A world with you

Chapter 46: You and me..

(Note:  The gif is for all the shippers!! A pocky game won by TAKI!) ~kiss at the end <3~

The man held the rough grip of the wheel tightly, eyes stretching unable to catch consciousness from the trauma. Arm crossing a bruised and weak one, his feet eloped the car door, stretching his legs like he just ran a marathon of nightmares. It was truly terrifying..

A baby's laugh hovered in the air with a woman opening a door in front of the man.

"Honey- Honey! What happened to your arm!?"  

The man walked into the house, not whispering a word. From all the tension and deliberate actions the woman followed the man,  wanting an answer she hugged him from behind. Heartbeats pressed against his back, yet sweat rolling down it. 

"Please.... Say something dear" the mournful whisper fled in the man's ear, his tie lingering near his wait. Loosened. Loosened from the collar which once strangled him-

The man curled up, his shoulders hunched and face lowered. As if he didn't have the energy to say or do anything. His lips shuddered and quivered saying.. 

"I've killed an innocent young girl.."

The woman's eyes widened at those words creating a breeze of confusion around her, the baby still playing around unable to take in what was going around it. There then was a long silence

A silence which could burn the soul and penetrate the skin. Followed by a tender embrace, making even the man, who was a police officer, shed tears of remorse and recollection. 

After two long hours, the family entered the dining room for some grub. A father, A mother, A child..

However from the stairs footsteps echoed leading down as fast as possible. 
Flashing brown-ish hair rained sweat across his palm. Marine blue eyes were rubbed at the sight of light. 

"So you finally join us" the mother recalls, grabbing a huge spoon and serving the plates. 

"Sorry Mom, I was sleeping" A faint, familiar voice that radiates crystals of ribbons across the night sky. 

Suddenly, the boy catches a glimpse of his father, seeming in tears and looking pretty depressed. 
"Dad..? What's wrong?"

The mother gets up and escorts the boy to his seat, trying to hide the subject "Aha- Your father has been working so hard, give him a break okay?"

The boy smiled, determined to be like his father -a noble Police Officer-. 
There was a soft breeze in the air as the family ate their dinner, cute chewing sounds coming from the baby. As he laughed at his brother making funny faces.

The mother had stress lines each second, seeing the officer not even touching his plate. She grabbed a spoonful of the soothing soup and feed it to her beloved.

-Boy's point of view-

Its kinda strange of Dad to not eat, I mean whenever mom makes  food he treasures and eats like a bunny. My eyes divert to my dad, sweat dropping down his forehead. Dad's eyes were pale and remorse .. What exactly happened to him..

I rise off my seat. "Dad what happened?!" I was surprised by my own stern voice, demanding an answer.

My dad was surprised too, smiling a little to himself. With a friendly arm he pulled me closer to him, reassuring my safety. 

Dad's mouth quivered in fear then stopped, "I bumped into a Girl while going to an investigation site" 
Teasley, my mom nudged my shoulder repeating "girl" on her lips. I pushed her back softly ignoring her playful jokes. 

"What else Dad" my curious eyes couldn't stop wondering what he witnessed and who that girl was.

"She wanted to meet.. the Serial Killer we found in Kyoto District 2" Dad's eyes dropped slowly, "I took her there, and then that bastard.. injected her with a lethal chemical.."

My eyes widen, the rhythm of those words busted all my blood vessels one by one. The girl.. made me remember her, how i let her go so easily.. In haste, I grabbed my dad's shirt collar and dragged it near my face in force. 
"HOW COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN?"

. . . 

Everyone was shocked, even my Dad.

"I was. Outside on an important call when i heard a disturbing loud thump.." His eyes became even more weary and depressed. A wave of soreness dropping down his adam's apple..
"I saw her, bleeding. And an injection tube rolling down the floor.." 

Those words, burnt an image in my brain.. her hair across the floor like a fan, a pool of rushing cold blood, her fingertips dragged on the floor recklessly, her clothes..is she even wearing any? Did the bastard do anything else to her.. 
My hands turn to fists.

My mom watches in horror while missing my little bro's mouth while feeding him soup, a splash of soup hanging off the edge only to be thrown to the floor. 

My dad's mouth stops and then moves once more.. "I took her to the hospital"

A flash of hope shines across my eyes, "W-what did the doctor say..?"

A long sigh exits my dad's mouth, "She's in a Coma" 

My body slaps itself on the chair, head spinning, heart thumping. But why..? Why do i care so much? Why is my body reacting to this? 

-Back to the narrator's view point-

Now the family eat and sleep in silence, the boy still shaking and wondering why his heart stings, why his heart felt like it was being pierced by 1000 thorns at once..

Back at the hospital where the nurses rush side to side, holding precious cases of medicines, hats dropping to the side unable to take the stress. The only sounds emitting the hospital rooms were coughing and sneezing, the mere silence of souls crying in pain gave a haunting atmosphere to the hospital. 

There, under blankets of cotton bed sheets lay the red-ribbon girl. Strings of glucose attached onto her veins, giving her the food she couldn't take in physically. Huge white straps of bandages across her waist and stomach, eye lids closed shut. Specs of dust settled on her long eye lashes- 

Operating computers all around her, inspecting each and every movement of her cells. Lines of numbers clustered around the screen revealing a revolting amount of data one could take in. Her face is pale, soft lines of fatigue around her eyes. 

Suddenly the door bursts open with a loud Bang!

A trembling voice echoes: MAY!
