Langa's POV: 7:05pm Tuesday, June 14th
"I- I'm sorry..." Reki weakly apologizes. If I wasn't already sobbing more than I have in awhile, I am now. I am trying to control my emotions. I hate crying infront of people, the only person that I have ever cried infront of is my mom and... ... it feels weird for some reason. Crying, I don't really know why. It just feels awkward.
"no. Reki... no. Don't apologize." I tell him quietly, almost under a hushed breath. Angrily almost. The rest of the car ride is silence, away from the occasional groan of pain from Reki whenever we went over a bump or a pothole(help I almost wrote pothead)
(Also, FYI, I have no idea how the Japanese healthcare system is, and I am about as Japanese as an American so here we go -author)
7:30pm Tuesday, June 14th.
When we do get to the hospital, me and Miya get out of the back, and Joe lifts Reki, when we get to her hospital, To avoid any legal stuff, Joe and Cherry decide to take the role as his guardians. (No I ain't getting any parents involved)
*skips all the important hospital stuff because I don't know how to write that*
"He was seriously injured while skating, fell while doing a really high Ollie and fell in a weird position." Joe tells the nurse as a bunch of doctors lay Reki on a bed of some sort and took him begging some doors. The nurse writes something down.
"Thank you, please give us 30 minutes." The nurse tells us, as she walks away, clipboard in hand.
Langa's POV: 7:45pm, Tuesday June 14th.
"He has 3 broken ribs and a hyperextended ankle tendon, he has fractured his wrist in 3 places, nothing needing of surgery though, and the bleeding on his head was just from a laceration of concrete. Although, he does have a grade 2 concussion." The nurse pauses mid sentence, " we did find... some, repeated, deep, and violent lacerations on his upper arms and thighs. We suggest you to investigate further on that, as they seem to be about a good 12-24 hours old, and definitely have nothing in association with his other injuries." The nurse tells us that and walks off.
I freeze. Realization hitting me all over again. Tears well in my eyes, but I try not to cry.
Joe, Cherry, and Shadow realize, and tense up. Miya's eye's widen and he asks "Where is his room?! Can we go visit him!?" Miya sounds panicked deeply.
"No, I am sorry, we have to wait for some more scans on his neck, as we need to make sure he's safe enough to be comfortable, but you can wait in the lobby." Everyone seemed angered, but listened to her. And we went to the lobby.
It was surprisingly empty, and silent. Nobody wanted to talk, all wrapped up in their own thoughts. The silence was deafening.
Especially in this room.
I say in the waiting room. Silently. Miya sat next to me. Tense and tearing eyed. Joe sat about 2 seats off from Miya, and next to him sat Cherry, leaning his head on Joe's shoulder. Joe had his head tilted downwards, and he seemed deep in thought. Shadow sat a seat apart from me, arms crossed. He glanced to the door and back to the room often,
I started thinking about what the lady said...
All of Reki's injuries... man... I Shake a little bit and tear up, but try to hold it back.
"Deep, repeated, and violent lacerations on his upper arms and thighs..." the nurses words stuck with me. His cuts... I still need to talk to him. He needs help.
