Ch4
When Hitome woke up, she found van on her bed.
"Am I late for supper?" Asked Hitome
"You are a couple days late for supper." Said van, with some humor in his voice.
"What! How long did I sleep?" demanded Hitome?
"You've been sleeping for a week?" said van
Hitome couldn't understand how she could sleep for a week.
As her and van continued to talk, she easily found the worry in his voice.
"The doctors said you would be fine, but I was worried sick." Said van with tears welling in his eyes.
He looked at her with an overwhelming passion he had held back until now.
Van was about to kiss Hitome, when Allan walked in.
"Oh I see your finally up." said Allan
"Yea." Stuttered Hitome
"Are you coming down?" asked Allan
"Pretty soon." said Hitome
With that Hitome got off the bed, and headed out the door in Allan's awaiting arms.
Van felt so crushed after that, he decided to have supper in his room.
After supper Hitome went outside to get some air, there she found Allan sitting on the bench.
"Come here. I want to talk to you." Said Allan as he reached for her hand.
She knew what he wanted to talk about. She knew he wanted to talk about the last few days she was there.
"That kiss the night on the bridge was the all I can think about." Said Allan with a seriousness in his voice.
"What is there to think about?" wandered Hitome
"Do you love me Hitome?" demanded Allan. "Because if you do, tell me now!"
"I can't! This is too much!" said Hitome with tears in her eyes. "How can you ask me like this?"
"I'm sorry I got carried away. Please forgive me!" pleaded Allan
He reached over and pulled her over to him, but she pulled out of his embrace and ran inside.
When she got inside, she saw van. She saw that he was crying.
"What's wrong?" Asked Hitome
"I saw you and Allan together. Do I mean nothing to you?" asked van
"No it is not what you think!" assured Hitome
"It never is!" yelled van, as he stormed off, to his room.
