Fated To Love You

25th string - Breaking Point

MARCUS’ POV

I was suddenly in a daze.

After hearing that call, I didn’t know what to do since it was a hospital staff who called me, telling me that Yuri was in a car accident 4 hours ago.

I felt wanting to blame myself for what happened to her. Since, 4 hours ago, that was the last time that we were together. And I wasn’t there for her when that happened. I was looking for Rin this whole 4 hours not thinking of Yuri at all.

“This is all my fault.” I blurted out as I was about to choke into tears.

“H-hey, calm down. Calm down. Why don’t we just go to the hospital now? Nothing’s more important than you being on her side right now. So calm down and let’s go.” Rin told me and that helped me for a bit.

Right. I should get a grip of myself and pull myself together.

I have to be at her side at this moment.

So, we drove off. But it felt like the journey took so long even though it’s just a 30 minute ride going to the hospital. Even the air felt sorrowful. Rin must have also felt sorry for what happened to Yuri. I know she’s also worried and I should have not dragged her into this, but I have no one to tell right now but her. And even though I was sort of selfish at that part, for I know she was the right person to say this with. I know she will understand me the most.

I parked the car and we went out of it forgetting that it is still raining. We hurriedly went inside the hospital even if we were both drenched from the rain. I went inside running. I wasn’t even thinking whether Rin could catch up to me. All that is on my mind is that I have to get there to wherever Yuri is.

I feel so sorry for her, since this should be my fault.

I was finally outside her room. Room 411. I held on to the door that as if my life depends on it. But then there was a part of me so afraid to se Yuri now.

How would she look now? Would she hate me? Would she want to see me?

I was afraid that I was almost at the brink of not going in after all that I have gone through just to be here.

The little courage that I had, was gone.

I heaved a sigh.

Maybe I should just not appear.

But then a warm hand suddenly touched my shoulder.

“Pull yourself together and don’t even think that it was your fault that this happened. It was an accident. None of us ever wanted for it to happened so please be strong for her.” Rin told me.

She is right.

I should not waver.

Right now, Yuri needs me the most.

I went inside and Rin came in too.

“You can do this.” She told me.

I breathed in and went closer to the sleeping Yuri on her hospital bed. Slowly. Step by step. Even though I felt so much nervous for the first time in my life, I sat right next to her. She looked so normal just looking at her sleeping face. She’s indeed still that beautiful girl I fell in love with, just that now she’s here lying, with me not knowing when she will be waking up.

I held on to her hand tightly, thingking that this would help her wake up. Me, being at her side at the time she’d definitely need me the most.

It was my fault.

I was drowned into my thoughts when I felt Yuri’s hand moved.

“Y-yuri!” I called her and slowly, her eyes finally opened.
