The Chapter Where Takuya started getting hurt (and you really know my stories begin when he starts getting hurt) and Location, Location, Location dug a painful hole in my ear.

Zoë's POV:

Takuya was laid out of the hospital bed, needles and IV's pricking his skin, which was a sickly white. He had a mask over his face and his hair was splayed across the pillow (OK, I know if you were to get stitches in real life, in your head, your head would probably have to be shaved. But wouldn't it be more unrealistic if he suddenly grew back his hair in the next chapter? Yeah, I thought so, so lets keep his hair ;) )

His eyes were a startling bright red as they shone up at me. The covers were rumpled from when he tossed and turned during the night and his hospital gown was crumpled. He had kicked most of the covers off so they just covered his legs. He was staring up at me in confusion.

'Zoe!' He said as if he suddenly realised who I was.

'Oh…' I said, my face crumpling with tears as I sat on his bed carefully and leaned onto him. His arms came around me and squeezed me and kept me safe, 'Takuya, your OK'

Takuya smiled and stroked my hair. 'Course I am. Why wouldn't I be?'

I sobbed for a few more minutes. We were interrupted by the door opening and we both glanced around to a startled nurse.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb. Visiting hours are over sorry. I see your awake mister. You gave us quite a scare. I'll just-' She gasped suddenly, taking a step back, her face horrified. We glanced at each anxiously and I unwound my arms from Takuya's neck and we sat up straight.

'Y-Your eyes.' She said shocked. I felt my face as if something was stained on my cheek. What was wrong with my eyes. Takuya took my chin and stared into my eyes.

'There's nothing wrong with her eyes. Their beautiful' Takuya said in my defence, wrapping an arm around my waist as I blushed.

'No! Your eyes, they're r-red…' The nurse said, starting to shake.

'And…?' I said annoyed. I placed a hand on Takuya's neck and pinched it. He nodded as if he understood. We needed to get out of here soon.

'I-I just. I've never seen red irises before. It's not-'

'I have a rare condition in my eyes, I would be happy if you wouldn't speak about it again. It's a sensitive subject' Takuya said, emotionally, as I tried to keep a straight face. My mouth wobbled as she turned, after apologising profusely, and walked out. When the door shut, we waited a couple of moments before roaring with laughter, tears starting to course down my cheeks. Takuya suddenly winced and then groaned, doubled-over, his eyes shut tight. 'Takuya?' I said worriedly, leaning forward and lifting his unhurt shoulder. He groaned again and suddenly went limp, his body folded over. I felt for a pulse, but decided against it. I was in a hospital for fucks sake, they would know. I ran out the door.

'Help? Little help here?' I said loudly against the mechanical beeps and low talking. A doctor jogged into the room and sighed a little. He was young-ish, in his early 30's and was kind of handsome. I was too worried about Takuya to really notice. I sat on the chair beside his bed , and kept jumping up from my seat.

'Whoo,' He breathed out through pursed lips as he sat Takuya up. Takuya lolled, his eyes half shut. 'What happened here?' I explained quickly as he laid him down and did a series of quick tests.

'OK, he's OK, he's just really tired with the concussion and all. He may be expiring disorientation and pain in his head so maybe it's better he doesn't communicate for the rest of the night. Maybe it's better if you head home miss, you look exhausted. I'm sure your…er friend wouldn't mind if you got rest'

I bit my lip as I stared down at Takuya's face. Mark 3, the third person who called me miss tonight. 3 strikes and your out. I stroked his streak and suddenly Takuya's eyes flashed open. He breathed out as if he was holding his breath.

'Takuya!' I said, reaching for his hand.

'OK, OK. Hi there Takuya. I see that you blacked out for a moment, but your fine now. I was just telling your friend that maybe she should go home for the night because you and her need rest.' He was speaking to Taki like as if to a baby. Takuya's hand tightened on mine and his eyes were wide.

'No, I'm going to stay with him for the night-'

'I really insist you go home miss'

'No, you don't understand, he doesn't like hospitals-'

'By his charts, it says he's 20. Old enough to look after himself. OK-'

And with that he started hustling me out the door. I turned to see a small and frightened looking Takuya in bed, completely mute. I was just out the door when a voice spoke up.

