Chapter Twenty One

Wake Up

Robin was running away from the place where their Grad Ball was held. Her tears won't stop from falling. Her house was a bit far from the venue that's why she brought a car with her. She quickly went inside it and drove off. She was crying so hard that she didn't care anymore to where the car was headed to. She was really mad at herself because she couldn't control her feelings when she saw what happened.

Sanji was driving so fast that they luckily located Robin's car.

Sanji: There's her car. SHIT! She's driving too fast!

Zoro: What should we do!?

Sanji: Let's just keep following her; I hope the thing I'm thinking won't happen.

Zoro: Shit! Don't tell me that! You made me think about that as well!

Sanji: She's driving too fast Marimo.

She couldn't stop crying. Wishing that she didn't met Zoro before so that she wouldn't feel the heartache she's feeling right now. Her vision was getting blurred because of the tears in her eyes. Then she saw a head light that was coming in front of her. She quickly turned the steering wheel and couldn't control where she was headed. It happened so fast that she didn't realize that her car was crashed. Good thing she crashed on the tree because if she didn't, her car will fall down the nearby cliff. She bumped her head on the steering wheel so hard that she lost consciousness. Her head was starting to bleed from the impact.

Sanji and Zoro saw what happened and quickly pull over to where her car crashed. They ran outside the car and quickly opened the front door. Zoro was about to carry her out the car when Sanji stopped him.

Sanji: Don't be so reckless. She might have some injuries that will get worse if you tried moving her. I'll call an ambulance and just let them take care of her.

Zoro was just staring at her. He was still shocked of what had happened to her. He checked her pulse; she was still breathing. After some minutes, the ambulance came to fetch her and he insisted to come along.

After the ambulance took Robin away, leaving Sanji behind, he contacted her mother to tell her the horrible news and then, he informed Nami too.

While Nami was talking with Usopp, she received a phone call from Sanji and quickly answered it.

Sanji: Nami-san, are you already calmed down?

Nami: Yes, why did you call? Did you found Robin?

Sanji: Yes…

Nami: What's with the voice? What happened?

Sanji: Nami-san, Robin-chan is in the hospital.

Nami: WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL"!? Making everyone to look at her.

Sanji: We were following her car and she was driving so fast. I think she lost control of the wheel and then crashed at a tree.

Nami: WHAT THE HELL! Where are you?!

Sanji: They are on their way to the hospital where Chopper is volunteering. I'll be heading there as well.

Nami: Okay! We will be right there! And then she cut off.

Usopp: What happened!?

Nami: Robin caught an accident.

Usopp: WHAT!?

Nami: I'll explain it to you later. Right now we have to tell the others and go to the hospital.

Usopp: Okay, okay.

Nami: Oh and Usopp… Remind me to kill Tashigi after this.

On the Ambulance…

Zoro lost control and held Robin's hand when he saw that she was really messed up.

Zoro: Holding Robin's hand. Damn woman! Don't do this! I haven't told you the truth yet! Tears were starting to form in his eyes. Why did you have to drive so fast!? You're such an idiot! You know that when you drive so fast, you tend to have an accident! Tears started to fall from his eyes. You idiot! Don't leave me like this! I don't want to lose someone important to me again!

Luffy and company reached the hospital. They saw Zoro and Sanji with blood all over their clothes and skin. Robin's mother was also there, crying.

Luffy: Where is she?

Sanji: In the operating room.

Nami: Will she be okay?

Sanji: The doctor said that they will see what they can do.

Chopper: I hope that she will be fine.

Zoro: kicking the wall DAMN! This is my entire fault!

Nami: Don't blame yourself; it is no one's fault. It's an accident Zoro.

Then the doctor came out of the operating room.

Doctor: Who is the patient's relative?

Olvia: I'm her mother.

Doctor: Ah yes. She's fine now. Everything will be alright. We will transfer her in the recovery room for proper observation. All we need to do is to wait for her to wake up.

Olvia: Thank goodness.

Doctor: You can visit her but only in two's after we transfer her.

Olvia: Thank you very much.

After five days, two by two visited Robin in her room and tried talking to her while she was in a state of coma.

Luffy: Hey Robin! Wake up!

Usopp: Idiot! That won't help at all!

Luffy: You should drink coffee! It always helps you to keep awake right?

Usopp: Luffy stop being like this! Tears falling from his eyes.

Luffy: Robin! I'll share you my meat, but only one, just wake up! He started to sob.

Sanji: Robin-chan. Please wake up; I will be the one to cook for you.

Chopper: Robin. I already checked you up, you should wake up now right?

Sanji: If you wake up now I will surely cook your favourite food and I'm sure that it will have all the vitamins you will need.

Chopper: I already asked the doctor if my diagnoses were correct and they told me that I was. Robin, you should wake up now! He started to cry. Why aren't you still waking up!?

Brook: Robin-san wake up, you haven't showed me your panties yet.

Franky: AW! Robin! I had read the letter! I'm sorry, wake up! You need to tell him the truth. Zoro will be sad if you won't wake up!

Brook: Started to play a sad song. Please wake up Robin-san, don't make us worry too much, Yohohoho…

Franky: Damn you Brook stop playing that song! Wiping out his tears. Robin wake up!

Nami and Zoro were the last one to visit her. When they entered the room, Zoro can't even look at her sleeping friend. Her forehead was wrapped with bandages, her face was covered with wounds, and her smile was missing on her face. Nami sat beside Robin's bed and tried to get her hand.

Nami: Robin, wake up. Look, Zoro's already here. Tears starting to form on her eyes. Your love is already here. We are going to take care of Tashigi. Robin, it was a misunderstanding. Zoro pushed her away, and you didn't saw it. She started to cry. Wake up Robin, it's been five days since we last saw you awake. I'm sorry if I slapped you on the face. I'm sorry if I yelled at you.

Zoro just stared at Nami then looked at Robin. He blames himself for all of the happenings around him. If he hadn't agreed with the idea of Tashigi, then this wouldn't happen. If he just had the guts to tell her that he loves her, then she would be in his arms now. He didn't want to cry because he knew that Robin wouldn't want them to cry over her. She's just in a coma, she will wake up soon. Before they left, he planted a kiss on Robin's forehead and then went off.

After Zoro and Nami left the room, Olvia entered.

Olvia: Robin dear, you're very lucky to have friends like them. Wake up, your friends and I are getting worried. When I arrived here at the hospital I saw your Prince Charming crying. You said you never saw him cried before. If you were awake I'm sure you won't stop teasing him. He's not good in expressing his emotions but I can see it in his eyes that he is pain. So Robin, wake up soon…

Aww… Robin wake up!
