Ch07

Yay! We finally find out Leanne's last name! Too bad aboot the news though... Anyways, someone told me that the last chapter didn't have any feels, but if that didn't, then this will. Hope you enjoy, Aru!

Hungary and Austria were making some bacon for Hoffy since she seemed so depressed. Leann was still on her trip in Iceland. Everyday that Leanne was gone, Hoffy felt worst and worst until one day she hid herself and threatened to rip off the appendages of anyone who attempted to disturb her. After the bacon was done, Hungary brought it over to her room to attempt to get her out of the room. "Hey! Hoffnungen! I have some bacon!"

"Fuck off!"

Hungary looked at the plate. This wasn't the Canadian bacon she asked for. This time she asked America how he makes bacon. She didn't think that it would taste very good, but Hoffy always wants some, but Hungary never had the chance to ask America how to make it. "Come on! Its American! I worked really hard on it!"

Hungary heard a strange silence from inside the room. The door slowly cracked open. "Gimme then fuck off!"

Hungary smiles. "You know the rule about food in the rooms."

Hoffy sighs and after 5 days straight, comes out of the room. Hungary hands her the plate, and Hoffy walks up to the window at the front of the house. She could see the whole front yard from there. All the pretty flowers and animals that scurry across it. Finally it hit her. Her heart started pounding faster than she knew it could. The bad feeling she had, had gotten so much more worst in an instant. She grabbed her chest and couldn't help but attempt at holding back the sobs that hit her harder than a brick.

Austria heard her and dashed for the front room. "Hoffnungen? What happened?"

Hoffy just looked at Austria with tears dripping endlessly. "It hurts... I can't... Breathe..."

Austria ran over and picked Hoffnungen up. "What hurts! Should we call a hospital?"

Hoffnungen pointed to where most the pain had formed. Her heart. Her eyes were narrowing as if she was tired, but this was serious. She knew that something happened, but she couldn't tell what, But she didn't like it at all.

Austria felt her head. "You seem normal... Is there anything else wrong?"

She starts crying even harder. "What happened! Tell me! I dont know why I feel like this! Please!" Suddenly she wipes her eyes and looks past Austria's shoulder to see a sparkle in the corner of the room. She stopped crying just long enough to see it. It calmed her down until it disappeared.

Austria runs to the closest telephone and begins dialing 911. Hungary finally reaches the room with them in it. "Whats wrong with Hoffnungen?"

Hoffy finally starts squirming out of Austria's arms. "Don't call them! Don't call 911! I just have a really bad feeling aboot Leanne!"

Austria put the phone down and wiped the back of his hand on the forehead, ,to try to get rid of the sweat that was pouring from it. "Don't scare me like that! You should have told me that it was only your gut!"

Hungary looked at Austria with a disappointed look as she leaned over to ask Leanne what she felt. "I suddenly just felt a... Burst of sadness pass me by... I Just am worried aboot Leanne, Eh..."

Austria walked to his room, and Hungary hugged Hoffnungen. "She will be just fine... Don't worry... This is your first time without her here, its only natural to feel worried..."

Hoffnungen wiped her eyes again, only on Hungary's sleeve. "T-Thanks Mrs. Hungary..."

Austria decided to stay with Hoffy until she went to bed, but she never left the window. All through out the night, she just stared. Austria put his hand on her shoulder and was surprised when Hoffy didn't yell obscenities at him or at the very least throw his arm off her. "What are you looking at?" He said as he smiled, thinking it would be something cute like looking at the flowers or waiting for the sun to rise.

"Outside"

Austria giggled. "What is it outside that your looking at?"

Hoffnungen wiped her eyes, which had started getting wet from sadness again. "I have a feeling that I might find out why I felt so sad earlier... and still..."

Austria looked at her with a hint of worry on his face. Maybe she was right. Maybe something did happen. "Hoffy, Do you have any idea what may have happened?"

Hoffnungen shook her head. "All I know is that something happened to Leanne... I'm scared, Mr. Austria..."

Mr. Austria? Now he knew that something was wrong. Hoffnungen would never call him Mr. Austria. He rubbed her shoulder trying to reassure her that Leanne was alright, even though now, he didn't know if she was. "Leanne is okay... Shell be back tomorrow. I'm sure you just miss her. Why dont you go to bed?"

Hoffnungen shook her head again and finally shook his hand off her shoulder. "I have to know..."

Austria decided that since Hoffy wouldn't go to bed, he would. When he reached his bed, Hungary was laying there asleep. He smiled before crawling into bed next to her. He tried to keep his mind off of it by thinking of his love. She was beautiful, smart, strong, courageous. All the things he always thought he couldn't be. After reaching that upsetting thought, he tried thinking of the visit his brother would be making in about a month or so, making deals on trade, imports, exports. Then he fell asleep with his brother in mind.

