Chapter 14
Damn. Why do these things happen when you least expect it? I'm feeling pain right now. Literally. It hurts. What happened was that Brandon didn't know was that he had the safety click on. I took the gun from him and, stupidly, switched to manual. We struggled for the gun and one of us pulled the trigger. It shot through a brick wall. At least no one got hurt. When I stopped struggling, the idiot pulled out a switchblade and stabbed me, below my left rib. When he realized what he did, he ran away. So, now, I'm sort of bleeding to death. I helplessly struggled to get up. This is just perfect. I'm pissed. I was going to be late. It's all Brandon's fault. I will kill him if I die. I covered the wound with my hand. That didn't really help. More and more blood seeped out...
I haven't really thought death was a bad thing. The dying part is what hurts most. Okay, I'm losing concentration right now. Can't see well.
'Where am I? In Heaven? Wait, I'm dead? Hey! I can't be dead! I haven't even fulfilled my goal yet! I looked around. I barely can see anything. I could hear voices far away. So, am I really dead? I feel so weak. And tired. I could fall any minute now. But, I can't. No, I won't. If I fall, I might not be able to stand up. That won't be a good thing. I don't have the energy, but I have to try. I can't move. Hey, the voices could help me. Unfortunately, I could barely hear what they are saying. Again, I feel weak. This sucks. Wait, this could be a matter of life and death here. I have to get up. I must try.'
I slowly opened my eyes. I could hear, "Haruka! Please wake up! Please. Please.." That voice. Michiru. She's here. For me? "Micireu." What was that? I sounded terrible. I had a plastic thing that covered my nose and mouth. I think it was suppose to help me breathe. Michiru looked at me. Her eyes went wide as she jumped and hugged me. She looked so happy. "Haruka! You're awake!" I took the plastic thing off and asked, "Wha..what happened?" My throat was dry. "You don't remember?" Michiru solemnly asked. It was all a blur. I don't really remember. I felt very tired all of a sudden. "Haruka, please don't talk. You need rest. I can explain later. Just rest." How smoothing and nice. I looked at Michiru's warm eyes before falling into deep slumber.
I woke up. I turned slightly and saw the young goddess sleeping soundlessly on a chair. She looked very uncomfortable. I took the plastic thing off. "Hey." I whispered as I took my hand out and stroked Michiru's cheek. She woke up, startled. I smiled. "You look very uncomfortable. And you looked like you haven't gotten much sleep for a few days." I said, while she overlapped her hand with mine. "I know. I have been waiting for you to wake up." Michiru responded, as she got a little teary eyed. "I'm sorry to cause you the trouble. It must have pretty been difficult." I wanted to move. I probably have been in this bed for a few days or more. I lousily tried to get up. My side hurt. Damn. "Haruka, don't!" Michiru gently pushed me back down. "Why?" Did I lose some part of my body or something? I hope not. Better not.
"Because you were stabbed. Two and a half inches through your body. Someone found you unconscious in the alley and called 911. You lost a lot of blood before arriving at the hospital. You have been sleeping for about a week and a half now." She then softy whispered, "You nearly died." I bit my lower lip. "Hey, look at the bright side. I woke up. I'm fine now. So when am I going to get out of here?" Like now? Please let it be now. This place is so scary and small and too much white. And not to mention the fact that I'm wearing a hideous white gown. Michiru sighed and responded, "If you recover fast enough, you can get out in about a week." Well, it's only for a week. It can't be any longer. I must get out of here. I need to move.
"What about Brandon?" I asked, as hatred and revenge returned to my mind. I remember now. Damn him. "He is the one who hurt you?" Michiru asked. I nodded. I had an urge to like shift around. If you sleep for an endlessly long time, your body will become more tired. I already am weak. I don't want stay here, on this uncomfortable bed. Wait, Michiru. I was complaining stuff about myself and nothing about Michiru. Okay, okay. I guess I should start now.
"How long have you been here? You know, waiting for me?" I asked, patiently waiting for her answer. "Ever since you passed out, I waited for you everyday to regain consciousness." Oh. How thoughtful and caring. I owe her a favor then. Must be a pretty big one. She wasted her time for me! "Just to let you know, I appreciate it. And, since you wasted your time on me, I owe you a big favor then. Really, I do." I breathed in and continued. "Michiru, I always dreamt of you, being with me, everyday since you came into my life. I waited for you, just wanting for you to notice me. I didn't know how long it will take for you to notice but even if you didn't I was always satisfied because you were so happy. Just a glimpse of the smile of your face makes me so happy. I have been in the darkness, shedding sadness and depression in my own little world. But ever since we were together I've finally got out of the darkness and been introduced to the light. I don't want to lose you now. Never. You will always be in my heart and forever. And I just wanted you to know that I love you." Hey, that came out okay. This will be one of the very few times that I'm going to be all soft and mushy and stuff. Michiru was getting all teary eyed. Was she crying for happiness? Our love? Or both?
"Haruka, I love you too. I didn't know how.important you meant to me. Yes, I know I have been cranky when I met you. And I was ignorant to let you go. When someone called and told me that you were in the hospital, my heart crashed and I thought that I would never see you again. I was so depressed and I finally realized that you're everything to me. You're my soul, my life, my destiny, my lover. And I was a fool when I missed it for the first time. You are also my light too. Everything about you is so great and wonderful and special." Did she say special? Me? She's the special one. Her words are so loving and caring and sweet. I smiled and leaned as close to her as I can get without falling onto the floor. She smelled nice. I stared into her eyes, which were deep in passion and love that I always wanted. Our lips touched, just the slightest, and I wanted more. Okay, that may have sounded selfish, but what the hey, I always wanted her. Plus, I only get to live once, so what harm would that do?
I leaned in closer. Michiru backed up, a little. "Aren't you supposed to be resting?" No. Wait, I mean yes but no. "What if you are delirious? What if you have more surprises to tell me? What if you are lying?" Michiru wondered off with a few more questions before stopping. Should I answer one by one? What does she want with this? I responded, "I don't think I'm delirious right now. And no, I'm not lying to you. Plus, I'd like to surprise you once in a while." Well it's the truth. "You're so silly." Michiru simply said, earning a grin from me. "Well what can I say? Being all nice and caring have disadvantages, you know." Well that was definitely silly. Michiru smiled as she leaned in and kissed me. Delirious time.
