The Story Of Sendoh Akira And I
Chapter 12
NO!
After the little squabble, everything went back to normal. I began teaching Akira just about everything. Soon, he got so good in basketball, not even I could beat him. And I'm glad about that. Only problem however, is that I complain a little too much. Sure, I'm glad he got better, but I still love to complain about this and that. nothing much.. Except for: -
He beats me all the time in our little one-on-ones
He still flirts around with other girls
He won't listen to me complain (actually. who would?)
Sigh. sometimes I hate that flaw. It makes me.. irritating. I don't mind.. At least I'm not seen as some perfect little girl who does what she is told. I'm quite the opposite, in fact. I contradict almost everything other people say. If they think I'm weak, I go about doing things that require strength. If people think I'm stupid (cos they don't usually get to see how intelligent she is), I start reciting Shakespeare lines and solve Math questions. I'm an impossible child, my mother used to say. I couldn't agree more. (Okayy.. I'm crapping here. on with the story!)
Now, Akira and I are both walking home from school. It is two months after the 'squabble' or whatever you call it. Akira had to go somewhere, so I had to walk alone at some point. We hugged goodbye and I went to cross the street. I was too busy thinking about our upcoming basketball match and was ignorant about everything around me. I was halfway through the road when I heard Akira yelling my name.
"Sakura! Look out!"
I whipped my head to my right and saw a car approaching me fast. I was terrified. Too terrified to move. One moment I'm looking at the car and its drunken driver (I dunno if people can get drunk so early during the day or not), the next I feel two hands pushing me aside and what do you know? I'm on the pavement!
It all happened in slow motion. I looked up just in time to see the car hit Akira with full force. Horrified, I ran to him as the car stopped. The accident seemed to have sobered the driver up. I didn't realize I was screaming continuously until Hiro-kun, who was nearby, took me in his arms and started to comfort me while someone called an ambulance through his handphone. I stopped screaming then. I scooted over to Akira and, his head in my arms and on my lap, apologized profusely while I cried.
"Akira, I'm so sorry! I should have concentrated more on what was happening! Akira, forgive me! And please.. please don't leave me..," I said. With a great deal of strength, it seemed, he lifted his hand to my face and wiped away a tear. Then he smiled. A weak one, yes, but still a smile.
"It's not you fault, love. Don't worry. Please.. tell everyone.. to.. take good care.. And don't forget.. I'll be waiting.. for.. you.. in. heaven..," he whispered slowly.
"Akira.. no.. you.. you won't leave me.. You mustn't leave me alone here! Akira.."
"I love you.. Don't forget.. Don't.. forget.."
Those were the last words he ever said to me.
"No! No! NOOOO!!!!" I wailed.
I was still sobbing and screaming hysterically when the paramedics came to take Akira's lifeless body away from me. Hiroaki had to drag me away. I don't remember anything else after that. Everything went black. I woke up hours later to find myself in a hospital bed.
