Love hurts { TomTord | Hanahaki }

Chapter 2

I wasn't able to sleep all night.
Right when I closed my eyes I rushed up to those horrible petals forcing their way out of me.

When morning finally came I didn't even bother to come out of my room for breakfast.
Of course Edd, being the motherly friend he is, came to check-up on me.

" Tord.? Are you feeling okay? " he said softly

" I'm just feeling sick today..didn't mean to worry you..Edd. "

My response was raspy and just above a whisper.

" Ok..I'll bring you some medicine and soup. "

I gave him a light nod of my head even tho he wasn't able to see me.
Thanks to the lights being out and the curtains closed.

A few minutes later he came back with the Soup, as well with the pills and water.

I sat up slowly, instantly regretting it as my whole body was in pain.
Not worse than half my body being shredded by an explosion, but it still hurt.

He set the tray down on my bedside table and started taking my temperature.

" 99.6 ...not a fever. That's good. Just rest up and you should be better by tomorrow. I'll check-up on you in an hour Tord. " he smiled and left.

I wasn't even able to look at the food.
My stomach just turned and did summersaults every time I even smelt the air.

I felt a tickle in my throat and lightly coughed.
Two petals came out onto my hand covered in blood.

For some reason, every time I thought or looked at Tom my condition got worse.

I had enough of not knowing what was happening and walked over to my desk and opened my laptop.

Why am I coughing up flowers.?

I searched.

I clicked the first link and started reading.

The hanahaki disease is a disease caused by one sided love.
It happens when someone starts to have feelings for someone who can't return those feelings.

The victim will start to cough up flower petals for the first week.
The color of the petals will be the crushes favorite color or colors having different meanings.

Said victim will have about 3 months and 2 weeks to get the disease cured.
There are two options.
Get the one you love to love you back, or get the surgery to get the seed removed.

However, the victims crush cannot date them out of pity or else the victims flowers will grow faster.
Having the disease spread at faster rates around inside and outside the body.

Thus causing the victim to have only 1 month left.
Flowers will start to grow out of fresh wounds and on skin over scar tissue.
Avoid getting any injuries and focus on removing the seed.

If the crush loves you back and it's real, the flowers will leave.
It takes about a week for them to all escape your body.
If you do not wish to get the surgery or your crush can't return the feelings, then drink water every time you feel the flowers.

I stopped reading.
This has to be a joke..right?
There's no such thing as the hanahaki.

I decided to try and eat the soup.
I took the pills and drank the water, then ate.

Edd had Tom come and check-up on me because him and Matt when to the store to buy more food.

" I bet you aren't even sick, Commie.
You're just tricking us again so we'll forgive you and then you can kill us again. Admit it, Commie bastard. "
Tom started rambling.

I felt the flowers come up again and I tried my best to keep them down.
I couldn't have him knowing.

I've loved Tom ever since Highschool, but he would never love me back.
I'm a monster.

I drank the rest of the water quickly in hopes to keep myself from exploding flowers.

The tickling went away but soon came back.
I couldn't take it anymore so I started talking, in hopes to distract myself.

" I'm not planning anything, Jehovah.
Now go back to mommy and daddy.
Oh wait, they're dead. " I smirked.

Tom pounced on me after that.
He held my throat tightly.

I started to claw at his hands in hopes he would let go but he wasn't letting up.

My eyes widened as I felt the flowers forcing their way into my mouth, begging to be released.

I kneed Tom in the groin.
He let go and held himself in pain.

" Commie bastard! " he yelled.

I took this as a chance to run to the bathroom.
I locked the door and suddenly I was violently coughing and choking up flowers.
I felt thorns grow in my throat and it was agonizing.

I started to cough up a lot of blood.

I didn't even hear Tom banging on the door.

I didn't hear the door get kicked down.

I didn't hear the screams of Edd and Matt when they came home.

I didn't hear anything as I blacked out.

Love hurts.
Doesn't it..
