♡Under my Umbrella♡ | -A Zane~Chan story-

ღChapter 12: Blinded from those who worried ღ

Phoenix Drop Hospital

9:05 AM ( Before the Incident in Kawaii Chan's perspective. )

Kawaii~Chan POV

The last thing I remember were the words, "Embrace myself", before lying unconscious.

I opened my eyes

I was lying in a hospital bed in a room.

There were flowers and a pink teddy bear.

My friends..

How could I forget about them? I made them suffer.

I'm a cruel person.

Someone suddenly opened the door.

She was a nurse.

"I see you just woke up. How are you feeling?" she asked in a calm, patient voice.

It felt weird being awake. I was extremely exhausted, but yet energetic?

I could move my legs freely and my right arm could swing.

All these gesticulations...but yet-

I couldn't move my left arm; it hurt...

I let out a slight yelp.

"Oh! Careful, you don't want to move your wounded forearm that quickly. It's still going through a healing process." she ensured me

Oh..that's right...my forearm is wounded..

"Oh..sorry. I kinda forgot." I said quietly

"It's perfectly fine! You don't need to say sorry. You barely woke up after being unconscious." she said

Right..that's Kawaii~Chan for ya! Saying 'sorry' to everything..

She gave me a smile before exiting the room.

The Doctor came in shortly after she departed.

~Time Skip~

I luckily didn't get injured in my veins. That would've been real bad.

I could've been paralyzed and never would've been able to move my left forearm again.

Aphmau, Aaron, Laurance, and Garroth suddenly bursted into the room.

"KAWAII~CHAN YOU'RE OKAY!" Aphmau yelled happily

She was breathing heavily. I could tell she had been anxious and apprehensive.

I'm so sorry for putting you through that pain Aphmau.

You don't deserve it..

I set aside my emotions and gave her a big hug.

Aaron smiled.

"We were all worried about you Kawaii~Chan" said Garroth

"Yeah, we're so fortunate that you're even healing right now. We'll heal through this together." Laurance said.

"Thank you Aphmau~Senpai, Aaron~Kun, Garroth~Kun, and Laurance~Kun." I said smiling

This made me happy. To know there was people who cared about me. How could I have been so blind?

Laurance's words affected me positively. 'We'll heal through this together'.

Together huh?

I looked around the room. Katelyn wasn't there. Who called the ambulance? Nobody else was in the house besides her. I could've sworn.

"Where's Katelyn~Sama?" I asked Aphmau

"She's right her-huh? I could've sworn she was right behind us?" Aphmau said confused.

Katelyn..?

I tried getting up but Aphmau quickly pressured me to sit back.

"No! Kawaii~Chan you need to rest. I'm sure Katelyn probably wants to speak to you in private so she's waiting." Aphmau said trying to ensure me.

I couldn't believe it. I sensed something was wrong, I'm not sure why.

I heard something. My high sense of hearing..

"You're a monster."

"It could even be possible that you're responsible for this incident."

"Oblivious right now!"

W-what's going on? My heart sunk at the word "monster"

I had to see what was going on. I forcefully got up and ran swiftly towards the doorway and stood still with Aaron, Garroth, and Laurance behind me. Aphmau placed her hands on my shoulders.

My eyes widened.

I was able to depict everything at the single scene.

I saw Katelyn with her right fist clenched and her left hand tugging Zane's flannel.

Zane looked horrified.

I was very bewildered.

Zane focused his eyes towards me in panic.

He then pushed Katelyn, knocking her over on the floor, and sprinted towards the hallway, pushing nurses out of the way.

"ZANE!" Garroth suddenly yelled and followed him quickly.

Why would Katelyn do this?

Everyone was silent.

"Kawaii~Chan...you should go back to bed. You look tired." Aphmau said with a hint of sadness in her words.

"Hey Aaron and Aph, I-I'm just going to hang around with you guys for now.." Laurance said

I walked towards my bed and plopped on it. It was quite comfortable for a hospital bed.

"Why don't we just catch up and talk for a bit..?" Aaron calmly remarked.

"S-sure" Aphmau responded looking down.

"Is Zane~Kun going to be okay?" I asked quietly.

Nobody responded.

Katelyn then walked slowly inside the room, facing the floor.

She stood there quiet for a few seconds.

"Clearly..it's not suiting for me to be here right now. I......ruined the mood." Katelyn said and exited the room.

I could feel an aura surrounding her. She didn't feel guilt for her actions. She did not feel any sympathy.

...She felt pride.
