I found you in April

Searching

Eventually, doctors brought news of Kaori's condition to Kousei. 

"She is badly hurt. This is something you must understand. Her condition is not life-threatening however. We do not believe she has suffered brain damage. She is extremely lucky. It will take her a while but I'm glad to tell you, she will be just fine!"

I think I nearly crushed the doctor's ribs with the strength of the hug I gave him.

"Thank you so much."

"Sir, you two seem very attached. I overheard my colleagues mention the fact that she sat up in the ambulance and kissed you before falling back into a state of unconsciousness. I don't know if you believe it but I truly think she is fighting for you. We believe she has a hairline fracture in her skull. Any other person in her situation would be knocking on death's door but she's special. Her love for you is more powerful than nature and even fate itself. We have to do a few procedures to make sure we are not missing anything but I think you're the first person she will want to see when she awakens. I will let you know when the last of the procedures is finished so you can make your way to the room she is in."

"Thank you doctor. Believe it or not, I only met her two days ago. But when I met her, something just lit up inside me. Call it a passion if you will but she means everything to me. I can't lose her."

"I can see that kid. Any other teenager would have ran away at this point but you have stayed at her side this whole time. I wish you two the best. I commend you for your bravery."

"I promised her. I have to be strong for her."

The doctor patted Kousei on the back and returned to Kaori's room where they were about to begin what would be a long day of tests. She still had not woken up but Kousei sensed she was with him. She existed inside him.

Watari had gone to school so Kousei was on his own again. He didn't have anything to do but he couldn't go to school. The second she opened her eyes, he would be there. He was never leaving her side again. 

"Kousei, sleep. Please. I'll be okay."

"Sing for me."

"WHA-"

"Twinkle Twinkle. Sing it to me."

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are...."

Kaori's POV

He was out like a light. He had been fighting the urge to sleep for God knows how long. He wasn't moving an inch. He was staying with me and that was that. It made me love him even more. I started to tear up. Nobody could see me so I could cry all I wanted. I let it all out. I couldn't feel any physical pain in this form but I could feel emotional anguish. I loved him so much it hurt. Tsubaki's betrayal hit me at my core. Watari's anger made me scared and anxious. But Kousei made me hopeful. I would get out of this and I would be with him no matter what. I loved him. God I love him.

Watari's POV

I couldn't keep my head clear. I pass the music room every time I go to class and every time I do I'm reminded of Kaori and the fact that someone we both would've called our best friend had put her there.

No matter what I tried to do, I couldn't rid myself of that image. Kaori hated when I let hatred and anger get to me. But it wasn't getting to me here. Oh no no no. It was taking over. I was raging. Soccer practice at lunch brought this out in me. I was more aggressive than I had ever been. I kicked the ball so hard it broke the net. I imagined the ball was Tsubaki.
