Chapter 18: In this white night…

~*~

"Pre-natal depression?" Harume asked a little confused by the term.

"Yes." The doctor confirmed

"So what will be done?" Aoi quickly interrupted the doctor’s about to start conversation with Harume on prenatal depression earning a sigh of relief from Fuyume, which Aoi took it as a good sign.

"Well, she will be kept for observation today and will be given anti-depressant pills. Also, she will need to come back every 2 weeks for a checkup." The doctor replied Aoi not noticing the confusing gaze that was thrown by Harume much to Fuyume’s relief.

"I see... Is there anything that can be done to help her?" Aoi asked hoping quietly that the doctor would forget about Harume’s inquiry on prenatal depression.

"Well for 1 you can spend more time with her, bring her out on walks, and let her relax. Try not to get her frustrated or agitated. Try not to let her feel insecure or anxious. And it will be good if you bring along a paper bag" The young doctor listed a few suggestion as he stuffed his hands in his coat pocket.

"Is there anything else we need to know?" Aoi asked glad to see that the platinum blonde haired doctor has shifted his attention to him rather than Harume reducing the risks of him remembering that he still needed to clear the uncertainty of prenatal depression that Harume had.

"Not really. Misaki chan, you may bring the patient to her room. Oh and please give the patient some rest." The doctor smiled before leaving the nurse to do her job and him to do his rounds. Aoi nodded as they followed the nurse as she pushed Fuyume to her ward. When they finally reached the ward, there was an awkward silence that settled within them.

"Harume don't you have school tomorrow?" Aoi started breaking the silence between the trios. Harume looked at Fuyume and nodded.

"I’ll be leaving then" Harume bowed while excusing herself. Quietly she took her stuff and left the ward and headed straight to the exit. With Harume out, it made things easier to discuss and it easier to interrogate.

"So, who's the father?" Aoi asked as he poured a cup of water for Fuyume. Fuyume looked at Aoi. Fuyume halt for awhile as she thought what to reply the inquisitive guest of hers.

"Why don't you tell me why you lied?" Fuyume at last replied as she leaned back on the pillow that was set upright to cushion her back. Aoi froze when he heard what his ex asked. His eyes started roaming around the room like he was chasing an imaginary ball round the room with his eyes.

Bull’s eye. Fuyume smirked.

"wh-what are you talking about?" Aoi laughed nervously as his eyes looked at every nook and canny of the room but not Fuyume’s light blue orbs. Fuyume looked at Aoi and sighed a sigh of annoyance. That sigh was like a course marker that he had said something wrong. Aoi opened his mouth to retrieve his words but Fuyume spoke first cutting off all chances for Aoi to make any corrections.

"You aren't the father. Your aunt was right about me. I'm jus playing with you. Do you think you are the only one who I sleep with? How naive." Fuyume laughed coldly.

"What a lie" Aoi immediately replied when he heard Fuyume fib about her loyalty. Call it guts feeling or sixth sense but Aoi knew that Fuyume would never cheat on him. Even if Fuyume did cheat on him, her heart was still full of him. It was just like what Harume said in the house. Fuyume’s loyalty is one that should be taken seriously.

"Wha- you! What makes you think I'm lying?" Fuyume stuttered angrily.

"Cause you love me." Aoi paused before he whispered his response. Fuyume soften as tears formed at the corner of her eyes and looked away.

"Fuy-" Aoi started when he saw the tears.

"Okay. Enough...” Fuyume whispered as she pressed her head against her pillow and brought the blanket to her chest.

"I'm tired. Please leave” Fuyume said as she shut her eyes.

"Fuyu-" Aoi persisted.

"I said I am tired" Fuyume said as she tried to keep her tone firm but failed as it wavered.

"Why are you doing this?" Aoi snapped angrily. He knew her feelings; she knew her feelings even better then him. So why? Why was she denying it? Aoi wanted an explanation and when he was about to speak to Fuyume again, Fuyume opened her eyes and looked at the wall opposite her as tears emerged and slipped down her cheeks. Her eyes were clouded with sorrow when she looked at Aoi with her teary light blue eyes.

