The Mistake of a lifetime chapter 2
I woke up the next morning with a groan. I check my desk clock. 12:43pm time to rise I slowly rose out of bed and winced as my feet touched the cold floor. I streached and yawned.
"Maya! Are you up yet?" I heard my mother call.
I quickly changed into a tank top and shorts. I reached for my phone which is usually on the desk but found nothing but air. And then it dawned on me. It wasn't a dream, it was real. I was really attacked, I really escaped death. I remembered dropping my phone and running and worse ,breaking up with Yori. My heart pounded and I almost fainted when I heard mother call again.
"Maya get up! I need you to run to the store!" I jerked out of my trance and ran to the banister. I leaped down the steps into the little kitchen.
"hey mom" I called.
"here's the money we need strawberries and milk," she pushed the money into my hand.
"okay, I dropped my phone from..last night and I need to get it," I said twirling my hair nervously.
"yea, okay. Becareful, i'm serious!" she waved me off and I quickly slipped on my shoes and headed out the door. It just rained, the air was warm and smelled fresh. Dark gray clouds still threatened to rain again as bounced down the steps. I looked behind me to make
sure no one was there. I did a jog to the grocery store a few blocks down the hill. I slowed down as I fell some drops of rain hit my head and leave a wet trail to my nose. I wiped it away and looked up at the sky. It was beginning to rain again. Wet mist came down soaking my brown hair and tank top. I started to rub as fast as I could to the store. I lifted my arm and ducked my head into it blocking the rain from my face.
"hey there hot stuff," came a deep voice. My blood froze. It sounded so familiar,yet unknown. I turned to see a man with same black leather jacket i've seen. He was wearing a blue hat the covered half his face. Black hair stuck out of the hat in all directions...like Yori's hair.
"who the hell are you? Yori?" I asked. My heart pounded hard against my chest, it felt like it was going to burst out. He flicked his head up and down really fast and I caught a glimpse of his eyes. Blue clear eyes...like Yori's. Oh my god, it's him my mind twirled. I barely reacted as he charged me. I got out of the way just im time to run across the street and down towards the store.
"my, my what long brown hair you have" the man said. Yori adored my hair. I tripped on the sidewalk and fell. My head hit the sidewalk and lost all consciousness, the last thing I saw was the man striding across the street towards me with a twisted grin...
I woke up in a white room. I jerked upwards and felt a rush of pain to my head.
"don't get up to fast honey," I heard my mom call from beside me. I slunked back down to the bed and looked at my mom. Her cheeks were tear stained and pale. She was obviously worried about me. Her hair was a tangled brown mess. her clothes disheaveled, and raggedy.
"mama, what happened? I was running, fast, from... can't remember," I groaned and rubbed my head. It throbbed with pain.
"baby, you have a concussion. You...you fell on the sidewalk and Yori told me and we got you here. Your father was using the car so we brought you here in Yori's" my mom finished. My eyes widened and I froze. It was Yori who was there trying to kill me! Why did he help me too? Could it be he still loves me? I can't tell mom she will only worry.
"mom, I just wanna go home I wanna go home!" I yelled ignoring the pain it caused me.
"i'm sorry baby, you can't you need to be here overnight. I must go, your father is at home," she got up to leave but I stopped her.
"Mom, please don't go. Don't leave me here! I can't stand it!" I cried tears into my pillow.
"i'm sorry baby but they ain't letting me stay, I promise i'll come first thing in the morning" she looked at me with tired eyes and left. After the door closed I screamed a blood curdling cry. I screamed for myself, the pain of the concussion. I screamed for Yori and how much pain he may have caused me or I caused him. He mad my mom think im useless. He made her think I need extra protecting. I hate YORI. I yelled until three men came into the room and held down my arms and leg while a woman stuck a needle into my skin. My world then went dark and meaningless.
" Miss Hasagiwa, Miss Hasagiwa, please get up!" my eyes blinked and opened. The blinds were open and the sky was clear with some clouds. I moved my head a little and saw the clock. It read 8:56pm. My eyes shot open. Where's mom? She should have been here 12 hours ago!
"mom, mom" I mumbled.
"yes Miss Hasagiwa, that is who I want to talk to you about," a feminine voice spoke. I looked over at her. She looked like a social worker or a lawyer in her blue blazer and skirt. I sat up higher and leaned against the wall. My mind beggan racing
"what, what's wrong? Where is she?" I asked quickly. The woman had blonde hair and grey eyes. She looked somber yet cheerful.
"hi, my name is Sakura Matsuo. I'm a social worker and i'm so sorry, your mother Ren Hasagiwa? She perished in a car accident this morning. She ran a stop sign and a truck ran into her side and killed her,"
I began to breathe heavilly sweat coming from my neck and forehead. Tears brimmed my eyes daring to spill. My throat was dry and rough. I let out a cry and brought my face to lap.
"IT'S ALL HIS FAULT! IF HE DIDN'T MAKE ME TRIP I WOULDN'T HAVE FELL AND BE IN HERE! THEN SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME!" I cried into my lap drowning out the questions Sakura asked. I have to get home, no, I have to find Yori! I stumbled out of bed and ignored Sakura holding me back. I whipped around and punched her in the jaw. She fell down with a shriek and I stumbled out the door. Outside was busy, but no one noticed me as I walked out of the hospital.
