If Jealousy Could Kill

Chapter 31: Wake Up

Tomomi paced back and forth, wringing her hands together. It had been three hours since she and Haruna were brought to the hospital and out of those three hours, she had been out here pacing for an hour. She had already seen the doctors and gotten fixed, the cut Rina gave her wasn’t as bad as it had initially looked. Tomomi wouldn’t need stitches or anything, unlike Haruna who probably needed them. She would need to come back for checkups but right now, that and the bandages taped tightly to her face were the worst of it for Tomomi.

The doctors were quick to patch Tomomi up, only taking two hours after all the tests were finished. The doctors told her the worst part about her wound would be the permanent scar on her face, but it didn’t matter to Tomomi. All that mattered was knowing if Haruna would be okay. Tomomi had to fight the doctors to make them let her come down here for Haruna. She knew she needed rest but she couldn’t rest, she needed to know Haruna would be alive and well soon enough.

Tomomi didn’t know that though; no one knew that. The doctors hadn’t come out to speak with her, Mami and Miyuki had left some minutes ago to go check on Rina after getting a call from the brunette’s own doctors. Tomomi didn’t know which hospital they had taken Rina to; she only knew which type of hospital it was. She was doing her best not to think about Rina, she didn’t want to let her mind wander to any of that. She simply wanted to focus on Haruna right now.

“Miss Ogawa?”

Tomomi’s pacing came to a stop, her body whirling around to face the doctor who was now standing behind her. The injured brunette rushed over to the doctor, eager to hear whatever news he had to offer on Haruna.

“You shouldn’t be walking this much. Even if you cut was not life threatening, it’s still taken a lot out of you. You lost quite a lot of blood, you know. It’s best you sit down and get some rest,” the doctor scolded her. Tomomi whimpered softly, taking a step back from the doctor. When they had agreed to let her go wait for Haruna, one of the conditions was that she couldn’t stand too much. She knew her body needed its rest but she couldn’t very well just sit down while Haruna might possibly be dying in there.

“I’m sorry, sensei, but please… Tell me about Haruna. Is she okay?” Tomomi didn’t care about herself. Anything could happen to her; she just wanted Haruna to be okay. She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if something had happened to Haruna because of her.

The doctor sighed, running a hand through his hair. This was typical of couples. When both of them were in an accident, the first one treated would always care more about their partner than they did themselves. It could create trouble quite often. He could only be thankful that Tomomi was being relatively calm and not creating a scene, he still wished she’d allow herself a moment to rest though.

“Please come with me,” the doctor told her. Tomomi nodded before following the doctor down the hallway. They came to a stop outside of a room and Tomomi could only guess that it was the room Haruna was in.

“Is everything okay with her?” Tomomi feared the worst. What if Rina had done some serious damage to Haruna? She couldn’t handle that. She couldn’t even stomach the thought. She couldn’t imagine going back to living life without having Haruna by her side.

“I’m afraid that she went into circulatory shock soon after we attempted the transfer to the hospital.” Tomomi’s breathing stalled in her throat; she had no idea what that meant but from the look on the doctor’s face, she assumed it wasn’t a good thing.
