Chapter 9
Fuutarou Uesugi was walking home from a long day of classes.
"Dang it, why'd I take so many classes on my semester? Normally I'd be thrilled to have all this alone time to study, but the quintuplets..."
He had decided, that today was the day he would confront them. Not in a threatening way, but just to sit down and talk with them. However on his way home he felt doubts in his mind.
What if they didn't forgive him? What if they all couldn't go back to normal because of him? What if they were truly hurting on the inside and it was all his fault?
The thoughts kept piling up. The doubts were flooding his brain. For once in his life he felt stressed about something other than schoolwork which was rare. Itsuki had told him that they wouldn't care and that he should just be honest with them.
But that was easy enough to say, could he really do it?
What if she was also lying to him? What if nothing really was okay? Why couldn't things go back to normal? Why didn't he just show up?
He didn't know exactly what he wanted to happen. He just wished that he could just restart all over again. Yeah, restart. That's exactly what he wanted to happen!
If only he could restart, have everything he did wrong and wipe it out of his memory. If only.
If only.
Those two words then became a reality.
If only.
Looking back he would have just kept things the way they were. However, he can't turn back the clock.
If only.
Maybe if he said if only things could've stayed the same...
Unfortunately the universe had other thoughts to what that "If only" meant.
Itsuki waited impatiently, Fuutaoru was supposed to meet with them at six. It was now six thirty. She knocked next door, only to be answered by Takeda.
"May I help you?" He asked.
"Hey, where's Uesugi-kun?" She asked.
"I don't know, he hasn't come back."
Maeda chimed in from the other room. "That punk still hasn't done the dishes!"
Just then Itsuki phone rang. "Hello?"
Raiha was on the other end, her voice sounded shaky.
"I-Itsuki?"
The Nakano slightly panicked hearing her friend's voice.
"What's wrong?"
"D-do you know what happened to Fuutarou?"
"N-no, why did something happened?" She questioned.
"He didn't call at five, he always calls at five! He promises, even when he's really busy he always calls!" Raiha sobbed.
"Maybe he just forgot..." Itsuki said trying to be positive.
Just then the door opened, Itsuki was expecting Fuutarou, it was just her sisters.
"Itsuki, we just got a call from dad." Yotsuba said quietly.
"What? What'd he say?" Itsuki wondered what in the world could be more important than finding Fuutarou.
"Well, it's Fuutarou..." Ichika said.
"What does dad and Fuutarou have to do with anything?" Itsuki practically screamed.
"Itsuki just let us finish..." Miku calmed her down.
"He's in the hospital," Nino said almost in a whisper.
"WHAT?!" Itsuki gasped.
"He was apparently hit by a drunk driver on the way home from school."
"How?! It's only six who in the world can be drunk at six!?" Itsuki practically lost her mind.
Just then her phone rang again. "Hello Raiha?"
"Itsuki, meet us at your dad's hospital, Fuutarou is there!" She said, but her voice seemed very concerned.
Itsuki looked at her sisters. "Let's go!" And they rushed off to the hospital.
When they arrived Raiha and her father were waiting in the lobby. Raiha ran over to Itsuki for a hug.
"What happened? What did they say?" Itsuki asked.
Raiha couldn't answer, she was too chocked up. So her father answered.
"Your pops said that he's alive, he was only clipped by the driver, however he banged his head on the road. He only needs stitches, but your pops said that there's a slight chance that he doesn't remember who he is." Isanari sighed.
"It's Fuutarou guys, relax, he's got a hard head anyways." Nino smiled sadly.
"We just have to hope for the best." Miku said confidently.
The Nakano's father, Maruo Nakano then approached the group.
"Maruo, how's my son?" Isanari asked.
"We won't know for sure if somethings wrong with the brain until he wakes up." Maruo responded. "For now we know that he's alive and breathing well."
"That's a relief to hear." Raiha said flashing her first smile today.
"If you'd like you may go to his room."
Raiha kept smiling. "Well," she turned to the quintuplets. "What are you waiting for?"
That earned some smiles from the group as they felt the tension subside.
They arrived soon after. Surprisingly Fuutarou woke up after about ten minutes.
"Do you know what your name is?" Maruo asked him.
"Fuutarou Uesugi."
"When's your birthday?"
"April 15th."
"Who is in your family?"
"I have a little sister named Raiha and a father. My mother died when I was kid."
That earned a hug from Raiha. "Onii-chan! You're back!"
Fuutarou looked confused. "What do you mean I'm back? Where did I go?"
Maruo had one more question, "Do you know who these five are?"
Fuutarou took a deep breath.
"I don't know who these five are."
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN! Okay here you all go, I had writers block but I finally decided to just go on with this sort of plot. Mainly because I had a writing assignment similar to this.
Anyways hope you all enjoyed and yeah I have school in like 2 seconds so I'll catch you all next time!
