Chapter 10 Yellow Roses
~LEN POV~
"SHE DIED?!" Miku screamed out. All of our eyes started to tear up in shock. I wanted kick the doctor so badly for not keeping Neru alive.
"What the hell Miku?" Kaito kindly whispered to his conclusion jumping girlfriend.
"Young lady! Calm yourself!" The doctor quickly scanned our group. Rin was now crying on Mikuo's shoulder. He was finally warming up. Kaito was trying to soothe Miku and poor Gumi was tearing up. I was trying to hold back my tears, but they just kept coming.
"Your friend is fine for now, but not in good condition. She has had her right arm broken in two places, her right femur cracked. Her collar bone was slightly moved, she has a gash that cuts across her chest that we had to stitch up and she has a severe concussion. If she hadn't had her seatbelt on she probably wouldnt be still here." My eyes couldn't help themselves they erupted in tears.
The doctor looked at me and sighed a deep heavy sigh.
*That bastard! He is taking this like nothing happened!* I lunged at him, but Gumi grabbed both my shoulders and forced me down again. She gave me a look that said it wasn't worth it. No, it was totally worth doing.
"Your friend," he glared at me and I gave him my best death stare, "will probably have to stay here for a couple days at the minium. I recomend you ALL go home." He emphazied 'all' while staring at me. He then walked away.
"I'm gonna go use the bathroom." I said and walked away. I need to clear my head.
~GUMI POV~
I watched Len storm away. *He seems pretty pissed and depressed right now.* I looked over to Miku and Rin they were talking. So I walked up to them.
"Sure that sounds like a good idea Miku." Rin smiled at Miku.
"What's a good idea?" I asked.
"Rin and I were thinking that everbody could come back to my and Mikuo's house for the night." Miku explained to me. I had to think about it for a bit. One less day sleeping in the house with Gakupo would be pretty amazing.
"Sure I'll be able to come. Are the guys coming too?" I had to know if we were gonna hear the Xbox all night or not.
"Len needs to get out of here, he needs to get his mine off of Neru or else he will just mope around our house and school." Rin explained to me. She sighed, whenever one of us was down the American students would ignore us even more than they usually did. I guess they didn't know we have emotions.
"Okie dokie then." I gave my friends a thumb up and a wink.
~LEN POV~
As I walked out of the bathroom I checked the clock. 1:09 AM. God it's late, or early. I stretched I had never stayed up this late unless it was a sleepover or something. I walked back into the hallway where the girls and guys were segregated once more. I moped over to Kaito and Mikuo.
"Len, the girls were thinking that all of us could go back to my house instead of our respected ones." Mikuo said stuffing his hands in his pocket.
"Can I think about it Mikuo? I need some time right now." I said brushing off my friends, I didn't know if I should go with them or stay here with Neru.
"Whatever Len." I walked back to my chair and sat with my legs up against my chest. I closed my eyes to think...
I saw me sitting on Mikuo's beanbag playing Xbox with Kaito and him. We are smiling and laughing like idiots. Then I saw the girls doing their nails in Miku's room. We barge in and take their teal, yellow and blue nail polish. We then paint our nails too.
But then the thought blanked out, like when you unplug a TV. It fuzzily faded in. I saw a room. A whitewashed room with one cot. On it was a body, Neru's. Her hair was splayed out around her, not in her usual side ponytail. She was attached to one monitor. It was beeping away. Making small slopes in the line. Smaller they got. Until they stopped all together.
"NERU! STAY WITH ME NERU!" I screamed out loud. My eyes flew open and I felt five pairs of eyes flick on me. I felt my face get hot. I tried to sink into my knees, but I couldn't.
"Len are you okay?" Miku wondered.
"Did you make up your mind? Are you coming or not?" Mikuo asked me. It was obvious they were leaving, they all were packing up their stuff.
"I'm not going." I need to make sure my dream doesn't become a cold harsh reality.
"Are you sure Len? Where are you gonna sleep?" Kaito would be worried about that.
"The hotel around the corner or right here. I saw it when we drove here. It's a Double Tree I think." I hoped they had a room open.
"But what if there are no open rooms?" Rin said, concerned because I'm her brother.
