Chapter 23

Well this chapter is kinda short but well I don't give a fuck lol. Well I need to go now.

It was already late in the afternoon as I rushed into the hospital building. I took the elevator and then I already stood in front of Saturos room. I knocked and then stepped in, without waiting for a respond. „Sorry for being so late but work..." I trailed off at the end. Knowing I didn't had to explain. I sat down on a chair next to Saturos bed.

„So", I started, giving him a questioning look. Saturo was clenching to the bedsheets and his gaze skipped nervously around the room. „Has Kenya already explained it to you?" he then asked and I gave him a confused look. I put my elbows on my knees and leaned a bit closer. Observing every movement of him. „So he didn't?" I nodded and Saturo let out a small sight.

He sounded exhausted. Well of course he did, who wouldn't, after being so long in a hospital and using too much Energie for one move, exactly no one.

„What exactly do you remember?" I asked and titled my head. He did already remember a few things, but what was it now. He sighed again and then stared intensely into my eyes. „Do you remember Gaku Yashiro?" he asked out of the sudden, I lifted my eyebrows then I put my hand to my chin in thoughts. I sniped with my fingers. „Our homeroom teacher in primary school! What about him?" I gave Saturo a curious look, not really getting the idea why he was talking about him. „He was the reason why I ended up in that accident", My face dropped instantly. A look of anger settled down on it. But I tried to hide it. „I thought he was the one who called the ambulance and everything. He got out of the car and-" my rambling was cut off by the door opening and Hiromi rushed in, followed by Kayo and Kenya. „Well he did. After all, he also let the car fall into the water. I believe he hoped I'd die, if he would've called the ambulance later, I'd be dead now", I gulped hardly and gave him a pitiful look. That sure is traumatic.

I started to scratch the back of my head in thoughts. „Saturo, didn't he visit you?" Kenya asked calmly, but a tone of worry in his voice. Saturo nodded in agreement. I gulped again, still scratching the back of my head. „That dosen't explain, why he called so often", I thought out loud, well more or less, I was actually mumbling. But of course everyone heard me. „Indeed, It does", I turned my head in Kenya's direction. He was frowning and the second I looked at him I felt someone's hand on my left shoulder. Kayo obviously tried to calm me down, even though I wasn't nervous in the slightest. I was more worried than nervous. „Saturo told me the address of Mr. Yashiro, he lives in the same house as you do", I sweat dropped, now actually starting to feel nervous. How didn't I notice. I mean sure the house is big, but I would've notice my ex-teacher, wouldn't I? „We think that he wanted to keep an eye on you", Kayo explained from behind me. I rubbed over my eyes, suddenly feeling really exhausted. Then the simple question: „Why?" slipped out of my mouth. It sounded tired, almost overwhelmed.

I rubbed over my eyes again, suddenly feeling how my throat got dry. „You where the only one who noticed that something was off with him", Hiromi now explained to me, I gave him a surprised look. My expression obviously told them what I was thinking. „You told us,  that he seems stressed, as if something wasn't going according to plan", My throat was now fully dry and I had to cough. A dry laugh escaped me. I was sure overwhelmed by the informations and I didn't really know how to react. They put that all together at one day?! I thought in awe.

„And it wasn't going according to plan", my voice was merely a whisper. The others all nodded, while I stood up from the chair and walked up and down in the room, trying to get a clear thought. „So you think he heard that and started to keep an eye on me?" I stopped in my tracks. Looking back and forth between the group of old friends. All of them nodded again. „Well actually, we think that he tried to get rid of you", Saturo said and I nodded, actually having an idea what he was hinting on. „You sure are talking about the time he wanted to drive me home", I sent Saturo a small smile, he smiled back, probably agreeing with me. „Well I remember that he sounded slightly irritated as Kenya joined the convo", I thought out loud, tapping my chin, while walking up and down again. „I must say he played it off pretty well", I almost sounded impressed, well I was impressed, but not just by that.

I then stopped again and turned my head in their direction again. „And what now? You sure have a plan", I said, a small smirk crawled on my lips. They started to explain everything to me. A simple: „That's too complicated", slipped out and they told me that I shouldn't join them, because I may or may not end up hurt by Yashiro.
