A/N: Hi Everyone! I know I only posted Chapter 1 today but i couldn't resist posting chapter 2. Please leave reviews!
Beep. Beep. Beep. You hear the sound of some sort of monitor. You force your heavy eyelids to open. Hospital. You're in a hospital room. Then a nurse walks towards your bed.
"Sorry Miss Okumura, your drip got disconnected" she turned to a tall monitor and presses some buttons.
"I'll be back in a few minutes with your next dose of medication" you nod and she walks off. As you fully wake up you start to remember what happened. Right, the firefighter was falling towards you. Talking of the firefighter, he was lying in the bed next to you. He didn't look awake. He was actually really cute. You didn't get a good look at him before now. He has dark green hair. He is also really tall. You couldn't help but notice his upper body muscles. You start to look around the room. The time was 6:45pm. 26th of October was written on what looks likes a calendar. Wait what? Last time you checked it was the 24th. You look at a folder siting on the table next to your bed. It said you have some sort of fracture in your spine. You also have something wrong with your leg but you don't understand what kind of injury it is.
"Arhh" you hear a low tone scream. You turn to the firefighter. He's wide awake. The nurse came running in.
"Is everything alright?!" Said the nurse with a uneasy look on her face.
"Yeah, sorry I just woke up" said the firefighter with a sleepy expression.
"People often have a traumatic wake after going under anaesthetics" the nurse stated.
"Anaesthetics?" He said looking very confused.
"Yes, sir. Ms Okumura and yourself went through surgery"
"Ms Okumura?" He turned to me. Then a look of guilt washed over him. Then the nurse came over and gave me a tray. It had 3 little pills on it. Two green and one orange. There was also a jug of water and a empty glass. She poured the water into the glass.
"Thank you" I said in a horse voice.
"You're welcome. I will be back with your medications Mr Makoto" after she left the room a gloom of silence poured into it. Then Makoto started speaking.
"I'm am so terribly sorry Ms Okumura, I beg for your forgiveness" he said very apologetically while trying to bow towards me.
"It's ok"
"No it isn't. I'm so so sorry. I should have warned you sooner before falling on you. If I warned you it would be only me sitting here"
"No really it's ok. I should have moved away from the fire anyway. Besides you would have been alone" I said to cheer him up. I gave him a smile. He seemed genuinely sorry and he had a real kindness to him. He then gave me awkward but cute smile. I looked at a table in the room. It had my backpack and groceries on it along with a firefighter uniform and helmet.
"Oh by the way my name is Tachibana Makato" he said nervously.
"Okumura Jade"
"Nice to meet you" he said giving a small wave.
"Nice to meet you too. Thank you for saving the little boys life"
"No, I should be thanking you. Without you I would have let go and I don't know what would've happened to the boy" I gave him a smile.
"So according to this medical record I have to be here for at least two weeks" he leaned over to his own medial binder.
"Me too"
"Looks like we will be roommates till then"
"Haha yeah" he said smiling. I decided to ask him about himself.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 26, you?"
"I'm 24" I responded.
"What do you do? You know as a job?"
"I'm a manga artist"
"Oh really? That's incredible"
"Not really"
"Yes it is, you are very brave to be taking that career path. What do you like to draw?"
"Action mostly, but my writer has been doing a lot of romance lately" oh! Your best friend Kai doesn't know what's going on. I should call him
"I'm sorry but you don't really look Japanese. Are you from a foreign country?"
"Yes actually, I'm from the United Kingdom. I changed my last name because I really loved the Japanese culture. And that's why I moved here, to pursue a manga career"
"But your Japanese is so fluent"
"I studied it from the age of 7"
"Wow that amazing, so your fluent in English too?"
"Yep"
"Wow, I know a little bit of English but no where near fluent" he laughed and I laughed with him. The nurse came back in carrying a tray identical to mine. He placed it on Makoto's side table.
"If you have both read your medical records, you'll know that you two both have to have a stay here for at least two weeks. Mr Makoto your walking around has to be limited to one hour and Ms Okumura because your injuries are sustained to your back you cannot walk until your doctor has instructed you to do otherwise" Makoto has a guilty look again.
"Also if you like you both can be moved to private rooms, but if you would like to stay together that is also ok" we both looked at each other.
"I'm ok staying here, if you're ok with it" i asked Makoto. I didn't want to leave him because I didn't want to be alone. I have no family here so I would get lonely. Plus I kinda like him.
"Of course" he said with a huge smile.
"Ok, I will be back in 30 minutes with a meal" we both said thank you and then she left.
"Thank you Makoto for staying here"
"It's no problem"
"It's just that I don't have any family here"
"Oh that's rough, I only have my sister that lives in Japan but she lives far away"
"Oh so similar to me, all of my family live in the UK except my brother who is graphic designing in America" after that Makoto got up to go to the bathroom.
"Do you need anything?"
"Could you pass me my phone, if it's not to much trouble"
"Sure" he walked up to your backpack.
"It's in the front" he opened the front zip and grabbed my phone with earphones wrapped around it. He passed it to me.
"Thanks"
"No worries" as he walked away you notices bandages up his right knew and thigh. That's probably where he hit the hardest when he fell. He walked dint other bathroom and closed the door. You open your phone. Four missed calls and one text message unanswered. They were all from Kai. You picked up the phone and dialled Kai's number...
