{ Part 7 ~ Invasion }

I eventually trudged my way back into the living room, picking my phone up from where I'd thrown it earlier..

18 unread messages and 2 missed calls from "Fumika"

5 unread messages from "Kirito"

Fumika's didn't surprise me, but Kirito? Messaging me?? I sighed and decided to check them.

9:45 - Hey nerd.

9:46 - Where the hell are you??

10:01 - Why won't you answer my freaking texts??

11:38 - Don't freaking ignore me.

3: 28 - .....i'm coming to your house, don't try and stop me.

Coming to my house?????

I checked the time; 3:32

Crap! He could be here any second now!!

I furiously texted back to him:

3: 32 - Don't come, please, the house's a mess and I'm fine

It wasn't completely a lie. The house was a mess. But in no way was I fine.

I checked my messages again:

Read, 3:32pm

He left me on read...

"dammit!!" I quickly ran through the house, trying to get rid of any sign of blood or flower petals, all while trying my hardest to not think of him.

Unsuccessfully.

I felt the itching sensation again, and the petals started welling up inside my throat. I couldn't hold them back anymore, so dashed in to the bathroom once again, this time collapsing over the sink, trying to cough up every last flower there was. A small amount of blood trickling down my mouth.

I heard a loud bang coming from the front of the house.

Dammit, I forgot to lock the door..

"open up! I know you're in there, if you don't open up, I'm letting myself in..!"

He sounded... unsure???

I tried to stand and clean myself up again, but hearing his voice made more flowers block up my throat. I coughed violently, but only small petals came out, and I was still having trouble breathing. I stood and walked to the open door, but staggered and collapsed again, not being able to breath.

".....i'm coming in.." I heard the door open, close, and then distant footsteps.

"....Aiko?? where the hell are you??"

I coughed more violently at hearing him call me by my name, more thoughts of him flooding my mind, gasping for breath, collapsed and spread out over the bathroom floor once again.

I heard the footsteps getting closer, he'd probably seen the light coming from the bathroom.

"..you in here―" I could only see the bottom half of him as he walked in to the bathroom, seeing me sprawled on the floor, my blood and flower petals on the floor around me "AIKO!?! WHAT THE HELL!?!?"

Crap...

That was my insignificant last thought as I lost consciousness and passed out from lack of air.
