Wakiya Ushijima (Ushijima's younger sister)

Part 3

Wakiya pov

I finished up school and volleyball practice not bothering to even look for my brother knowing he was going to study with Wakatoshi. I had finished most of my work at school but had some math left over which I planned to do when I got home. Packing my things I leave school grounds and head back home where I use the spare key to get inside. I helped myself to a small snack of mini Onigiri while I started my remaining math work. 

15 minutes later I completed it and leaned back in my chair. Why did it take my brother so long to get his work done? Did he really have THAT much homework or was he overworking himself? Sighing I put my work back into my bag and head to my room plugging my phone in since it was close to dying.

Boredom seeped through through my walls and I stared at my ceiling wondering what I should do. I could go on  walk but it was getting dark and my mom forbid me from leaving without someone else even though I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself. After a few minutes I decided to watch something on my laptop. I roll off my bed grabbing the gray laptop which I settled on my lap after getting back on my bed. I scrolled through Netflix until I found a movie that seemed interesting. It was about two siblings. I begin to watch it settling into the movie. 

I begin to see horrifying parallels between the two main characters that matched me and Wakatoshi. only the main characters were twins. They started drifting apart because of their hobbies. One who was really into sports and the other into art. At some point the one who liked sports got hurt and the artist sibling began to spend a lot more time with the sporty sibling. 

I heard the door open and two people step into the house. Pressing pause on the movie I get up to greet whoever had arrived back home. I see Wakatoshi and Satori taking their shoes off and talking with each other. Satori looks up and locks his eyes on me before sprinting across the room and giving me another giant hug. I shriek a bit which made him laugh and let go.

"Hey there Satori what are you doing here?" I ask him to which my brother coughed loudly in the background.

"Oh well I'm forcing him to take a small break." Satori put his hands on his hips and nodded his head proudly as if he had just tamed a lion. I look to my brother who was clearly sulking. 

"Well what do you guys plan on doing? I'm just watching a movie." I say.

"I dunno what we're gonna do, what movie is it?" Satori asks me.

"It's called Kyodai." I say heading back in my room to finish the last 20 minutes of it. 

The movie had given me an idea. 

...

The next day at volleyball practice I sat on the sidelines waiting to be called into the court. Mentally preparing myself for what I was about to do. 

"Ushijima!" Rumi called me into the court. I switched out with one of the blockers. 

"Alright let's do this!" Rumi gave us a smile. It wasn't like we were doing an official match just a practice one with Kunugigaoka high. I take a deep breath watching as the opposing team served. One of the wing spikers received it which caused the volleyball to head back to the other side of the court. I waited for the volleyball to come towards me and when it did I took a deep and turn my foot in an awkward direction and stepping hard on my foot. I heard a sharp snap and a thud before everyone drifted into nothingness.

"Wakatoshi you need to go to the hospital." Tendou urged with a panicked look on his face as he looked out the window to the gym. I walk over and ask him why.

"Your sister, she's being laying on a stretcher. She looks like she got hurt or something!" Tendou explained. I blink a few times processing the words my best friend had just said. I gulp and run out of the gym a few of my teammates following my lead as I rushed over to the girls team. 

"What happened!?" I demanded an answer from Rumi the girls captain.

"I think she twisted her ankle or maybe broke a bone. I don't know, she fell pretty hard..." the girl said taking a step away from me. I turn to my sister who was just barely conscious. I walk briskly over to where a few people were lifting her into an ambulance. 

"I'm her sister can I come with you guys?" I ask frantically. One of the guys looked at me with a sad look and just shook his head. I bite the inside of my mouth making it bleed a bit. I run back to where Tendou was standing.

"You've got a car with you right?" I ask him to which the redhead nodded.

"Drive me to the hospital." I order him with a stern look. He nods once more and we run our way to where Tendou's moms car was parked.

I knew where I was but everyone was covered in searing hot pain. It was centered around my ankle or was it my entire leg? I didn't know, all I knew was that my brother better take this as a sign to pay attention to me. 

Was I being selfish?

Yes. I knew that. 

Was I being stupid?

Yes. I knew that.

But I guess when you know those things and still choose to break yourself down to be noticed you begin to realize just how desperate you are.
