowly ate, she was thinking thoroughly. Her grandmother knew what her granddaughter was thinking of.

"Momo, you're smiling to yourself again. Who, or what, are you thinking about?" asked her grandfather.

The woman shook her head, breaking her thoughts right away, and glanced at her eating grandfather. "I was just thinking about Toushiro." She replied truthfully. "He's really generous and a true gentleman. I wish he were like that. I told Toushiro this morning about it, and he was very kind to me. I thought he was going to laugh, or simply shrug it off uncaringly; but he did care! He reassured me and I'm starting to feel better now. I can't wait until I see him tomorrow…"

Her grandmother glanced at her contemplatively, but continued eating her dinner. Not noticing her grandmother's glance, Momo wheeled herself from the table and towards her room. Fortunately, she still had the song she was writing stuck on her head; and she wants to finish it as soon as possible. After she finishes writing and editing her song, she was going to try it on her piano and see if she can turn it into a real song.

Entering her pristine room, Momo took out her song-writing notebook and quickly flipped through the pages. Once reaching the midpoint of the notebook, she took out a blue colored pen and began writing the other half of the song down. As she did, she sang it to herself to see if it made sense, or if it fit with the rhythm, she wants for it. She scribbled and rewrote a few words as her handwriting got sloppier and sloppier as she quickly wrote everything before it fled out of her mind. Her hand began to ache as she wrote continuously. For the first time since her accident, Momo is writing a song about how a woman loves a man. Before, while she was depressed and into her dark world, she wrote songs about how life and love is unfair to women, and how men can be traitorous.

"Come in!" Momo said, not taking her eyes off her paper as she heard a soft knock on the door.

The door opened a second after and Momo's grandmother appeared with a slight frown on her face. Silently, she walked over to her granddaughter and sat on the edge of her bed. Momo noticed her grandmother's unusual silence, and confusingly, she looked at her grandmother's reflection on the mirror in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

The elderly woman sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Momo, answer my question honestly, please. " After seeing her nod, the woman continued to speak. "Do you have feelings for Dr. Hitsugaya? Not feelings of friendship; romantic feelings."

Placing her hands on the wheels of her wheelchair, Momo turned herself and looked at her. Biting her lip, she nodded her head and looked away. The woman sighed again and looked at her seriously.

"Momo, I'm glad that you're happy, but please slow down. I'm getting a feeling that you might fall in love with that man. You barely know him, and he's just a doctor that's going to help you until she start walking away. Most likely he won't be in your life forever."

Momo lowered her head down sadly. The woman groaned and knelt down in front of her. She took Momo's hands, causing Momo to look at her mahogany colored eyes.

"Momo, please don't be angered. I just don't want you to be hurt again. You don't know if he has a girlfriend somewhere, or if he's already married! I really don't want you to be hurt again."

Momo nodded and then turned her attention to her unfinished song. She thought that there was a hope, but maybe there wasn't. Her grandmother was right, and last thing Momo needed to know was that her doctor was a married man with kids and a lovely wife.

Next Day

After the talk with her grandmother, Momo lost inspiration and decided not to continue the song. Instead, she continued writing her songs about life and a loveless female soul. It was ten in the morning, and Dr. Hitsugaya called an hour ago to inform her and her grandparents that the result of her x-ray was ready, and that he would visit them around ten and ten thirty to tell them. Momo was happy that he was coming; however, she did not show it. She was falling for the doctor quicker than she even thought about it, and she does not want to be hurt again.

Momo opened her eyes as soon as she heard the doorbell ring. It was the doctor, and she couldn't show anything besides friendship towards him. She heard her grandmother greeting him. His low voice caused shivers to run up her spine, as she wanted to see him already. Growling, she rubbed her temples and decided to play a song while so she can get rid of the anxiety she has in her mind. Slowly, she began playing the soft tone as the lyrics replaced the doctor in her head.

Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me

Everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

Her thoughts were soon going to her ex boyfriend, and a tear ran down her face. Why did he have to do that to her? Why did he hurt her so much? He left a huge mark on her, and she can't handle sitting in a wheelchair anymore; but now that she released her pain, she doesn't have nightmares of him. Nevertheless, she has dreams of him now…

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

Her heart ached as she thought about the doctor's personal life. What if he had a special someone already and he's just being nice to her because he knows that anyone can break her easily? Momo bit her lips as her world began turning around again. What chance does she have with him? She's stuck in a wheelchair! What type of romance will she have with him or any other type of man?

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall
Without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you, baby

Momo took a shaky breath as she was done. She felt happy now that she had sung, though her pain was still accumulating inside her.

"You really do have great talent, Momo."

If she wasn't paralyzed, Momo would've jumped sixty feet in the air right now. Turning her head, she saw him standing by the doorway of her music room with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a small warm smile plastered on his elegant face. Momo forced herself to smile back at him and then turned her head and stared at the gleaming white piano keys. She heard the doctor pull a chair and place it next to her. She didn't look at him as he sat down and stared at her.

"Your grandmother told me that you performed every single night in restaurants, bars, clubs, homes, schools, and even in hospitals. Why did you stop? You have a talent that many people out there don't have and want."

Momo glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and sighed. "I don't want to embarrass myself. People are going to start questioning me about what happened, and I don't like revealing my private life to them. I can't lie to them either because that'll cause rumors to start around me."

"You're a very negative person, you know that?"

Momo looked at him and giggled, nodding her head afterwards. "Yes, I know that. It's safer sitting on the negative side than on the positive side."

"Why?"

Momo thought for a while and shrugged, shaking her head. Toushiro sighed and grabbed her hand, causing her whole face to redden.

"I analyzed the x-rays, and I'm figuring out a way to unstable your legs. But first, you have to see me tomorrow afternoon so I can do some other check up on your legs."

Momo nodded comprehendingly.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Momo. Oh, and before I forget, your grandmother and I made an appointment for you to sing and play for the senator's daughter."

Momo's eyes widened and she stared at him shockingly. The doctor smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't waste that great talent of yours inside this prison. Let it out and show people that no matter how you may look like now, you'll always be that great pianist from Seireitei."

Done! So, how was this chapter? Good? Bad? Great? Horrible? Was there any spelling mistake I did? Any sentence structure that I messed up? Don't be afraid to tell me! Anyway, did you guys like the song from Britney Spears (if you heard it)?
