~~~~~~~Chapter 3: Clouds, Crutches, and aliens on Unicycles~~~~~~~
Mizuki's POV
As Shouko approaches us we immediately recognize the two people as Akihisa and Yuuji. Akihisa is wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans while Yuuji is wearing a black V-neck and cargo pants When they reach the table, Shouko hands me my salad and Minami her water. For herself she had gotten a strawberry smoothie and a pretzel. Yuuji also has a pretzel and Akihisa has nothing.
"Hey guys" Yuuji says while Akihisa waves while flashing his adorable smile. I wave happily and return the smile simultaneously with Minami as shes drinking her water. The guys and Shouko sit down next to us with me, Yuuji, and Minami on one side and Shouko and Akihisa on the other. As we open our food I can't stop smiling at our luck for running into the guys, especially at the mall.
When we finish our lunch we stay at the table for a while and talk about random topics until about 4:00 when we decide to leave. We walk out of the mall together and walk to a local playground. Minami and I sit on the swings and swing our selves lightly as Yuuji finds a bench and lays down on it with both hands behind his head. Shouko sits in the small space Yuji didn't take up and Akihisa sits on an unoccupied bench. While swinging Minami and I take turns guessing the shapes of clouds. Eventually the others join in and we are all looking up at a cloud that I thought looked like a rabbit but everyone else thought it was an hourglass. As we are debating over the shape a new voice joins the conversation and I immediately recognize it as Hideyoshi.
"It's a bunny," he says which startles me.
"That's what I said!" I say cheerfully.
"I still think it's an hourglass" says Minami as she pouts. I giggle lightly while getting up and walking over to the grass and lying on my back to get a better view of the clouds. Not too much later Minami and Hideyoshi join me along with Akihisa, Shouko, and Yuuji not too far behind. We all lay together while staring at the sun plunge into the horizon and the clouds fade into a pinkish color. I suddenly feel a bit guilty when I realize that while we watch this beautiful sunset, Kouta is stuck in a hospital bed. I hope he's not too bored.
"That one looks like a puppy" Akihisa says as he points to a canine shaped cloud. As the sun went down they each pointed to clouds and matched them with shapes they think are similar to them. These guesses ranging to a teddy bear to an alien on a unicycle.
(Kouta's POV)
I slowly open my eyes to see a blinding light and quickly shut them again as the light burns my eyes. After a few seconds I slowly flutter them open again as they adjust to the morning sunlight. I start to sit up but wince as a sharp pain stabs my abdomen. I looked down to see that it is wrapped up in tight bandages along with my leg which was being held up by a sling attached to the ceiling. I look around the room confused as to why I'm in a hospital and finally remember the events of yesterday and being haunted by horrible nightmares about the accident. While I'm thinking the door slowly opens and my parents walk in with my dad carrying a small backpack. My mom sees that I'm sitting up and quickly walks/jogs over to me and traps me in a 'Mama bear hug'. I flinch and she lessens her grip while I wrap my arms around her too. Out of the corner of my eye I see Dad put down the pack in a chair and join in on the hug. We stayed like that for a while until they let go and looked at me. I could tell mom was on the verge of tears and Dad was smiling slightly.
"We were so worried" she said with her voice cracking. I could feel my heart clench as a single tear went down her face. I felt a tear slide down my face too. She hugs me again as dad smiles a little.
"You too look so alike it's scary" he says while chuckling slightly. I heard my stifle a laugh as she pulled away once more. It was true though, our hair is identical except for hers reaching her shoulders. Our faces are extremely similar although her eyes are brown and her eyelashes are a bit longer. My blue eyes come from my Dad who has Blonde hair with a touch of grey.
He then walks to the bag he brought in and pulls out some of my clothes. He brings them over and sets them on my lap.
"Put this on. The doctors are letting us take you home today." He says while gesturing for my mom to leave the room. She stands up and puts a hand on my shoulder squeezing it lightly before walking out into the hallway. I unbutton the hospital shirt that I refuse to call a gown and Put the black V-neck on with ease but then realize the issue I'm soon to have. I looked from my leg to the shorts a few times before positioning them on my injured leg slowly and sliding them over it, then my left leg. I took me a while but I succeeded without my leg falling or being jostled too much. After a while I heard a knock on the door.
