Keep Your Heart Broken
Chapter 8 Cold Confrontations
Enfolding your love in my heart
By the dawn I'll be gone
She didn't really love him after all.
Those words echoed through his head. His thoughts continued to rumble all around his mind, confusing him every moment of his life, but this time there was this thought that didn't, it was the only one among the others.
It was Love.
Those few words gave him a momentary freedom, a moment to lose all regrets, and a moment to finally be happy.He couldn't help but smile, his lips curved upward just a little but curved downward once more.
"Look Hyuuga..." she started,going back to her corner of the dark trap they were still in. " You can control your fate..but you can't control love." She continued after a big deep breath.
He couldn't utter another word. He was simply awestruck.
His hapiness and sadness banished...in just one second...and only left inside him a tingling feeling.
He finally remembered why he was here, why he left and came back.
He finally realized he wasn't the only one with the broken heart..
He stared at the scenery outside his window. He just remembered it was already winter, it was already November after all. He stared at the graceful ice crystals, which carefully fell to his window sill.
He looked at his hand, glaring at it furiously. When she finally needed him, he felt weak.
His head turned to the other side of the room, and stared at the bittersweet scene through the see-through Hospital curtains. His head suddenly felt a little pain maybe because of his constant moving, but continued to watch though.
Tsubasa Andou, gently carresed his Mikan Sakura. Giving every affectionate care to her sleeping body. Natsume just silently stared at her angelic face, her pale lips still seemed cold. He then saw her left arm, covered up in bandage and couldn't help but reminisce about what happened back there.
Days pass by like the wind,
and this life is too short...
She stared at him, her gaze going blurry, as she felt immense pain in her left arm. She tried to touch it and felt something liquid,a lot of liquid coming out for the matter.
She dared not look, but her body told her that if she didn't do anything else she would surely die.
She gripped her arm tighter hoping to lessen the pain but because of this, it got worse.
She closed her eyes, keeping her screams to herself. She looked at the other and saw he was only staring and dared not move.
"T-tsubasa?" she asked her boyfriend sitting up, who just returned a big smile of relief.
"Are you alright?"He asked tucking those annoying stray hair behind her ear.
"Thanks a lot Tsubasa...for saving me." she said and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
She turned away, feeling more immense pain than the one from her arm. She didn't care anymore and just cried her eyes out.
She tried standing up, looking for any pain reliever and started walking slowly. She looked around then finally saw not relief but the cause of her pain, it was a rusted metal scrap.
She stared at the red pigment that had dried up by now.
She was shocked. One thought directly came to her mind.
"I'm gonna die." she whispered and fell down senseless.
A nurse casually walked in, greeting them a good morning, and directly went to the bed beside her which was surrounded by a curtain.
The brunette, curious to who her room mate is,eavesdropped.
"Mr. Hyuuga, we are sorry for the inconvinience. We are kinda lacking of rooms right now, sir. There are a lot of students who are getting sick because of the weather you see." The nurse explained in a sincere tone.
"Whatever." He stated coldly.
Mikan was more than shocked. She was going to be alone with Natsume Hyuuga and she can't do anything about it.
"Would you like to be assigned to another room? We will try our best to get you one." The nurse asked.
There was a long silence.
"Mikan?" a voice interupted. The girl turned her head to the other and found him looking at her weirdly.
" What are you doing?" He asked.
"No." Natsume's sudden refusal to the nurse echoed through the room. The confused girl couldn't help but turn her head once more.
Not to her boyfriend but back to him.
It makes no sense to give in,
to release you from my thoughts
Luckily, she didn't hit the floor, he caught her once more and again she didn't know that.
He carried her to the corner and layed her comfortably on the floor. Her head carefully laid on his thigh.
A long silence enveloped the small place.
He stared at her sleeping figure, her angelic face. He removed the stray hairs on her face and gently carresed her face. Her body unconscioulsy shaking under his touch. He badly wanted more than to touch her like this but---
then he finally realized that she was bleeding.
He quickly tore his uniform's sleeve and carefully wrapped it around her arm. It wasn't that serious.
"The idiotic girl overreacted again." He whispered with a small smile.
With that said, fate ensnared them in his cruel hands once more.
There was a sudden shattering sound, slow seismic waves travelled through their place of entrapment. He stood up, the young teen still in his arms. Looking for any cause of such waves. Soon there was slow rolling pebbles, which only meant one thing.
"Shit! Everything is falling!" He exclaimed.
"Are you sure, sir?" The nurse asked the black cat again, shaking out of fear.
" Yes." He stated with such venom, that the nurse nervously left the room.
"Hyuuga, you shouldn't have scared the poor nurse." She told the other, opening his curtains to show herself.
"Why shouldn't have I?" He answered back.
"Because!" was all she could utter, suddenly feeling a dizzy sensation.
"Ok Mikan! You also shouldn't be standing." Tsubasa interupted, not wanting anymore to come from their fight.
"Ok." She answered back not before glaring at the other and then readied her bed.
" Alright, I'll be going now. I'll come back first thing tomorrow." He said.
" Thanks again tsubasa for saving me." She whispered then bid goodbye.
He looked around. He can't see anything, everything was dark, there was no exit.
" Damn it!" He cursed again not having any more options. He covered the girl's figure with his body like he did before.
His back receiving immense pain. After a few seconds, the dust cleared out, and the falling rocks stopped.
He felt weak, he got off her and lied on the other side. Breathing in and out and carefully watched the other through half closed lids.
He turned his head, and stared at the ceiling ready for exaustion to take over.
Suddenly. there was the cracking sound once more. His eyes snapped open. There was a large boulder falling straight for Mikan. He tried to stand up, but his body won't work.
He stared at the boulder and desperately tried to move. But he failed, the only thing he was able to reach was her arm and nothing else. He desperately tried to pull her with his hand but he was too fatigued.
He couldn't move. He just looked as the boulder slowly cracked and made its way to hit Mikan.
There was an awkward silence that filled the hospital room. Alcohol and the smell of medicine filling their nostrils while they kept still.
Natsume just stared at the window, refusing to talk. Mikan just quietly watched the ceiling, finding its white paint interesting.
"Why'd you refuse the nurse?" She asked not looking at him.
"Why? You don't want me here?" He asked back, his gaze focused on the piling up snow on his window sill.
"Maybe." She just stated casually.
"Whatever." with that said, they both readied for bed. Natsume already half way asleep. Mikan just continued to linger on his answer.
"Hyuuga?" she asked, wondering if he was still awake.
"Hn." The other replied lazily turning to the girl.
"Thanks for saving me."
A light suddenly filled the room. A voice screamed her name. And from the light he came, and grabbed Mikan away from peril.
Taking her hand away from him.
He couldn't do anything he just closed his eyes, refusing any tears, cause what he heard took all the power left in him.
" T-Tsubasa?" her shaky voice echoed through the place," You saved me again?"
He turned around, reconnecting his gaze with his window then said.
"I didn't save you. He did."
and he slept, ignoring everything else cause in the morning he's gone.
The road keeps us apart,
For some time I'll be gone...
The next morning, Mikan Sakura, gloomily stared at the vacant bed beside her.
Her room mate already left, and she didn't even know.
She couldn't help but feel sad,
and it's all because he was just too cold.
