MatchaBlossom (Miya angst)

If only i was there

~*Miya POV *~

It hurts, my vision is blurry. My hands are red and my hoodie stained. The dark abyss of the alleyway swallowing me whole. If I give up now, maybe it would end soon. I released my grasp and felt a wave of pain shoot through my body before everything went dark...

~*Cherry POV*~

I was waiting for Kojiro to finish his shift and close up the restaurant outside. I hadn't received a call from Miya, let alone a text.

"That's odd?" I mumbled to myself.

"What is?" I heard Kojiro say behind me.

"Miya hasn't called or text me at all today, I'm a little worried," I looked up at him.

"The kids tough, I'm sure he's fine and your just paranoid," he exclaimed.

"Yea maybe," I turned my head away.

I felt him grab my wrist and take me towards the town. I pulled my wrist away and just walked next to him, the place is crowded with lots of people and animals. We wear walking towards an antique shop for my office when something caught my eye. A skateboard. I stopped in my tracks and walked into an alleyway.

Kojiro was already way ahead of me as I picked it up, there was a very familiar purple x in the centre and colourful creatures on the back.

"Kaoru there you are, why'd y-," I heard him stop mid sentence.

"This-this is Miya's!" I exclaimed.

I ran into the alleyway and dropped the skateboard at the sight in front of me.

"What the fuck!" I said under my breathe.

"What is i-," he paused.

I ran towards it, "IT'S MIYA!" I yelled.

Kojiro ran towards us, "Sit him up right!"

I sat him straight up causing his arms to drop to his sides, blood stained his hoodie. He had bruises all over, a busted lip, blood poring from his head and what looked like a broken wrist. His worst injury was definitely his stomach, I lifted up his hoodie and saw what had happened, someone had stabbed him, more than once. I felt tears escaping my eyes as I turned to Kojiro, holding Miya close.

"DON'T JUST STARE YOU DOPEY GORILLA!" I screamed, "CALL AN AMBULANCE! NOW!"

He quickly dialed the emergency number and an ambulance arrived 10 minutes later. We couldn't ride in there with him because we weren't family. I called shadow.

"Shadow I'm sending you my location, me and Joe need a ride to the hospital," I said chocking back tears.

"Alright I'll head over now but have you guys heard from Miya?" He asked.

"We'll explain in the car, just come get us," I was almost yelling.

I hung up as I felt tears building up again. I didn't want to lose Miya, we had basically adopted all the kids and Shadow was the unofficial uncle. It was like a little family we had, I couldn't let it fall apart. Shadow arrived in 5 minutes and we rushed to the hospital.

"Mind telling me what's happening, you look really worried Cherry?" He questioned.

"It's Miya, he uhmm," Kojiro spoke up, "His life is in danger, and we found him in an alley with life threatening wounds."

I felt the car speed up and we arrived in less than 3 minutes. I didn't even let the car come to a complete stop before running out.

"Is Miya Chinen here?" I asked the receptionist.

"Yes, what's your relationship with him?" She questioned.

"I'm a guardian to him," I quickly answered.

"Okay then, unfortunately he cannot have visitors at the moment but we'll let you know when you can see him," she looked worried for me.

I made my way over to a chair and was met by Kojiro and Shadow.

"What's the situation with him?" Kojiro asked.

"They're not allowing visitors right now but we can see him as soon as possible," I responded.

Kojiro sat next to me and with that I broke down, I was sobbing uncontrollably into his shoulder as he held onto me. I was gripping onto his shirt so tightly that I almost ripped through it. Shadow sat on my other side and rested his head to try and fall asleep, I swear I could hear a few cry's come from him too.

"Should we tell the kids?" I heard Kojiro asked.

"Not yet, when he wakes up," I replied.

"Okay, he'll be fine you don't need to worry," he was doing his best to comfort me.

"If only I was there! I could've protected him!" I was yelling into his shoulder, "He's only 13! This shouldn't be happening to him!"

I fell asleep in Kojiro's embrace soon after and wondered what could've happened.
