hey guys! So, I'm You will be getting some life story from Sabine and learn a bit more about her. Most of the chapter will be first person in her POV. I won't tell you everything at once though. Enjoy! :D

Also, this chapter contains copy righted lyrics. It's called 'I Lived' by One Republic. I do NOT own it.

Sabine sighed as she walked over to the window of the music room and pushed it open, letting the cool night air and moonlight flow into the room. Her doctor had just left and she now had a lot of free time on her hands to just enjoy herself, having finished her martial arts lesson. They were always less vigorous on the days that the doctor came. She turned and looked around the room. There was a piano, a harp and multiple other instruments as well but her favorite was the guitar.

The young girl smiled at the beautiful wooden instrument and picked it up as she moved a chair near the window and sat down. Sabine let the instrument rest on her knee as the fingers on her left rested near the end of the neck on the second to last fret and the fingers on her right one resting on the strings as she prepared to play. Sabine sucked in a deep breath and closed her eyes as she slowly let it all out and began to pluck the strings. Just as she was about to get to the song itself, the door opened and her mother walked in. "Mind if I join you?" She asked sweetly.

Sabine gave a small nod and her mother pulled up a chair and sat across from her as she began to play once again, reflecting on everything she'd done throughout her life as she did.

My mother smiled, remembering the tune I played as she started to sing. It was a song we'd written a while back when I learned...

"Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall...
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall...
Hope when the crowd screams out, their screaming your name..."

I remember it like it was yesterday. My first karate tournament. My first chance to prove my skills. I had been training in martial arts since I was three and this was my first chance to prove my worth. I was five and had already earned my black belt. Due to me being abnormally skilled, the youngest opponent in my belt class to go against me was about ten years old. They couldn't find a younger one. Admittedly, he was good but in the end...

The boy gasped as I judo flipped him onto the mat and ended the match straddled across his back with his arm pinned to it as he lay helplessly on his stomach.

... I was better. Something happened after that tournament though...

"Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay..." I sing, remembering the day it happened. My friends had left the hospital room saying that because we couldn't hang out as often anymore, they weren't going to spend any time with me. It really showed me how much those two had actually cared. I cried for hours but my mother and father were always there to comfort me when it had gotten tough.

I was sitting in the hospital bed, propped up by a bunch of pillows as I had the tubes in my nose helping me breath. I looked up when I heard the door open and my two friends from school came in with solemn looks on their faces. I smiled at them and sat up straighter as they came up. I can still remember exactly what they said, even after all these years. 'We can't hang out with you anymore, Sabine.' They were blunt about it. That's all they said, not even giving me a chance to respond before turning and quickly leaving the room.

I started to tear up and sniffle when my mother walked into the room with a tray of food. Usually someone else would do it, but sometimes my mother would do it to show that beneath all the money and maids she still cared and wasn't above such tedious tasks. Our family always worked to stay humble about everything. She saw the tears in my eyes and calmly set the tray down, pulling me into a hug and just letting me cry my eyes out. I truly loved her and dad. She had always been my shoulder to lean on and he had been my encouragement as I continued my martial arts training after being released from the hospital.

My mother smiles st me as she takes over again.

"Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad...
The only way you can know, is give it all you have...
And I hope that you don't suffer, but take the pain..."

Every morning I need to use a nebular and take a lot of pills to keep me going. I will often go into painful coughing fits when I yell or push myself to hard. Sometimes there will be blood when it's bad enough... It happens increasingly more often with each passing year. It's painful but I told myself I would fight till there was no fight left in me.

"And I hope when the moment comes, you'll say..."

I open my mouth and belt out my part, "I... I did it it all~!"

I learned to ride a bike without the training wheels when I was four... And spent every winter for the past few years ice skating on the large pond in our back yard. On the days that I'm taking it easy, I'll play video games with online friends. They don't know much about me, nor I them but we have fun.

"I... I did it all~!"

There was still a lot I wanted to do though. I wanted to go to school. I wanted to make real friends. I wanted to have a rival.

"I owned every second, that this world could give...
I saw so many places, the things that I did...
And with every broken bone, I swear I lived..."

When I was homeschooled my parents would often take me to the places I was learning about so I could see them. I've been to Paris to see the art and history museums there. Rome, to see the great colosseum. Even to the great wall of China, where I learned about the Mongolian war.

My mother began to sing again.

"Hope you spend your days, but they all add up...
And when the sun goes down, hope you raise your cup...
I wish that I could witness... All your joy, and all your pain..."

I took over singing once again, "but until my moment comes, I'll say..."

My time was really limited, but I planned to make the most of it. This way, when I finally lose the ability to keep fighting, I can say that...

"I... I did it all~!"

I can fluently speak multiple languages. English, French, German, Spanish,Mandarin Chinese and my language, Japanese.

"I... I did it all~!"

With my remaining time I want to live a normal life, have friends over to just hang out, have parties and sleepovers.

"I owned every second that this world could give...
I saw so many places, the things that I did...
And with every broken bone, I swear I lived..."

As a kid, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with my parents for the summer and went snorkeling in the coral reef. One winter I went to Swedin and saw the Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights and saw a wolf up close.

"And with every broken bone, I swear I lived..."

When I was five, I fell off my bike and sprained my arm. I couldn't do anything for a few weeks so it was during that time that I had developed a small love for video games and met my gaming friends. I usually only do it once a week on the day that I am forced to take it easy.

"And with every broken bone, I swear I..."

When I was twelve I broke my leg and was in a cast for months. To occupy me, Yukari taught me how to play all kinds of instruments like piano, flute, harp, trumpet and trombone. My favorite one was guitar though. I would sit down and play it almost every night.

"I... I did it all~!"

I sometimes volunteer at local hospitals to visit children with cancer. Seeing them smile gives me hope. I help out with a community garden in the middle class part of town with the apartments and houses instead of the large classy mansions. I attend the big, important meetings with my father when he discusses the training of new police officers or trouble with the mafia.

"I... I did it all~!"

I wanted to meet someone special. I wanted to have my first kiss. I wanted to find love, if even for only a short time so I can say I did once.

"I owned every second that this world could give...
I saw so many places, the things that I did...
And with every broken bone, I swear I lived..."

I want to say that I've lived a full life.

"And with ever broken bone, I swear I lived..."

All the ups...

"And with every broken bone, I swear I..."

All the downs...

"I... I did it all~!"

I go to Ouran Academy.

"I... I did it all~!"

I may be in the process of making a few friends.

"I owned every second that this world could give..."

I plan on doing everything I still wanted to do within the next few years.

"I saw so many places, the things that I did..."

I didn't have much time to do it though.

"And with every broken bone, I swear I lived..."

My name, is Sabine Asano.

"I swear I lived..."

And before I reach eighteen years of age...

"I swear I lived..."

I'm going to die.

Sabine stopped playing as the two had reached the end of the song and smiled at her mom. It was only a few moments later before that smile dropped and she went into a violent coughing fit that caused her to drop the guitar. The neck of the instrument cracked as it hit the ground and Sabine's body jerked as the onslaught of coughing continued. Her mother jumped up from her seat and shouted, "Yukari! Yukari get the nebular! Get it now!"

It was only moments before the maid rushed into the room and hooked up the nebular, quickly getting the mask onto the coughing girl and turning it on. "It's ok Sabine... Just breathe." Sabine took deep, shaky breaths, wheezing a bit as the coughing slowly began to subside. 'I overdid it again...'
