Rin's Point of view
I stopped everything I was doing to run down to the hospital. Anger, and so much confusion... What happened to her? How did she get where she got? Who done this to her? What made her run away? How... Will I move on from this?
I finally get there and pressure a receptionist to let me in. She finally allows me to go to the room. I slam open the door and... My worst fears are realized... A pale, young girls face, lays in a single bed, with a monitor strapped to her. A single green line, sits, perfectly straight, under a few numbers that all read zero.
Mei.. Is gone... I can't believe what I'm seeing. It's 3am, and I'm standing here, wishing and hooping for a sign of life in the girls body. Nothing... I stood there for about 15 minutes before moving a muscle... I finally decide to move a few feet towards her bedside. But I can't hold it in anymore. I fall to my knees, and sob. I cry and cry like a 2 year old who got his toy taken away... Or a 4 year old who had to go to school for the first time, scared of being separated my his parents.
When I sit up, I grab a chair, and pull myself up to sit. I sob some more. I hiccup with each breath I inhale. I feel so weak... If I had just followed her, I could have saved her from what was hurting her inside. I know she was... It was obvious since we have spoken in the phone. Her tone of voice, her expression when she saw Sousuke. Everything... It's my fault...
"I'm sorry..." I mutter. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." I say repeat over and over again... "It's my fault...", I mumble.
"Don't blame yourself Rin." I hear a voice say. I deeper voice than mine. Osumu. He has been sitting in a chair in the corner all along. "Please... If anyone, the one that should be blamed, is me. I wasn't there for her. I should have answered the phone when she text me. I should have went there as soon as I got out of my job... Nothing would have happened if I was there. So please Rin, don't blame yourself."
A/N: sorry about the short chapter. Don't kill meh :(
