Last chapter: Rei nodded, and they turned to the doctor. Sana took one look at his face, and she knew...

When the time comes Ch. 3

The doctor looked at her, as though he knew she needed to know .. as though he knew everything .... "Akito is ."

Sana's fingernails dung into her palm, just say it! SAY IT! She yelled in her mind.

"He is going to be ... Alright."

Sana sank back into her chair, her head in her hands. He's alright, she thought, everything ... everything is alright.

But .. not everything. She and Akito .. They were still .. in trouble.

Trouble? Was that what it was? She could not think of a better word. Their relationship was in trouble. Their friendship was in trouble. Yes .. Trouble was the word.

But now, he would be okay. Everything ... Everything would be okay.

"May I," Sana said, standing up from her bench, "may I go see him?"

The doctor looked her once over, and then to his father. "Well, his father..." He trailed off, still looking at Mr. Hayama, who nodded, and said, "Its fine."

She shakily smiled her appreciation, and walked towards his room. Behind her she could vaguely hear Nao pulling Rei back as he tried to follow her.

She opened the door slowly, and peeked inside. Akito lay on his bed, his eyes shut, and his hands unnaturally tight at his sides.

Sleeping? She wondered.

But then she opened the door all the way, and Akito's eyes shot open. She thought she saw a trace of a smile on his lips as she stepped into the room, but ... No. It was gone. If it had ever even been there at all ...

She timidly stepped to his room. He made no objection, but then again, she wasn't sure that he could even lift his head. Then, she looked deeply into his eyes and knew ... He wanted her to come.

She flew to his bedside, her eyes already filling with tears. She kneeled by his bed, her head resting near him. Tears leaked out of her eyes, when suddenly she felt a hand rest softly on her head.

Looking up, she saw him looking at her, his eyes filled with sadness. He ran his hand down her face, letting it linger on her cheek for a moment.

Taking this as a signal, she threw her arms around his neck and sobbed openly. He sat up as well as he could, but could do nothing for the weeping girl but stroke her hair. But for Sana .... That's all she needed.

"A-a-a-" she stuttered, "Akito.."

"Shh," he whispered, "Shhh Sana ... everything's okay now."

She cried into his neck. "I-I-" She sobbed, "I ... If you ... Died .. I don't know .. What I would have done."

"Sana .." He whispered, "I'm here. I'm okay .. Everything's okay."

"I'm so sorry." She said her voice soft.

"No Sana," he said, pushing her away. "Don't be sorry ... No."

She stared at him. No? Why .. no? But she was sorry. She had a right to be, didn't she? And then she remembered .. No. He broke up with her .. he was supposed to be sorry.

Speechless, she could not utter another word. But then ...
