Frisk snapped her eyes open when she heard the door to the operating room slowly open. She glanced over at the door and saw Arial's doctor, Doctor Reeve, came out of the door, a white mask over his face.
Frisk looked over at her shoulder and saw Chara. Her head resting on her arms, looking exhausted and tired from yesterday's events. Frisk shook her awake.
Chara looking dazed open her eyes and wiped the small drool on her cheeks. She took a glance at Frisk-who was glancing at the doctor.
She then stood up and walked towards him. "Doctor Reeve, How is Arial" she asks, hands trembling. The red haired doctor looked at her and sighed.
"He is stable for now." He said, taking off his mask.
Chara nodded, her head down low. Reeve, looked at her with his soft brown eyes.
"He will be alright, Miss Coelum." He said, putting a hand on both the sisters.
"He is a very brave and courageous Kid. I'm sure that he will fight through this." He said, smiling undertsandly at the sisters.
Chara nodded, her face red with sadness and anger. Not for the doctor or for her son, it is for her.
"I'll take my leave now, Let's discuss his conditions more tomorrow."he said and then smiled, a nurse in another room dashed towards him, saying he was needed for another surgery.
"He'll be out in a minute." He called up from behind, and as if on cue, the ICU doors opened, and a little Arial was laying in the rolling bed, eyes closed.
Chara gasps, and dashes towards his side, and grasped the handles of the metal green bed.
"H-how is he, nurse?" She asked, hands trembling. The nurse only said a sad smile.
"His condition has worsened but he is still stable for now." He said, a soft sad smile on his face. Chara choked a sob and nodded. Not wanting to make her little boy see how weak she was being.
"We'll put him back in his room." He replied, and wheeled him back in to his room.
Frisk sighs sadly and looked over at her phone.
12:00 am
"WHAT?!" Chara exclaimed at the cashier, her body trembling in anger and shock at the Cashier in front of her. The cashier cringed at her outburst.
"What do you mean.. 13, 456.17?" She asks, hands shook in anger as she looked over at the paper that blotches the big amount of number in red color that she needs to pay.
"That's the amount that you have to pay, Miss. For the surgery and for the room." The cashier said, her eyes back in a stoic stare.
"But... that's too much." She said, eyes trembling. Frisk was there to witness it all.
She clutched her phone. It..was too much for them to pay, with her tuition and along with the apartment that they rented? They would go in debt!
She looked at the clock next to them.
8:54 am
They spent their night in the hospital, they didn't get to sleep in Arial's room though, because he just got out from surgery. They slept in the waiting room.
Frisk didn't go to school that day, she called her best friends Monster Kid and Fuku to cover up for her. Them telling the teachers that she was needed in the hospital cause her nephew had another attack again.
Chara thanked the cashier, albeit stiffly. Walking then towards Frisk. "Let's go." She said, and they then walked. Going to Arial's hospital room.
Opening the door, Chara met the sight of her boy laying in bed. Wires from machines attached to his s
Chara walked slowly towards him, her breath hitching in every step she takes.
She puts a trembling hand on his head,feeling the soft white fur on her fingertips.
The boy opened his crimson red eyes, the trait he only got from her.
"Mommy?" He asks, voice cracking from the sudden usage of his voice. Chara tried not to breakdown then and there. Frisk however was facing the opposite way, tears falling freely from her eyes.
"Yes, baby?" She asks, her voice cheerful and her face smiling but both Frisk and Chara new she was faking it.
"I'm sorry." He said, tears falling down from his eyes down to his furry cheeks. Chara shakes her head.
"No, No... why are you apologizing?" She asks, kissing his forehead gently. "I should be the one to say sorry, cause mommy didn't get to help you from the pain you're experiencing." She said, as she puts her hand on his.
"...you didn't get to go to work because of me." He said, red eyes down. She smiled and kissed him again.
"You're much more important than that stupid job, Arial." She said.
Arial sighs lightly and closed his eyes.
"Okay, I'll sleep now." He said, Chara nodded and sang him a lullabye.
One Frisk new all too well.
Frisk didn't have the heart to tell her sister the expenses that she needs to pay.
They were outside Arial's room, Frisk was sitting Idly on one of the blue benches, while Chara was drinking some tea out from a thermos cup.
The silence was uncomfortable.
"I want to have a job." Frisk said, breaking the silence, Chara choke on her tea.
"What?!" She exclaimed, getting a hushed whisper in reply.
"I want to have a Job. J O B? As in work?" She says again, her face in that usual neutral expression.
"No." Chara says, looking away as she drinks her tea again.
"But.. Chara!"
"The decision is final, Frisk. The only job you will only have is in the house. Doing chores and safe from the outside world." She replies, sipping the last liquid in the metal cup.
"Chara, Its fine. I want to help." She said, rolling her eyes, her voice still weak and croaky.
"Frisk, the world is run over by mafia men-monsters and humans alike! They make grocery shopping look like a battlefield and you want to work and shit? If I wasn't working on the good side of the neighborhood, I would've been done for." She said, scowling at her with her mean red eyes.
Frisk looks down.
"I have to pay for tuition." She said, hands fumbling. Chara halts, turning to look at her sister with wide eyes.
"How much.?" She asked, her face now stoic. Frisk looks ahead.
"Too much." She replied, eyes still down. Chara stubbornly refused.
"No, I don't care how much that is, I will pay for it. I'll get more jobs." She said, as she poured herself another tea. Frisk's usual calm demeanor changed, she slammed her hands on the bench's metal arms, earning a metallic clutter.
"You already have 3 jobs, Chara! Let me at least do something! Something to help you with the expenses!" She said, her eyes slowly watered. Chara halted, her hands trembling as the thought of her innocent sister walking alone in the night and something bad might happen to her.
"N-"
"Don't you trust me?" Frisk cuts her off, putting a gentle hand on Chara's hands (which was holding a cup of tea.)
Chara gulps. "Of course I trust you, but-" She says, Frisk cuts her off again.
"Then let me do this." She said, her amber brown eyes meeting red blood ones.
"Please, Sis." She pleaded.
Chara sighed, finishing the last bit of the liquid.
"Fine."
Frisk whooped in response and looked at her phone in delight.
3:30 pm
Frisk now walked towards her home, her phone and wallet safely tucked in her pockets.
She stealthily snook into the dark alleyway where she usually goes to for a shortcut towards their house.
It was 5:00 in the afternoon. Frisk noted.
The sky was a little dimmer and the alleyway looks a little gloomier than it normally was. She sighs.
She was almost home.
Suddenly a paper flew towards her face, startling her. (fate ammiright?)
Frisk stumbled a bit but then steadied herself. Grabbing the paper in annoyance.
Putting the paper into view, her eyes widen when she read the article.
