The rain stopped and we walked home. After dinner, I checked my heart rate. I thought about the kiss. My heart rate started to feel different. I looked at the heart rate monitor. It was a bit higher. I wasn't feeling pain. I heard footsteps. I quickly wrote the number and put the heart monitor away. It was Tezuka.

He saw the notebook in my hand. He walked over to me and took the notebook. He looked at the record. He saw the latest number. He looked at me. "Are you feeling alright?" he asked. "I feel fine," I said. He put the notebook away from me. I decided to go to bed early. It was only 9:10 pm.

Dream Start....

I was watching Tezuka playing a match with someone. I couldn't see his face. He had a grey jersey on. It read Hyotei on it.

Next thing I knew, Tezuka dropped his racket and grabbed his shoulder. He cried out in pain. "Tezuka!" I yelled out. I ran to him. I couldn't reach him. He was moving away. I tried to run faster. He was moving a way too quickly.

I began to feel an immense pain in my chest. {My heart!} I stopped and grabbed my chest. I tried to calm down to stop the pain. It began to get worse. I started to suffocate. {Tezuka. I need you!} I couldn't breath

Dream End...

I gasped for air. I saw Tezuka's face in front of me. "Sh...its just a nightmares. Miyu, are you alright?" he asked with worry and concern. I was breathing hard. I saw him reach over me for my lamp. He turned the light on and reached for my heart monitor. He checked my heart rate for me. "Its a little too high. But not enough to go to the hospital," he exhaled in relief. I nodded my head. "Calm down," he said softly.

It took me a while to calm down. He put the heart monitor and the notebook away. He turned off the lights. "Do you want to tell me about it," he asked. I shook my head. "I will tell you in the morning," I said tiredly. He gave me a nod. He didn't lay back down. instead, he rested on his shoulder and pulled the cover put to my shoulder. He patted my chest to get me to sleep.

It was comforting. I could feel my heart rate. It was feeling the same as the time that Tezuka kissed my temple. I slowly drifted off to sleep with Tezuka watching over me.
