*Hidari POV*
I woke up to see Kaoru looking at me, worried etched on his face as he stared into my teary eyes. I jumped and squeaked, and he sprung back, hitting his head on the shelf. I laughed a little, but then saw that he was holding my journal. My eyes turned to slits and I swung at him, clipping his jaw.
"OW! I came up here to APOLOGIZE, ya know?" he yelped.
"AND GO THROUGH MY JOURNAL!" I screamed back.
"I only saw the poem," he said quietly, "and I'm sorry if I ever made you feel that way..."
"Just... go away?" I said tiredly. I hated having to deal with this. Hikaru, him, the hurt, I just wanted it all to... stop.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked, barely whispering.
"Maybe. Bye." I said, emotionless.
I tried to sleep, tossing and turning half the day and well into the night. Thoughts of Hikaru and Kaoru swam through my head, making me restless. Finally I caved and went to the medicine cabinet. Two pills, and I should be fine. I downed them with some water and tried to go back to bed. It didn't work. One more can't hurt. I took it and tried again. Again, I failed. I went back to the med cabinet and grabbed about five. I downed them dry, and soon felt light-headed. Stumbling, I wound my way to my bed in a room that spun rapidly.
Pretty soon, I think, I heard the faint sound of sirens, but it was like they were coming through a tunnel. My sister, when did she get here, was waving her hand in front of my face frantically.
"Hida, HIDA! Stay. AWAKE!" she cried, but it was muffled and far away. I tried to stay up, but couldn't. Sleep dragged me under.
