How To cope
Chapter 5
2A.M., Makoto had to go to the bathroom. Slowly and carefully, she got out of the bed. She walked into the bathroom and flipped on the light. She glanced at her reflection as she walked by the mirror. She froze. She turned her attention back to the glimpse she caught of something on her pajamas.
"What the hell?" She straightens out her pajamas to see a huge blood stain on the sugar pink silk. She didn't feel any pain. "Oh my god, Ami, no."
She ran back out into the bedroom. She turned on the light, revealing a huge pool of blood under Ami. She grabbed the phone and called 911, she explained how she had gotten up to use the bathroom when she found Ami had slit her own wrists.
The ride to the hospital had taken forever. She still had on her blood stained pajamas and she had wrapped a blanket around her body.
"It's all my fault, if I had only made her go to bed before me, she wouldn't be here." She thought to herself as the sipped her hot chocolate and waited for the results of Ami's blood transfusion.
"Maybe I should call the others. No, Ami's put them through to much today." She looks up at the clock, "Well, yesterday."
"Miss Kino?" A receptionist called to a half filled room. Makoto stood and followed the person back to where Ami was. "She slipped into a coma. She had lost a lot of blood. The doctor's are watching her very carefully, if her condition worsens, we'll have to take her back into surgery." the nurse opened the door.
"Oh my god." She gasps as she sees her best friend laying motionless on the white bed. Both her wrists taped up, a flow of blood steadily going into her arm. There were tubes and machines hooked up to her. Makoto could barely speak. "Thank you." she said quietly, the tone in her voice asking the nurse to leave. She continued pondering over whether or not to call everyone else.
She picked up the phone and dialed Rei's number. She just hoped someone would be there.
The sound of ringing slowly brought Rei out of her sleep. "What the?" She mumbled, looking at the clock. "4A.M. this better be good." She yawns and walks out of her room and down the hallway. After the 15th ring, she answered the phone. "Hello?" she asked, still half asleep. "This better be good."
Makoto starts crying. "Rei, it's Makoto." her tone quickly woke up her friend. "I'm at the hospital."
"Why? What happened?" She snapped.
Makoto looked at her peacefully resting friend and continued "Ami slit her wrists, both of them. I woke up earlier to use the bathroom and I saw blood all over my pajamas. Then I went back out into the bedroom and Ami was lying in a pool of her own blood. I just panicked and called the paramedics. She just got out of a blood transfusion and she's in a coma." She pauses.
"I'm coming over. I'm gonna stop at Usagi's to get her. I'll see you soon."
Makoto heard a loud click, and started dialing Minako's number. She hadn't expected to get through but much to her surprise Minako's mom answered the phone.
"Hello?" she sounded half awake.
"Hey, Mrs. Aino. Could I speak with Minako. It's an emergency." She sounded rushed.
"Ok, let me see if I can get up." She walked upstairs with her hand over the receiver and opened up her daughter's door. "Minako." She says, Minako only stirred. "Wake up." she shakes her daughter.
"What is it mom? Do you know what time it is?" She looked at her alarm clock.
"It's Makoto. It's an emergency, she sounds like she's been crying." she hands her now wide awake daughter the phone.
"Makoto never cries." She thought, taking the phone from her mother. "Hello?"
"Is there any way you're mom could get you over to the hospital? Ami slit her wrists. I'm sitting right beside her and she's in a coma."
"I'll…I'll…be there." She says in shock and hung up the phone.
"What is it? Minako, what's wrong?"
"Something happened to Ami. We have to got to the hospital." She gets up to get changed into a pair of jeans and a shirt.
Makoto paced in front of the hospital, holding her blanket tight around her shoulders. Her eyes were still red from crying. She spotted Rei and Usagi running up the path. Both dressed in a simple T-shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Where's Minako?" Was asked.
"Right here. My mom was being a royal pain, she wanted to know what happened to Ami." Minako closed a car door behind her.
"You didn't tell her, did you?" Rei snapped.
"Of course not. Why do you think I took a cab over here. My mom wouldn't bring me over." There was along pause. "How is she?"
"I think you better see for yourself." Makoto turned to walk back into the hospital. They took the elevator to the fourth floor. They headed toward room number 408. "Let me go in first." She opened the door.
A few moments later, Makoto motions for everyone else to come in.
"When did you find her?" Usagi takes note of her heavy eyelids.
"I found her about two hours ago. I had gotten up to use the bathroom. And I spotted the blood on my pajamas." She opened her blanket and showed them her pajamas. "I went back into the bedroom and almost fainted. I saw Ami laying in a pool of her own blood. I called 911 and now we're all here. Ami had a blood transfusion and slipped into a coma from the lose of blood." She was now crying like she had been on the way to the hospital…
