Chapter 43: Consternation

The next morning was quite the strange time for everyone. Most were wondering what comes next and one of them was completely unaware of what had even happened. Natsuki laid in her bed in peace for the most part at least because when she woke up she was met with the most violent headache she's ever experienced.

"Uughhh..."

She woke up with the least amounts of optimism and quickly held her forehead as she felt the strong surge of pain rushing through it. Trying to get up from bed she began scanning her surroundings and noticed that she's in her room which should not have been something so surprising if not considering what happened before she woke up.

But, she doesn't recall what happened. All she could remember was the dance and hanging out with Sayori and the rest was just a blur.

In her attempts to stand up her head had other plans as she began wobbling left to right like a bobble head only to fall back onto the bed and clench her head tighter.

"Aaggh! What the hell..."

She decided to just lay back down for the time being and check her phone. Still being a bit early in the morning meant her dad is still at home so she sent him a text asking him to come upstairs to at least get some enlightenment on what even happened.

Not wasting another second her father rushed up the stairs and knocked on her door to which she weakly responded too.

"Come iinnn.."

"Natsuki! Are you alright..?"

"My head feels like it's about to explode...I don't know why..."

"Well...that was sort of expected sweetheart.."

"What? What does that mean? I was going to call and check up on Evan but I-"

"You are doing no such thing!"

This sudden outburst was something Natsuki was not expecting and to go with her headache it was more ear wrenching than it should have been.

"What?! Why not..?"

"You have nothing to do with that boy! Not anymore and I don't want to hear another word about him-!"

Now she was both confused and scared. So much is already happening so early in the morning and she couldn't even properly comprehend what was happening but before she could protest and question any further he got up and left the room.

"I'll get you some meds..."

"Papa!"

She called out to him but in his own anger he chose to ignore her. Now Natsuki was left with even more questions rather than most answered and as if a sign of hope, her phone began ringing through her bag she had last night as she hastily crawled from one end of the bed to get it and checked her phone.

It was a call from Sayori,

"Hello?"

"Natsuki! You're awake."

"Uhhh yeah?"

"Do you have a headache too? My head has been killing me since I woke up..."
