..Knock..Knock.. (BL)

Chapter Sixteen

"What's up with the red face?"
"Ah don't ask" Austin digs his face into his arms
"No seriously you look like someone confessed to you or something" Akihito turned back on his seat to poke Austin
"Just mom caught me doing some weird stuff nothing much" Austin said without thinking much
"Omg you were mas.." Before akihito could complete with that loud tone of his, Austin covered his mouth with both hands in panic and some of the students looked back to see the commotion
"Massages, they're really good and relaxing!" Austin said in a suspiciously panicked tone while slowly dragging akihito out of the class like a kidnapper.
"Seriously?! " Akihito whispered soon as he got his mouth free "who is she?"
"She?" Austin looked around
"Well you must've imagined someone or at least watched something ahem.." Akihito whispered in a perverted tone.
"Seriously no, don't go around saying random stuff she just caught me..um..trying to do nude yoga!" Austin made up
"Come on we both know it's a lie" Akihito grinned.
"You're an idiot, I'm going to washroom take care of my bag please the other day that igarashi kid filled it with trash..so childish.." Austin mumbled.
"What did you even do to that guy? He doesn't usually give attention to others .." Akihito wondered while Austin left without replying.
..
Austin splashed water onto his face and dried his hands when he heard sobbing sounds coming from on of the stalls area, he closeted up and knocked at the door "you okay?" He asked unsurely and knocked the door. To his surprise the door swung open and in front of him was a boy seated on a closed toilet seat with both wrists slit and looking at him..the floor completely covered in blood under him
"..it's your fault.."
Austin backed away and ran out of the bathroom accidentally bumping into someone "Help there's someone dying there!" Austin ended up hugging the person he bumped into tightly while shivering.
"Huh?" The guy parted Austin from himself
"Igarashi?" Austin looked up at him in realization backing away but he remembered the boy "igarashi kun, you have to help me! Someone cut his wrists in bathroom and..!" Before Austin could complete igarashi ran into the bathroom and Austin followed.
"Where?" He asked
"That last stall.." Austin stood at a corner pointing
Igarashi walked to the last stall "oye.." His eyes widened a bit.
"What?" Austin's heart started pumping
"What did you do Jun Austin.." Igarashi looked at him with widened eyes at which Austin slowly walked towards the stall gulping.
"No.." Austin looked into the stall and nobody was in there but the red blood still tainted the floor "it can't be..."
"What have you done..." Igarashi said again but looking at Austin's feet this time. Austin slowly moved his eyes to his feet as well noting the blood drops that were dripping from his cuffs.
He slowly lifted his hands and looked at his slit wrists with ultimate disbelief
"i..."
He dropped to the ground but before his vision totally became blackened out he noticed a shadowy figure right behind igarashi who was calling out his name.
..
"Attempted suicide?" Tsubaki closed the locker
"Yeah i heard that guy's new in school too...moreover a foreigner, it's horrible" A girl with loosely curled ginger hair and green eyes replied.
"Ne Eyri chan don't focus on such depressing news, i surely feel for him because i don't understand his sufferance but suicide..?" Tsubaki clenched onto the strap of her back, it took her back in some disturbing memories.
"Yeah it must be traumatic for you since your niichan attempted..." Before the girl could complete Tsubaki glared at her.
"He did not! It was an accident" Tsubaki said with a fearful expression making the young girl back a little
"You're right, I'm sorry" she immediately tried to settle it with tsubaki.
"I'll catch up with you later, gonna go see my niichan..must be in art room" Tsubaki said and went off to her owm way towards the arts department.
Asuza would normally stay there if he had no class and paint to his heart's content. Despite being blind his art was awarded best atleast three times during competitions.
"Nii chan?" Tsubaki knocked the door and entered as usual knowing he would be alone.
Her books dropped to the floor when she saw her brother's uniform messed up in red as he was standing in a lifeless condition facing the wall that had a young boy drawn on a cross with bleeding wrists and to her surprise the drawn boy was identically similar to Austin that asuza couldn't have seen.
"Nii..chan?" Asuza rushed to her brother and shook him "nii chan?!"
"Tsu.." Tears streamed down asuza's eyes when he responded to his sister's voice.
"Ni chan..what happened.. And why are you crying?!" Tsubaki lost her calm and cupped asuzs's cheeks while wiping his his tears.
"I don't know tsubaki..they just won't stop.." Asuza rubbed his eyes a little as his sister hugged him.
..
"How would i know?!"
"Sweety calm down i didn't mean to blame its just you're his mother and mothers know better so i asked why'd he do such a thing.." Takahashi drove as fast as he could through traffic while Aurora sitting next to him couldn't stop crying, her eyes were red.
"I don't know.. I don't know why he would want to kill himself...!" Aurora went on using tissues emptying the box.
"I don't suppose he had anyone in U.S that he'd be missing so much..could it be?" Takahashi clenched onto the steering
"Could be what?" Aurora turned to her husband with a questioning face.
"Well lately he's been passing out alot..what if he's using drugs?" Takahashi suggested which seemed like jubbrish to her at first considering her innocent son but then she remembered last night
"Could be..." She added
"What should we do..." Takahashi inquired after his wife's approval.
"We'll have to talk to him.." Aurora replied firmly.
..
"Where.."
"In hospital"
A reply came before Austin could finish his sentence, he turned his head to a side to notice igarashi sitting next to him. Austin had blood bags and IV's attached to him which were only things he could feel in that numb state.
"Hurts.." Austin mumbled
"Ofc it does! You freaking brat, how did you just go ahead and slit your wrists like that!" Igarashi fired up but before he could scold any further akhito came into the room and igarashi stamped away leaving angrily.
"Don't be angry at him, despite his harsh outside he still carried you all the way here on foot when the ambulance got stuck in heavy traffic.." Akihito said and came up sitting near Austin "you were pretty depressed this morning...is that why..?".
"I didn't try to kill myself if that's what you're asking" Austin spoke in a low voice while constantly staring at the ceiling not meeting eyes.
"I'll get the doctor.." Akihito said
"You don't believe it huh.." Austin gave a slightly grinnish smile
Akihito didn't answer and stood up heading out
"Don't leave me.." Austin mumbled
"Are you okay?" Akihito turned back hearing that faint mumbling.
"Don't go..please" Austin spoke without meeting eye
"What is it Austin? Man you're creeping me out a little" Akihito stood by the door and looked up at the empty ceiling that Austin was stating in a weird way.
"..Nothing....there's just this dead man hanging from ceiling...."