"Rin, my iPhone." I opened and closed my hand in a 'Give' fashion. She took my bag and stuck her arm in, she rumaged around and pulled it out. She then gave it to me.
I opened up Safari and searched 'double tree hotel -' I checked the availability. I found one room for $199.
"Kaito, since I'm 14 I need you to be the 'adult'." I said pointing at the bluenette.
"Sure thing." Kaito shrugged he didn't care.
"Did anyone bring money?" I say out loud, I needed at least $210 for food and a room.
"No."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"Yes." Rin you are my savior!
"How much imouto-chan?" She said looking through her bag.
"Um, how much is on the debit card?"
"Didn't Crypton say they weren't going to fund us money on those anymore?" Miku sometimes you rock, sometimes you suck.
"Damn...Well I'll find a way. Kaito, you can leave, I know a way."
"Well...okay..." He, Mikuo, and Gumi left to go bring the car round front.
"Well Len, I hope you will be okay. If anything happens, just call." I went to go hug Miku for being a good friend when she added one more thing. "Stay cute shota." Etto...What just happened?
"Okay then...Here Len, take my bag, it has a pillow, blanket, the practiclly empty debit card and some water. I hope you find a place and be safe!" Rin took out the stuff she need, her phone. She hugged me and I hugged her back.
"I'll miss you onii-chan!" she said to me
"I'll miss you too onee-chan!" She then ran away to join Miku in the elevator. I waved until they left. I waited a couple minutes in the chair, just so I could grab an elevator without calling their's back up.
I casually walked, ran, to the metal box and waited for it, *The elevators are so slow here...*
The elevator finally came and I looked at the directory and pressed the floor 2 button. Cheesy music came on.
10 minutes later I was walking out. Thankfully the place I wanted was still open. I paid for my things with the rest of the money and after a quick autograph signing I left to go back up.
This time I had to share the elevator with some guy in his mid-thirties.
"Who are those for?" he asked me.
"My girlfriend." I responded in a monotone.
"What happened?"
"She got in a car crash texting me."
"Ouch." He got off at the 7th floor. The floor where the babies are. *A new father...*
I got off at floor 9 and casually walked, ran, back to the corridor next to Neru's room. I asked a nurse if family is allowed in the room where Akita Neru is being kept.
"I'm sorry little boy, but she is in no condition to be seeing family." She replied.
"Okay then...When will she?"
"I do not know."
*Useless nurse* I thought to myself. I sat back down in my chair, set my things to the side. I moved another chair over so I was on a makeshift couch and my stuff was on the ground. I set the pillow and blanket down.
Without thinking I walked over to the door where Neru was behind. She looked exactly like she did in my dream... White room, her in the cot with her hair splayed out. Except she attached to more monitors and had casts and bandages.
I bolted over to the nurse. She seemed frazzled by my speed.
"How old are you?" She asked me after looking over my outfit, I was wearing my regular clothes.
"14 ma'am. My name is Len Kagamine and I am a J-pop star. The same with my girfriend who is being kept in that room over there. I demand to see her doctor!" I yelled at the nurse.
"Okay!" She seemed taken a back from my rudeness. She spoke into the phone. "He will be here in a few minutes."
I sat down on my makeshift bed and waited. He finally showed up and I demanded I was let into Neru's room.
"Len Kagamine, was that your name? My daughter is a big fan of you and your sister. Was that your Vocaloid friends with you? Is Neru one too?"
"Yes! She is close enough to a Vocaloid, she's technically a Boukaloid, but that doesn't matter. What do I have to do to see her?" I demanded.
"Can I get a picture of you? Can you also sign it?" I sighed, people ask this of me a lot.
"Sure" I did his bidding then grabbed my crap and walked into Neru's room with the doctor. This doctor was much nicer than the previous one.
"She has had a lot of anesthetics, so she won't wake up. I'll be leaving now." He left.
I placed my pillow and blanket on the floor and my bag on the ground next to it. I put a stuffed banana in her left arm, the one that was only in a brace, my card and the yellow roses and white daisies in the vase I got on the table next to the cot. I then kisssd her forehead.
"I'm so sorry Neru." And with that I laid my head on my pillow on the ground and drifted into the deep unforgiving chasm of dreams and nightmares.
