Rescue Me

She watched him, and knew, as she had before, that he was really sorry and she nodded like an idiot, as if he could see her. He raised his head once more seeing her staring at him still, and he continued apologizing thinking she wasn't buying it.

"I…I should have never treated you that way, after all this whole argument happened because of my stupidity…" he looked away from her as he spoke the last part almost softer than the rest. She couldn't take it anymore she just wanted this whole awkward moment to be over and for them to return being friends like usual even if that meant she had to keep her feelings at bay.

"I forgive you…"she said almost too softly to hear, but Kyouhei caught it and instantly looked back at her. She gave him a small smile, and he returned it with and even larger one.

"Thank you." He said as he moved his hand over her left one that was resting on the bed. She was a bit startled by his almost intimate gesture but she didn't really want to start anymore talks after it was finally over.

"There's one more thing I want to talk to you about…" The tone in Kyouhei's voice made Sunako become nervous again.

'Here it comes!' she thought, she was starting to become depressed knowing what Kyouhei was about to tell her. That he really loved her "as a friend" and they were just close "friends" The thoughts made her feel sick, and she never thought she'd be wishing for something more than friendship with Kyouhei Takano, and yet here she was! Getting depressed because he didn't return her feelings.

Noticing Sunako's sudden change in mood Kyouhei squeezed the hand he was grasping, bringing her back to reality.

"Are you not feeling well? Do you need something?" Kyouhei obviously mistook Sunako's mood change having to do with her illness.

"N-N-No…I'm just…" she began to trail off leaving Kyouhei confused and just watching her. She could feel tears forming their way in her eyes, and the weight of his stare was crushing her again! 'Dammit Sunako! Don't you dare cry! Just as everything was about to be fixed!' but it was too late the tears were falling, and once again she felt like the stupidest person on earth, and quickly turned her head to the right away from him.

"Sunako…What's wrong?" Kyouhei felt stupid for asking, obviously she was still hurt by what he has said/done last night, and it tore him up inside. He wanted to comfort her, but he wasn't sure how to do it.

'What's wrong?' Sunako chanted in her head was this guy really that dense! She was starting to get angry at everything, the fact that he was still there staring at her, that he was apologizing, that he didn't love her! There were so many things, and emotions that were coming back up that she thought had been buried long ago. It was like she was relapsing back into the depth of the darkness, and she began to cry harder. Twisting her whole body away from him and laying down facing the wall.

"Sunako I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong with you!" he said almost desperately.

This guy was really pissing her off and she could keep her mouth shut for much longer! He had to be the densest person in the whole world to keep bothering her about it!

"What's wrong?" she yelled/sobbed out still not turning to face him.

Kyouhei was shocked into silence; he wasn't sure what he had said to upset her THIS much. After all she had just forgiven him a few minutes ago!

"You're what's wrong!" she continued on "you make me feel things I don't want to feel! You make me feel sorry for you! You steal my food! You bother me when I want to be alone! You kiss me for no reason! YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU!" she finally screamed out, but instead of angry it came out more pitifully than she would have liked.

Kyouhei could feel his heart pounding in his chest. The silence had taken over the room again – and all that could be heard was the soft sobbing coming from Sunako's figure that was half buried in the blankets and facing away from him. He wasn't sure how to respond, but he knew he had to, or things would just keep escalating, but Sunako's voice began to speak again before he could.

"And worst of all…"Her voice was a lot softer now, but still full of sorrow."You made me love you."

*gasp!*
