The Depths of my Heart (Haruka x Reader)

The Visit

Your POV

I lazily dragged myself out of bed and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then, I put on ripped jeans and a plain, white t-shirt. I fixed my hair up into a bun, grabbed my side purse and converse and headed downstairs. Mom was sitting in the living room, reading something on her phone.
"Hey, Mom." I greeted her, timidly.
"Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling?"
As soon as she asked me that, I wanted to break down but I just said, "I'm fine."
"Good. Would you like something to eat?"
"No thanks, I'm going to the hospital."
"Alright, be safe. And share my condolences."
"Yeah, see you later."
"Call me when you get there."
"Will do." I said and headed out the front door.

(At the hospital)

"Um hi. I'm here to see Haruka Nanase." I told the receptionist.
"Room 236." She responded.
"Thanks." I said and began making my way around the hospital. Soon the room numbers began to grow closer. 220. 222. 224... 226. I sighed and pushed in the door.
I saw Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, Gou and even Rin, who I haven't seen in ages, all sitting beside the bed, talking.
I walked over until they noticed me.
"(Y/n)! You made it." Makoto smiled.
"Ha, hey guys. Rin, long time no see." I chuckled nervously. "How is he?" I made my way closer to the bed... There Haru was, he was not awake and the machine was set up to him. There were wires all over his body.
"I assume you're Ms. (L/N)?" A voice behind me said.
I turned to see a man wearing doctors clothes. "Y-yes sir." I replied.
"Great well, Haruka is doing fine. He just has to be under surveillance for a while. But it's really a blessing that he's a swimmer. If his lungs were not trained, he likely wouldn't have made it."
"Wait, how long was he under the water for?" I asked, feeling very apologetic.
"We estimated about... thirty to forty minutes. It may have been likely he was unconscious for ninety percent of the time. Heck, it's also a good thing you kids came in and saved him when you did."
Any later and it would've been a completely different story... "Thank you, doctor."
"Well we have to leave now, we've been here since three in the morning." Gou said, yawning.
"Also, I'm hungry." Nagisa whined.
I chuckled, "Okay, see you guys later then." I waved as they exited.
I pulled up a chair beside Haru's bed and sat there talking to his sleeping figure for hours. It was now six p.m. and I was falling asleep.
"I'm really glad that you're okay." I said squeezing his hand and resting my head on the bed, eventually falling asleep.

(3 Hours Later) Haru's POV

I began to wake up, I tried moving my arm but it was pinned, underneath the covers. I opened my eyes and turned my head to see what was keeping my arm down. (Y/N)... What is she doing here? I gasped.

Her body began to move until she sat up, yawning and rubbing her eyes. I stared at her in silence, then she looked at me. 

"H-H-Haru?" She asked with shock in her voice... "Y-you're aw-" Her voice cracked and tears streamed down her face, as she moved in and crushed me in a big hug. "I-I- was so worried, I'm s-s-o s-s-sor-ry." 

I didn't respond but I pulled her in tighter. After a few more sobs, she pulled away.

"Wh-why... why would you do that to us? All of us were worried sick, your mom, your dad, the swim team... Me. What the hell would I do without you, you big dummy." She covered her face with her hands.

"(Y-Y-N) I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do... I was stressed out, and I couldn't think straight."

"Clearly! Ugh, I-I'm so mad at you."

"(Y/N), I'm sorry. But, if this helps I have something for you..."

"Huh?" 

"My parents dropped off a few things for me when they visited." I coughed in between words, as my lungs were still not feeling great.. "If you check that duffle bag it should be in there."

I watched as she got up and walked over to my bag. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were wrinkled, indicating she was here for some time.

"(Y/N)?"

"Hmm?" She responded as she walked back over with the bag, placing it on the bed.

"How long have you been here?"

"I got here around... uh, I don't know... just very long."

"Thanks."

"No problem, Haru-chan."

"I thought I told you not to call me that."

"Why? It's cute."

I rolled my eyes and dug into the bag. My hand brushed against a box. Got it! I pulled it out and placed it into her hands. "Open it."

"W-what's this?" She began opening the box.

"Something I should've given to you since Christmas." 

Her face lit right up as the lid came off, "O-oh my gosh... Haru! This is beautiful!" She put it on immediately.

It was the necklace that I kept out of my jealousy...

"What the hell, why did you keep this away from me!?" She pouted.

"B-because... I-I...saw that Sosuke already got you one, and you obviously wouldn't want this one.

"Are you kidding me? I gave that piece of shit away. This is so beautiful! Way better than his. Thank you so much!" She leaned in and kissed me on my cheek.

My face flushed and I turned away before she could notice

"Hey um, Haru?"

"Yeah?"

"I have to confess...."

"Okay..."

"The reason why I didn't break up with Sosuke..."

"Mhm..."

"Well... you see. By the second month of us dating... I could already tell he was bad news. But, I just told myself, he's a good guy, he's just having family problems, blah, blah, blah. But one day I said something and he hit me. He apologized saying it was an accident and I believed him. A matter of fact... He was an abusive guy." She looked down at her lap. "I even overheard him talking about me with his dad saying that I'm just there to reproduce with and pleasure him, I'm not going to have any involvement with their business, I'm really just there for show." A tear began to stream down her cheek once again.

I really wanted to say I told you so but I couldn't, she looked so hurt. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a hug, "(Y/N)... You're better than that. Everyone know's it. If he couldn't see that, then he and his father are both idiots. I love you. Even if you don't feel the same way, you'll always be special to me." I pressed my forehead against her forehead and we continued to embrace each other for a little while longer.

"Thank you Haru, you're the greatest friend ever."

"I think you should go home and get some proper rest now."

"You're right. Oh, congratulations on the win by the way." She chuckled. "You were amazing. Also, because of the swim team's win, we decided to throw a pool party at the neighbourhood pool after graduation so get better fast okay."

I chuckled, "I will. Get home safely."

"I will, and I'll visit you as much as possible. But how long before you're released?"

"I should be in here until the last month of school, before grad."

"Okay, well, goodnight Haru. And thank Kami you're alright."

Finally updated! Wow, Haru sure is talkative here. Lol, hope you enjoyed! When this book comes to an end I have another book coming out, it's a Levi x Reader story but that's all I'm gonna say. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, it's quite different too :) -Thanks for reading!
