"Another Love Story"
Chapter 12
Amu POV
It's been about a week and a half since I moved to Hong Kong. Everything has been going pretty great for the most part. My new family is very kind and helps me in any way they can, I am just so grateful they took me in. I'm also especially happy to be back with Rima and go to school with her.
School, to my utter amazement, is actually pretty awesome. I've met a lot of people and made another best friend, aside from Rima. Her name was Yuiki Yaya, the first time Rima introduced us she insisted I call her Yaya-chan. Yaya is one of Rima's best friends here in Hong Kong. Yaya is super cute and bubbly; she is a very carefree person who always has a grin plastered on her face. Even though she is a senior like Rima and I, she acts like a baby. Fortunately for her it just makes her look even cuter.
I really enjoy the things I am learning here in my new school as well, but since I came into the school year late, I'm kind of behind in the work. Thankfully Rima and Yaya help me with my studies. They taught me a lot of short cuts and are managing to catch me up with the class. I never thought school would be this fun, but with my fiends helping me and the fact that I will be graduating in a few months I am overjoyed.
The only thing that hasn't been to grate is that I must have caught a stomach bug on my way from Japan. The past few days, I haven't been able to keep my food down. This totally sucks when you live in a house with a gourmet chef, because all the food smells fabulous. Well, except for the other day when I had that omelet for breakfast. It just smelt horrible. I all but tossed it in the trash it smelts so bad. So whatever sickness I have, I hope it goes away soon so I can get back to eating all that tasty food.
Rima's been worried and keeps asking me if I am okay, but I keep telling her that I am fine and that it is just a bug that will pass. Besides, it's probably because the sudden change of surroundings and drinking different water. I hear that when you drink water from another country it can make you sick for a bit until you get used to it.
By the end of the week I was starting to feel a whole lot better. I didn't feel sick at all; the only thing wrong was that Rima had to drag my sorry butt out of bed just so we'd make it to school in time. Rima had offered to take me to doctors on our way to school but I told her no because I am feeling better. William stopped the car in front of the school gates and opened the door for Rima and I, we mumbled a short thanks before we quickly made our way into the school.
Upon entering the building, Yaya tackled me to the ground once she saw us walking in through the schools front entrance. After getting off of me Yaya went to gently hug Rima, where as I nearly died from her death grip. Sure she was small but she has some crazy strength in those arms of hers, she could easily kill people by hugging them. 'It must be the ballet classes she's in.' I thought to myself, shaking my head in amusement.
Rima, Yaya and I were talking about the upcoming picture day our school was having while we walked to our first class; homeroom. We sat in our usual spots, in the back of class where it was the furthest from the teachers' desk, and chatted some more until the bell rang.
I love how most of the students run into the class room just moments before our teacher arrives. 'You'd think that they would talk in the class room. They make it seem like a horrible thing to be on time.' I thought to myself while I got out my things for class. After getting out my pencil I looked up just in time to see our teacher walk in the room carrying her lesson planner.
"Good morning class!" The teacher greeted us in a cheery voice, and we greeted her back. Ms. Lin was a great homeroom teacher; she is by far my favorite teacher here at this school. She is my literature teacher, but what makes her special then most is the way she teaches. She teaches in an interesting way that makes literature easier to study.
Class started and I was instantly hooked by Ms. Lin's thoughts on the book we are all currently reading, the catcher and the rye. As she spoke, I took some notes and kept my attention on her explanation as to why you shouldn't take for granted the things we have like Mr. Holden did in the book. I was enjoying her class so much that I didn't realize how fast the class went by. Before I knew it Ms. Lin was handing out our homework assignments and the bell was ringing indicated that the class was over. Ms. Lin bid us all goodbye before we walked out of the class room followed by some other students.
While I put some of my books in my locker and gathered up my art supplies, Rima and Yaya waited patiently beside me. When I was finished, we went our separate ways, Rima and I went to our art class while Yaya went to her Spanish class.
When we reached the art room Rima and I settled down in our chairs and we started to take out our art supplies. We were discussing the difference between purple and violet when the bell rang and our teacher, Mr. Mitsukuni, walked in the room.
"Well class it is a beautiful day for art, so we will be going outside today. So gather up your pencils, colored pencils, sketch pads and follow me out. Rima and I did as we were told and gathered our things to follow our teacher. Our teacher took us to the back of the school where the gardeners club had their mini garden of Eden. It was the prettiest garden I'd ever seen. Just the smell of the different flowers made me a little dizzy; it was a beautiful toxic smell indeed. Mr. Mitsukuni called our attention and gave us our assignment. We were to pick a flower in the garden, sketch it out and then color it. He told us it also had to be finished by the end of class, so Rima and I got busy and started to sketch out a rose and a tulip that were in the same garden section.
Unfortunately, half way through our art class I had to take a little break. My head was starting to hurt a bit, but I got over it quickly and set to work again and ignored the headache that made it hard to concentrate. 'It must be from focusing so much on one thing.' I thought to myself as I finished up my sketch of a deep red rose.
