Hey guys! Here's the next chapter for my story. I think I'll be working on this for a while until I get more ideas for Onodera and Takano-san's chapters :) Hope you like it!
The Day I Found
Chapter3-
'I don't want to know his answer...I'm too afraid.' I kept running forward, not looking back. I ran and ran until I came across a dead end. I stopped in a dark and black alley as Akira caught up with me and grabbed me by my wrist. "Miharu..." The surprised blonde-haired man started to say as we tried to catch our breath.
I was finally done catching my breath as I stared into his fair, sea-blue eyes. "I-I...f-forget w-what I said, okay?" I stammered as a crimson blush formed on my pale cheeks.
"How...How can I forget something like this?" He asked as he stared at my flushed face for several seconds before his mouth moved again, perhaps wanting an answer from me.
"Miharu...how did you know I was in love with...Ritsu...and why-?" Akira asked as his face slightly turned red. I looked at him as I felt upset and uncomfortable when I heard ''Ritsu'' called from his chapped lips.
"It was pretty obvious, and plus...you spoke his name in your sleep a lot of times." I told him as I stared at the rough and uneven ground. "I didn't say or do anything about it...because I didn't want to get in your way. I just want you to be happy..." I softly muttered as my dark red hair cover my emerald green teary eyes. 'I don't want to hear anymore...'
There was a long and unbearable silence until I turned on my heel and started to make a break for it. 'I know I'm being a asshole here...but I'm...just too afraid.' "Miharu! Stop running away! Listen to me!" Akira roared as he chased after me, grabbing my hand when he ran the 10 feet to catch up with me. I pulled away from his grasp and shook my head rigorously. I looked away and then started running once again, as soon as the soles of my shoes hit the cold asphalt I heard another pair only a short distance away from me. 'Damn it! Can't he leave me alone?' I thought as I stepped into a white lined intersection and saw a flashing red hand.
"Miharu!" I heard him roar my name as a my mind went into an unknowing state. *Beep! CRASH!HONK!* I gasped as I looked back at Akira and saw a white route bus driving towards Akira. I panicked. 'W-What do I do?!' I ran back towards the strawberry-blonde man and pushed him out of the way of the speeding car, and a minute later everything in my sight became a white and orange blur. "Miharu!" My name echoed in my head. "Why...why would you do that?" I heard someone ask as grief dwells inside of them. Some of my senses came back to me and I can see I was tucked in between Akira's arms. "A-Akira, I'd s-sacrifice my life for you...I just...l-love you..." I told him as I felt like this was the end.
'Even if I die now...I'm glad I at least got to tell him...I loved him.' I stared into Akira's blue eyes as tears stream down his fair, delicate cheeks. "W-we need to get you to a hospital!" The crying man cried out as he got his solid, cranberry-red phone out and dialed a short sequence of numbers on it. I couldn't keep my eyes open, it stung to open them. My head hurt and it smelled like burning rubber all around, I closed my eyes and sighed as everything went pitch-black.
Even if I die now...It doesn't matter...I wanted to live my life and be with Akira forever. But I don't think that will ever happen now...
Akira's POV-
I called an ambulance for Miharu. I couldn't bear to lose him now or ever. I may have been a dumbass as I never noticed how he even felt about me, but he's still my best friend. He's all I have left in this cruel world. We've been friends for more than 15 years, and I want to continue being friends...maybe even more than friends.
A few minutes later, an ambulance with a loud siren and blazing lights had arrived to the scene. They took Miharu and placed him on a stretcher in back of the emergency vehicle and of course I went along with him.
I was on the verge of tears, I felt like I wouldn't be able to live without him in my life. I let a big sigh out after we arrived at the hospital. I kept telling them to hurry up and help him, but it was all useless as they were doing everything they could to help my dear friend.
The surgical staff told me they needed to perform a life-saving operation on him and tears fell from my already blood-shot eyes. "We'll start to perform the surgery, but can you fill these papers out. It's pretty simple. We just need to know what you are to him." The doctor told me as he wrote down some notes on some medical admission paper.
