I'm coming.... Kaila....

Ichiru and I stand at the entrance of the hospital once again today. It's darker out now. The sun is just barely visible. By the time I'm out of here, it'll be dark. We enter and the kind nurse from the phone call greets us. She was waiting.

"Hey, erm, do you mind if he comes with us?" I ask the nurse, referring to Ichiru.

"Um, sure." She hesitated. But I know she only agreed because she knew how much grief I was in.

She leads us down a few hallways until we reach a section of the hospital that is strictly for babies. She leads us to a room with a bunch of infants in little beds. She takes us to a back room of the little nursery, where she leads us to a little, clear box with holes in it. Inside is a small baby girl. Kaila.

Kaila is bundled up in a pink blanket. She has a small patch of hair on her head. Her skin looks so soft and she is definitely smaller than most infants would be. Her eyes are closed, but I can assume that they are a blue color like mine. She's beautiful.

Tears prick at my eyes. This is the only survivor of my family. She's all that's left. She'll never meet her parents. She'll never know what good parents she had. She'll have to grow up with me instead. The tears start streaming down my face.

I feel Ichiru's hand on my shoulder and I look back at him. He smiles at me and I smile back. I turn and hug him. He hugs me back and I can only let the tears fall until I hear a small cry. I look back at the little box that holds my sister. She's crying. Her face is red and she is crying pretty hard.

The nurse sighs and tells Ichiru and i that we should go. I want to protest, but decide not to. Ichiru and I leave the nursery and head out of the hospital.

Once outside, Ichiru turns to me. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay . . ." I reply sadly.

"Is there something I can do to make you feel any better?"

I look at the sky. It's covered in a blanket of stars. I then look at Ichiru and he is looking at me with a sad smile. I hate seeing him sad. Especially when it's because of me. I kiss him quickly. When I pull back I look away embarressed and I start walking away. He quickly follows me and grabs my arm, turning me around.

He kisses me passionately. I'm hesitant at first, but slowly melt into the kiss. I put my hands on his waist as his fingers run through my hair. He licks my bottom lip and I open my mouth letting him enter. We fight for dominance, but I give up and he wins. We stay like this for a few seconds before we have to break for air.

I look at him and smile. "I'm better now..."

He just returns the smile and grabs my hand, lacing our fingers together. We walk back to my house.

We are standing on my front porch. Ichiru has to go home. I'll be alone. I don't want him to leave just yet, but he said his parents would get mad if he showed up even later than it already was. I told him I understood and he was about to leave.

"I'll text you when I get home, okay, bear?" He says, taking my hand in his.

I nod, "Okay."

He walks away with a small wave. I'm left alone in my empty house. I walk inside and go to my parents' room. I lie on their bed and curl up in a ball. I cry softly, waiting for the text from Ichiru.

I think about Okaasan. She could have been here. She could have been laying right here, but she isnt. This makes me sob quietly. I miss her, and my dad too. I miss them both so much. I'll make sure Kaila knows what amazing people they were.

My phone beeps. Its Ichiru.

Ichiru:
Hey :) are you okay?

Me:
I'm okay I guess... I
miss you...

Ichiru:
Will you be at school tomorrow?

Me:
I guess...

Ichiru:
Okay :) I'll see you then?

Me:
Yeah.... we
Should go to sleep
Now....

Ichiru:
Okay, goodnight! I love you.

Me:
Goodnight.... I
Love you too...

After that, there were no more texts. I scroll through some of my social medias before I take out my headphones and plug them into my phone. I turn on my music.

The first song to play is Baby Blue Eyes by A Rocket To The Moon. I hum along to the song until I finally fall asleep.
