Flowers for you

愛してる.

"Laina, are you spacing out again?" Renzyle asked as she looked down at Krystlaina...

She looked up at him and realized she did... Making him sigh. "I'm gonna guess you haven't gotten proper sleep..." 

Renzyle patted Krystlaina on her head. "Look, It's fine. You probably do this a lot... But just remember to keep taking your medicine, alright?"

Krystlaina nodded... Why would she think he would ever embrace her with their current status quo?

The school day had ended... She walked back to the dorms alone as her friends were busy... She wanted to collapse... Would anyone care if she did?

It felt like weights were slowing her down but she pushed herself forward with her head down...

By the time she finally went into the dorm room, she only saw Ferlein sleeping on the couch...

"Yeah... Just relax because I'm the one always making your work..." She thought to herself annoyed as she went into her room.

She remembered about her medicine... But she already has lied down on her bed... finding no motivation to get up and take her medicine, knowing she'll end up staying up later on to just do everything last minute.

 She knew the medicine didn't do anything but slow down the progression of the flowers growing in her lungs. The surgery was too expensive... She didn't want to be a burden to anyone, so she spoke about this to no one... She still hasn't moved on... She should've by now... She knew he moved on... It's been almost a decade... She'd rather let hanahaki progress more than anything.. She wasn't anyone important. She was simply a puppet for everyone around her.

She decided to get up and wander around the campus' garden. She wanted write. Just not here.

She sat at the nearby benches... The nearby lights were able to reach Krystlaina's notebook so she could see what she was writing...

The girl simply looked out the window, distracted by the different shops, scenery, and buildings the public transport passed by... She would steal glances next to her, looking at him before back out the window... She would also catch him taking glances at her...

That's impossible

She soon reached her destination and got up passing by him... She looked back and waved goodbye before getting off the transport entirely..

When she did, she looked back as the transport left.. She couldn't help but wonder what he reacted.

The next day, the girl was walking on the side walk to get to the same place to wait for a public transport... The boy came up to her and asked "Laina! Are you ok?"

The girl was surprised and turned to her old companion. "Yes, I'm fine... Why do you ask?"

"It's just that... You've been spacing out a whole lot recently..."

Renzyle was walking through the school garden as well, he soon saw Krystlaina writing in her notebook... It was her most recent habit... He just simply walked pass her, not wanting to disturb her...

✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯

She saw him and out of instinct, she stood up and almost reached out to him... She watched as he walked off, she hesitantly sat back down, looking back down at her notebook..

She felt lost.

Invisible even. She wanted a sense of direction, like how he used to help her out of her bubble.. Or, at least, how he tried.

He probably got tired of her.

She felt a sharp pang in her lungs and started coughing out fully grown sakura flowers, accompanied by her blood, catching Renzyle's attention and ran back over to her to help her somehow.

"Maybe, one day, I'll be able to help you completely... More than just helping you out of your bubble.."
