Will You Remember Me? [Kagehina]

Chapter 5

//Hinata's POV//

My eyes slowly fluttered open as the warm sunlight came filtering in through the window and was cast upon my face. Though I was still groggy and tired from just waking up, I couldn't help but grin as my mind gradually began to awaken with the memory of last night's events. I was so thrilled and overjoyed with how everything was so perfect in my life, reminding of a puzzle. And that puzzle was made up of all these different pieces or events, and each piece had a place where it fit perfectly, creating this beautiful, complex picture that was my entire life. But maybe this puzzle, which represented my life, was all too easy and too perfect to be true because there may be some unwanted negativity lurking in the shadows, unseen by any of us, that would interrupt the peacefulness in my life. I shook my head, trying to dismiss the intruding thoughts. I was probably just being paranoid about everything, right? I shouldn't be spending my time worrying about something as simple as my life being peaceful for once.

I sat up in my bed, moving the orange mess of my hair out of my eyes and grabbed my phone seeing that it was the weekend so I had the day off. Maybe I should ask Kageyama if he wants to meet up at the park to practice volleyball... I thought to myself as I opened my contacts and pressed on the picture of the setter, who looked extremely angry that I had taken a picture of him. I chuckled to myself as I remembered how Kageyama had chased me around the gym trying to take my phone away from me, but he ended up tripping on a volleyball which only made him angrier and caused me to laugh even more.  

I quickly typed, "Hey! Kageyama! Do you want to come to the park with me to practice?" and pressed the send button. Once I knew that the message had been delivered, I got up to go get ready for the day ahead. 

As I pulled on my fresh clothes I heard the ding of my phone's ringtone and rushed to see Kageyama's response to my question, only it wasn't Kageyama. It was just some random e-mail about some stupid ad no one cares about. I flopped down on my bed not knowing what to do while I waited for a response from him. I guessed that he was still asleep since it was just barely past 9:00. 

I walked quietly down the stairs and stepped into the kitchen where I found a small note. I picked it up and unfolded it and revealed the small, neat handwriting. 

I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye, but I'm taking Natsu to a friend's house this weekend because I have to leave town for a couple of days. There is plenty of food for you in the fridge and I hope that you are capable enough to make yourself a meal without burning the house down. Please make sure you stay in contact with me and I will come home as soon as possible! 

Love, Mom

I placed the paper back on the counter as a great idea passed through my mind. "What if I invited Kageyama to stay over while they're both gone... we would be alone... at my house... by ourselves... without interruptions..." I grinned wickedly as I whispered these somewhat dirty thoughts out loud. Now I definitely needed Kageyama to stay at my house for a few nights. I bit down on my lip, imagining some of the events that could be taking place inside of my house. I felt my face start to heat up at all the different thoughts but I quickly shook my head, trying to erase my dirty fantasies. 

Glancing at the pale yellow clock hanging on the wall I decided that Kageyama must be awake by now because it was almost 10:00. I walked back to my room and found my phone which was sitting on my desk. As I reached my hand out to grab it, my phone's ringtone started to go off and was loud enough that it caused me to jump back in surprise. Picking up the phone, I read the caller idea "Bakageyama". That's weird... he never calls and he almost never texts me. I wonder what happened... Hesitantly, I pressed the "accept" button and held the phone to my ear. 

"H-hello?" I heard shaky, panicked breathing on the other line and it sounded as though Kageyama, or whoever this was, was on the verge of tears. 

"He- he was- oh god..." The person stuttered out, trying to suppress the noticeable sobs that were escaping their mouth. The voice on the other line was clearly not Kageyama because it sounded too feminine. 

"What happened to him?" I choked out while fear and worry spread throughout my body. The sobs on the other end become louder and sounded more and more desperate by the second.

"He was hit. Badly." The voice on the other end finally broke down into a sobbing mess.  

I stopped breathing. I couldn't comprehend what I had just heard. My brain stopped and my body froze, like a deer in the head lights, as the words started to sink in. 

"Where is he at?" I said in a raised voice as I rushed towards the door, waiting to know which direction Kageyama was in. I grabbed my bike from the side of the house and waited for the response from who I presumed was Kageyama's mother. 

"At the hos-hospital," the voice on the other line paused for a moment, trying to catch their breath, "please hurry." The voice went silent and I heard the dial tone signifying that they had hung up. 

Those last two words made everything around me seem to blur as my mind went numb and tears started to well up in my eyes. Please tell me this is all a nightmare... Please, please, please, please... But I knew that this was all real and that I just didn't want to accept that Kageyama was laying in a hospital bed somewhere, slowly losing what little grip he had on his life.
