Chapter 8
Yume was in a hysterical daze.
Yuki ran inside and told Tohru to come downstairs quickly. Then he called a nearby hospital.
She lay on her side quivering violently.
Yuki came out from the house and ran back to Yume.
He rubbed her back slowly. "Don't worry Yume, Tohru will be right here." he said in a calm voice.
Tohru ran from the house to Yuki and Yume."Yume !" Tohru cried.
The hospital ambulance drove up to where they were.
A few men stepped out and placed Yume on a stretcher.
When the men lifted Yume up Tohru noticed the bruises on her beloved friend.
The men slid Yume's stretcher into the back.Tohru also hopped in the back, she wasn't going to let her friend go alone.
When sitting in the back all Tohru could think was;
Yume..I have to find out what happened to you…
When they reached the hospital they took Yume up to the Special Needs wing in room 201.
They put an I.V through her arm and put an oxygen mask on her face.
Tohru started to cry. Seeing Yume in that bed..reminded her of her mother.
Two hours pass and Yume finally wakes up.
Tohru was hunched over in a chair with her head laid softly on her bed.Tohru was holding Yume's hand tightly.
Yume looked at their hands then to Tohru's sleeping face.Tohru winced her eyes open.
Once she got fully-awake and knew Yume was awake the questions came pouring in.
"The bruises and cuts Yume how did you get them!" "Are you alright ?"
Yume told Tohru about everything. Then in return Tohru told Yume about her first run-in with Akito and how it was at school.
Then they both heard a knock on the door.
"Come in..."Yume responded also wiping away her tears.
The person who stood in the doorway was Momiji.
Yume smiled."Hello...Momiji."
"I heard everything...and...seen it too." cried Momiji
Yume smiled softly. "Don't cry."
Momiji looked up." But why…? I saw everything and didn't do a thing." He put his face in his hands.
Yume looked at him. "You could do nothing, so what is there to be sorry..or worried about..?"
Then 3 more guests rushed into the room.
Hatori Kyo and Yuki all ran in.
"Tohru !" Kyo exclaimed.
Yuki said nothing.But Hatori spoke."Yume."
Hatori slowly walked toward her.
Yume looked up at Hatori and just smiled. " Hello Mr.Sohma.."
Momiji stopped crying and looked up in shock, as well did everyone else.
Hatori shook off the feelings he was thinking of as he looked at Yume in that hospital bed."Well...Miss Arakawa, I wish you well."
Hatori then turned his back and left the room.
Everyone knew that there was something between those two.
They used to call one-another by first names..and that's not formality so it was obvious they had some sort of secret-relationship.
"Y-yume.." was all that Tohru could say. She knew nothing that would make her feel better.
"I don't..need to hurt Hatori." she put her head down. "Like Kana did.."
Tohru darted up.She knew if Yume knew about Hatori and Kana then it was obvious they loved one another.
"No! You never hurt him, he loves you and you love him Don't give up so easily Yume !"
Yume didn't budge. She just sat there. Wallowing in her own misery.
Everyone felt that they should leave..so that's exactly what they did.
They didn't want to hurt or disturb Yume any longer.
