The mockingbird (Akashi Seijuro love story)

The explanation.

Trischia's Pov

The hospital was completely silent, it was in the middle of the night but I was completely unable to sleep. I had managed to persuade one of the nurses to leave the light in my room on. The only sounds that was heard, was the footsteps of the nurses and doctors as they passed by from time to time. They'd offered me some drugs that would help me sleep, but I refused them. Seijuro had been allowed to stay at the hospital for the night. He was sleeping silently in the bed beside mine. He hadn't noticed the light getting turned on. I watched him sleep in silence, he had his back turned to me, but I still smiled and shook my head still a bit at a loss for words. He'd won through in the end after all, I was furious that he'd risked getting hurt to make it happen... But this relief greatly overpowered the anger. Besides, it was no use getting mad if I couldn't even scold him properly for being that reckless. It soothed me that Tora had been imprisoned before I even made it to the hospital. He wasn't getting back out, that was what they'd told me, and I prayed that it was true. 

My back hurt despite the painkillers. My throat was still itching after I had screamed at Seijuro. Or well, at least after I tried to scream at him. I don't even know if he heard me at all back then. The idiot as he was. But I had at least succeded in one thing. I had managed to protect him. I wouldn't let anyone else get hurt anymore. Finally I had managed to give up on my fear and I had found my resolve. I wouldn't let Tora hurt more people. Not as long as there was something I could do about it, I sat with the pencil in my hand and wrote everything down in one of my school books. Memories I'd worked to suppress for years flooded my mind and I carefully wrote them down without leaving anything out. 

*Flash back*

The only thing I could feel was pure happiness. Me and mum were going to visit my dad! It was the first time I was ever going to see my dad. I wondered what he looked like. Was he a kind person? Would he love me like mum? I could barely wait. I was skipping down the road in front of mum. I was humming a happy tune whilst crossing the road. Suddenly momma shrieked and I felt her body slam into mine pushing me forward. I fell down at the sidewalk scraping my knees. I heard a loud bang and my mum screamed again. I turned around. Why was she screaming so terribly? I saw her laying on the ground,covered in blood. I got to my feet and ran over to her. I'd never seen that much blood before and it terrified me. 

"Mum! Let's go, you can't sleep there! The cars will hit you" I cried helplessly hoping she was just asleep. I heard the sound of tires screeching. A door being slammed shut. Suddenly a man crouched down beside me looking at mum. The man placed a finger on her throat.

"Can you help momma? Momma is hurt!" I cried to the man. He started saying bad words and stood up. I hugged momma tightly.

"Momma! Wake up! You can't sleep here!" I cried loudly. Suddenly I could feel someone picking me up. I tried to hold onto mum, but I was pulled away from her.

"Damn kid! She's dead got it?! Leave her!" The man said angrily. I cried even harder as I lost my grip on my mum. I tried to get away from the stranger but it was no use. He threw me inside the car and started driving away. I tried to open the door of the car, but it was locked, I banged at the window with tears flooding down my cheeks.

"Mum! Help me!" I cried trying to open the door to get away from the stranger.

"Oh just shut up you annoying bug!" The man yelled and I saw something coming flying towards my head. It hit me hard and I lost consciousness.

*Flashback ends*

The tears flowed down my cheeks as I again recalled the memory of when my mother died. But I continued writing as I again dove down into my past.
