Chapter 7 Lies

It was a disaster. Twenty children where rush into the ER and there was so much blood everywhere. Every child was hurt in so many ways. She felt everything go in slow motion as they ran in, one child after another. Her hands where stain red. Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind. It was Dr. Schezar, he gave her a hard shake.
"Hitomy snap out of it or get out of her!"
At that moment she felt like she just crashed back into earth and her body went on automatic.

oOo

It had been twenty four hours and she had seen to many children. She finally was done for now. She grabbed her things and stumbled out the back doors. Everything was a blur in her head. She wasn't looking where she was going when suddenly she lost her step and was falling she braced herself for the impact but suddenly she stop moving. She looked up to very familiar mystic eyes. Her big brother was holding on to her. Suddenly he hoisted her up into his arms.

"Mamuro what are you doing here, put me down." She said between sighs.

"Allen called me. Besides you can barely put two steps in front of you. Just close your eyes tomy. I'll get you home. You worked hard today."

"This is why I love you Mamuro." She replied as she let him help her into his car.

oOo

Little did she know that around the corner Van had seen the whole scene unfold. His heart felt like it was being torn from his body and shredded into piece in front of his eyes. The girl that he loved was a lie. She hadn't even said that she loved him and she so easily said it to his biggest enemy. He slid down the wall and saw as Mamuro's car drove pass him with a sleeping Hitomy in the passenger side. Mamuro glance towards Hitomy in a loving way and drove away from the hospital. Van felt something dark rise inside of him. He couldn't even think straight. He was in so much pain. He clutched his chest and felt something wet fall down onto his hand. He reached up and felt tears on his face. He wiped them away, staggered up and towards his car. He was in a dazed. It felt like a nightmare. Driving back home he drove like a mad man. He couldn't…he just couldn't. He drove like what seemed like ages. He stopped when he got to the little beach on the side of the road. He remembered bringing Hitomy here. They had had so much fun playing in the water, eating and talking until sunrise. He remembered the moment he had looked at her with the sun behind her back and thinking, "she's the one." He got out of the car and walked up to the beach. It was alone and shadowy with the setting sun. He sat and finally grieved for what never was… for being a fool. He had to give it to him. Mamuro had won this battle but as he looked at that the rising moon he swore that he would win the war. He was going to end it and destroy Mamuro and his little bitch.

oOo

Hitomy got home and somehow her brother got her changed and into bed. She barely recalled the process but it was late at night when she woke up to an odd pain in her chest. Van came to mind and somehow she felt like he was hurting. She clutched her chest and looked for her phone. She was so disoriented as she felt for her bag. She finally found it and got her phone. She text him but didn't get a reply. Usually he responded immediately. Maybe he was sleeping or doing something? She lay down on her bed with her hand over her heart. The dull ache was still there. She couldn't go back to sleep and even the medicine she took didn't help. She was a doctor and knew all about crazy pains but never did she read about a pain, an ache, like this. The weird thing was that the only person that came to mind was Van. She felt like she was feeling his pain. He was in pain. She gave up fighting her mind that said that she was crazy and he was find and followed her heart. She grabbed her phoned and called him. He didn't answer; she called him five minutes later and nothing. She called him nine times more and nothing. She kept on living him messages about him calling her back. That she felt something wrong and she wanted to make sure she was just crazy and not right. She decided after so many calls he was dead asleep with his phone on silent. She knew he did that once in a while specially on big test days. It was 3 in the morning too. She tried to calm herself down and lay down again. She was going to sleep. She needed to trust Van. He'd probably call her back as soon as he saw the missed calls and crazy messages. They would probably laugh about it in a few hours. She sighed and turned off her light and snuggled in. Van was okay and later she would hear his voice.
