Chapter 11- More bad news
Ryou's POV
I've never felt so helpless in my life before. I haven't slept in days, saying I was tired was an understatement. But I can't sleep...not even sleeping medicine can put me to sleep. Believe me, I've tried. Anzu has just been rushed into the emergency room minutes ago. My body feels numb, and yet I paste around in the hallway restlessly like an idiot. I can't help it though...I wish it was me that was dying rather than her. I felt my body tremble and I saw my hands shake as I remember the events of this morning. I can still feel her body collapse into my arms as I looked helplessly into her pained expression and bloodied mouth. I've never been so scared. I've never been so worried about someone...but then again, I never been in love before.
Tears had started to form without me knowing, but I don't care...nothing matters except for her right now. I'm worried...I don't know what's going to happen next...and truth be told...I really don't know if I want to find out...why do I have a feeling that the outcome of this isn't going to be good? What am I going to do without her? Will I be able to move on? That I rather not think about right now...
The doctors came out of the room and Ryou stood up so quickly that his head started spinning. He ran up to the doctor and shook his shoulders violently, panic in his voice.
"How is she? Is she alright?"
The doctor put a hand on his shoulder to calm him. "She's stable right now...however I do have some news to tell you both...but before that, maybe you should see her first..."
With that, the doctor left to get some folders. Ryou, not wanting to think about what kind of news is going to be revealed went into the room to see Anzu.
She was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. But she was awake, just too tired to open her eyes. She didn't look too healthy, most of her hair was covering her face, and her arms and legs were bony and covered with more of those strange red and purple dots.
Swallowing the lump in his throat, he walked over and sat at the side of her bed. Lifting his hand, he placed it on the side of her cheek and moved her hair out of her face. He saw her smile under his touch and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Ryou..."
He smiled a warm smile down at her. "I'm here..."
Ryou helped her sit up and with new found strength; she latched onto his shirt and buried her face into his chest. Ryou looked surprised but then he pulled her closer burying his face into her strawberry scented hair.
"I'm sorry I worried you..."
He hugged her tighter. "It's my job to worry about you" he tried to joke, but his heart wasn't in it. Instead his voice trembled, and he felt the stinging sensation that he hated at the back of his eyes again. Just when Anzu was about to question him, Dr. Taisuki entered with a handful of papers and folders. His face held an expression that told her nothing. A bitter voice at the back of her head told her that bad news comes her way.
"Hello Anzu" He waited for her to return his greeting but only silence answered.
"So what are her results Dr?" Ryou asked.
"I would like to say that I'm sorry but your results didn't come out as I hoped that they would." How do you tell such a young girl that her days were numbered? He knew that his news shouldn't come as a surprise but he also knew that Anzu was still clinging to the hope that everything was all just a joke.
"So what's going to happen?" she heard herself ask.
Silence stretched out as he thought of what to say next. "It seems that the results we had for you the last time has changed drastically" There was a pause once again as he struggled to collect himself. "With the way that everything is progressing, you don't have much time left. You have about nineteen days." Focusing on the girls bowed head he wished that he could see her face.
'Nineteen days'. "Oh. I see," of all the things she could have said 'oh'. Ryou tightened his fists and he felt her skin turn cold.
"If there is anything that I can do for you, anything that you would want, I will make sure that you have it." The wrong words to say her head came up and her large eyes locked with his making him suddenly wish that he couldn't see them again. The brown depths were alive with anger. He could feel it poor off her small frame.
"Anything I want?" she was angry and there was nothing that she could do about it. Her hands clenching she sprung from the bed tearing at the machines in the room. Turning them over where the expensive machinery landed with a deafening crash.
Ryou watched as Anzu destroy the machines that surrounded her bed. He would have tried to stop her. How could he when he felt like doing the same thing? He also had the feeling that she needed this right now. That it was something important. So he watched as she threw the last of machines to the ground, this one making a buzzing sound as the glass encasing shattered. She then started on ripping the bed sheets off and throwing them all over the room.
She went to move when the iv tried to restrain her this time instead of tugging to get more slack she reach down snatching the thing from her arm ignoring the pain the action had caused.
"Get someone in here now I need restraints!" Talking into the little call button Dr. Taisuki looked at the angry girl that was still tearing at her arm.
That was enough for Ryou. He wasn't about to let her hurt herself. Taking a step toward he was about to step toward her. That was till Anzu became aware of what he was about to do.
"Stay back! Or I'll swear I'll jump out the window right now!" she cried as she stepped closer to the window which the glass was shattered from one of the machinery that was thrown into it.
"Anzu, stop this!" the albino shouted desperately feeling even more helpless.
A movement at the window (those windows where people look to see the patient in the room) caught her attention and she saw her friends standing there with a basket full of fruits and a shock and saddened expression upon their faces.
As excited as she was to see them her anger won out and she picked up a chair that was next to her and stalked across the room. In two strides she closed the distance smashing the chair into the glass when it bounced off she drew back and slammed into it again this time hearing it crack but not shatter.
"What are you doing here, come to stare at me like some exhibit in a zoo?!" She didn't know if they could hear her but the hurt expression on her friends face told her that they could. There were people rushing to the room she could see them behind her friends. 'Let them come' she thought darkly ready to hit the glass again. She didn't get the chance as she felt the chair being pried from her hands as others went to her shoulders. Throwing them off she glared at the people who were trying to restrain her. Getting those annoying people out of her way she began throwing her body at the glass, at her screaming friends on the other side. Her fragile body pounded at the glass, it was thicker then she thought. She was sure that she could have made it out of the door but she wanted the satisfaction that would only come when she shattered that glass.
A pair of hands closed around her shoulder but even with the power that her anger had given her she couldn't seam to shake them off. Turning, she saw it was one of the securities that had been called in.
"Get the sedative ready and have the restraints on the bed right now!" He yelled at the other people in the room his attention still focused on the girl he held in his iron grip.
"Let go of me!" she began beating on his chest trying to wiggle out of his grasp.
"You hear her she said to let go of her." The voice was low and menacing it was the only warning there was before the security went slamming into the wall. "Don't you ever dear to lay a hand on her again." His voice was a snarl as he looked down at the other man. The truth was that Ryou was somewhat thankful that the man was trying to restrain Anzu who was on the verge of hurting herself.
"Nineteen days. My god nineteen days..." the words escaped her in an anguished whisper torn from her throat as it had closed up to try and prevent her from talking.
Dr. Taisuki watched heart broken as the young couple embraced on the floor. The girl was shaking while the boy held her to him like he was afraid to let go. But it was the tone in her voice as she said those words that hurt the most. He realized that his coworkers were making their way to the couple with the sedative and restraints.
"You come near her with those things and I swear I will send you to the shadow realm." The words were calm yet threatening. There was a serious in his voice that made them shrink back. Something in Ryou's eyes told them that he was more then capable of carrying out his words, even though they didn't know what the "shadow realm" is.
After much convincing, the fallen girl was given permission to leave the hospital to live the rest of her days however she wishes to.
Nineteen days is all she has; and in these nineteen days, Ryou has sworn to make them her best.

Kari- everyone dies.
Vaz1201andDemona- I'm glad that it's a sad story. And yes I will try to but more fluff and I'll make sure her days are good. Thanks for reading.
RamenII- yes, it does hurt. But sometimes pain feels so good; you don't have to cry out. Have you ever punched a wall before out of anger? Feels okay. I'm not asking you to try, but if you do, punch a mirror, it's funnier that way.
UltraAnimeFangurl2004- your parents kicked me out of the house when you were 16? Dude you are so lucky! Want to switch places?