"You can come in" I shout at the door. The door then opens revealing my parents and a nurse who was carrying a pair of crutches. She set them down and slowly lowered the sling so that my leg was on the bed. She helped me swing my legs to the edge of the bed while helping lift me p while I kept my injured leg hovering over the tile floor. My dad then comes over with the crutches and helps me onto them. I put all of most of my weight onto them while taking a small hop on my left leg. After repeating this a few times I get the door and wait while my Dad grabs the bag and my Mom opens the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we get home I slowly walk up the stairs to my room taking every step with extreme care. When I reach my room I Lay down on my bed and let out an exasperated sigh. I could tell my parents heard me because they stay downstairs for a long time watching movies or something. I decide to stay upstairs for the sake of not having to climb back down those awful stairs. At around 12 Mom brings me up a small turkey sandwich with apple juice. She sets it on my desk and walks back down stairs. I Crutch-walk over to the desk and bring the food to my bed while sitting down and eating.
When I'm done I set it back on my desk while turning on my computer. I check my email and find nothing there. As a last resort I get a book off of my book shelf and go back to my bed and tart reading it. Hopefully something happens tomorrow.
~~~Time skip~~~
(Minami's POV)
I wake up Sunday morning stretching in my bed happily, remembering yesterday. After another hour or so of cloud watching we all headed home. When I got home Hazuki was practicing all sorts of spinning she learned in ballet while knocking over a vase in which Mom reacted by threatening to pull her out of the class. I just passed by and said goodnight and fell into a peaceful sleep.
I pick out my outfit for today which is a light blue t-shirt that faded into purple with a heart shaped neckline and washed out jeans. I then go and get ready for the day in the bathroom by brushing my teeth, putting on the outfit and putting my hair up. I headed back to my room and got the bag of stuff I bought for Hazuki. I then walk into her room and place it on her dresser. She's still asleep so I make sure that I'm quiet when I walk out. I head to the kitchen and put myself toast in the toaster as Mom and dad are drinking coffee. They both mumble good morning while reading today's newspaper. I giggle a little and spread jelly on my toast and pour orange juice. When I'm done I walk to the couch and set my breakfast on the coffee table and sit down while biting into the toast. As I'm eating I think about what to do today. While I'm thinking I hear Hazuki wake up and come downstairs. Mom and dad greet her the same way as she descends the stairs. She walks over to Mom and asks her for cereal in which she happily gets for her. I walk by and ruffle her hair as I put the dishes in the sink. I begin walking up the stairs when Dad stops me.
"Hey Minami, Do you want to come to Hazuki's ballet class?" he says while taking a sip of coffee.
"Sure when is it?" I ask curious.
"10:30, so in about an hour. I nod and head back upstairs into my room and pull out my phone. I surf the net for a few minutes before I get up and aimlessly wander around my room. I look at my book shelf and run a finger over the selections I've collected over the years. After picking out 'The Hunger games' I walk downstairs and sit on the couch while my Parents and Hazuki scurry around to make sure Hazuki has everything she needs. While I'm reading Hazuki comes and sits next to me in her lavender leotard and plumb tutu. She looks up at me with her eyes full of energy.
"Are you excited to see me practice ballet?" she says bouncing slightly. I look up from the book and smile at her.
"Very, are you nervous?" I ask. She shakes her head vigorously as her pigtails sway with her almost hitting me a couple of times.
"No way I'm super excited" she says while smiling widely.
"Are you two ready to go?" says Dad as he enters the room with a small bag. We nod and stand up to leave while I leave the book on the coffee table. As were heading to the door Mom comes down the stairs with her camcorder in her hands.
Since we live a few blocks away from the dance studio thing (A/N I don't know the name of those things) we walked to it. When finished our walk we entered the tall brick building. We entered the building to be greeted with a large room with a wood flooring and three tan walls with one covered in a huge mirror with a thin bar towards the middle. There are about four rows of metal chairs against the wall farthest from the mirror. We walked in and took three seats in the front while Hazuki ran up to her classmates who are chatting amongst each other. A couple girls notice Hazuki and run up to her and perform some kind of handshake. I smile at their little game and watch as the teacher comes in and introduces herself as . Then she turns to the kids and tells them to get in their spots. As they do so I brace myself for two hours of grade schoolers bumping into each other and falling over.
A/N: End of chapter three. R&R plz . See you in chapter 4!
