Do You Love Me? [RETIRED]

Chapter 3

(A week later)

Rukia’s POV

Why is it so dark? Why can’t I move? My body feels so heavy, I want to move but nothing would happen. I hear voices every now and then, some of them are familiar but I can’t remember who they belong to. The muffled voices have returned.

“Im so sorry Rukia, please wake up, please...” The man who is talking, breaks down crying. Don’t cry,I am awake, I can hear you. I wanted to tell whoever this was, that I was there and I can hear everything he was saying.

Ruki’s POV

It’s been a week, a week since Rukia has been stabbed and was dying in my arms. The 6 men or however many there were, was arrested and sentenced to jail. I don’t know for how long, but that doesn’t bother me, I am more worried about Rukia. Luckily paramedics and the police found us pretty quickly, they took Rukia and us to the hospital. Rukia was saved just in time, but she’s been in a coma since.

We are staying in a near by hotel, but I still visit Rukia every day, hoping that she will wake up, but nothing happens. It’s all over the news now, what had happened to us, Rukia’s picture was also released. Telling the whole world that she was raped, shot, stabbed and in a coma. This had caused a huge commotion with the public, they hate the fact all this happened to a 15 year old. To be honest Im shocked she manged to survive, she’s a strong girl.

No family has called the hospital, and asked to visit her. Everyone thinks she has no other family left, the only calls she gets is from the same 2 girls. Who claim they are her friends, but they have been refused to be allowed to come and visit her.

I’m now sitting beside her, holding her hand in mine. The bruises over her body, have started to fade, but many are still looking fresh. I end up talking to her all the time, even though she can’t hear me. I apolagize so many times and ask for her to wake up. I don’t like seeing her in the hospital. The rooms are so white and plain and make things feel worst. I brought in some roses and put them in a vase, it seems like that is the only thing that brings life here.

I start feel myself getting sleepy, but I snap out of it when I feel my hand being squeezed slightly. I look up “Rukia!” Nothing, she doesn’t do anything else just lays there.

I hear footsteps outside. “Hey, Ruki what’s wrong?” Kai asks, standing in the doorway.

*“She...I thought she had woken up, she squeezed my hand.”* I inform him

*“Really!? That could be a sign, she might wake up soon. Im sure of it, just wait Ruki.”*

*”Wait with me Kai, please.”*

*”Sure”* he sits himself in a chair beside the window. *”I’ll call the others, Im sure shell be happy to see everyone”.*

Rukia’s POV

I feel lighter, it’s like I’m being taken away from the darkness. I can feel myself layed on something soft, just open my eyes now.

I squint at first, the blinding white of my surroundings are far too bright for me to handle. I try to sit up, but the pain was too much, I should try things slowly. My eyes adjust to the white walls and ceiling, there’s a machine attached to me by several tubes and stuff, beeping softly. I’m in a hospital?

I look around the room I’m in, there are five figures in here aswell they look so familiar, they’re asleep. I remember now, how could I forget. Its Ruki, Reita, Aoi, Uruha and Kai. Kai is sleeping in a chair near a window, Aoi and Uruha are on floor against the wall sleeping on each others shoulders, Reita asleep in another chair next to Kai. I smile, they look so cute sleeping, oh yea I said there were five people.
