I'm so sorry. I've been procrastinating lately because I have the stupid Constitution test coming up and it's just...asdfghjkzcvbnmqwertyuiop. Well, I'll try to update sooner.
It was the morning of my discharge. I was trying to put my clothes on, needing a nurse to help keep me steady. That was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life. Once I was done, my whole face was bright nurse didn't mind.
"Don't worry, sir. I've had to do that to SO MANY other men before." This didn't help.
"I-I know. I-it's just embarrassing…" I cover my mouth with my wrist and look away, not being able to hide the blush. The nurse laughs.
"You know, you're really cute." This made me blush even more.
"W-what!?" She just laughs again and winks before walking out of my room. I gulp and sit down on my bed, playing with my new iPod that Aomine and Momoi gave me. A small smile made its way on my face as I look on the back, reading the quote once again.
My eyes started to feel heavy. I lay down and yawn, getting slightly mad at myself. What the hell is wrong with me? I just got up an hour ago! I sigh and close my eyes for just a little bit, but they snap open when I hear a familiar voice.
"Well, Taiga, I hear that you're staying at a friend's house. I guess you won't be able to spend time with me then." I look over at the person who just came into my room, fear clear in my eyes.
"D-dad…" The man in front of me nods, twirling the knife in his hand.
"That's right. I'm just here to…see you off." I gulp as he comes closer, pointing the knife towards me. I start to back up, but almost fall off the bed. I look over and see that even if I did get up, it wouldn't help. He was blocking the only exit.
"G-get away from me! I'll scream!" A smirk formed on his face before he lunged toward me, putting duct tape over my mouth. My eyes widen and before I could react, he put the sharp knife to my neck. A lump formed in my throat as I feel my neck start to bleed slightly. My dad just smirks and leans in close, whispering in my ear.
"I'll forgive you for everything and keep you alive if you tell all your friends that you were lying." I shake my head slightly, tears rolling down my cheeks. His smirk disappeared as he took the knife from my neck and stabbed it into my arm. My eyes widen as I try to scream, the duct tape muffing it.
"How about now, Taiga?! You wanna do as I say now?!" I squeeze my eyes shut, groaning loudly. Dad was never a patient man, so when I didn't answer right after he asked me, he yanked the knife out. I bite my lip and groaned more, tasting the coppery flavor of blood in my mouth. I still didn't give him an answer. Dad just clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"I guess you won't come quietly. Then I'll take you silently." My eyes snap open and I gulp as the knife is pressed against my neck once again, making it bleed more.
"Goodnight, Taiga."
"Taiga! Wake up!" My eyes snap open, sweat dripping off my forehead. The shear fear of what just happened made me start to cry. I put my hands on the sides of my head and grip onto my hair, sobbing as I try to regain my sanity. I feel a hand touch my shoulder. I jump and look over at who was touching me. That's when I see Aomine, the sad look in his eyes. I just cry even more and reach out to hug him, making him smile slightly. He leans down and puts his arms around my waist, rubbing my back as I cling to him and cry into his shoulder.
"Aomine. Dad was…knife. Blood…dad…" The Touou ace just shushes me and sits down next to me. He kisses my head and pulls away to look me in the eye, a small smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm here now. I'm sorry that you had a bad dream, but when you are home with me, I'll make sure that you're safe. You can wake me up whenever you have a bad dream, okay?" I nod slightly and sniffle, rubbing my eyes.
Aomine smiled and hugs me as he runs his hands through my red locks. This soothed me in a strange way, but at this moment, I don't care. All I know is that I'm safe and sound when I'll be with Aomine. And I'm very happy about that.
"Thank you for choosing this hospital! We hope we don't see you again for a long time." I laugh slightly at the joke one of the nurses made and wave. It had taken about two hours before I was able to leave, but Aomine and I were finally starting off towards Maji Burger. His mom told him that she was gonna meet us there after she was done with her shopping. We were both fine with this, but it started to become a pain since I needed to use crutches. Aomine would help me when I would stumble though, and that was good because I stumbled a lot.
Once we got into Maji Burger, he lets me sit down as he goes up to order us something to eat. I look around at all the full tables, feeling my eyes soften as the people staring at me look away. My head hangs as I feel everyone's attention directed towards me once again.
"Oi! Kagami! I got you the burgers you wanted!" My head shoots up, seeing Aomine sitting down. He grabs his two burgers that he ordered and gave the rest to me. I just stare down at the plastic tray of food, not feeling hungry at all.
"Hey, you should eat. It's not good to starve yourself." I nod slowly, picking up one of the burgers. I unwrap the fatty food and take a bite, feeling my stomach start to stirr. I gulp hard as the burger starts to come back up. Aomine saw this, his eyes soften. He ruffles my hair and takes a bite out of his burger.
I swallow hard and put down the piece of food, pushing the tray away slightly. I look down, my lips trembling as I feel Aomine's stare on me.
"I-I'm sorry, but I'm full." Aomine just nodded sadly and began to eat my leftovers. We sat in silence until a group of girls stared towards us. I look up and see them red faced and shy. This made me gulp slightly.
"W-what happened? D-did you get into a fight?" I open my mouth to tell them a lie when, of course, the Aho had to speak up.
"His dad tried to kill him. Now go away." They all looked shocked, but nodded and did as Aomine said. I glare at him and hit him over the head. He scowled and was about to hit me back, but stopped himself.
"What was that for?"
"For being an Aho! But…" I sigh quietly, knowing that the girls were staring at us now, "C-can you please call your mom so we can go…?" Aomine nodded and grabbed his cell phone, dialing his mom's work phone. With a few simple words, he hung up and got to his feet.
"C'mon, Kagami. We'll go get your stuff and go home, okay?" I blink and smile faintly at the word home.
"Yeah…I'd like that."
Done. In the processes of writing this chapter, I have gotten my sister into this ship. :3 There's no turning back for her. Lol, until next time! -Sweet-Lemonade
