I do not own Gakuen Alice
Chapter 8
Hospital:
"How is that possible…?" Nonoko's voice trailed off "Dr. Imai, please help her, you have to!"
Permy's face was in shock, I couldn't bear to look at her face. "You're the best doctor in Japan! You can do something! Right? Right?"
Seeing my friends and family all in shock, and despair just pains me. Even though I can't talk doesn't mean I can't write so I tugged my uncle's sleeve and did a writing gesture. He knew what I wanted and gave me a pen and a piece of paper. I smiled at him as a thank you and wrote 'Please calm down Permy, it's going to be alright.'
"Alright? ALRIGHT! How can you be alright? You can't talk Mikan! And you just think everything is alright! Tears streaming down Permy's beautiful dark emerald green eyes. I stood up and gave her a hug; she cried and cried. I looked up and walk to all my friends and gave them a hug, but I couldn't bear it anymore. Tears fell from my face; they fell like raindrops in a storm. My uncle and my friends surround me and gave me a group hug.
"Is there anything you can do, Dr. Imai?" My uncle looked at him is hoping eyes, but deep inside he knows that there was nothing we can do.
"You have to do something, please. Please Dr. Imai, please." Anna was begging Dr. Imai as if she lost something dear and precious.
"Help her, I know you can." Hotaru's voice was firm, but I could hear that she was begging. She grabbed Dr. Imai's hand "Please, please! I know you can help her! Please big brother! I've never asked for help in past! SO PLEASE! Please big brother, please help her. "
I have never seen the strong, confident, independent, Hotaru Imai look so helpless, and defeated. I looked at everyone in the room; I wrote 'Thank you. It's going to be okay. Don't worry. But please, don't tell mama and papa.' I then face Dr. Imai and wrote 'Thank you, and when can I leave the hospital?'
"You can leave in a few days; I have to make sure everything in your body is functioning properly." Dr. Imai said "Oh and it's nice to see you again Mikan, but I never thought that I would see you like this though."
After a few days, my uncle and friends picked me up from the hospital, but something was wrong. I noticed my uncle was troubled by something, I tugged his sleeve and gave him the note 'What's the matter? You seemed troubled.'
"Nothing Mikan." My uncle replied but I could tell that he was lying.
Yukihara Mansion:
"Welcome back Mikan sama." The maids and butler greeted. But all I can do was smile. I faced my uncle and wrote 'I'm going to my room.' Then I turned to my friends 'do you guys want to come?'
They looked at each other, but their faces told me that they can't, so I wrote 'It is okay if you guys can't, I understand.'
Anna looked at me "We're sorry Mikan." She gave me hug and whispered "We're always here to support you." With that my friends left.
Mikan's Room:
I lay down on the bed and thought about my life, a second grader who lost her voice. Great, my life was hard enough, now I can't talk. Well at least my parents are happy right? Now I understand that sometimes to make others happy, we must suffer in return.
Alice Academy:
I went to school earlier than usual, I walked pass the garden but stopped. I saw Natsume sitting underneath a sakura tree. His handsome face was calm and relaxed like he had no worries what so ever. Without thinking, I walk towards the tree, but instead of walking where Natsume was, I walked to the bench diagonal from him. He can't see me from where he is sitting, but I can see him. I was about to sit down when suddenly my cousin, Tsubasa Andou dragged me behind the bushes.
"Is it true you lost your voice?"
Since I couldn't talk, I nodded
Tsubasa's face paled, he hugged me and whispered "Everything's going to be alright."
All I could do was hug him back.
Classroom:
"Koko?"
"Sup, Narumi"
"Mikan? Mikan Sakura?" Narumi's voice began to panic.
"She's here Narumi" All the students looked up to owner of the voice which belongs to my uncle"Can I talk to you please, Narumi?"
By the end of the day, news about me losing my voice spread like wild fire.
