~~~Chapter 1: Malls, Pins, and Tea Parties~~~~
Kouta's POV
It's been about an hour since Akihisa finally decided to leave and I haven't been able to sleep. I've been thinking about the accident ever since I got out of the emergency room. Every time I close my eyes I see the memory of me getting hit.
~~Flash Back~~
After Akihisa caught up to us we gladly started walking down the quickest route to the park. Somehow we all ended up in two lines with me in the middle up front. As we neared a crossroad and waited patiently at the corner, I continued fixing the settings on my camera so the sun wouldn't interfere. I glanced up to the light to see if we could go yet and coincidentally the light turned red so I waited until the sign said we could go and started walking out. Not soon after I stepped onto the street, I heard Minami scream.
"KOUTA LOOK OUT!" I turned around to see a red car screeching to a halt a few feet away with a worried driver inside. Before I could react the car hit me and sent me forward which caused me to black out for a while. Not too long after I blacked out I started coming to my senses. Someone was sobbing horribly next to me while squeezing my right hand. A few feet away I heard Yuuji talking on the phone sounding a bit shaken. I slowly open my eyes to see a female silhouette above me which seemed to be making the crying sounds. As my eyes adjust I see a beautiful girl with her maroon hair in a pony tail and her green eyes full of fear and worry. She looked absolutely distraught and I didn't know why. Suddenly I recognized her as Minami, but why was she so sad?
"M-minami? I want to make sure it's her because the way she looks now I'm not sure. She finally notices me being awake and squeezes my hand tighter. Now I'm really scared. Why is she so shaken? Her answer scared me even more.
"Yes, It's me a-are you okay where does it hurt the most." I mentally checked where I felt the most pain. My cheek and arm hurt a lot but it was nothing compared to excruciating pain in my right leg. I can't even move it. Why does it hurt so much, did I trip or something?
"M-my right leg hurts the most… w-why does it hurt so much?" I tried to act calm but it was hard with Minami so hysterical. I wish I could comfort her or something. She looked as if she'd pass out any second.
"Y-you got hit by a c-car." She said scaredly. My heart dropped. It all comes back as I remember walking out in the street without looking. I feel my eyes glaze over as I start shaking. I've never had anything like this happen before so I have no idea how to react.
"M-Minami, I'm s-scared." I say looking for comfort. I can tell this is her first emergency too because she is more hysterical than me. Yet she seems to know exactly what to say to keep me from hyperventilating.
"I-its okay Kouta j-just focus on me d-don't close your eyes okay." I'm too scared to form words so I just nod. Not long after were surrounded by sirens and flashing lights.
~~Present~~
That's all I remember before I passed out again. After allowing myself to relive the memory I feel my eyes drifting closed. At least I can finally get some sleep.
Minami's POV
My eyes flutter open to the first rays of daylight spilling into my room. I check the clock on my phone and see that its 10am. While I'm happy it's a weekend, I'm also sad because today I promised Hazuki that I'd play tea party with her.
I drag myself into a sitting position to be greeted with a horrible headache. I clench my head and lie back down to try and stop the throbbing. The memories of yesterday spill back into my head as realization hits. I cringe as I remember Kouta getting hit by the car. Once again I try to lift myself up, only at a slower pace to prevent my head from exploding.
I slowly walk to my bathroom and look in the mirror. I'm still in my uniform from the previous day and my hair is in a messy ponytail. I remove the bow and clothes and step into a warm shower that cures my headache. After that I brush my hair down and head back to my room where Hazuki is waiting with one of her stuffed animals.
"Good morning big sister. Are you ready to play Tea party with me?" she asked a little too peppy for ten in the morning. Knowing resistance was futile; I sigh and gesture for her to lead the way to her room.
Luckily Mom after about an hour Mom came in and took Hazuki to her new ballet class that she had been asking about for the past few months. After they both left I trudged back to my room and flopped onto my bed. After lying there for about 10 seconds my phone rang. I grumbled and answered without bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello?" I ask in my most un-angry-you-called voice.
"Hi minami, its Mizuki." The caller said in a sing-songy voice. I perk up a bit and flip onto my back, ready to talk to my best friend for hours.
"Hi Mizuki! Hows it going?" I ask to start a conversation.
"I'm good. I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the mall with me. To help take our minds off of things. I also invited Shouko so she wouldn't be left out. "She explained. I thought about what she said. Shopping would take our minds off of the accident.
"Okay. I'll meet you there at 12." I say.
"Alright, see you then." She said before she hung up. I checked the clock to see that it is 11:05. I quickly get up to get ready.
After about an hour I settled on a Blue tank top and skinny jeans. After putting my hair in my signature bow, I grabbed my phone and headed out the door while giving a quick goodbye to my dad. While walking to the bus stop I noticed that my neighbors were selling their house. It wasn't like I knew them very well, but Hazuki had grown quite fond of their daughter. It would be very sad for her to have to lose a friend but I guess they have their reasons.
After getting on the bus and reaching the mall I meet up with Shouko and we wait together for Mizuki. Shouko is wearing a yellow tank top with white floral patterns and a jean skirt. After waiting about five minutes Mizuki shows up panting and sweating profusely.
"Hey guys … sorry I'm late, "she says while continuing to pant heavily. She is wearing a light blue button down shirt with studded swirls and skinny jeans.
"No need to apologize, we weren't waiting too long" I tell her. When she catches her breathe we proceed to our shopping spree.
_Time skip _
After about an hour or so of shopping we collapse in the food court with all of us carrying at least six bags. "There goes my allowance" I sigh.
"But it was worth it right?" asked Mizuki. I nod slightly and lay my head on the back of the seat. Shouko then stands up.
"I'm going to go and get some food. Do you two want anything? She asked.
"I'll have a salad" Mizuki said.
"Just some water for me "I tell her. She nods slightly and walks off to go and get the food. Mizuki then starts rummaging through her bags and pulls out a pin of a pink lotus flower and hands it to me.
"Could you give this to Hazuki for me "she asks me. I nod and put it in the bag where The Shoes I got Hazuki are. When I sit back up in my chair I see Shouko walking towards us with two more people than she left with.
