17: Beginning of the nightmare

Nobody's pov:

Nariko is busy wrapping up her gift, for Mikey's upcoming 13rd birthday, which is tomorrow. She happily hummed while choosing the perfect ribbon for the finishing touch. 'Hmm.. blue sure goes well with white! But that purple ribbon looks so beautiful...' She still couldn't pick her choice. Just when her head is over the clouds, a nee chan went up to Nariko's room, and told her that there's a urgent phone call for her.

As fast as she could, the blonde ran down stairs, and picked up the phone. 'Moshi mosh? Is anyone here?' Nariko started. 'Nari chi...' Mikey, who is from another side of the phone spoke.

Nariko's pov:

I never expected Mikey to phone call me at night. Although he's a night owl, he hates calls, so am I. So him, calling me, especially late at night, is really something unusual.

'Yo Mickey Mouse! It's not like you to call me at this time, what's up?' I tried my best to hide my tiredness from my cheerful voice. 'Nariko..' Mikey trailed off. That's so not like him! He never calls me by my name, so something definitely is up. 'Mikey chan? Tell me everything.' My voice is sounding as calming as possible, smoothing the blonde boy at the another end of the phone.

'Shin nii... he..' He choked on his own sobs, struggling to speak at the moment. 'Tell me where you are Mikey.. I'm going there right now.' I got the hint immediately and asked for his location. After it, I quickly hung up and ran up to my room, yanking my jacket off the clothes hanger, before dashing out quickly.

No one's pov:

Nariko ran through the cold alleyways, letting her legs bring her to the hospital that Mikey just told her earlier. A lot of different unpleasant scenarios are forming in her head, making her shiver uncontrollably by her own thoughts.

Those painful shrill sobs of that boy are still echoing inside her mind repeatedly , making her heart throb. Since that boy is really strong, and rarely, or never showed his negative emotions out. Hearing him sob, made Nariko's heart broke. At the same time, she increases her pace greatly, as the hospital is now in her sight.

Running inside the hospital. The blonde girl heavily panted, her droopy eyes looked tired from all that running. 'Dangg! Why didn't I wake that bald egg up and tell him to give me a ride here? The hospital is like miles away from my home.' Nariko heavily panted, while regretting her decision of not bring her brother with her.

'Excuse me. Do you know where Shinichiro Sano is?' I asked the lady who is sitting at the counter  who I assumed she's one of the nurses. 'Do you mean the man who just got here a few minutes ago? He is at the second floor, room 202-' Not listening more, the blonde girl ran off, and dashed up the stairs as fast as she can. As she cannot waste one second, what if.. Shinichiro will leave us...?

What if.. 

Nariko scrambled along the corridor, finding the room *202*. '200.. 201.. 202!' She muttered as she is busy checking the door tags. Slamming open the door, Nariko panted serverly, not noticing that all eyes are on her. 'Nari chi!' A familiar voice called, following by the oddly comforting warmth. 'Mikey..' She muttered, while looking at Shinichiro, who is laying on the hospital bed, looking lifeless.

'Shin nii... Nariko chan is here.' Emma slightly pushed me towards the bed with tears on her face, almost making me trip over my feet. Which alerts Mikey, and immediately grabs my arm, preventing me to fall. ' N-na-riko?' A weak voice spoke, startling the girl. 'Shinichiro kun..?' She said with a hint of sadness and shock in her voice.
