A Bitter Pill With Stars That Thrill

by I'll Break Your Heart

"Promises"-Dying in a hospital was a fate that Shiki had unwillingly accepted. Robbed of her life, even the stars can't offer her happiness. Yet sometimes, the "stars" have different plans for the living...Drabbles about life, death, and Neku/Shiki

8. I Wish

"I Wish..."

Instantly, Shiki's hands were clamped together in a prayer like motion. "I wish-!" She began, but stopped herself.

What was she supposed to wish for? In fact, what use would it be to waste a lucky-to-even-be-seen star on…herself?

What would be the point of that? She would make a wish…and then what? Nothing would really change and if it did….

Would getting out of this room…Getting out of this hospital back into the real world, really worth it?

The real world, which would criticize even the tiniest detail out of place, which would judge based on appearances….

Would she be able to stand up to that? After all,

Hospital patients were nothing but a lost cause.

"I wish…." Shiki said, in a much meeker voice. "I wish…I wish that…." She sighed.

"I wish that Eri will become a successful fashion designer," she finally said, in a defeated sounding voice.

She closed her eyes.
