Pain - #43

Last time: Meiko, Miku and Rin got into a fight.

Miku's PoV

I wake up to see an unfamiliar room.

"Huh!?" I sit up quickly, which was apparently a bad move, because a sharp pain gets sent through my head.

Rin is in the corner of the room, and there is the school nurse, who is typing away on her laptop.

Rin jumps out of her seat and runs over to the bed I am sitting on.

"Miku! Are you okay?!" She asks.

"No.... what happened?" I ask. I put a hand on my forehead and realise that I have a bandage or something around my forehead.

Rin combs her hand through my messy hair and sighs.

"I'll explain later." She whispers.

The nurse turns around in her seat.

"Ah, Hatsune-san, you're awake. How are you feeling?" She asks with a friendly smile.

"Argh.." I say as another spark of pain runs around my head. "My head really hurts.."

The nurse frowns.

"You should probably rest, hun. I'll get you an ice pack if you want." She says kindly.

I lie back down, wincing.

"Get the ice pack." Rin decides for me, and the nurse nods and hurries out of the room.

Rin turns back to face me.

I whine softly in pain as she shakes her head.

"Miku, I know your in a great deal of pain at the moment, but don't worry." She gently places her hand on top of mine. "I think you're very brave.. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything."

I sigh, still confused as to what happened to get us both in this situation.

"It's okay, Rin.." I whisper, closing my eyes.

Then the nurse comes back and handed Rin the icepack.

Rin moves my bangs out of the way and gently places the ice pack on my forehead.

I shudder as the ice comes in contact with my skin.

"Keep that there." Rin orders.

"Okay.." I reply.

===========================

Minutes feel like hours.

Very long and painful hours.

Rin stayed by my side the whole time, comforting me every time the pain gets worse.

The bell eventually goes to signal the end of the day.

I wince at the loud sound.

"How are you feeling now, Miku?" The nurse asks.

"Better." I say, hiding the lie with a small smile.

I don't feel better. I feel awful.

The nurse nods.

That's when there's a knock at the door. The nurse opens it and there is Luka.

Luka spots me and gasps.

"Miku, what happened?" She asks.
