H5 Can't think straight

Authors note:

HEY GUYS!

WOW another update!

I bet I surprised you hehe :P

I just thought about the storyline yesterday night, and came up with an idea! I am really thrilled to write it, since I finally know how to progress!

ANYWAY ENJOY! Hope you like it! And of course follow the story and review as well, since it makes me really happy!

Shit! Why couldn't he just handle some blood! But, thinking back, he was never good in handling things like that. He was always acting tough but he often found things very gross, but never to the point of actual vomiting.

He would often look away, not wanting to see the gross things, for example when he watches a movie and there is a surgery with a lot of blood involved. But then he knows it's not real.

Now it is.

And he can't handle it.

Rin is shaking, and he doesn't like it. His whole body is shaking in fear and shock. Something no-one wants to experience. Rin is still in the bathroom, now in front of the mirror. Rin's hands clench the sink with so much force that his knuckles turn red. His mind is filled with images of Haru drenched in blood and the stains he left onto the tiled floor. The bathroom is a mess, the toilet and the sink are dirty, just as the mirror.

Rin can't help but look into the mirror. He sees a faint reflection of himself. Dirty hair, his eyes swollen from the tears and his face is pale. Very pale, like he saw a ghost. But that's not the case, he just saw his friend (a friend right? Haru was a friend? He doesn't know for sure. All he knows is he didn't liked it when he got hurt) almost dead. Nothing more.

His hands are hurting, but he's not letting go. Afraid. I, Rin Matsuoka, am afraid. What if it happens to me as well? And will everything be alright with Haru? Haru, was he just the first victim? Am I the second? Will it ever stop? Then Rin backs away, as he sees a horrible sight. His face, covered in blood. He looks at his hands. What is happening to me? I am not myself anymore. Then it's on his hands as well. Rin panics and runs out of the bathroom, running, not looking where he goes, just to forget the terrible things he just saw. [Visual hallucination is the 'seeing of things that are not there', which can also (according to some definitions) include 'seeing things that are there, incorrectly' (Illusions). With visual hallucinations one sees images that do not correspond with reality. Colors can change, images can turn convex or concave, objects can wave. And in severe situations people can see things that aren't even there.]

Nitori's POV

I am outside, just before the school gates, like everyone else who heard the sirens of the ambulance. Just now two men came running with a stretcher, and Nanase-san was on top of it. He is still unconscious, not responding. Seijuro walks towards me.

"Nitori, how is Matsuoka?"

"Have you seen him?"

I answer truthfully that I haven't seen him. He's probably still in the pool.

Waiting, as it would change anything. Of course not. Nitori smirks. Nothing will change. I have done it perfectly. No one will suspect me. Especially Rin, he's probably so shocked he can't think straight.

Now it's time to 'comfort' him. Saying it will all be alright. Nanase-san will survive blablabla. But first I need to get rid of the evidence. There isn't much, but for certainty I must check it.

"Seijuro, I will look for Matsuoka-senpai."

"He is probably still in the pool."

"Yes, I know. Maybe it's better you find him Nitori."

"I thought the same. Now if you could just excuse me."

I walked back into our school. Our school, the happiest place for Matsuoka-senpai (except of Iwatobi-swim club of course) until today. I am certain this day will be traumatizing for him. But even more for Nanase-san. Just as I wanted it to be. It's not that I hate him. It's just I don't like them together. If Nanase-san just kept his distance this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't need to hurt him, nor my precious Rin.

The school is empty. Everyone is outside, the students, the teachers. Nothing like this had ever happened so everyone is curious. Just how I like it. Now I can go around the school with not having to look behind me if someone is following me, suspecting me. They don't even know it wasn't an accident, they better not find out, for their health sakes.

I opened the door to the pool and I was surprised to not see Rin sitting there. Where could he be? I was certain he would stay here, unable to move.. maybe I was wrong. He better not be walking around, finding my stuff.

Rin's POV

I am still running. Running, endlessly. I don't feel safe. What if it wasn't an accident? But how? When? I don't know why Haru has this strange wound. I better go check on him. Haru, I hope you're alright. Damn you better be alright!

Where is Haru again? Oh right, he was taken by those two men, I think they are outside. I need to see him. Just check if he is okay, he's my friend after all.

I stopped running, just resting. I need to do this, for Haru's sake.

He needs me now.

Where am I anyway? All I can see is doors. The doors are everywhere. They.. they change colors, as I walk by. Rin shakes his head. Focus Rin. Focus. Find a window, and then you can see outside and know where you are. I looked for a window, found one, and looked outside. Trees, a little garden, full of salads, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots. It must be the vegetable garden the gardening club has! But isn't that close to his own room?!
