Three ♡

*Ash's pov*

The white light went on for what seemed like forever. It was warm and inviting. I was tempted to reach out and grab it, when suddenly I saw a familiar face smiling back at me. Eiji? I thought to myself. " Ash, you made it!" He exclaimed, offering a hand to pick me up from the ground I was laying on. I looked around my surroundings. We were in a field of gerbera daisies, the sky was a bright blue with the most gentle wind I had ever experienced.

"Eiji...where am I? Why aren't you on a flight to japan right now?" I blurted out, my brain frazzled. I could feel my heart beat getting faster and louder, to the point where I thought it was going to beat out of my chest any second now. Eiji looked as mesmerizing as ever. He had on a white shirt, and blue jeans- something simple yet looked so elegant on his slime and fast moving body.

He ran up this small hill that was covered in flowers and plopped himself on the ground. He tapped the ground next to him and I began making my way up the hill. I sat myself down right next to him and he proceeded to lay on his back, looking at the clouds. "Ash look! He said pointing at a cloud in the sky- doesn't that one look like a bunny?" He asked as I chuckled. "No look, thats the ears, and thats the body.. HEY DON'T LAUGH!" He said as he went back to sulking.

We spent what felt like hours talking and catching up like old friends from high school, when mid sentence, Eiji turned to me, still laying down and asked something that made my heart sink-"Hey Ash, why didn't you come say goodbye? I missed you at the airport" he said with a gloomy smile on his face. My eyes started to tear up and my vision started to get blurry. I felt my surrounding gets darker and darker, the once bright blue pretty sky full of clouds I knew was now gone, replaced by gradual incoming darkness-"Eiji..I...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...I wanted to believe me, I saw the ticket but..."

The mysterious darkness came closer and closer with every word I uttered, making me not want to speak to the only person I loved. "Goodbye Ash..." I looked up and saw Eiji slowly being engulfed by fog and mist until I saw no more of him. 'EIJI! COME BACK TO ME! COME BACK EIJI....PLEASE...please come back to me" I pleated, my eyes seeing nothing from the endless tears streaming down my face and my ears ringing like a broken radio. I fell to my knees, the darkness only inches away from my body when moments later it had taken me too.

"Sir...sir you cannot sleep in the library sigh- excuse me...oh god SOMEONE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY!"

I felt my head spinning, and the ringing in my ears stopping. Now I could hear clear and concise voices all around me, talking over each other. One person shouting something and another responding in an equally angered tone. "Everybody MOVE!" I heard a young yet stern voice shout from what felt like right next to me.

People were gasping, taking deep breathes and some were even crying. My brain felt like I had smashed ten books against it. I remember my body being picked up by a person, and being put on a bed-or what I thought was a bed. I passed out again not too long after that.

I woke up in a bright yet gloomy room with white walls on all four sides. I tried sitting up but failed instantly. I chucked it up to my body being weak and gave up trying a second time-though I turned my head and started examining my surroundings. The last time I was at a hospital, I was almost assassinated. Not fun at all.

To my left was a giant window shining in bright light with a couch right below it. I had a tv hanging from the wall in front of me and a bathroom to my right with a chair next to my right bedside. We can't forget the dreadful hospital equipment as well. I was hooked up to a heart monitor with what looked like hundreds of iv's up my arm.

My lower abdomen was hard to move so I didn't try at all, though at the touch I saw no more blood and instead saw a patch covering it up. I peeled the corner to reveal the wound had been stitched up. My mind suddenly went ferrel as I looked around the room for the letter from Eiji. I asked the doctor the minute he stepped foot into the room again, he sighed and left back out for a few seconds. Coming back, he had in his hand the envelope with the letter and ticket inside. He put it on my hospital bed and smiled as I grabbed it, putting it close to my chest. Thank god I thought to myself.

I was wary of every person coming in and out of my room, giving them all glares and watching their every move. Doctors and nurses had been coming in and out without a break fora whole hour before I could get some quiet time to myself.

I laid my head back down after taking some pain killers and smiled. Not because I was happy about the situation I was in, but I was content knowing I got to live another day to possibly call Eiji when he arrives in Japan. We could be together a little longer, even if he was across the world away from me. As I was about to close my eyes for some long needed sleep, I heard a commotion outside, the voices of very distinct and memorable people. I jerked my body up right and that's when I saw him running into my room with the most worried look I had ever seen on his face. He had tears streaming down his face and limping closer and closer to my bed.

"...Eiji...?" I whispered in a broken yet happy voice, tears running down my own face now. "I'm here Ash, I'm here..." He whispered back, burying his head into my chest. "You're here..."
