A/N: HEY GUYSSS! I missed you guys so much! I know I've been gone for a long time and I'm super sorry. Okay let me give you guys a short run down of why I've been gone. As some of you may know, I started my first year of college in September. Along with that, I also started a new job. Things started getting crazy hectic. Then I got into a relationship which obviously takes away more of my time (not that I mind of course). Later on, about two months ago, when things started cooling down for a bit and I was planning on updating, I was taken to the hospital. But now that the school year is over and my HP is just about back to 100%, I can continue with my stories! You guys don't even know how excited I am right now. I'm like crying tears of joy lol. *sigh of relief* Now, back to the story...

Haru opened his eyes to the bright white florescent lights. He feel a dull stabbing pain in the lower part of his body. So much that he could barely move. What's going on? Why am I here? He glanced over to notice the IV stemming from his hand. In the silence of the room, there was the slow but steady sound of the heart monitor. The more he looked around, the more confused he became until he tried his best to sit up. Haru doubled over in pain. Flashes of Rin and Makoto soon turned into flashes of blood and the orca crying. His eyes began to tear up. The pain was getting worse. Haru could feel his heart begin to race and his face get hot as it all started to come back to him. W-what happened? Where's Makoto? What about t-the ba... He couldn't even finish his thought before the pain became unbearable. A nurse came into the room just in time to witness this. She ran over to him, "Nanase-kun please!" She said as she slowly pushed him back down. "You're going to tear your stit-" she looked down and saw a growing red stain on the sheets. "Oh no.." she whispered under her breath.

Makoto was walking down the hallway towards Haru's room. It had been two days since the whole ordeal. He was walking with his head hung low. His eyes were blank. In these two days, he'd felt completely numb. Haru was hurt and he was blaming himself for it. That night, he didn't even want to think or speak about it until he saw his lover's eyes open. Just then he saw a doctor and a few nurses run towards the same room. What the? The doctor got a glance of Makoto and stopped him for a second, "I'm sorry Tachibana-kun but you cannot come into Nanase-kun room right now. I apologize."

In a second, Makoto's came back to life, "Wait what's wrong with Haru?" but it was too late. The doctor had already left and went into Haru's room. Panic quickly swept over him. Haru.. He ran up to the closed door and listened to what was going on.

"What happened here?"

"I found him trying to sit up and I think he might've torn his stitches."

"Alright, we need to move fast before he loses more blood."

Blood? Haru-chan please be okay.

From the dolphin's lips escaped a loud groan. Makoto's hands began to shake. Why am I so useless? I couldn't help him then and I can't help him now.

For the first time, he heard something that he never expected.

"M-Makoto!" Haru yelled in agony. Makoto fell down to fetal position outside the room and placed his hands over his head. Tears slowly began to form in his eyes. He needs me. Haru needs me and I'm just...Haru I'm sorry.

To be continued...

And that's all for now guys! I understand this is REALLY short but I did that for a reason so no worries lol. See you guys soon (I swear)! xx
