Memory

-Might be a longer chapter this time. I was left alone at a friend's house and while they're at work and I'm BORED-

The girl is trembling on my doorstep. She's beaten up bad. Her mid-length brown hair is tangled and matted and there are a few scratches on her cheeks. I walk out on the doorstep to get a closer look and she flinches and backs up quickly, trembling more than before. I realize that she's afraid and I back up. She looks up at me with bloodshot blue eyes and whispers something in a small, shaky, shy voice. "H-haru ta-takahashi"
Ok hold up.... I've just gotta ask "How do you know my name? And.... why is your voice so familiar?"
"You don't remember.....do you"
She sighs and looks down at the ground before taking a step closer to me and looking into my eyes. "C-can I come in? I'm cold.... I p-promise I'll explain everything to you." I step back into the house and hold the door open for her. I couldn't let her just stand outside like that forever. "Sure.... Come right in" as she walks by me, nervously, into the house, I get a whiff of what smells like strawberry. She somehow smells nice.... Even after she went through god knows what.
"You're h-house is nice" she smiles slightly and looks at me. I nod "thanks, but follow me. My family is sleeping and I don't want to wake them" I walk to my room as she follows slowly behind me and I pull the chair away from my desk so she can sit down. She cautiously accepts the offer and I leave the room just for a second to get some bandages and things from the bathroom. "W-where are you going?" I hear her say as I walk out of the room. I look back at her and smile "stay here... I'll just be a second" she nods weakly and I return a few minutes later with peroxide, bandages, and a few other things I thought might be helpful. "Stand up and take off your shirt ok?" She looks at me and blushes intensely "wh-what?"
I smile and look at her, understanding why she would be embarrassed. "It's ok, We just need to get your injuries cleaned, alright?" She nods and slowly, shakily takes off her blue shirt that had been ripped almost to shreds, to reveal big bruises on her sides and cuts and scratches all over her chest, abdomen, and arms. I pour some peroxide on a cotton ball and start gently working at the cuts on her face, working downwards to her arms, then her chest, and eventually her abdomen, where they seemed to be the worst. "Haru?" I can tell she's getting more comfortable, as her voice is not as shaky as before. "Yes?" I look up at her. "You wanted to know who I was.... And how I know your name... Right?" I give a small nod "I really do" I set down the cotton ball beside me so that I can give her my full attention. "I'm.... I am Rubi Takishima." She says in a nervous voice "but you may know me better as...... As...... KawaiiNeko547" My eyes widen, recognizing the username and I back up, putting my hand over my mouth as I can't decide whether I want to smile, laugh, or cry.