The day must have been flying by fast because it was already lunch time. Rima and I made our way to the cafeteria to wait by the doors for Yaya to get there. When she arrived the three of us got in the lunch line and waited our turn to order.
When it was our turn, I picked up a tray and set a slice of pizza, an apple and chocolate milk on my tray and took it to the front to pay. Then Yaya and Rima got their food, and the three of us made out way to an empty table in the back of the lunch room.
While eating our food, we talked a bit — mostly Yaya, who keeps talking about a boy in her class who fluently speaks Spanish and how much she liked him. After a few threats from Rima, we finally convinced her to introduce us to him. She agreed she would the next time she saw him while with us.
I was finishing up my pizza while Rima was telling Yaya about our art assignment, when a sudden wave of nausea washed over me. I dropped my half eaten pizza on my plate and clamped my hand over my mouth to keep from vomiting in front of everyone. Rima looked back my way ask me something but I was already running out of the cafeteria and to the girls bathroom before she had the chance.
I barely made it to the bathroom in time before I emptied my lunch into one of the toilets. The taste was just awful. Pizza may taste awesome going down, but coming back up was another story. I was just vomiting for a second time when I heard Rima and Yaya call me from outside the bathroom stall. "Amu-chan, um are you okay? Do you need Yaya to get the nurse?" Yaya asked nervously. I didn't answer her though; I was too busy trying not to get sick for a third time. Rima was not happy about this and opened the stall door. She gasped at my appearance. I was sitting slumped against the toilet, with one hand holding my hair back so as to not get vomit in it.
I felt another urge to through up hit me and I quickly turned back to the toilet, Rima sighed and replaced my hand around my hair with her own. While I was getting sick Yaya came up behind me and slowly rubbed circles on my back to help sooth me. I feel awful. It felt like acid was burning my throat and my stomach was doing flips.
When I was finally finished and I had nothing left in my stomach to through up, I weakly stood up and walked to the sink. I rinsed my mouth out with cold water and wiped my face that was now flushed. I gripped the sides of the sink and looked up into the mirror in front of me.' God, I look horrible.' I thought to myself, trying to fix my messed up hair. When I was finished re clipping my X shaped clip in my hair, Rima and Yaya looked at me with worried glances.
"I'm fine guys, okay. It must be for the pizza I just ate. It was pretty greasy so it must have upset my stomach." I said in a voice that I hope sounded convincing. Rima just shook her head and said, "No Amu. You are not okay. You have been feeling sick all week. So either you let me take you to the doctor after school or I am telling mom and dad and I'll just have them take you. The choice is yours. Me or them?" Rima said in a determined voice that said don't test me. I just sighed and agreed to let her take me after school. If it would make her happy and not cause mom and dad trouble then I'd go.
The three of us were startled by the sound of the bell signaling that lunch was over and it was time for class again. The girls and I quickly ran back into the lunch room, picked up our things and ran back to our class rooms.
I was with Yaya in our math class while Rima had another class, the bubble girl kept going on and on about the boy in her Spanish class. All the talk of him made me a bit more curious about this mystery guy. She had promised Rima and me that she would introduce us to him later; well I hope that day is soon so I can put a face to the conversations. Our next class was a bit boring but it flew by faster then it started.
Now Rima, Yaya and I are in our last class of the day together, Science. The teacher began her lecture but I paid no attention to her. Instead I scribbled randomly on some blank paper that was in front of me. 'I don't understand why it's always the last period that goes by agonizingly slow.' I thought as I was looking at the clock, watching the hand slowly tick towards the number two.
Finally, our last bell rang and it was time to go home, well the doctors in my case. I headed to my locker and started packing my things. When I finished I walked over to Yaya's locker to find Rima waiting on her. Once Yaya finished packing away what had to be her third bag of candy that day, three of us stormed out of the school. Rima and I bid our good bye to Yaya and headed to our awaiting car at the gate entrance, while Yaya went to her own car.
Upon entering the car, Rima instructed William, the driver, to drive us to the nearest hospital. After explaining that Amu didn't feel well, the driver nodded and complied to Rima's wishes and started to drive us to the nearest hospital.
The drive to the hospital was short but it had my nerves in a twist. As I have told you before, I really do hate hospitals. But there was nothing I could do to change Rima's mind about taking me to get checked out.
When we pulled up in front of the ER, Rima and I hopped out of the car and walked into the building. We had to come to the ER because we didn't make a doctor's Appointment. Rima helped me sign in and we went to sit in a chair, waiting our turn to be seen. When it was finally our turn to be called we went into a back room where a nurse dressed in really cute puppy scrubs took my temperature, weight and blood pressure. While I was having all this done she asked me what some of my symptoms were. As I told her what was wrong, she was speedily typing away on the computer, probably writing what I was saying down. When the nurse finished with us, she escorted me to another room with a hospital bed and a curtain around it for privacy. She asked me to have a seat, telling me the doctor would be with me shortly. But before she left, she handed me a bunch of forms to fill out.
