:Previously in Ones with Regrets:

"It's alright if you don't want to tell me," he said to make her feel like he was pressuring her.

"It's alright," she sighed, "I was at the hospital," she said.

Zen gave her a wide-eyed look and was silent.

To be continued...

Everything was silent except the clock on the wall. Zen was still holding his face of shock. Shirayuki was standing there, unsure of what to say.

The works that were stuck in Zen's mind and mouth wouldn't budge to escape. He wanted to ask why, what was wrong, was it her that was hurting or a family member, or or...or. He didn't know and won't know unless he just asks her. (A/N: ASK HER ZEN (:V) )

Shirayuki was shuffling her feet and was waiting for a response, but nothing happened. Five minutes have passed without a word from either one of them. She then started to move towards the door, and Zen snapped out of his conscious to see that she was walking for the exit.

"Shirayuki, what...what's going on," he said gripping her arm. She looked back at him shocked then just looked at the floor.

"I...I cannot tell you that. Sorry," that was the last thing she said before she walked out of the room.

Zen then sighed and kicked a fake object. In a matter of a few seconds, he walked over to his bed and laid out like a starfish.

The ticking of the clock was getting louder or so it seemed. The sun was just saying its last goodbyes until tomorrow. The exhausts of the cars were becoming less vacant.

He was just about to let his eyes flutter close but he then started to think about the past. Though, being sometimes has a hard time remembering it (-_-"), he started to think and tried to remember.

One thing he remembered that happened was once and sometimes twice, a month Shirayuki was unable to go play with him and he never understood why.

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~The past~~~~~~~~~~~~}

A little boy was walking up to a little cabin that was really hard to see in the distance.

Zen walked up to the cabin and knocked on the door. He was expecting to see Shirayuki but what he saw want Shirayuki. It was her father opening the front door frantically and ran out tube door. He was being followed by EMTs pushing a gurney. (Didn't spell that right I know).

He saw a glimpse of red. Shirayuki's hair. He always loved her hair and was always attracted to it when the sun shined down on it.

He had a look on his face of worried and wonder but mostly scared.

{~~~~~~~~~~~~End~~~~~~~~~~~}

Zen shot up like a person coming up for air. The tiredness quickly vanished and he moved quickly down the stairs and out the front doors. Hoping to see her blue truck still outside in his driveway, but he was meet with the vacancy of life except for the water fountain that was seriously unessential.

With much great disapproval, he clambered up tube stairs and into the mansion that would keep him captive until tomorrow.

:Next day at school:

Zen was itching to get to school to ask Shirayuki if why she was at the hospital for the same reason as it was the reason why she went there a long time ago.

He got his things from his locker and went to homeroom. Shirayuki was sitting in her seat reading a book. He started to walk toward her but he was stopped by a tugging on his clothes collar.

"HEY!" he shouted. He cut off his response when his friends came into view. "What are you doing Zen? I thought you were going to say away from her during homeroom or when everyone is near her." Mitsuhide questioned.

"Your right, thanks for stopping me," Zen said giving a weak smile but his friends didn't notice the weakness in his smile. Mitsuhide padded him on the shoulder and they all walked and sat at their desks.

They went on with the day but Zen almost slipped a few times. He wanted nothing more than just to stop everything and just burst out in class and ask her. But his "pride", mostly Mitsuhide, was stopping him doing so. Mitsuhide was doing this to protect Zen from anyone noticing/ knowing that Shirayuki was helping him with his failing grades.

It was eating at his mind but he knows he has to wait until later today for tutoring. He could ask her then and he can find a way to ask her without it coming our the wrong way.

He just wanted to know what was wrong and if there was a way for him to help.

:Shirayuki:

Shirayuki knew that Zen wanted to ask her again what is wrong, and if there was a way for him to help. She is really, seriously flattered that he cares but she can't get it out of her mind that if she becomes venerable around him, she could be hurt again.

She wanted to tell him really but she can't just yet. Her day went on as usual except the looks she was getting from Zen. It felt as though he was burning holes in her back and he was giving her worried glances. But what confused her most was he sometimes would look at her and give her a thinking look. (A/N: Shocker)

:Zens house:

The tension cloud was gone but there was something still there. They were working on the English vocabulary and Shirayuki made a small quiz for him to take. Zen was silently fidgeting underneath the table and he was making sure Shirayuki wouldn't notice. But he didn't know that she did notice.

Zen then sighed and then asked her.

"Was going to the hospital the same as why you went there a long time ago?" Shirayuki was a bit taken back by this and decided to answer him truly.

"Yes, it is for the same reason. I have cancer it may or may not be curable. I've had to go to the hospital when I was younger to get check-ups and sometimes I would have to go because sometimes it became a problem." she explained, and she felt relieved that he now knew. She wanted to tell him a long time ago but by the time she finally decided to tell him, he had left for his better life.