'Wait!' Said Takuya huskily, as if his voice hadn't been used in forever. I quickly edged around the sighing doctor and ran back to the bedside. The doctor rolled his eyes.

'I-I' Takuya furrowed brow in concentration. It seemed to take a lot of effort just to speak, 'Y-You need to go home…' I felt my face fall despite trying to keep smiling.

'Y-Your job… F-Fired' I thought about it what Takuya was saying. In the end, I knew it made more sense to go home and rest for a few hours before work starts. If I was fired, we'd have no income, since Takuya would be out of work for at least a week, if not more. We'd never afford that new place I promised to myself we'd get. I shifted from one foot to the other as the doctor drummed his finger impatiently on the bedside table.

Takuya's teeth were chattering and I saw he really didn't want me to go. I walked more slowly to his still body. I leaned over him and gave him a peck on the forehead and then kissing him hard and briefly on his lips. His red eyes stared up at me.

'Night night baby. See you tomorrow. I'll come after work' I pecked him again before swinging my handbag onto my shoulder and storming past the doctor and running out of the hospital, not looking back once.

'Y-Your back' The relief in Koichi's voice was irritating. I was still furious at him and I viciously ordered some hideous dresses off a website. He was met with stony silence.

'I-I'm so sorry… about last night' He said again. I refused to even look at him. His blue eyes searched me before turning into the employee lounge and he shut the door. I heard him ripping it out of Koji, the two of them arguing so loudly, I couldn't help but hear every word.

'This is all your fault' Koichi shouted.

'Hey! It's you who's flirting with her all the time, it makes me sick. Blah blah blah, Zoe this and Zoe th-'

'Fuck off. Like you and your girlfriend are any different'

'Yeah but there's a difference pig piss. She's my girlfriend, not a co-worker who I'm trying to get off, who by the way, already has a boyfriend.'

'She could be making him up'

'Yeah, because she was upset for no particular reason last night because he's in hospital. She wouldn't have been upset if he didn't exist. And by the way, idiot, if she is making him up, that's even worse for you because she's making him up to get away from you'

'JUST SHUT UP!'

'NO, YOU FUCK OFF ASSHOLE'

I stormed into the room. 'SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU! Look, I'm resigning really soon, just as soon as I can get a job elsewhere and I'm moving away. I can't handle all of this. I just want to be left alone with Takuya and me and NO ONE ELSE! OK?' With that I slammed the door, breathing heavily, the shocked faces of the blue-eyed twins faces still printed in my mind.

'Your home!' I said, flinging my bag and my coat into a huddle in the corner of the room. I flung myself on Takuya, who was reclining on the couch. I hugged him hard, melding his cheek against mine, my eyes clenched together in happiness.

'Hey there…' Taki said in a really tired voice and I felt my own eyelids drooping. I hadn't gotten any sleep last night. I leaned back and saw his face was pale.

'Why are you home so early? I was to pick you up on Sunday' I said, sitting up, so I was sitting on his feet. He grunted and tried to pull himself up but sank down. I saw out of the corner of my eye, a large bloodstain on the carpet and still some shattered glass sprinkled around. I saw most was cleaned up, a job I hadn't bothered to do last night.

'And did you clean up some of the glass?'

Taki nodded drowsily. 'But I couldn't clean up the rest, sorry, because I felt dizzy and had to sit down.'

'Why are you home early' I pressed.

'I-I…' Takuya started falling asleep. I shook him awake, then felt mean and stood up and slunk down beside the couch. I tilted my head to the left so we were eye level, with his head still pressed against the couch. Takuya looked at me seriously.

'I had to leave. They said I wasn't who I said I was and they were going to call the police just to ask a couple of questions. I knew you didn't give them our address.'

He guessed right. I had given them my address from 2 times ago, over a year ago, and they wouldn't bother to track us down. We were just a couple of kids with fake names.

