Chapter 1 waking up
A/n: This was to be a mod released on Reddit but I decided to it into a story.
It's been six month's since I lost my girlfriend Natsuki to suicide, I thought that by ending it by being with her that I didn't think of who I would be hurting. Sayori,Monika and Yuri. Most of the students at Osaka High school still visited me but less and less students visited me. It was only Sayori that visited me anymore.
She held my hand her eyes filled with tears as she spoke. "My dad got offered a job in the capital and we will be moving soon. The doctors only said you have a 30% chance of waking up from this coma of yours, I wish I could be the first person that you see but that won't be the case." said Sayori sadly. And that was the last I heard of her.
Finally I opened my eyes to one of the doctors taking notes on a clip board when he noticed me. "My goodness it's a miracle." said the doctor with an excited tone. Eh? What does he mean by that? "Excuse me doctor just how long have I been out?" I asked curiously.
"Well I don't know how to to explain this" the Doctor started but was unable to finish his sentence. the first person that I saw was Monika , she had her head on the bed crying her eyes out. Monika moved her head to look at me and wrapped her arms around me. While crying again. "MC your awake" said Monika with a smile on her face.
I couldn't form much of an answer but there was a question on my mind. "Well yeah, how long was I out" I asked again. Monika was able to answer that question much more than the doctor. "You've been out for six month's a lot has changed since then." said Monika with an expression I couldn't read. "So what's changed?" I asked curiously. "A lot, for starters It turns out that her father was a gambler,according to the news." said Monika with that same expression. I was in shock , I couldn't believe it I didn't know Natsuki at all,after hearing that her father is a gambler I felt like wanted to vomit.
This was just unnerving to me,to have never really known Natsuki at all. Monika took my hand and held it within hers. "I know this comes as a shock to you MC, but it's the absolute truth." she said. So now it's beginning to make sense. Natuski's father is likely long gone from here. As if that shit stain of a father ever gave a shit about his own daughter. Monika turned to the doctor and lead him outside to likely talk in private.
In the hallway
"When will he be discharged doctor?" asked Monika seriously. "Well we can have him discharged today,he will need someone to keep an eye on him." said the Doctor just as serious as Monika. "Then I will be the one to look after him." said Monika taking charge.
"Alright just bring him to the reception area our secretary will have him fill out the forms needed for him to be discharged." said the Doctor. "Oh where are my manners,my name is Doctor Nathan Taylor but people call me Nate." he said. "Well nice to meet you I'm Monika" she said extending her hand. Nathan took it and shook her hand.
Back in MC's room
Finally Monika was back in my room and helped me out of my bed. "I do have one question, where is Sayori?" I asked while getting dressed. "Well she told me that her family have to move to Tokyo for a better job opportunity. She did tell me that she left a letter something else." said Monika as I got into my wheel chair. That makes sense, she did tell me that while I was still in my coma. As she wheeled me out to the reception area I signed some forms and just like that I was discharged from the hospital. Though we had to leave the wheel chair behind since it's hospital property anyway.
"I'm taking you to my place,lets just say that going to your place would remind you of certain things." said Monika as we walked to her place from the hospital. Makes sense though,sooner or later I'll have to piece together what happened. I thought.
Monika's house
It was a nice house I have to admit. She seated me on the couch while Monika walked into the kitchen to get me something to eat. As I was able to relax I thought back to that night,the night I found Natsuki hanging from a noose, I deeply wanted to cry all over again but not in front of Monika. Monika walked back into her living room with a tray full of food.
It ranged from sandwiches to various fruits and vegetables among even a bowl of soup. I started with the sandwiches and worked my way to the soup. Which thank goodness was one of the best. "Wow, you were quite hungry weren't you" said Monika with a smirk on her face. I finally decided to just watch some anime to take my mind off what I heard back at the hospital.
Apparently Monika came back with some of my stuff that felt familiar to me. As the day turned to night I could tell that Monika was getting tired as was I. I'm sure Sayori was having the time of her life in Tokyo,likely enjoying her new life at a new school with new friends.
Not that I minded of course but still it's her life and her families life. Monika turned off the TV. "Well I'm going to turn in for the night and you should as well." she said before ascending the stairs to her room. I was able lay down and thankfully Monika already brought a pillow and some blankets,before we settled down to watch some anime. I closed my eyes hopefully being carried off to dreamland,but what I awoke to was not the case.
Dream sequence
Apparently I was back in Natsuki's bedroom from a year ago, this was impossible it had to be a trick of the mind or something. Looking around I was confused. "How did I get here?" I asked "You don't know?" asked Natsuki.
There was no way I was seeing this but it was insane. "Know what?" I asked both confused a scared. "That you couldn't save me when you had the chance too that night!" said Natsuki angrily. "You failed to save me that night , you are nothing but a coward! I should have never fallen in love with you!" she screamed. It's like I was punched in the gut and kicked in the face at the same time. I couldn't believe it,the memories of that night came rushing back to me like a wave crashing onto the beach.
"This isn't real this isn't real!" I said. How could it be,what I was seeing was insane, out of this world and down right impossible. It had to be a trick, there was just no other way to explain this. But that was when I noticed an cruel evil smile on her face. "Your thinking that this isn't real aren't you?" she asked with a crazy smile on her face. She got up close to me and I could see the rope burns on her neck it made me sick to my stomach."It's quite real! And this is what you deserve you useless waste of a boyfriend." she said.
Dream sequence end.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I woke up screaming like a banshee that night. Monika must have heard it too and she came rushing down the stairs and threw her arms around me in an attempt to calm me down. And that's when all the memories came rushing back memories of Natuski's death, she knew what would have happened next.
Eventually I calmed down and was able tell Monika everything that I saw in that nightmare of mine. It crazy. "Look MC, it must have been your brain working over time processing all those memories all at once." said Monika calmly.
In the back of my head I had to figure out what was going on and get some answers to fill in the missing pieces. Monika mentioned a letter of some kind at Sayori's house and likely something else but what that something else was I have no clue.
Finally I was calm enough to lay back down with Monika ascending the stairs once again to her bedroom. While I was half tempted to follow her, I figured I'd stay here on the couch and head out by the next morning. I closed my eyes and was whisked away to dreamland for real.
The Next morning.
I woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs and toast in the kitchen. Walking into the kitchen I saw Monika cooking. "Good morning MC" said Monika with a smile. "Morning" I said with a yawn. I noticed that Monika also had the coffee pot brewing up some coffee. Taking a seat at the table, I was served some bacon, eggs and toast. Of course Monika served herself some vegetables instead of bacon along with her eggs and toast.
Well since today's the weekend I think I may be able to get some more answers out of Monika about what happened to the literature club. I thought. "So Monika" I began."What happened to the literature club?" This took her by surprise a bit,but she was willing to answer my question all the same. "Well,after Natsuki's death I decided to disband the club,you already know about Sayori but as for Yuri I really don't know anymore. She's more of a shut in than usual." said Monika.
"Well anyway, thank you for the food." I said with a smile. "Oh it's going to be raining today so you may wanna grab an umbrella just in case" she added. "Sounds like a good idea, I'll likely be out for a walk." I said. After finishing breakfast, Monika took both my plate and hers and washed them while I grabbed an umbrella and headed out the door.
