Makoto Tachibana
"Haruka!" I shriek as I see Haruka falling from his bed.
He lies there on the floor, coughing up a white-yellow mucus. This doesn't look good, I can tell that immediately.
Haruka's skin is a grey-ish pale and his lips are slightly blue. Tears are running over his cheeks and he's grasping for breath.
His blue eyes stare at my and go a little less bright as he stops coughing and his body stops shaking.
"Haruka?" I ask, not knowing what to do.
I want to jump out of bed, help Haruka myself, but I know that's not the right thing to do. My mind's a mess right now, while I'm crying my eyes out, but I do know what I should so.
I push the bright red "call" button and start screaming for help.
"Haruka's passed out! Help!" Even if there's not someone close to the computers, they'll hear me in the hallway.
And I'm right, within a few seconds two nurses and an assistance run into the room with a first aid bag hanging from their shoulders.
I watch in fear as they lay Haruka on his back and check his pulse.
"He's barely breathing!" one of the two night-nurses tells the others.
"No pulse!" the other yells.
The assistance takes a big resuctucation bag while one of the night-nurses starts giving Haruka CPR.
The tears blur my vision, but I don't want to blink. I, somehow, want to see how they're doing this. I want to see how Haruka's getting saved.
But when there's still no pulse after eight minutes of Haruka getting CPR from the nurses, I'm getting worried. I want to get out of bed, help them performing CPR. Get Haruka to wake up.
But I can't do anything.
I sit there and wait. Two more minutes pass and the nurses are about to give up when Haruka suddenly coughs and rolls onto his side. He stares at me, fear in his eyes while his chest rises up and down in an irregular pace.
"He's got a pulse!" one of the nurses yells. "Help me here, we have to get him to the ER. Now!"
They put him on a stretcher and carry Haruka away from me.
I feel tears welling up and streaming over my cheeks.
I need Haruka to be okay, I can't let this happen to him. The feeling of Haruka being in pain doesn't leave me for the rest of the night.
So for the night, I sit against the wall, hugging my pillow as tight as I can while praying Haruka will be okay.
