I woke up in a cold sweat once again, gasping for air as I tried to recognize my surroundings. I scanned the room until my eyes landed on the boy besides me, looking at me with worrying eyes before stepping out and calling for a nurse. He came back and sat down besides me without saying anything, it felt awkward at first as my eyes wouldn't focus on who was in front of me, but as soon as I realized who it was.
"Kenma- what are you doing here" I saw his face scrunch up in frustration as he stood up from his seat and stood over me, at first I thought he was going to hit me at first, not that he was violent, but I was more surprised when his arms were suddenly around my neck. I wasn't quite sure how to react at first, I didn't know how much he knew or how much mom had told him, but I hugged him back, pulling his small body onto the bed so he was comfortable.
We stayed like this for a little while longer, Kenmas body had relaxed a little and I could feel his warm breath on my neck, it was quiet until we heard a couple of voices outside. Kenma quickly pulled off of me and wiped his eyes, they were a little puffy as if he had been crying and a wave of guilt washed over me; maybe I should of told him.
A doctor came in shortly followed by an anxious looking mother. The doctor took a look at me before shutting the folder he was holding, sitting on a chair on the opposite side of my bed while mother sat at the back of the room. Whatever they were about to tell me I didn't want Kenma to hear it, if he knew about my situation he would of spoke up about it, his silence comforted me that he remained oblivious. I gave him a wide eyed look and he took the hint immediately, grabbing his bag and bowing to everyone before leaving the room. The warmth he brought left with him, and my spine suddenly had the chills running down it. I missed him.
"Mr tetsuro I'm afraid I'm bringing bad news. Both me and your mother have come to the agreement that you can no longer attend school"
Crap
"I'm aware you enjoy it however after today's incident we can no longer have you putting yourself at risk"
Why
Why did it have to turn out this way
His words began to fade and I lost interest in what he was saying. This was it, it was over. I couldn't attend school anymore and Kenma knows there's something wrong with me, I was doing so well at hiding it so why? Why when everything seemed perfect did it have to turn out like this?
He spoke to mom a little more with me still in the room, but I couldn't hear a thing. Their voices hummed in my ear drums yet I couldn't make out a word they were saying, I wanted to go home, no, I want to go and see Kenma. I wasn't to tell him I'm okay, to ask him to the arcade again, to play volleyball, I wanted to do so much but I was stuck, stuck in a hospital room.
All I could do now was agree, I knew there was no point in arguing, it would be selfish of me to keep going and make everyone worry, besides, they wanted me to stay in hospital for a bit while they increase my Chemo sessions from 4 to 6 days a week. Lucky me.
After we had finished talking, mom gave me my phone back that had been constantly buzzing the entire time we were talking, it sounded like an angry bee.
I opened it up onto messenger and saw a list of people trying to contact me, majority of it was the volleyball team asking if I was okay, they heard from kenma that I passed out in class and couldn't attend practice. I scrolled a little more and saw a couple of kids from class say I 'did well to get out of the class' but still wished me the best. My finger finally came to a halt as I hovered over the name I'd been most desperate to see and hesitantly clicked to open the message.
Kenma: I'm coming to see you again tomorrow after school, and when I do
You're going to tell me everything
