MY LOVE

I slowly, quietly dragged a chair beside her bed and sat...gently took her hand in mine.

Damn...i can't control my tears anymore.

"kaori san...it's me... your idiot Arima kousei... please...please wake up and throw your violin at my face" my voice cracking.

Watari's eyes were teary, but he let out a broken chuckle at my words.

Watari: what was that?

I sobbed "you won't understand"

He let out another small huff.

Watari : guess i really wont...

I stroked her pulse point softly with my thumb. Her heart rate increased just a little...

Suddenly, her mom stepped in and sticked it a neatly folded piece of paper

Her mom: Arima-kun...kaori wrote this to you just before the surgery...

My eyes widen "she wrote something...for me?"

She nodded and smiled softly through tears

Her mom : she said your name through the surgery every now and then... And thought only about you before.

My breath hitched... Me...? She really thought about someone like me...?

I gently took that small piece of paper from her like It's something precious and fragile...

She stepped out again and watari patted my shoulder twice.

Watari: i'll wait out.

And with that... He stepped out too.

I unfolded the paper with trembling hands, There were visible tear marks on it. I sobbed again, she must've cried while writing this. Furthermore, I gulped down the feeling and started reading it.

Isn't it funny how the most unforgettable scenes can be so trivial and vice versa?

My heart ached "none of it was trivial"

So what's the verdict? Was i able to live inside someone's heart?

My lower lip quivered and i bit it softly "no question"

And this heart... wouldn't happen to be yours, would it?

My hands shook more "you barged in without knocking"

Do you think you'll remember me a little from time to time?

A low huff escaped my mouth... Shaky and broken "got no choice, you'd come back to haunt me"

No hitting the reset button

A lump formed in my throat "Not ever"

Don't you forget me. It's a promise okay? I am glad we found each other. Will i reach you…? I hope i can...

Here's the truth kousei,

I love you, i love you, i love you...

I am sorry that i never ate those Connoles and i beat you up so much... I was such a brat to you.

I am sorry for... everything.

And my tears with hers on the paper as i let out a loud cry... she thought she will probably die... my hands gripped the paper so tightly.

"i love you too kaori san...i really really love you"

I was crying like an idiot, my face buried in the paper, head held low...

When i heard a very soft...fragile voice "i am glad you do..."

I froze for half a second then jerked my head up
