Chapter One

Aomine POV
There wasn't a moment that I wasn't worried about her. They still haven't discharged her from the hospital. When I imagined us going to high school together, I didn't think that I will attend the welcoming ceremony without her. Anger filled me as I recalled that fateful moment when it all changed.
Flashback:
We were playing in the semifinals against another Middle School. We weren't having any trouble against them, but we had forgotten one simple but disturbing fact – the high percentage of players, that have gotten injured during their matches against that particular Middle School. We were playing in the third quarter when it happened. We have just scored. A nameless player passed the ball to Makoto Hinamiya, Tetsuki moved to intercept the pass and direct it to me. Next thing I know Tetsuki is on the ground and Makoto was grinding his foot on her right knee, a disturbing crunch was heard, followed by her piercing scream. Before the referee can blow the whistle, I was by her side holding her close to me as she trembled and sobbed from the pain, our team surrounded her, but I didn't pay any attention. I only became aware of my surroundings as the paramedics came to take her away. She was clinging to me and I didn't want to let her go, but I knew I had to. I wanted to go with her but the coach stopped me, saying that he will go with the ambulance.
As they took her away I turned to my teammates, fire blazing in my eyes. Murasakibara was holding Makoto off the ground, wanting to crush him. Several people were trying to pry the giant off the offender, but he only listened when Akashi spoke:
"Let him go." he whispered, anger dripping in his voice. I looked around and saw all of my teammate's high strung with tension bodies and I knew that I wasn't the only one so deeply affected by the accident. The referee said that he hadn't seen anything, making my blood boil.
"Let's crush them, grind them to the ground and show them that injuring one of ours is unacceptable" I said dangerously. I saw them nod in agreement.
We quadrupled their scores.
End of Flashback
Many people around me were promoting their clubs, wanting freshmen to join them, but I didn't pay them any mind. I already knew what I would be doing – basketball. They had scouted me a month before the end of middle school. I agreed, only because I still hadn't chosen a high school and the fact that Tetsuki agreed to come there with me. A sigh escaped my lips, knowing that it would be another long day without her. I just couldn't wait to see her again, even though I would have the chance, only once I have finished practice, after school. With that thought in mind I went into the dreaded building.
