《The Fading Sunshine》Chapter 19

**Still kageyama's POV
It's been two days since the incident with Koki. Our training camp ends tomorrow and the team didn't really get the chance to improve that much with everything that has happened this week. Hinata still hasn't woken up. The whole team knew about what happened at this point and came to check on him everyday.
I stayed with him all the time though. I only leave to go get food. I'm afraid if I leave something will happen or worse, someone else will try to hurt him.
Daichi called Hinata's dad the night he was admitted to the hospital. No one had seen him and we had no idea where he was. What kind of a dad doesn't come see his own son in the hospital. But it doesn't matter, i'll be by his side no matter what.
It was almost 2 in the morning. I hadn't slept since Hinata was admitted here. I was exhausted but my mind wouldn't allow me to sleep. I held Hinata's hand and laid my head by his legs. I did this each night. Since I couldn't sleep I figured I should at least let my body rest.
I had been laid down for about 30 minutes when I felt a twitch in my hand. My eyes darted up to Hinatas. His face was scrunching as if he was in pain. I pressed the button that calls the doctor to the room. It could be nothing, but what if it wasn't?
The doctor rushed in and stared at Hinata. "I think he's waking up." She said as she rushed and looked at the numbers on the machines that he was connected to.
**Hinata's POV
I felt myself regain consciousness but I couldn't seem to open my eyes. I couldn't seem to move anything. I hoped what ever was happening was similar to sleep paralysis and would end soon. I did feel something on my hand though. Almost like someone was holding it.

I tried with all my might to at least move a finger. I felt my hand twitch and I heard someone say my name. Was it Kageyama? After I managed to move my hand I realized I was able to move more of my body little by little. I strained to open my eyes and got them open to a slit. I saw at least three people around me. Was I in a bed?
I slowly opened my eyes more and more until they were almost all the way open. I looked around and saw Kageyama next to me holding my hand. His eyes were red from what I assumed was crying.
I tried to sit up but was forced back down to the bed by a middle aged man that appeared to be a doctor. Was I in the hospital? What happened? I can't seem to remember anything after I explained to Kageyama about my situation with Koki.
"Hinata, you seem startled but I need you to remain laid down. We don't know how much damage has been dealt to your body. We don't want you to hurt your self even more from rushing your recovery." The man said.
"O-okay.." I croaked. My voice was raspy and my throat hurt. What was going on? What happened?
"Do you need anything before we go? Water? A blanket?" The female doctor said.
"W-water please.." I said. My throat felt like I had swallowed a box of thumb tacks. I wish somebody would tell me what's going on.
"Hinata... How are feeling?" Kageyama said quietly. He looked scared. Was he scared for me?
"F-Fin-" I said, but then a pain shot through my throat. He looked at me and tilted his head in confusion.
"Are you okay?" He asked again. I put my fingers to my throat trying to find a way to show how much pain I was in.

"Is your throat hurting?" He asked. I nodded my head. "The doctors said that might happen from all of the pressure put on your throat."
I tilted my head and scrunched my eyebrows.
"Do you not remember what happened?" He asked shocked. I shook my head. "Do you remember telling me about Koki." I nodded my head. "Do you remember anything after that?" I shook my head. I remember falling asleep in Kageyama's arms after I explained to him what was going on but that was it.
"Well, we fell asleep after you told me about Koki. When I woke up you were still asleep so I joined the team in the cafeteria and left you a note so you knew where I was. Well about an hour later I got a call from you. You said that Koki had texted you and said that if you didn't meet him outside the room then he would hurt me. You said you didn't know what to do and so I grabbed Kuroo and we came up to scare him off. You stayed on the call so that we knew what was happening on your side on the line. When we got off the elevator we heard a crash and a scream from the phone. We raced down the hallway and to the room. Koki had you pinned you against the wall and was choking you. Kuroo and I tried to pull him off but we weren't strong enough. You blacked out from the lack of oxygen and I hit Koki and knocked him out. We called 911. The police arrested Koki and I rode with you to the hospital. You were out for 2 days. The team comes in everyday to visit and we called your dad so that he would be aware of the situation but he hasn't visited yet." Kageyama explained to me.
I stared at him in disbelief. How could I forget that? I felt my eyes pool with tears and they instantly began to pour out. Why do things like this always happen to me?
"Hinata... I'm so sorry... I told you I wouldn't let him hurt you... I failed you..." Kageyama said as he to began to cry. "If I had just stayed with you there's a chance none of this would have happened."
I took his hand in mine and looked into his eyes. I shook my head and I think he got the message I was trying to send because he calmed down a bit. This wasn't his fault. He and Kuroo couldn't stop Koki together so If Kageyama would've been there with me he would've just gotten hurt to. But I know how Kageyama is. He'll blame himself for this no matter what anyone says to him. I don't know how to help him.
I scooted over a bit and patted next to me. He climbed onto the bed and laid down beside me, his head right under my where my collar bone is. I held his hand and I looked down at his face. His eyes were shut and his breath was slow. He had dark circles under his eyes. He must not have slept much since he's been here. I drew circles on top of his hand with my thumb. He obviously needed the rest. I leaned my head on his and allowed my eyes to shut as well.
