Hello hello hello! How are you doing?
Thanks to Animefungirl12, PeachParfait, and qwnyine101 for reviewing! Also thank you to Animefungirl12 for giving me some advice for my writing! I'll try to work on it. And, qwnyine101 grocery shopping lolz.
Also, funny story, during like a get together I gave this chapter in my notebook (where all my drafts are) to a 3rd grader to read and see what he thought. And guess what, he said that he could do so much better, and that he didn't like it at all. Ahhh, I feel so stupid right now. A friggin 3rd grader doesn't like it! So, I wouldn't blame ya if you don't like this story. But, good to know that I could improve on it, because trust me, this version is gonna be so much better than my draft.

Flames are welcome.
Please remember that this is FICTIONAL most of the things mentioned are most likely not true because I don't know what I'm talking about.
Also bear with me here because my description skills aren't that good.
Chapter 7
Utau's POV
Flashback
I was walking into the hospital room numbered 153, the room that held my mother.
I saw my mom lying in the hospital bed sleeping with the machines beside her beeping steadily letting me know that she was alive. She had just barely survived a terrible plane crash. The doctor had told us that she had broken part of her spine, several bones, punctured a few organs, and that she had a severe concussion.
So when she wakes up she would have amnesia and trouble processing things. Also when she's awake, she would not be able to move the bottom half of her body because she had broken part of her spinal cord. So yes, she was also paralyzed.
I was only 11 at the time so I didn't know what to do.
In the dream I ran over to my mother's side and sat on the chair beside her bed and gently took her hand in mine. I had tears silently streaming down my cheeks because seeing her like that, so weak and fragile made me so sad because she was normally so strong.
I was feeling so many emotions at once both in the dream and in real life. Sadness because of my mom's state, anger and hate because if the pilot wasn't so careless none of this would have happened, and strangely enough happiness because my mother wasn't dead.
I kept holding onto her hand with my dad standing behind me. After a while I decided that I would try to wake her up. I kept shaking her hand and calling her.
When she finally opened her eyes I was glad. Then she looked around before starting to panic.
Everything soon became chaos inside that tiny room. Because my mom couldn't remember who my dad and I were, she snatched her hand away from mine, and began screaming with a wild look in her eyes when she realized she couldn't move her legs.
The beeping of the machine beside her increased rapidly even I knew that, that wasn't a good sign.
My dad ran to go get help to try to calm her down because no matter what we tried our efforts were futile.
I didn't know what to do seeing my mother panic like that. I was becoming scared.
By the time the nurse came, the beeping of the machine was starting to slow down. I thought that, that was good, and that she was calming down, and everything would be fine, but I was proven wrong.
Because when the nurse looked at the monitor of the machine her face showed an expression of panic. She quickly ran out of the room not long after she just got in.
Just then, my dad came in confused as to where the nurse went. I shrugged at him, and turned back to my mom. Right after I did that, several nurses and a doctor rushed into the room carrying some sort of odd looking equipment in their hands.
I was about to ask my dad what the equipment was for when I noticed that my dad was starting have a panic attack. What is up with everyone panicking today? I was really confused.
But then I noticed something. The machine wasn't beeping anymore. Now I understood why, my mother's heart had stopped. I screamed my lungs out when I realized what that meant.
My dad quickly ran to my side trying to calm me down while the doctors were using that funny looking equipment they had earlier to get my mother's hear to start working again.
It had already been more than 5 minutes and the beeping still hasn't started yet. The doctor had already begun to inject some sort of drug (medicine) into my mom to help her, but nothing was working. After yet another few minutes all the chaos stopped.
The doctor slowly turned around to look at us with something like pity etched on his face. I knew what was coming. My mother was dead. In the dream I started screaming, "No, no, NO!".
When everyone left the room it was just me and my dad, I started to sob uncontrollably. I knew that doing that wouldn't bring my mom back, but I just couldn't help it.
I even saw my dad shed a few tears. I guess this was really painful for him too. By that point I had shed all my tears, and was just sitting there in my father's lap hiccupping like a little baby. But, who wouldn't cry if their mother had just died right in front of them.
It was then, that I decided to wake up.
I woke up with tears streaming down my face.
The nightmare was just how it happened on that life-wrecking day 4 years ago.
I took a few moments to calm myself from that horrible nightmare before checking my digital alarm clock on the nightstand beside my bed. It read 5:35AM.
I didn't want to go back to sleep, afraid that I would have the same nightmare again. So I got up quietly hoping not to wake Amu up, and went to the bathroom connected to our room.
The bathroom wasn't very big just like the rest of this cabin. All it had was a white tub with a shower head over it, a toilet, and a sink with a drawer and cabinet underneath. It was all white and gold, save the shower head that's silver.
I took a quick shower, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and put on my makeup (not that I have to improve or hide anything). I was wearing a dark blue dress with a brown braided belt around my waist, along with some blue flats. I also had a pair of sunglasses in my hair on top of my head that had a brown trim. My blond hair was down today and it reached down a little past my hips.
After I decided I looked amazing, I quietly walked down the stairs and out the door, careful not to wake anybody because the girls could be really scary if they were woken up at a time like this.
By the time I was out the door, it was already 6:00AM the sun would be up soon.
Right now there was a faint red and orange smudge on the horizon. The sky was also getting brighter.
I'm really excited about today because Yukari said that we could go shopping! I wandered through the dirt roads within the ranch for a while.
After about 20 minutes of walking and clearing my head, I decided to stop and sit on a bench on the side of the 'road'. It was weird… I didn't see anyone else around. Hmm maybe it's just too early.
I wonder how big this place is. In the brochure that was given, it said that there would be horses and other types of animals. You'd imagine how much space they would need, and I haven't even seen them yet.
I probably didn't even walk through half of this place yet.
The sun was now completely up and I was about to leave when I heard someone say behind me, "So, you're one of the new people eh?"
It sounded like a male… I turned around on the bench and my eyes were met with gorg- no wait, just emerald colored eyes.
His arms were draped over the bench I was sitting on, so he was bent over to my eye level behind me. I turned around and stood up brushing non-existent dust off my dress and looked him in the eye.
He was now standing up and I could see that he was about half a head taller than me. Before I could say anything he said, "Yo! Name's Kukai!".
I looked him over and saw that he was wearing what commoners wore. He had tan baggy shorts on that had a million pockets on them (not really), with a green shirt that had a yellow star in a blue circle in the center of the t-shirt, over a grey long sleeved shirt.
"Humph" I turned to walk away, but I was stopped when I heard him ask, "You aren't going to tell me your name?"
"No."
"Please?" He gave me the most ador- nope. He gave me puppy dog eyes that I just couldn't resist so I gave in and said, "I'm Utau, Hoshina Utau."
"Cool! Well I gotta go, so see you around!" He ran off after saying that.
Sheesh… that kid has way too much energy.
I turned around and walked back the way I came from thinking about how weird that green eyed kid was.
Thank you for reading! I hope this was good enough for you!
