Stick To The Shadows

Chapter seven

     When I woke up it was to the sound of birds chirping outside. My eyes fluttered open and I squinted at the bright light. I sat up in a bed that wasn't my own. I was alone in what looked like the infirmary. There was tight bandages wrapped around my abdomen and I was left in a sports bra and the spandex from underneath my skirt. I looked around almost as if I was in a daze. "What the hell?" I mumbled and swung my feet off of the bed. My hair was down, which was very unusual for me. It was a foreign feeling since I always had it up. I grabbed a lock of my shiny pink hair and pushed it behind my shoulder. There was a bit of difficulty with walking. I don't know why I'm so shaky. Maybe I'm still fatigued from getting hit with Gojo's attack.

      Speak of the devil. Gojo slammed open the door and then closed it very fast. "They're like animals!" I cocked and eyebrow and leaned on the bedside table. "What?" Gojo sighed and locked the door. "Your classmates are very desperate to check on you. I told them that I'm not sure how safe it is to be around you though." I raised my lip in question. "Safe to be around me? Gojo I can barely walk." He chuckled and stepped back from the door only for someone's fist to brake through the door, feel around and then unlock the door. The hand disappeared behind the door and it opens, revealing Yuji, Kugisaki, and Megumi who all flood into the room. "Y/n! We were so worried about you!" Yuji tries to run over to me but Gojo stops him.
"Woah there! We still don't know how safe it is to be around Y/n right now."

     Yuji flopped on the ground and I laughed a little to hard because I felt my side nearly rip open and a little bit of blood comes out of my mouth. I wipe it from my chin and stare at it. "What the hell?" Megumi pushes past Gojo and stalks over to me, wiping the remaining blood from my chin. "Are you ok? Sit down." He helps me sit down and Gojo gives up letting the other to come over to me. "She'll be ok in about an hour or so." Shoko is standing in the doorway with her arms crossed. I furrow my brows but Kugisaki beats me to it. "What do you mean?" She yawns a bit. "When Y/n ripped that flower out of her side it had already attached to her organs even though it healed up a bit she's still bleeding internally. I'm operating on her today." She waves me over and I stand up shakily. Yuji stands up to help me walk and we follow Shoko but not before she scolds Megumi. "You should be in bed!"

     I woke once again in the infirmary feeling just like new. Only this time I didn't wake up alone. A second bed was in the room that Megumi sat in. Yuji and Kugisaki sat in between them. I yawned and stretched out, sitting up. "Y/n! You're all right!" Yuji flopped onto my bed and wrapped his arms around my stomach. I ruffled his hair. Missing the feeling of my little brother. "Yeah, I'm alright Yu." I said in a hushed voice and Kugisaki cleared her throat. My eye twitched "oh can it Kugisaki! My brother has been dead for like two months, let me have this!" She sighs and gets up. "I'm getting takeout then. Pizza good with everyone?" We all nodded and I pushed Yuji off of me and jump over to Megumi's bed. "MmmmMegumi!" I held out the m in Megumi's names and saying it really fast.

    He rolled his eyes and threaded his fingers in my hair. "On second thought- Kugisaki wait up!" Yuji shot up and ran out of the room to catch up with Kugisaki. I chuckled and leaned into Megumi's touch. "Your hair is down." He mubles and I roll onto my back, on his outstretched legs. I hummed "yeah, the nurse took it out of my ponytail." I sat up and stretched out once more. "You scared me back there ya know? Your not supposed to be getting hurt like that anymore got it?" Megumi sighed softly and nodded. I grabbed my head and pulled at my hair. "Also! You gotta stop trying to kill yourself man!" His eyes widened "well I-" I cut him off and grabbed his shoulder's harshly. "Listen to me Megumi! Don't limit yourself to what you can do now! You have crazy potential so don't waste your life like that." He seemed very surprised at my sudden outburst. "How you even know about that?" I huff "what do you take me for? An idiot? I'm not gonna get romantically involved with someone I haven't stalked at least once."
