《The Girl With The Cellphone》Chapter 15

"Let me do it," says a deep voice. "Oi, Amy. Are you going to stay like that any longer? You didn't grow a bit, did you? Hurry up you're making everyone worried," who's that? I don't recognize this voice. Is that dad? Or Fujita? It can't be Saito so... who is it?

My eyes slowly opened and I notice a white ceiling I recognize. I've been here quite a lot of times when I was younger. I look around, still feeling dizzy, and notice some figures on my right and one really close to me. "Finally, you're awake," sighs the same voice from before. My vision comes back to me and I notice who it is.

"K-Kenshi," my voice is lightly hoarse. How long I've been there?

He sighs again. "I was going to come home to see dad and I heard you're in the hospital. What happened this time? Some people were mean to you again?"

He has changed so much now. He doesn't hold back anymore. I stare at him with a sad expression. "I'm sorry," my body feels so heavy. He snorts before leaving my bed's side.

"Amy! How are you feeling?" my dad wonders worryingly. I just nod my head. I look behind to see the usual nurse and doctor.

"Amy," doctor Nakamura steps in first smiling at me. I still hate that smile. "You've been asleep for five hours now. Do you feel pain anywhere?" Yeah, my whole body hurts. I shake my head, not wanting to see the doctor any longer. I advert my eyes from them.

"Be nicer would you?" my dad sighs because of my cold behavior towards the doctor. "I'm sorry about her," he bows to them. 'She's always so clumsy,' huh? You always said that before because I always had to come here.

"So," starts Kenshi as he still leans against the white walls. "What happened to you this time? Some people try to make you cry? Did you get scared and past out?"

"Kenshi! Watch your tongue!"

"You shouldn't be criticizing me when you weren't there for her during the most difficult part of her life," he stares coldly at my father who doesn't answer back. He must be feeling guilty. "So? I'm waiting."

I hesitate. "It's not your business now, is it? It's not like you care," he clicks his tongue annoyed.

"I take the pain to come here to see how you're doing and that's how you treat me?"

I frown at his comment. "So what? Should I jump into your arms to relief my pain and hears you spitting on me because I'm 'too weak for my own good'?" he glares back at me as I quote his own words that he told me in the past. "Don't you think I'm the same little girl you knew. I've grown up since then and it's thanks to you that I withdraw into myself like that."

"What did you," he looks upset. I never stand up against him.

My dad steps in between us during our glaring contest. "Alright you two, stop it. Amy, you should get some sleep. We'll come back later."

I don't answer them and just turn around so I won't face anyone. I hear their footsteps slowly fading, meaning they left the room. I lay there, silently. I am alone in this white hell called hospital. I hate this place. Even more than school. I sigh and bring my knees to my chest. Before I know it, I fall asleep.

"Yeah, she was there quite a lot before," I hear my dad's voice in my room. I wonder who is he talking to. However, I don't want to open my eyes. I feel so tired. "When she was little she got mental breakdown almost every week and was afraid of going to school. I never knew what happened."

"Obviously you didn't," it's Kenshi's voice. "You were never there for her."

"Yeah, you're right," my dad's voice sounds very sad. He must feel bad for not being there for me all that time. "I was a very bad father."

Kenshi snorts and continues what my father was saying. "'Bad' is a nice way to put it. People hated her for stupid reasons. She looks like a foreigner and is half-American. She was quite big for a young girl of her age and kids were calling her 'Giant', 'Half-caste' and many other names. They were young so everyone thought it was going to calm down," I feel a pair of eyes on me. "It went worst in middle-school."

I sweat drop remembering those horrible years of my life. "I thought it was after your mom's death that it went worst?" Is that Tomoe? What is she doing there? I start to feel extremely nervous knowing that she'll know more about me. What if she leaves me and never comes back? Are Saito and Fujita there too? Why are they telling them that? I have to...

"Yeah that's true but it was rather okay. We were still young. Her heath couldn't allow her to finish school so she studied at home and went to middle-school afterwards. However, everyone remembered her. She got bullied all her years. Well, I don't know for the two last years as I left."

"She would always come back bleeding or with bruises," my father takes over the conversation. "Because of that she got scars at some parts of her body. I thought she was... clumsy and didn't care about her health. I thought she was fighting as she never told me anything. How much of a bad father was I?"

"Do you want me to tell you?" asks Kenshi. 'You're no better yourself for leaving me like that,' is what I want to say but I can't seem to find the strength to talk.

"What about," so there's Saito. My heart tightens knowing he's here too. I don't want them to be there. "You know... what happened to her because of a group of men..."

"You mean the rape?" dad answers a little uncomfortable. "Yeah, it was on her last year of middle-school. I was there and," his voice cracks up. I feel like crying remembering the suffering. I move my hand to my stomach, clenching it tightly. I try to be careful to not trigger any attention. "Sorry. I just feel so guilty for talking to her like that that day. I was never there for her and I even yelled at her because she never told me. It was after that that she became way more distant and she became like that."

"I'm just curious but," Fujita's tone was really low comparing to the usual. "Where did she learn her hacking skills?"

"'Hacking skills'?" wonder both my father and brother. Crap! Why did you! I flinch unconsciously and shiver a little. "What are you talking about?"

"Eh? You never heard about that?"

"No. I knew she is good with new technologies and all that stuff as her mother worked into developing those technologies but I didn't know she could hack."

"Are you going to explain yourself?" Kenshi's harsh voice resonate in the room. Knowing he was talking about me, I turn around feeling guilty. They all stare at me with wide eyes.