"Because it hurts” Fuyume cried as she brought her knees up and covered her face. Aoi slowly walked and sat on the side of the bed and removed her hands revealing her tear stained face.

"Why does it hurt?" Aoi posed quietly.

"Because I love you" Fuyume sobbed quietly as Aoi watched at the sideline. He felt his heart leap when Fuyume confessed her feelings but he was still confused. He could not get why she lied to him again and again.

"I don't get you... I..." Aoi murmured as he ran his thin slender fingers through his navy blue hair. His face was flushed up and looked rather mixed up.

"Which part of I love you do you not understand?" Fuyume asked angrily but her voice was calm.

"You." Aoi replied.

"Wha?"

"I don't get you I jus... Don't... why are you doing this to me? Why..." Aoi asked his emotions running high and was close to tears.

"Because it hurts seeing u get all these bruises because of me n when I ask, you pretend that everything is fine jus to prevent me fm being worried. It hurts to be so helpless..." Fuyume wailed loudly revealing her pain to Aoi. Suddenly, Aoi realized what he did and finally got to see the pain that Fuyume was experiencing. Suddenly, his self-pity was washed away and he just felt waves of condemnation washing over him. He suddenly hated himself for putting Fuyume under this pain; he did not even try to understand things from her view point.

"I... I'm sorry... I just..." Aoi whispered as he stood up. Tears were seeping out of his shut tight eyelids.

"NO... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it... there’s nobody except you... I'm sorry." Fuyume cried as she held Aoi's wrists. Carefully, Aoi brought his hand up n wiped her tears before enveloping her in a warm embrace.

"I’ll never let u go... never" Aoi swore and they jus sat there crying and as they renewed their love over and over again under the white night.

Few medical terms that you might not know:

1) Prenatal Depression

a. It means that the mother is suffering depression during her pregnancy. YES, its this simple. But its still depression and so treatment is still needed.

2) Panic Attack

a. as an episode of incredibly intense fear or apprehension that is of sudden onset. According to the American Psychological Association, the symptoms of a panic attack commonly last approximately thirty minutes. However, panic attacks can be as short as 15 seconds, while sometimes panic attacks may form a cyclic series of episodes, lasting for an extended period, sometimes hours. Often those afflicted will experience significant anticipatory anxiety and limited symptom attacks in between attacks

3) Anti depressant

a. A medication to curb/cure depression.

Chapter 17: Crash; Scream; Taxi

~*~

Harume lay lazily on the beige couch as her eyes never left the screen. Then, a loud smash broke through the room.

"Nee-chan!" Harume groaned as she heard the shatter per minute was getting more and more frequent.

"Shut up!" Fuyume snapped in between sobs.

"Gawd, who stepped on her tail?" Harume shrugged off her sister's remark and continued watching the drama series she was addicted to ignoring the ruckus happening in the room.

Then the doorbell rang breaking the tense atmosphere in the house despite Harume trying her best to relax.

"Coming...” Harume yelled annoyed as the person at the door continued ringing the door shamelessly despite it being late at night. When Harume opened the door, she gasped as the visitor rushed through the door.

"Aoi kun!" Harume gasped surprised at Aoi’s sudden intrusion. It was unknown whether Aoi heard the flabbergasted gasp that came from Harume but Aoi ignored Harume as he continued looking around the house.

"Yume!" Aoi hollered. His face was red probably due to the running he did on the way to the twins’ house. Seeing Aoi’s determination to see her sister, suddenly a though struck Harume which made Harume frown subconsciously.

"Aoi, did you go and look up for nee chan today?" Harume asked softly praying hard that her guess was not true and was utter rubbish.

"Yes. Do you know where she is?" Aoi asked as he gripped Harume shoulders and shook her.

Harume sighed as she broke away from Aoi grasped throwing Aoi into a state of shock. His mind was too desperate to see his beloved that he could no longer determine whether was Harume action positive or not.

"Yes I know where she is... but I don't know if she wants to see u." Harume confessed as she walked to close the door that was left ajar. Aoi stood rooted on the ground for awhile taking his time to digest the info that Harume had just given him.

"Where is she?" Aoi asked after awhile of silence.

"Just gives up. Why do you keep persisting?" Harume raised her voice by a little, rather irritated by Aoi’s stubbornness.