'They also were freaked about my eyes,' He said, pointing at his eyes with two fingers, their round crimson irises dilating with the pupil, his long eyelashes shadowing his cheeks. 'And… they couldn't draw blood.'

I must have looked confused because his fingers reached incredibly slowly for his sleeve and then hooked it and pulled it up. There was a large bandage all down his arm. 'They couldn't find a vein for blood samples.'

'No veins?' I whispered, my face draining of colour. 'But… you were bleeding' I looked absentmindedly over at the large blood stain.

'I don't know…'He said as if he was going to pass out. 'So I ripped out the plugs and needles and ran. Now I feel kind of shit, so I'm going to go asleep' His eyes shut and I quickly shook him.

'Takuya, TAKUYA!' I said hysterically and his eyelids slipped open. I breathed a sigh of relief.

'I-I'm fine Z, I just need sleep because of my concussion. The overnight was just a precaution. I'll be fine.' With that he turned over and I watched his breathing slow. My eyes raked over his unruly hair and, checking he was asleep, I probed my fingers into his scalp, pulling back his dark chestnut hair.

And it was then I saw the cut, from his hair parting wear his bangs started to almost the nape of his neck. It had crusted blood around the light pink of the puckered cut. It had thick red string at regular interviews and I breathed in in shock and covered my mouth. I let the hair flop back, tears sliding down my cheeks. I sniffed and leaned in, my nose pressed against his neck and breathe in that Takuya smell, but underneath it all was a sickly sweet scent, of something foreign. A Takuya I couldn't remember…

I slumped down and closed my eyes to stop the tears from leaking out, and opened them to find myself in my bed. I gasped. The time was well into the night. When did I fall asleep? I couldn't understand how I made it here. I shot up, flinging my arms out and one of them landed with a thump on a heavy body. I gasped and scrambled out of bed. Whatever I had struck grumbled and suddenly, it was Takuya sitting up in bed, his bed-head hair sticking out wildly, his eyes drooping and his mouth half open in a yawn. I stared at him from my position on the floor, relaxing my cat like stance.

'Zoe? What's wrong?'

Instead of answering, I climbed into bed and burst into tears. He doubled took and then gathered me in his arms. I cried until I couldn't stop hiccupping, my nose was running and my eyes were swollen and sore. After I had calmed down, Takuya stroked my hair.

'What's wrong?' He said in a no nonsense tone.

'I-I' I started, unsure even why I was crying, 'I-I promised that I'd never come back to this apartment, and here I am. I want a fresh start' I said, snorting a bit. It was the first thing I thought of. Takuya smiled at me.

'We can get a new one easy, we can look through apartments tomorrow. But I know there is something else wrong. Did something happen at work?'

I stilled. 'Well… I began but then cut short, turning over. Takuya pressed into my back. 'What happened?' He said almost teasingly.

'I got into a fight… with Koichi and then he went into the staff room to give out to Koji-'

'Does Koji live in the staff room?' Takuya asked with an eyebrow raised. He encouraged me to go on.

'And then they started arguing that…that…'

'About what?'

'That… you didn't exist, that I was just making it up' I whispered, shutting my eyes, glad Takuya couldn't see my face. I felt Takuya stiffen, and he moved away slightly. 'W-What did you do?' He said, a smile in his voice.

'I went in and gave out shit to them'

'Atta girl.'

'No but… I'm just thinking… I mean it's totally ridiculous… but why are you here?'

'What?'

'Why have you come back…'

'Because you loved me and I loved you.'

'No!' I said, turning to face his wide eyes, the crimson red glowing in the dark. I stuttered for a moment, the mesmerising colour keeping me still. But I shook my head and continued.

'I loved you for 4 years, why are you back now.' I said coldly. He froze and I saw in his eyes hurt and discomfort. He sat up and pulled the covers off me and piled them on me. I waited. But he didn't say anything when he bent down and kissed my forehead gently. He staggered up and clumsily walked out of the room and closed the bedroom door. I was felt in silence, the gap beside me in bed feeling like the gap in my heart I had self inflicted, just a moment ago.
