*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Usagi sat down at the table next to her parents. It was their last day of vacation. Her parents hadn't realized anything had happened. Duo had helped her a lot. He checked her back every day to make sure it was healing the right way. The moment of the day still wouldn't leave her head. His face had been so close to hers. Why was she feeling this way, consistently? Her parents smiled at her and she smiled back.
Usagi had had Duo support her when she wanted to sit down and everything. She trusted him greatly for some reason. 'Probably because he's just good at being a doctor' she thought. Although there was more to that and she knew it.
Usagi took a quick glance at Duo who was sitting across from her but then looked away. It was as if it was too painful. Why did she have to feel this? Couldn't life just be easier? Just then her mom spoke up.
"So did you all like your vacation?" her mom asked the group.
They all looked uneasy trying not to stare at Usagi. They all faked a smile.
"Very much" Duo said covering up
Usagi looked at him. She felt like smiling but she just couldn't, her mouth wouldn't move. It was her fault the vacation had been ruined. Why was she always ruining things. Usagi could feel the tears coming but she held them in. Her eyes started to get red. Duo glanced over at her. He wanted to go over and comfort her but he just couldn't. Not with everyone here. He knew he would have to talk to her sometime. He saw her eyes getting red. He felt something inside of him but couldn't explain it.
"Usagi what's wrong?" her dad asked. Usagi didn't know what to say, she had to make something up fast. She looked over at Duo for help. Suddenly he sneezed. Usagi could tell it was fake and got the clue.
"Um.. I think it's just allergies." She said quickly giving a faint fake smile.
"You know me my eyes get red when I have allergies" she added in. She looked over at Duo and gave him a look that said 'thanks' but then looked away.
Usagi looked down at her untouched food on her plate. She hadn't been that hungry. Duo looked at her with a worried look. She hadn't eaten much. It worried him that she was getting weak from the lack of food. She had been sitting in the hotel room depressed the whole time. He had tried to cheer her up but it hadn't worked. He knew if he had comforted her more it would have worked but he felt uneasy around her and had been silent himself. He had had this feeling in him since the day he had healed her. He had been so close to her. Why had that been happening? They were just friends and friendly neighbors so why did he have to ask this? His head started to spin from the questions, why couldn't he get any answers? He got up and walked away from the table. He went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He splashed his face with cool water and tried to relax. He wondered if Usagi felt this way. His face dried and he went to go sit back at the table.
Usagi got up from the table slowly but making sure her parents didn't suspect anything. Minako took her hand and helped her. Her parents were in front of her and if they looked back it would just look like they were just holding hands as friends. "Here are they keys" Usagi said handing them to Minako. Minako nodded and hey walked to the car. "Mom dad, you go ahead" Usagi told them. They nodded and got in their car. Usagi couldn't drive in her condition from what Duo had said so she was letting Minako drive. Usagi knew Minako was her closest friend of the group and she trusted her a lot. Makoto helped Usagi to her seat. "Thank you" Usagi said smiling. Makoto got in the back with Rei and Ami and then they drove off. Usagi sighed, they were finally going home, but was it good or bad? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Usagi collapsed on her bed. It had been a week since the vacation and school started tomorrow. Her and her friends had just been school shopping. Her cuts were slowly healing but still hurt a lot. She looked over in the corner of her room and saw her flute. She had played the flute since fifth grade. She had also taken private lessons. Now she was the lead flute player but when she had been in sixth grade Kelly had. Kelly was as snotty as before and hung out with a lot more snotty friends. Usagi rolled her eyes. She looked out her window and saw Duo's Window. She wondered what he was doing now. He said he would be coming over shortly to check her back again. She was getting her bandages removed today. She couldn't wait, they were itchy and annoying. She heard the doorbell rang and went to go get it. Her parents were at work so she was alone. Otherwise they probably were going to suspect something.
Usagi opened the door and saw Duo. "Hey" Usagi said quietly. "Hi" Duo answered in a calm tone. Usagi felt uneasy again but hid it under her face and welcomed him in. Usagi had on a different halter top this time she couldn't wear the purple one it gave her too many memories of the awful night.
Duo had her lay down on her bed and he got out his tools. "Keep your arms at your side so I can remove the bandages." He said waiting for her reply. She nodded and glued them so her shirt would stay around her sides.
Usagi felt very weird when he had to check her back. He had to untie her shirt every time to check her cuts. Not that he saw anything but she just didn't like it. This was the only choice though. Usagi sighed and could feel Duo's warm hands on her back. They felt comforting and convincing. Duo slowly peeled the first bandage off and continued down her back till they were off. His hands slowly checked over her cuts. They would take a long time to heal, the glass had cut her deeply. He tied her shirt back together.
Usagi rolled on her back and stared up at his face. "Thank you" she said softly staring into his eyes. He nodded and realized how tired she looked. "I think I am more concerned on your sleep right now" he said seriously. Usagi dropped her gaze and stared at her bed sheets. She hadn't slept well at all. She lay awake at night not forgetting what had happened that awful night at the club.
"If you get worse I will have to get you special care which I know you do not want that" he said seriously.
She nodded slightly holding in the tears. Was he really this concerned? 'No, he can't be' she thought. Though something inside said he was more than concerned. Usagi got lost deep in her thoughts. The tears were near and she knew it. She didn't know what to say. He held his hand to her cheek and lifted her face so she stared at him. His palm felt warm and soft against her cheek. The tear slid down and his thumb quickly scraped it off. Duo didn't know why his reactions were acting this way. He wanted her to be happy deep inside he just didn't want to look deep inside.
"Please get more sleep" he said sincerely.
Usagi slightly nodded her cheek still in his palm. Duo didn't know what to say.
"Bye" he muttered grabbing his stuff leaving her room. His footsteps were soon followed by a door slamming. Usagi winced and another tear slid down her cheek. Why did this have to happen. She did need sleep though and she knew Duo was concerned and so were her friends. Usagi wanted to please her friends but what about Duo. He seemed different. She just couldn't point it out yet.
Usagi slowly closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. A sleep she hadn't had for at least a year. One she would need for tomorrow, the first day of school. She didn't want to go but she knew she would have to, she would have to be brave.
Gomen if that chapter was short! I wanted to stop it there! I hope you liked it though! Ja ne! *~Usagi Princess~* ^_^ ^_~ *_*
