Sargent Akabane

Chapter 9: Then its a date

"I like you Nagisa,"

My eyes fly open with a sharp intake of breath, I sit up abruptly and look around feeling myself in a cold sweat. I look around the room I'm in....where am I?

Wait, am I on the couch? Nakamura's couch, I sit up gradually and look down at my clothing expecting to see the flannel and jeans but find I'm still in my pajamas. Was.....was that all just....

"Nagisa," I heard Nakamura coming into the room in pajama pants and a T-shirt. I looked at her feeling spaced out and flushed like I just woke up from a ten year sleep. "You okay? You look pale."

I rubbed my head groaning, "Nakamura...I don't remember anything from last night.." I muttered referring to the party of course. Nakamura sits down beside me a bit confused,

"I wouldn't expect you to considering you fell on the floor yesterday at the hospital." Now it was my turn to look at her shocked.

"H-huh?" She rested her back against the sofa taking a sip of what looked like coffee-I didn't know Nakamura drank coffee.

"Guess that blow to the head gave you a bit of memory loss. I wasn't there but when I got back Sergant Akabane told me your dad busted in with a gun and he was trying to protect you and you ended up falling on the floor and passing out from a hit to the head. You came home yesterday and you where on pain medicine and then you kinda just knocked out on my couch. I was getting a little worried when you started mumbling things in your sleep."

It was all a dream....it was all just......just a dream....

Apart of me was glad....glad because the things that happened in...what was now my dream didn't feel right...I didn't like it...I didn't like any of it, it felt dark...I-I'm glad it wasn't real.

"What's today?" I asked her,

"It's monday," I gave her a look,

"Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Someone has to take care of you." She had a point. "I have to go start the laundry I'm gonna place some music if that's okay." I nodded,

"Yeah that's fine."

"Okay, I'll be down the hall if you need me." She said getting up. I sighed and rested my back up against the sofa.

So she said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know....

Well....maybe I'm in love (love)

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)

Makes me want to turn around and face me but I don't know nothin 'bout love...

I felt like the lyrics of this song...whatever it was defined me in a way....maybe I am in love? I wouldn't know though because I don't really know what love is...I don't know how it feels, I don't know how to define it or what it looks like....I wish I could just...face it but...I feel like I'm to scared...and if I did face it...I wouldn't like what I found.

Come on, come on

Turn a little faster

Come on, come on
