Chapter 4

"Murasaki? Who is this?" I asked looking at the girl in front of me on the hospital bed.

Murasaki walked over to the girl and stroked her head delicately. She had a blank expression but I could see the pain in her eyes.

She must be her sister... I thought. Either that or a really close friend maybe. Murasaki still wasn't answering my question.

"Is she your sister or something?..." I tried to guess.

Murasaki shook her head. I walked over the front of the bed and read the name.

"Y/N L/N..." I read off it. "Who's y/n l/n? Do you know her?"

Murasaki nodded her head before finally answering.

"...My name is y/n l/n."

"WAIT WHAT!?" I was so confused. How in the hell is she a girl who is currently lying motionless in a bed on heavy life support? "Wha- H-how?..."

"Um... I don't really know 100 percent...." She sat on the bed next to the girl still not looking directly at me. "But... I have a theory."

"What is it?"

"Um... well this one day my parents and I were driving back from a funeral... We were at a set of traffic lights when..." She bit her lip and I saw tears rolling down her cheek. "Something happened. They found out some guy, shot a wheel of out car and we crashed... I was asleep at the time in the car... I was the only one to survive... Well sort of survive. This me is in a coma. I have been for a month. But one day at four o'clock I wake up and here I am in this weird costume with psychic powers.... so... surprise I guess..."

I walked over to her as she stood up I was about to say something when she beat me to it.

"We should probably get going." Without another word y/n was out the window again and was walking on thin air across to a building. I took one last look at the y/n in the hospital bed before following her out.

She was sitting on the side of the building as I came over a sat next to her.

"Uh, thank you for showing me." I awkwardly said.

"Well no one else knows and it's not like I have anyone else to talk to so..." She sadly smiled. I grabbed her hand softly rubbing my thumbs on it. She didn't pull away. Y/n just kept looking into the city.

I then decided to do something that I would probably regret but stuff it. I took off my hood to reveal my messy hair. "Peter Parker." I stated blankly.

"Pardon?" She looked at me.

"My name is Peter Parker." I smiled. She smiled back.

"Well then." She then flipped her hood back and brought her buff down to reveal her face. It was so pretty. She stuck her hand out for me to shake. "Nice to meet you Peter. I'm y/n." I shook her hand lightly.

Y/n then shuffled closer to me and I put my arm around her shoulders she put her arm around my torso. I felt my face heat up greatly. Then another question came to my mind.

"Hey why do you disappear at like seven o'clock every every day?" I asked still not moving from my position.

"Oh yeah. So I appear every day at four. And then disappear at seven so I just go to an isolated spot because I reappear there the next day."

"Oooooh. Ok. I always thought that you had something as your ego..." I shrugged.

"That would be nice..." She trailed off. It must be really hard seeing all of these kids around the city coming back from school with normal lives and she can't do any of those things...

"If you don't mind me asking, what is it like? You know being in a coma?" I knew it was a touchy topic so I tried me best to keep it light.

"Well... it's really weird. I can hear everything around me in the hospital but I cannot move or say anything... but it's like I'm on this massive landscape that has an orange tint to it. It's weird. Anyway it's like that until four o'clock when I become Murasaki.

"Woah... that must be weird."

"Yep." she smiled. "It gets really boring when I have no one to talk to..."

"You know what." I got an idea. She looked at me to continue. "I get out of school at 2:45. I will go to the hospital every day from then on until four o'clock when you turn up."

"What!? Really! Y-you really don't need to-"

I cut her off "I want to. I promise."

"Thank you..." She smiled sadly. "That would really make being in a coma all day a little less boring."

"If you don't mind me asking, what's keeping you in a coma?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Some weird thing stabbed into my brain during the crash and they cannot find it. All they know is that I have internal brain bleeding and they can't fix it." She sighed. "I don't know how much longer I can survive..."

"What do you mean!?" I freaked out at her words.

She gulped before answering. "I'm slowly dying... and since I have no family to decide they decide when to turn off my life support. Which is the only thing keeping me alive."

I felt 1000 daggers being stabbed in my heart. The one girl I trust more than anyone even though I've only known her for a short time, the one girl I care about... Is slowly dying... she could be taken away from me...

I've got to do something.

Anything.

I was about to say something more when y/n stood up suddenly. "Crap. I've only got like 3 more minutes until I disappear."

I stood up too. "O-Ok... well I'll stay here until you do." I smiled.

"R-really?" She smiled at me kindly.

"Yeah."

For the next 3 minutes we just talked lightly until y/n flickered.

"Time's up I guess." She looked at her flickering hand.

"So I'll see you here tomorrow then?"

"Yep. See ya." See looked into my eyes smiling. She then kissed my cheek before she disappeared completely leaving me with the biggest smile on my face.

For a while I just stood there with the same stupidly big smile on my face. Then I realised that I should probably get back home now. But before swinging off I crawled around the side of the hospital to look at y/n.

There she was through the glass I could see her. She was still asleep. But something was different...

She was smiling.
