Chapter 16: Invisible Heart

Point of View of: Ayumi

 

 

 

 

It was awful, staring down at him. Watching him sleep uncomfortably in a dingy hospital bed. Watching him toss and turn in his sleep, calling out random names. I felt horrible, knowing that it was my fault he was here in the first place. If only I had been watching where I was going...I finger the cell phone in my pocket. Stupid unlimited plan! I think, you put someone in the hospital!

 

Alphonse moans a few words in his sleep, but I'm unable to make out what he's. I look at the flowers I placed on his nightstand. Even now, in the dim morning glow, their petals seemed to point at me and blame me for this.

 

I deserve it.

 

I slink deeper into my seat as Alphonse turns over in his seat. Why was I here when he was sleeping? Oh yeah, because Kaen made me come.

 

At first, I had protested. After all, there was no way I wanted to look at him in all his pain. But Kaen insisted I go and spend more time with him. I admitted defeated and trudged my way to the hospital, and on the way I picked him up a boquet.

 

But now...

 

Now I was glad I came. His injuries seemed to be healing up pretty well, but he still looked like a puppy that had been lost and kicked too many times.

 

And it was all my fault.

 

I feel a tear come down my face. The poor thing. I walk over and, without meaning to, gently tap his cheek. He doesn't move, and I leave my fingers to rest on him.

 

I close my eyes and pray for him.

And possibly for me too.

This was a cute chapter! I liked Ayumi's p.o.v. I would have felt bad if I had run over someone too. The text plan line made me laugh, but texting is normal. It's stupid to do when you drive. I liked this chapter though. Thanks for sharing. :D

Lol aww poor Ayumi...I LOVED the unlimited plan line lol...Very funny to blame it on that

Also when you point on Al is moaning you forgot to add saying so it just says "Unable to make out what he's"

Great chapter, short and sweet...It was nice for Ayumi to pick up a bouquet

I like your comparison with Alphonse to a puppy, it fit great in my mind.
