Raku's POV

Today I woke a bit earlier than I usually do.

I plan to visit Tsubaki in the morning, before school, to see how she's doing. And if she's getting ready for school, I'll stop her. She needs to rest up.

I get ready for school and pack everything I need.

"Bye mom, Bye dad", I say and head out. Tsubaki's place isn't really far. Only about 10 minutes walking.

I finally arrive at her place and ring the doorbell.

No response.

I ring it again.

No response

I start to knock on the door.

Still no response.

"Tsubaki?" I say.

Is she sleeping? Of course, she must be.. I must have woken her up.

But if that's the case, why isn't she opening the door?

I try to open the door, and to my surprise, it's open. I enter hesitantly.

My eyes see Tsubaki laying on the floor filled with bruises, cuts, burns, and dried blood.

"Tsubaki!" I run towards her. What in the world happen? Her color has disappeared again and she is as pale as a ghost. She's in such bad condition.

Tsubaki's POV

I hear some noice going around me. I make the effort to slightly open my eyes. I see a silhouette in front of me.
No.

It's her.

She's back.

I cry in pain. I am unable to move.

"No..." I croak out. Tears start to fall down my cheeks. I see the silhouette come closer to me. I scream. I don't know how, but my body managed to crawl a bit away from her. My body is so, so sore. I don't think I can keep awake any longer. It feels as if I am being stabbed by thousands of knives.

"Tsubaki!! Its me, Raku!!" I hear.

How long have I been on the floor?

That's all I got to hear, before I pass out.

...

...

"Tsubaki... I don't know what happened to you... but I hope you wake up soon. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." I hear a familiar voice. It sounded very sad.

There is a comforting warmth on my hand. Maybe someone is holding it. I'm not quite sure.

Where am I?

Did I die?

I open my eyes slowly to see a hospital room.

"Tsubaki!" I hear a voice followed by a gentle hug.

I look to see that it was Raku.

He let go of me and sat down.

"You woke up.. I'm so happy I could.. cry." He says.

I close my eyes again. I'm very tired and don't understand why he did that.
It's just as she said. He's not a real friend.

I doze off and fall asleep again.

Raku's POV

Tsubaki woke up! But for like a minute. She didn't say anything at all and just closed her eyes and fell back asleep.
