HEY GUYS! YAY! SECOND CHAPPIE!
…
Light filled my eyes as I slowly opened them, waking up to the beeping sounds of machines and talking people. I clenched my fists as I opened them, taking in my surroundings. A white room, machines, bed, TV… I was in a hospital…
'So I am alive, huh?...'
Tears escaped by eyes as last night's event reoccurred in my brain. Wails started to escape my throat as I hunched over. How was life going to be like now? Why wasn't I dead with my parents and friends? Why? Why did Sousuke do such a thing? Everything was why, why, why…
At that moment doctors and nurses came rushing into the room and offered me tissues. Behind them, a detective and a policemen trudged into the room where they took a seat on a stool next to my bed.
"Hello Momo! I'm constable Johnston and this is detective Kimberley! We're going to ask you a few questions and you have to answer them truthfully okay? You don't have to answer some if you don't want to! But we just want some truthful answers!"
I nodded in agreement. They were here anyway. What could I do?
"Did your parents abuse or harass you in any way?"
"No."
"Did you hold any grudges against your friends?"
"No."
"Where were you and what were you doing from 9am to 6pm?"
"Me and my friends went to the theme park after meeting at my house at 10am and arrived home at 6:30pm…"
"That gives us one hour in the morning. She would've stayed at her house until 10am."
One hour in the morning? What was that meant to mean?
"Okay. This is the last question. You look into my eyes and tell me straight on the truth. Did you kill everyone and start that fire?"
"Huh?"
"I'll repeat that question. Did you, Momo Hinamori, kill everyone and start that fire?"
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. Were they suspecting me? Why? Just because I was the only survivor of this massacre?
"Why?" Were the only words that escaped my mouth at that moment.
"Excuse me?"
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Momo-"
"NO! Are you suspecting that I killed everyone and burned my house down?"
"We're just checking! Now, you can answer the ques-"
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M LYING? WHAT MORE CAN THIS WORLDS TAKE FROM ME? I-"
I stopped short as I felt something sharp go into my arm. Everything turned black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dude! Shaddap! She's waking up!"
"She's kinda cute, huh?"
"I bet she heard that!"
"What? No way! She's still-"
"SHE'S AWAKE!"
I opened my eyes to find two boys around my age looking down upon me. I tried to get up but my head started to throb when I did.
"Urgh… what happened?"
"Dude! They had to give you sedatives!"
"Sedatives?"
I then recalled the sharp object going into my arm before passing out.
"Yea… so it was a sedative, huh?"
"ANYWAY! I'm Anthony and this is Bob!"
Anthony had chestnut brown hair and blue eyes while Bob had black hair and green eyes. The two then started to explain how they'd ended up in the hospital.
"And the dude behind me was like, "Wah!" and pushed me to keep his balance! Then I bumped into Bob! And then, Bob bumped into Toushiro! And we were all like, falling off the stairs! It was so funny!"
"Who's Toushiro?"
"Oh, he's another friend of ours! Anyway, Bob and I were like "HARHARHAR!" and Toushiro was like-"
"I was like, "How come I have to stay in the same room with two idiots and have the worst injury out of the three of us?""
We all turned around to see another figure standing in the doorway with his arms crossed. He had gravity-defying, white hair and striking turquoise eyes. Unlike Bob and Anthony, who only had broken arms, Toushiro had to use crutches. He first smirked at Anthony and Bob before turning to me.
"Who's the chick?"
"My name's not chick! It's Momo Hinamori!"
"Ah…" Toushiro's ignorance was getting VERY annoying that time until Bob asked me the question.
"So… why are you here?"
Everytime that something related to last night's events leaked into me, everything seemed to freeze. I felt sweat forming on my palms and tears creeping into my eyes, threatening to spill any moment.
"Oi! You shouldn't ask people random things after knowing them for less than an hour!" Anthony elbowed Bob in the ribcage.
"Are we sharing the room with her?" Toushiro's deep, icy voice seemed to grab my attention.
"Sharying?" I asked. I had NO IDEA that I was sharing my room!
"Well! Sharing is caring!" Anthony sang with an Elmo imitation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week passed and Anthony and Bob were sent home, leaving Toushiro and I. The police came at least once per two to three days and asked me more questions that poured tears down my cheeks.
"Are you sure your brother did this?"
I nodded my head, wiping the tears out of my eyes with my sleeve. I was so sick of this! Why couldn't they just leave me alone?
"Momo Hinamori, I'm afraid if you don't stop acting like this the doctors will give you more-"
Toushiro then got out from his bed on the other side of my room and hobbled over to where I was with the cops.
"Can I help you?" Detective Kimberley stopped lecturing me and turned to my roommate, his eyebrow lifted.
THWACK!
Toushiro's fist went flying across the man's face, making him fall out of his chair. Constable Johnson quickly grabbed the white-haired boy by his shoulders and held him back.
"It's not human. Momo's just lost her parents and she should be given time to mourn. Instead, you're suspecting her of killing her own family and friends and burning the house down when you didn't even walk in her shoes. I hate people like you. People like you should just die."
My eyes widened in surprise.
'Is he helping me?...'
"Johnson! Let go of him! We're leaving." Kimberley rubbed a red bruise on his cheek as he walked out the door with his workmate. Soon as they left, Toushiro fell to the floor and grunted.
"He has dislocated his shoulder! Quick!" A doctor came rushing to his aid. "That's what you get for punching someone!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A WEEK LATER…
Today was my leaving day. The day I left the hospital. The day my life alone began.
"Toushiro! You're going to be there to say goodbye, right?"
"Yea."
I was starting to become fond of this boy. I wasn't sure if it was just a simple crush or just a bond between friends and family but it was nice to feel this in my world of torment. The nurses helped me take my bags down to the courtyard where a bus waited to take me to Karakura town. I then spent nearly two hours saying goodbye to everyone in the hospital and checking that nothing was left behind. After everything was over, it was time to leave.
I was guided to a bus in the courtyard where I was expecting to see my roommate for last goodbyes but he wasn't there. I waited for twenty minutes but he didn't come.
'But he promised…'
Tears started to form in my eyes as the thought of 'He's not coming…' took over my mind. I got on the bus and took a seat next to a window at the front.
'He's not coming after all…'
The bus rumbled into motion and started off slowly when I heard a "thump, thump, thump" beside me. I turned around to see who it was. My eyes widened and the tears stopped. No way!
'Toushiro…'
He was hobbling along with the slow speed of the bus and looked like he was asking me to open the window. So I did. I knew it was unsafe to do so but I stuck my head out, which was where he suddenly dived in.
For a second, I couldn't believe this was happening but it was. His lips on mine. Stealing my first kiss. He then pulled out before handing me something. A necklace. It was half a heart with "ve you…" carved into it.
"Hey, young lady with the necklace! We're going to speed up now so it'd be nice if you could shut the window!" The bus driver called.
"Sorry!" I turned back to Toushiro. "See ya… sometime…"
He stopped hobbling in his crutches and waved me off as he got smaller and smaller in the distance…
