Chapter 6: Please Don't Leave Me
Cagalli woke up when she felt a hand on her temple. She opens her eyes and saw Mwu standing there with a look of concern on his face.
"You're still burning with fever Cagalli."
Just then, the door opens and her History teacher, Murrue Ramius, enters her room, carrying a tray of food.
Mwu looks at Murrue " I think we should take her to the hospital, her fever is really high. "
"No I'm fine." Squeaks Cagalli in a panicked voice. She doesn't want to go back to the hospital. It's so lonely there. Memories flashes through her mind and she felt scared all of a sudden. She doesn't want to be alone again.
Mwu saw the panicked expression and realized that she's probably scared of going back to a hospital.
Mwu saw her panicked expression and realized that she's probably scared of going back to a hospital. So he nods his head, reaches for her hand and squeezes it.
"Don't worry, you're not going to the hospital."
He saw relief in her eye. He looks at Murrue and nods to her.
Murrue approaches Cagalli with a tray of food. "C'mon Cagalli, time to eat." Cagalli groans, still not having the appetite. "You haven't eaten since last night so don't complain." Murrue gently places the tray in front of Cagalli. "Eat up. I'm not leaving until you finish it all up." Cagalli groans again and scowls at Murrue. After eating and drinking her medicine, Cagalli fell asleep again.
She opens her eyes. The room was dimly lit. She was in pain. She felt like she was being squeezed real tight. She was having a hard time breathing. She reaches for her mouth and she felt something up her nose, she pulled at it and realized it as an oxygen hose. She placed it back and inhaled deeply. A nurse passed by her and smiled to her. She reached out her hand, calling for her. 'Excuse me.' But nothing came out. 'What's going on?' She couldn't speak. She grimaced as a wave of pain shot through her body. 'Help me mom, dad!' She wanted to shout but knew she couldn't.
She looked to her right and saw her mom on a bed beside her. She was sleeping so peacefully. She smiles to her and tries to reach for her, but her bed was not near enough. Her mom had tubes all over her body. She glanced at the machine as it pumped constantly, giving oxygen to her mother. She knew that it was what's keeping her mother alive. A single tear trickles down her cheek as she watched her mother. Then a loud beep was heard all of a sudden. Doctors and nurses burst into their room and gathered around her mother. 'NO MOM!' She shouts out but the only sound that came out of her mouth was a small squeak. 'Go away! I want to see her! Move! What's going on? What's happening?' Cagalli screams through her mind, while struggling on her bed. She wanted to get up and go to her mother, but she couldn't. One of the nurses turned to her and held her down. 'No! Please! I want to see her! Mom! Mom! Mother!' She was crying now. She knew her mother was dead. The same thing happened to her father a few days ago. First her dad, then her mom. They were going to leave her. Cagalli struggled more. The grip that was holding her was really strong. 'Please don't leave me mom!' Cagalli called out in between sobs. 'Please! I don't want to be alone! Don't leave me! Please mom! Please!' She screams as the doctors rushed her mother out of the room, knowing that she'll never see her again.
Her eyes flew open. She was back in her room. She was crying. Then she hears someone calling her name and felt hands on both her shoulders as if holding her down.
"Cagalli!" There it was again. Someone was calling her. she averts her head towards the source of the voice and was surprised to see Mwu. He was sitting at the edge of her bed, holding her down. She saw fear in his eyes. She then remembers the dream she just had. Tears threatened to fall again. With a sob, Cagalli hugs Mwu and cries.
Mwu's heart went out to this girl, crying in his arms. He hugs her tighter. He was so scared when he heard her screaming. He ran to her room to find her tossing wildly on her bed, screaming. He was so terrified when he saw her like that. He didn't know what was happening. He panicked. He was about to run towards her phone to call an ambulance when he realized that she was just dreaming. Relief filled him. He sat on her bed and tried to wake her up. He had to hold her down to stop her from struggling, but instead, she struggled more. and now that she is finally awake, she's crying so desperately in his arms. He guessed that the dream she just had was about her mother dying. His heart tightens, it's too much for a teenager to go through, watching both parents die, and couldn't do a thing, feeling so helpless. Mwu's thoughts were cut off as Cagalli pulls away from him and looks up to his eyes. Blue and amber meet. Cagalli smiles a tiny smile and whispers a "thanks."
Mwu's heart was about to burst for this girl. He just realized his love for this girl. He pulls Cagalli back into a hug and hugs her tight. He swore to himself that he would protect and care for her.
"I'm sorry Cagalli. I'm sorry that I wasn't there when those terrible things happened to you. But I promise you…I'll never be alone again. I will always be here for you. Just think of me as an older brother you never had, okay?" He felt Cagalli nod her head in his arms. "And if fate takes me, Murrue will be there for you. So don't feel sad. I swear that you'll never be alone again." Mwu felt tears gathering in his eyes, he lets go of Cagalli, placing his palm on top of her head for a second, before exiting the room. As soon as he closed the door behind him, he allowed the tears, he was holding, to fall freely.
Murrue, who was standing outside Cagalli's door, hugs Mwu, as he cries in her arms. She was a bit surprised when she saw Mwu crying. All those years with him and she has never seen him cry. She smiles a bit, feeling happy, for she just witnessed a very different side of Mwu La Flagga, a very sensitive side.
