Only Time Will Tell

Chapter 1: Forgotten

Nagisa's POV

"Ah! Karma-kun!" I yelled at him as he licked my ice cream.

"Hm... Not bad. But mine is better." He licked his own ice cream.

"No way! Cookies and cream is the best flavor!"

"Strawberry is obviously better."

I sighed. There's no pint in fighting with Karma-kun... I continued walking down the street while licking my ice cream. Even if he is like that, I can't help my feelings for him...

I looked at the sky. "So gloomy..." And we didn't bring an umbrella either.

Karma-kun looked at me, "Hm? Do you not want your ice cream, Nagisa?"

"What? Oh, of course I want i-- Hey!!"

Karma-kun grabbed my ice cream cone, interrupting me. He stuck his tongue out while running. I smiled and ran after him.

He shouted, "I payed for it, so I can eat it if I want!"

I shouted back, "No way!! You said that it'll be your treat for me!!"

Man, he runs real fast... He's way ahead of me...

He ran towards the road. I checked to see if there are any cars, which there weren't. He stopped in the middle of the road, "Come and get me, Nagisa!!"

I ran towards him, until I saw a truck coming down the road super fast!! It wasn't stopping at all, even with the red lights...

"Oh no!!"

I yelled as loudly as I can, "Karma-kun!! Look out!!" And pushed him out of the way, with as much strength as I can.

"CRASH!!!"

I felt extreme pain as I fell onto the ground, no energy left in my legs. Everything turned blurry, as I heard someone say, "Nagisa!!!"

That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

"Am I... gonna die...? No, not yet... Not... yet..."

Karma's POV

No way is this happening...

I got up, ignoring the ice cream cones I dropped, and ran as fast as I can towards Nagisa.

"Nagisa!!!"

I saw a sight I never wanted to see in my entire life, she was lying lifelessly in the middle of the road, bleeding badly from her head and body...

I held her, not caring that her blood was staining my uniform. She was unconscious... Everyone had crowded around us, shouting with fear.

"Someone call an ambulance!!" I yelled.

I then saw a woman who grabbed her phone and started calling.

I turned my attention back to Nagisa, and hugged her tightly, "Nagisa... I'm sorry..." I started tearing up.

It felt like an eternity waiting for the ambulance to come. Eventually I heard sirens from a distance which became louder and louder as they got closer. I saw the ambulance driving at full speed, and stopped. They came out with a bed, running towards me and Nagisa.

I lifted her up, and with the help of the workers, laid her down on the bed and went in the ambulance.

My heart was beating insanely fast as I sat down beside her, now heading to the hospital. They gave her an oxygen mask on the way.

I grabbed her hand and held it tightly with both of mine. "Nagisa... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...!"

The sirens were blaring as we drove along the gloomy road. It soon started raining heavily.

We arrived at the hospital, and they immediately brought Nagisa in an ICU room. As I was about to enter, a nurse stopped me, "I'm very sorry sir, but you have to wait outside. Thank you for bringing her here." She slightly bowed to me before she went in the room.

I was still in a daze, this was too much to take in. I sat down on a chair and sighed heavily, putting my head into my hands.

"It's my fault... It's my fault that she's here..."

I started crying uncontrollably.

"Karma-kun!!"

I turned to see Kayano, Nakamura, and Sugino holding umbrellas, running through the hallway.

They all looked frightened, "Where's Nagisa!?" Kayano asked.

I pointed towards the ICU room, not even bothering to look at them anymore.

Nakamura looked at the room, "What in the world happened?"

I looked away, not answering her.

They looked at each other before sitting down beside me. Sugino pat my back, "We're all worried too."

"It's all over the news. It seems like the driver was drunk, and wasn't paying attention to the road. He's being arrested right now." Kayano explained in a sad tone, looking down.

After a long moment of silence, Nakamura got up, "C'mon, let's just go. I doubt we'll be able to see her today."

We eventually agreed, until I saw a doctor going towards the ICU room. I asked him, "When will we be able to visit her?"

He answered, "...At least five days. We need to examine her, and perform surgery if necessary. We will contact you when it is possible."

Hearing that made my heart break... "I see..." I walked over to the other three, who were waiting for me.

Five days... That's way too long...

-Time skip-

It's been about a week, and I finally got word that I can visit Nagisa today. I got really excited, and I'm on my way to visit her right now.

I haven't been really active in school lately, I've been skipping most classes. Koro-sensei also announced what happened to Nagisa to the class. Most of the girls started crying, and they were all planning to visit her soon.

I stopped in front of Nagisa's room. I took a deep breath, and opened the door.

And there she was, sitting on her bed, looking towards my direction. Her hair was let down instead of her usual pigtails, and she was wearing hospital clothes. There were lots of bandages wrapping around her head and arms. A few tubes were attached to her arms.

I instantly ran towards her, and gave her a tight hug, "Nagisa! I'm so glad...!"

The nurse that was in the room quietly went out after she bowed to us.

I then started to notice that she was being quiet, and showing no reactions whatsoever. I looked down to her, and she was looking right back at me.

She showed me a nervous smile, and looked away before looking at me again.

"I'm sorry, but... Who are you?"

First chapter, done!

I know this story was pretty out of the blue, but I just felt like making a new story. I know the story isn't interesting, pretty cliche, actually. Buut... Oh well. Oh, and don't worry, the cover is only temporary.

I hope you will enjoy it anyway! By the way, I'm on a trip with my families, and I don't really have wifi. I haven't really been updating, sorry! But we're going home tomorrow, so yeah.

See you in the next chapter!