Rima Finished filling out the information for me, to afraid I'd lie about what was wrong with me. After what felt like hours later, the doctor walked in carrying in a small laptop. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Rima and me before saying in a friendly voice, "Hi there, I'm Dr. Ootori." He stuck his hand out and I shook it politely.
"My name is Amu Hinamori and this is my Friend, Rima. It's nice to meet you." I said, sitting up so I could fully look at the man. He had short jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes that were hidden behind silver rimmed glasses. He in my opinion was way too handsome to be a doctor, but who was I to judge.
"What seems to be the problem Ms. Hinamori? Dr. Ootori asked nicely. I sighed deeply and glanced over at Rima who was looking at me with eye that screamed, 'you better cooperate'. I turned back to the handsome doctor and began to reveal how I was really feeling.
"I have been feeling pretty sick for the past days." I answered her. Dr. Ootori nodded his head and I continued. "At first I was having a few small headaches, and then it was headaches and nausea. I haven't really been able to keep food down. I thought it may have just been my period coming because my breast started feeling really sore, but my period didn't really come. I mean it came but it was light spotting. It only lasted maybe two days max and even after I still felt sick." I explained to the doctor as he took some notes on his laptop.
When he finished typing he looked up with a smile. "Okay, now I have a few questions for you. I need you to try to be exact as possible when answering, okay?" he asked kindly. I nodded my head and listened. "Okay, first when was the last day of your menstrual cycle?" he asked happily. I blushed a bit but replied, "Um about two days ago I guess, but it was so light I wouldn't really call it a period." he just nodded and continued with his questions. " Amu, are you currently sexually active?" he asked with a straight face, as if asking something like that was no big deal. 'How can he ask that with a straight face?!' I thought to myself with a deep blush showing on my face. Not trusting my voice, I just nodded quickly.
After a few more questions about my symptoms, Dr, Ootori told me he was going to have one of the nurses draw some blood to do some tests, and then he'd be back to talk with me.
Moments later a nurse came in and took some blood. After she labeled my blood she turned to me and asked me to follow her. I looked over at Rima who quickly asked, "where are you taking her?" the nurse smiled at Rima's protectiveness and said she has to do some ultrasound work on me. I was a little confused as to why I needed ultrasound work done. 'Oh god, watch me have some crazy sickness that is going to kill me!' I thought to myself. I could already feel my heart pounding in my chest.
'The nurse led me into a room that had a clean paper covered bed in the middle of it, and next to it was a machine that I could only assume was the ultrasound computer. The nurse asked me to lie down; I complied and lay down on the hard bed. The nurse asked me to lift up my shirt a bit; when I did she squirted some cold blue gel on my lower abdomen. She then took some wand type thing and pressed it against my stomach. As she moved the want around, a gray image showed up on the screen. I had no idea what I was looking at so I kind of just laid there and let the nurse do her work. The only thing that worried me was the concerned face she was making as she moved the wand around.
When we were finished, the nurse handed me some paper towels to wipe the blue gel of, and then lead me back to my original room where I found a worried Rima waiting. Once the nurse left Rima started her interrogation. "So what was the ultrasound for?" I just shrugged and said, "I have no clue. I didn't even know what she was looking for. All I know is that she was looking awfully concerned." I sighed and sat back down on the hospital bed and just chatted with Rima until the door opened again.
Dr. Ootori walked in with a blank expression on his face. This makes me even more nervous then I already was. He took a seat and for a moment he took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. Rima not liking this action one bit asked, "Dr. Ootori is everything alright? Amu is okay right?" panic slowly starting to seep in her voice.
The doctor put his glasses back on and looked at me with a sad smile. I looked at him with worry in my eyes. "Amu, I had the nurses take some blood to check and make sure you didn't have any major sicknesses, but your blood test showed a surprising result. It seems you are pregnant Ms. Hinamori."
As soon as those words left the doctors mouth I could feel the walls of the room enclosing around me, but I didn't even have time to think about that because the doctor continued, "I would normally say a congratulation is in order but…" he trailed off, but I couldn't handle that. "But what?" I tried to say, but it came out as a whisper.
Dr. Ootori sighed heavily and said in a sad voice, "The ultrasound showed that you have some damaged scar tissue around the uterine wall. I am not sure how you got such scars but I am suspired you are pregnant at all. With the damage that was done it should have been very hard for you to get pregnant. You are about a month along now, and… with what I can tell; it may be hard if not impossible for you to carry your baby fast the first trimester." He said in a very sad and sympathetic voice. At that very moment I felt my world split in two. It was to mush to handle, and my vision slowly faced to black. The last think I remember thinking were three things.
Pregnant, Damaged Uterine wall and Baby won't make it.
