"..." Everyone waited in silence as the group sat just outside of the room that the doctors were running tests on Yoshiki in. Ayumi sat in her chair, trying to keep her sobs silent as she sat with her face covered by her hands. Mayu sat beside her, rubbing her back in comfort. The group consisted of Ayumi, Satoshi, Naomi, Mayu, Sakutaro, and Seiko. Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know what they'd do if Yoshiki never woke up. Satoshi still held onto Yoshiki's cell phone, unable to process what would happen if he wasn't distracted by the text. Could it have prevented this all from happening? He was still Trying to figure it all out, maybe once it had all sunk in he'd be able to interpret it better.
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of a door opening and everyone focused on who it was walking out. It was the doctor, who must have been done with the tests. "When's he gonna wake up?" Ayumi rushed to the question, wiping the tears from her eyes. Everyone looked at the doctor as he turned in response.
"Its hard to say," he started, sending fear and worry into everyone's eyes. "But based off the tests, it could take between an hour, to a week. And that's if he wakes up period."
"Whats the chance of him not waking up?" Sakutaro asked attentively. Everyone was wondering the odds, but they were too afraid to ask. Luckily, Morishige stepped up.
"I'd say there's probably a ten percent chance, but that's a rough estimate. Mr. Kishinuma took rough blows to the upper and mid body, but luckily none of his vitals were harmed. I'd say he got very lucky with this injury, it could have ended up much more grave. Anyway, I'm still waiting for some of the test results to come in, so you can go in and visit if you'd like. If he wakes up while I'm gone, notify me or a nurse immediately. We need to see if he is concussed or not, and how bad it is if he is. Until next time," the doctor said as he walked off. Everyone looked at each other in fear as they all walked in to assess the damage. Naomi and Satoshi were hand in hand as they squeezed through the doorway. Behind them was Mayu, who was comforting a weeping Shinozaki, and behing them, were Sakutaro and Seiko, who just looked straight ahead of themselves, not even acknowledging each other.
And with that, everyone was huddled into the small hospital room gathering around a broken Yoshiki. No one had it as hard as him, it seemed like he could never get a good break of things, and this was a good example of that. Not to mention the fact that he wasn't looking very good either - He had a black eye, and his face and body had gone pale due to blood loss. He also had road rash from flying across the street off of impact from the car, and he had bruises, cuts, and scrapes on his arms, legs, and upper body from the hit. Yoshiki wasn't doing so good.
"Jesus..." Satoshi mumbled in shock. He glanced at his watch and realized that it was past ten, and Naomi and him had to be getting home. "Shit," he started, glancing over at Naomi, catching her attention.
"What's the matter?" She asked, awaiting an answer. She figured it couldn't get any worse now.
"Its eleven, we're late. We should be getting home, our parents are gonna get worried."
"What about Kishinuma?" Naomi asked, looking at Ayumi with a worried expression on her face. "She needs us."
"It's okay if you go," Ayumi begun. "I understand."
Naomi smiled at her understanding. "Thank you Shinozaki. Make sure to call us if anything happens. I'll see you tomorrow," she waved as they exited the room. It was bad timing that they had to go home so soon, but she'd at least get the update the next day. Hopefully nothing bad would happen while she was gone. Hopefully...
Half an hour later...
"Hey Shige," Mayu moaned cutely. "I'm kind of hungry, do you maybe wanna go with me to get some food from the cafeteria?" She looked up at Sakutaro, a flirtatious smile on her face. How could he say no to that?
"Shinozaki," Morishige said, cathing her attention.
"Hmm?" She answered looking over at the two.
"We were gonna go grab some food, did you want anything?"
"No, I'm fine thanks... or maybe just a bottle of water would be nice please."
"Sure thing, we'll be back in no time," he smiled as he left through the door, leaving Ayumi all by herself, as Seiko left just after Naomi and Satoshi. But Ayumi knew she too would have to leave at some point. There was still school tomorrow, and she had to get some rest after all of the commotion of the day. Even though she knew that after what happened, there was no way that she would be sleeping that night. She glanced at the time and saw that it was just passed eleven-thirty - she needed to be home soon, but she didn't want to ditch Mayu and Sakutaro. She just figured that she'd go and find them in the cafe and then they could all leave in a group. With that, she left the hospital room, leaving Yoshiki all alone...
"I think its just around this corner," Sakutaro said after looking at the sign that was directing them to the cafeteria. "Yep, here it is." He pointed at the entrance and the couple walked into the room. It was filled with vending machines that were lined up along the back wall of the room. Some of them had drinks and beverages, others had casual candy bars and bags of chips, and others were cooler-styled and had sandwiches and actual food - well, at least as far as hospital food goes.
"Look at it all," Mayu giggled as she approached one of the vending machines. "I want that one," she squealed, pointing at a chocolate bar in the top right corner of one of the machines.
"I thought we were getting real food," Sakutaro laughed as he walked over to pay for Mayu's chocolate bar. "Here you go," He smiled, handing the girl the chocolate.
"Thank you," she beamed. Suddenly, she embraced him in a hug, something that hardly ever happened to Morishige.
"It was all worth it for that," Sakutaro thought in his head while looking down at the girl, hugging her back. A few seconds later, they parted from each other, and Morishige walked over to a vending machine and bought a sandwich. "Now," he started, "Let's get back to Shinozaki.
"I'm right here," a voice said, coming from the doorway of the cafeteria. It was Ayumi. "I was thinking we could walk home together so we can get rest for school tomorrow - its getting pretty late." No one was objecting leaving, due to the three being as tired as they were.
"Okay," Mayu replied, "Let's get out of here."