Hoffy didn't sleep at all the night before. Austria woke up to find that she was awake all night. Usually she would fall asleep early, and sleep in really late. But she didn't bother to close her eyes once. She just looked out the window all night. The fact that she didn't do her chores throughout the whole day didn't surprise him though. Maybe after a while, she gave up on looking for an answer and started searching for inspiration for a new painting. No. She looked bored. But what could happen?

Austria had gone into his piano room to practice, and Hungary was baking. Hoffy kept looking out the window. Birds, Trees, Flowers, people, rabbits, squirrels, 2 men in black uniforms. Wait... What. Hoffnungen jumped up. It was the first time she had moved all day and her back was in pain, but she ignored it to go answer the door, just like that door would answer her heart. "What happened to my sister?"

The 2 men looked at each other with emotionless glares, then back to the little girl standing in front of them. "Was your sister Leanne Jones?"

Hoffnungen's heart began racing. She didn't know what news was about to hit her, but she knew it would hit her hard, and she didn't like the suspense. "Ja..."

The taller man leaned forward and looked around. "Wheres your dad. We have to speak with him."

Hoffnungen's face wrinkled. Her eyebrows started making a 'V' and her mouth was a smile that had been flipped around. A frown. Her eyes sparked like someone about to get hurt. "What happened to my sister!?"

The shorter man sighed. "Your sister was in a car crash yesterday, around 12 'o clock. She was hit by a speeding car and got hit in the middle of the road."

Hoffnungen stared for a moment, contemplating to drag the men inside and beat them senseless. But quickly remembered that they were not to blame. Their job was to inform her. "Is she okay? Shes alive, right?"

The men were both silent. They tried to make sure not to make the child cry, but it was to late. "M-My sisters dead! How could this happen!? I warned her not to go! I told everyone that she would get hurt and no one believed me!" She paused for a minute. The droplets falling down her eyes had made her unable to see. Her sniffles and eye wiping had gotten in the way of her speech. "Shes gone... A-And I never told her that I... I loved her..."

Hoffy was crying in the doorway. The sight of it made all the people walking by feel sad. None of them knew what had happened, But it obviously wasn't good. "Can I at least go to the funeral? See her one last time?"

The 2 men quickly shook their heads and ran off, leaving Ungenerous alone and feeling even lonelier than she usually felt. She ran to the piano room and kicked Austria's piano. "What are you thinking you're doing?"

"You lied to me! You lied to me!"

It was at this point that he realized that Hoffnungen had moved from her spot at the window. "What did I lie about? Was it the reason you were at the widow?"

"Leanne wurde von einem Auto in Island betroffen. Sie hat noch keine machen es wieder wie Sie sagte, sie würde! You said she would make it back alive!"

Austria was struck hard, but not as hard as Hoffnungen felt when she heard. ''When was she hit?"

''Around 12, when i had my attack..."

Austria wiped his head, ''How could this happen to her... How could i let this happen to her!"

Hoffy jumped onto Austrias lap on the piano seat, and started pounding his chest with her tear covered fists. ''Это разве справедливо! Почему это должно было случиться, чтобы Leanne!''

Austria put one of his hands in front of hers. ''Please speak a language i understand''

''This isnt fair! Why did this have to happen to Leanne!''

This was it. A moment that would change her whole life. He had to think of something that wouldnt be too harsh, but not too sugar coated. ''Sometimes, these kind of things happen to even the nicest of people, like Leanne. But the important thing to remember is everone has felt like this at least once. Dont be depressed. Would Leanne want that?''

Hoffnungens small stream turned into a loud sob. Which ended with her facve in Austrias chest and his arms around her. Austria starts rocking her like a baby that needed comorting. At least one part of that was true. But while she was drifting off into a sleep, he heard he humming a song. A song he hadnt heard before. After she was completely asleep, she started singing the words. Her deep, dark, growling and ugly voice changed the instant her tired lips started forming the words of Leannes funeral song. She souded like an angel, just like her sister.

''Mawaru mawaru te o totte mawaru chikyuu rondo, Anata no shinzō no kodō ni awa sete odoru,Anata no kao ni emi o ukabete bēkon o kamu, mawaru mawaru chikyuude, Guten Tag, Hetalia.''

Austria needed to tell Hungary the bad news, but he didnt want to disturb Hoffnungens sleep, or singing. He may not have been able to understand a word of the song, but it was her voice that made his sadness slowly diminish.