"Because I love her." Aoi replied after a long waited pause. Harume looked at Aoi, she was close to giving up but she knew that Aoi would not give up until he heard it come out from her sister’s mouth. But Fuyume in the state she is in now, it is really impossible for Aoi to go in and exit in one piece.

"Your love is not a reason to continue chasing neechan. Give up before either of you get hurt." Harume frowned. Aoi paused as he thought through Harume's words.

“Haru, is there another man?"

*slap

Aoi looked at Harume shocked at the slap he got.

"How could you... How could you doubt sister's loyalty towards you?" Harume growled in total fury. Aoi whose mind was in a state of shock could no longer hear anything of what Harume said. All he could feel now was the stinging feeling that had yet to leave his cheek. Finally, the ice in Aoi’s mind started to thaw and Aoi began to function properly. He at last opened up his mouth and was about to give a retort when a loud crash was heard and painful gasps could be heard coming fm the closed door.

"Neechan!" Harume immediately raced to the door and tried to open it but the doorknob was jammed

"Neechan!" Harume yelled as she banged the door.

"Get away." Aoi pushed Harume away and slammed his body at the door. The door unable to withstand Aoi's muscular build flung open revealing the ransacked room with splinters lying dangerously on the floor.

"Neechan!" Harume yelled as she was about to dash in when Aoi held her back.

"Are you an idiot?! Stay back" Aoi growled at Harume as he dashed into the room ignoring the piercing pain of the splinters. He searched the room quickly and found Fuyume on the floor gasping for air. He immediately got to her and carried her bridal style out of the room and to the living room and placed her down gently on the wooden floor. Fuyume squirmed as her gasps for air became thinner

"Yume?" Aoi nudged Fuyume to look at him through her teary and squinted eyes.

"A-ao-!" Fuyume whispered an inaudible plea of help before arching her back up as her breathing became more ragged.

“Haru, does your sis have any history of asthma?" Aoi tried to keep calm as he heard strangled screams in between painful gasps.

"No... Neechan never get asthma." Harume stuttered. Aoi immediately ordered Harume to call the hospital as he unbuttoned Fuyume's blouse and unbuckled her bra strap before giving her mouth to mouth. Fuyume felt air rush through her lungs forcing it to expand. Aoi broke for air and he heard Fuyume breathing getting stronger but still ragged as tears spilled from her eyes. Aoi knew that time is running out. He searched and for a paper bag or anything for her to breathe in but he found none.

"Do you hate me?" Aoi asked as he undid his fly and did what was needed

"I'm sorry."

Aoi whispered into her ear as he rammed in. The pain was instant. Fuyume arched back as she threw her head back to let out a scream but instead Aoi brought Fuyume's neck down and kissed her deeply. Fuyume felt her lungs getting stronger as Aoi dug into her deeper forcing her to cry making her lungs expand and allowing her to regain her breathing pattern. Aoi broke away, wiped her tears and dressed her. Then Harume entered the room with the paramedics behind her. Immediately are paramedics placed her under the oxygen mask and placed her on the stretcher and brought her to the ambulance to send her for a check up.

"Come, let’s take the taxi" Aoi told Harume as he led her by her arm and hailed a taxi and left for the hospital

#Hospital

Aoi paced around infront of the checkup room while Harume sat uncomfortably on the plastic chair s they waited for the checkup to be complete. Then the door opened and Fuyume was brought out on a wheelchair by a kind nurse wearing a pale blue uniform

Harume- "neechan!"

Harume cried as she hugged her sister. Fuyume smiled weakly as she patted Harume's head before she looked up and gazed at Aoi.

"Doctor, how's Fuyume?” Aoi inquired

"Well, the patient is okay physically but mentally... She's a little unstable" The clad in a white medical coat and wearing a light pink dress shirt and a pair of black pants under the coat doctor replied.

"What does that mean doctor?" Aoi tried his best to phrase his words and tone in such a way that it did not sound demanding but it failed terribly and caused the nurse who was helping Fuyume to flinch.

"I suspect she's suffering fm pre-natal depression which leads to the panic attacks (A/N: I don't know if this is true...) which she suffered today." The doctor responded
