Flowers of Failed Feelings {MomoJirou}

Helpless

Jirou's POV:

"Jirou, you have that fucking disease as well?"

I was sitting in a hospital chair, my leg bouncing up and down. There was a trash can beneath me, and my eyes were on the verge of tears. My hanahaki disease only had gotten worse since Momo was admitted. Aizawa-sensei entered the waiting room and sat down next to me.

"I got your call. Where's her parents?"

"They didn't even come."

He crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair.

"Do you think she'll live? They said her hanahaki was really bad." 

"Like yours?" He said, looking down in the trash can.

"Worse."

He sighed and rubbed his temples, "Who do you have it for?"

"Her, but she has the disease too. So who does she have unrequited love for? Please tell me, so I can die peacefully."

He put his hand on my shoulder as tears dripped down my face.

"She has it for you."

I looked up at his frustrated eyes, "That doesn't make sense. How can we both have the disease if our feelings are requited?"

"I believe it was because she was in denial of her feelings, so it made it seem like unrequited love. Although, I didn't know if you actually liked her back you would catch the disease as well. If I had known you were suffering too, I probably would  have forced her to confront her feelings."

"Did she tell you this?"

"No, I heard it through Recovery Girl."

"She was scared. Her parents probably traumatized her to make her do their every bidding. I can't imagine what they would have done to her if she were to come out to them."

He sat up, "Jirou, what do you mean by that?"

"It's a long story, but I believe her parents...they abused her."

"How do you know?"

"It was the way she looked very uncomfortable around them. And I believe her father threatened her right in front of my face. She even told me that her parents are the reason she..."

"She what?"

The nurse came in, "Are the family members of Momo Yaoyorozu here?"

Aizawa-sensei stood up and went to talk to the nurse. I threw up some more petals in the trash can. He walked back over to me.

"Is she alive?" I said, jumping to my feet.

"Yes, but she was put in a medically induced coma. They advised her to get the hanahaki  surgery immediately, but they need her parental figures to sign off on it."

"Her parents are not even here to do that though."

"I know."

"Can I at least go see her?"

"There's no one here to tell you you can't."

I quietly walked into her room, shutting the door behind me. She was hooked up to a breathing machine and was attached to many wires. Seeing her like that broke my heart. I sat down in the chair next to the bed. Her eyes were shut and her body was motionless. I gently grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. My tears came rushing back. I laid my head on her bed  as streams of sorrow trickled down the side of my face.

  If only I had known sooner, I would've confessed yesterday.

The door opened, and I turned around. It was her parents. My sadness immediately turned into anger. Her father and mother approached her bed and sighed.

"This is your fault," I said, stuffing my head into my crossed arms.

Her father shook her head, "You naive girl, this is clearly her own fault. She decided to have feelings for you when she knew we wouldn't approve." 

I really had nothing to say to him. My heart was overwhelmed with too many emotions to say anything back. 

He put his hand on Momo's cheek. Her heartbeat started to spike, causing the beeping of the heart monitor to become rapid. I smacked his hand away from her and the beeping started to gradually slow down.

"What the hell did you put her through?"

He scoffed, "What do you mean?"

"She's even scared of you in a fucking coma.". 

"This whole situation is just disgusting, let's go, honey." 

They left, which I was thankful for.

 After awhile a doctor came in, "Excuse me, Miss. I need to run a few tests on Ms. Yaoyorozu."

I nodded and left the room. It took about 20 minutes until the doctor came back out.

"Is everything fine? Excluding her hanahaki, of course."

"Yes, I'm just preparing for her surgery tomorrow."

"Oh oka—Wait, she's doing the hanahaki surgery tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we got the okay from her parents before they left."

My chest began to tighten, "Oh."

"You don't have to fret. She'll be fine once we removed the flower roots from her lungs," the doctor smiled.

"And she'll...she'll forget all her romantic feelings for that person, right?"

"That's how it works."

"So she'll forget her feelings for me," I mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing, sir."

I walked back into her room, closing the door softly behind me.

"Momo, please wake up. You have to or there gonna do the surgery without you knowing tomorrow!"

What was I doing? She's unconscious; she can't hear me.

I fell to my knees, coughing up petals. 

"Momo, I love you so much.  P-Please don't—"

Then everything went black.
