More than just your enemy (Sequel to "Doctor's Orders [RikkaXIra]")

Chapter: 7

Rikka's POV

I was lying down in bed, processing what had just happened just a few painful minutes ago.

I had brought Ira into the house and set him on one of the guest beds. I cleaned all his wounds and covered them to the best of my ability.

I left him to rest and went to my room instead, to try and find a solution. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think without bursting into tears instead

I couldn't believe that Ira would do such a thing! What could've made him so upset that he wouldn't even tell me... and he kept saying things that I couldn't understand

"ITS ALL MY FAULT!!! NO WONDER WHY EVERYONE THAT I HAVE EVER LOVED LEFT ME BEHIND!!! IM WORTHLESS!!! STUPID!! PIECE OF SHI-

"It's all I'm ever good for!"
"I always end up hurting people in the end..."

What was his fault? And who was he hurting?

These questions kept circling around my head. No matter how hard I try, I couldn't stop thinking about him. No wonder why my heart aches so much... it's as if I'm feeling his pain..

Ira's POV

W-What happened....?

I slowly open my eyes to reveal the ceiling.

How the hell did I get here...?

I turned to see the room that I was in. Without a doubt, I knew where I was

Here I am again...

Last time I was here, I was sick. So Rikka kept me in here for most of that time...

My head was hurting so much as I sat up. I looked at my bandages hands. I then realized that my hands were stained in blood..

As I stared at my hands, everything went blurry. I couldn't focus properly as I stared at my hands... I started to see double. I kept blinking to regain focus.

I tried to stand, but I immediately fell to the ground. I tried to remember what had happened before...

And the it hit me... like a tsunami washed me away.

I heard screaming in my head, and I heard crying. And I saw a women, pleading to a man.

When I snapped back to earth, I started to pant.

T-That happened a long time ago...
I thought

Why am I remembering this...? I thought that I shut this memory away forever...

That memory definitely wasn't what happened yesterday.. I tried to think harder.

I heard more screams from my head, but these felt more louder. I then pictured Rikka, and then... she disappeared...

I held my head, and my eyes widened...

What did I do...?

I looked around the room and found a mirror, I got up and limped. I lifted my shirt and the mirror showed me deep cuts and stains, bruises and scabs, all bandaged up