"Alright, just stay put for a couple of hours. We'll start the operation." The brunette-haired doctor replied as he walked away from me and down the hall where a blonde nurse in a celery green uniform stopped him suddenly.
As the doctor left, I sat down on a chestnut-colored chair nearby and take out a pen. 'What I am to him...huh.' I filled most of the spaces in with the obvious things like: name, gender, phone number, and other important information. I looked back to the middle of the paper where a blank information box was, and stared at the question for several minutes. "Are you somehow related to the patient?" 'Well...I'm not related to him...but I-I'm kinda like his...lover.' I had no choice. It's wasn't like a lie, we're kinda like that. I sighed as I took the skinny black-inked pen to the "lovers'' choice and placed a small 'X' to indicate we were…lovers.
I remember what he said, "Akira, I'd sacrifice my life for you...I just...love you..." 'Who would actually die just for love? Well, I guess that's a perfect definition of pure and true love...' I couldn't help but feel happy. No one has ever loved me this much. My family wouldn't even do this for me. Forget me, they'd try to save themselves at that moment. My family is just...selfish.
RING, RING, RING. Someone was calling my phone. I looked at the caller and sighed as I answered the phone. "Hey, what's up?" I ask in annoyance. "Big brother...I heard Haru-chan was in a car accident. Is he okay?" The childish voice asked with a worried and depressed tone.
My eyes widened. 'How did he know?' "Tadashi...how did you discover that?" I asked as I felt a single tear fall out the side of my eye and silently run down my cheek, to the floor. Tadashi is my younger brother. He's the only one I care about in my family. The rest can go to Hell for all I care. There was a long and awkward silence until he answered back.
"It was on the news. It looked like he was severely damaged. So is Haru-chan Okay?" Tadashi asked as his voice cracked a little. I could tell he was holding back his tears.
"I don't know yet. They're performing the surgery, but let's just hope he's better than okay." I told the young teenager as I tried to make him feel better.
"Where's mother and father?" I questioned as thoughts of my family came to my head.
"Oh, they're probably busy with work-"Tadashi started to say as pain and sadness dwell inside him. "Well, they should pay a little more attention to you! You are their child after all!" I shouted as I grit my teeth in anger. I calmed myself down.
"You're 18, not a fully adult yet, they need to take good care of you or maybe you can come live with me." I told my kid brother as I let a sigh out.
I heard Tadashi snicker and I wondered what was funny.
"What's so funny?" I demanded in annoyance. "It's not that it's funny...Well, I was just laughing at what you said. You want me to live with you?" The blonde-haired kid asked as he softly chuckled. "Wouldn't that interrupt you and Haru-chan?"I could tell he was smirking as small pink blush slightly grazed my fair cheeks. "W-what's that supposed to mean?" I began to stammer as my heart started to race. I was speechless, 'Does my kid brother know something?' There was another silence until Tadashi replied back. "You know...he's in lovewith you. Are you that stupid? Didn't he confess to you?" Tadashi replied with a 'matter-of-fact' tone. 'This is embarrassing...How did my kid brother find out?' "Y-Yeah, but how did you know?" I ask as my voice becomes kind of shaky. Tadashi let a small sigh out. "Are you an idiot? Wasn't it obvious?" As my annoying little brother asked that damn question, the doctor came out for a moment.
"I gotta go, this is about Miharu." I quietly told Tadashi as I hung up. "Can I have the papers?" The brown-haired doctor asked pointing at the papers I just filled. "Uh, sure." I answer as I give him the papers. The doctor quickly looked through them and looked up at me. "Are you a relative of the patient?" The man asked as he noticed I looked nothing like Miharu. "Uh, well, He is my family...I-I'm his...l-lover, sir." I nervously answered as I stared at the light blue patterned floor. To my surprise, the doctor smiled at me. "Oh, I see. Don't worry, let's just hope he'll be okay." The auburn doctor softly replied as he paced quickly back into the operating room. I sat back down on the wooden chair and I let a sigh out. A crimson-red blush grazed on my cheeks as I stared at the white, cement ceiling. 'I hope he's okay. So I can tell him how important he is to me. He's my family. He means everything to me. He's the most important person in my life...'
