Chapter 21 - What happened to you?

TJ stared at Hiro with a shocked expression "DANG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

Hiro twitched in surprise with TJ's shouting. "huh?"

TJ lowered his tone a little "you okay man? You look horrible. Did you sleep at all last night?"

Hiro stared at TJ as if he hadn't heard a single word he said.

"Hello?" TJ waved his hand in front of Hiro's face trying to get him to snap out of whatever he was occupied by.

Without success, Hiro stared blankly at the wall. Seeing this TJ began to get a little more annoyed. "HEY IM TALKING TO YOU!" He snapped. Hiro was still unresponsive. Already feeling a sense of urgency "I don't have time for this Hiro where is Haru?"

Only then did Hiro's eyes light up then dim again. Hiro reluctantly shared the information. "Riku told me that she was going to take her to the doctor to get her arm cast."

TJ breathed a sigh of relief knowing now it wasn't because of him that she didn't show up to work. After last night's date, TJ was worried that Haru might have been scared of his straight forwardness.

"Hiro you need to go home and rest. How are you even getting through the day if you can't even respond to simple questions I've been asking?"

"So? why do you even care TJ?" Hiro snapped back startling TJ. He then proceeded to walk past TJ and bumped him with his shoulder as he passed by.

TJ looked at Hiro with a weird face and ran his hand through his hair "What the heck is his problem?"

At the Doctors office, Haru sat patiently on the examination table as the doctor carefully put on her cast

"Ok, we're just about finished." She said as she put on the last few strips for Haru's cast. After she applied the last piece she slowly helped Haru lower her arm."Alright, you're done. Remember don't get it wet and be very careful. I'll supply you with a sling if it's too much for you to support on your own."

As the doctor let go of Haru's left arm she almost tipped over a little "Wow this is heavier than I expected." She chuckled while trying to support herself with her good arm.

The doctor smiled at her silliness "It will be a bit difficult for you to move around at first but with time you should have no problem."

"Thank you Doctor" Haru smiled

"No problem Ms. Haru" the doctor nodded as she smiled and left the room.

After the doctor left Riku walked in nonchalantly "Man that took forever."

"I'm sorry Riku" Haru smiled sheepishly.

"It's all good not like I waited outside the entire time anyway. I went to go run some errands while you were getting your arm done. I came back right when the Doctor was helping you exercise your arm. Talk about timing" She chuckled.

"Oh okay," Haru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her.

"Wanna go get something to eat?" Riku asked

"OOoo I want something spicy!" Haru jumped excitedly.

"You just read my mind girlfriend." Riku smiled and helped Haru off of the table.

bzzzt bzzt, Haru's phone began to buzz continuously.

"Who's that?" Riku asked looking at Haru.

"Oh it's just TJ" Haru replied nonchalantly.

"Just TJ?" Riku replied with a smirk.

"Oh hush he's just checking up on me since he didn't see me at work"

"So I see he's already stalking you huh?" Riku teased.

"PFFT, no way that can't even be possible." Haru slowly began to turn red.

Seeing this reaction Riku couldn't help but tease her more. "Can't deny the heart that is yearning."

"PFFFFFFFT" Haru burst out laughing. "You Ms. Riku are ridiculous. TJ is just a friend I don't think he likes me enough to stalk me. She chuckled at the thought.

After the two women had their lunch they made their way back to the condo.

"Just a friend huh?" Riku smirked. Haru looked at her confused until she looked at the person who was standing in front of their door. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"Hey, I didn't know if you were gonna stop by work so I decided to stop by and see how you were doing... WOW, that cast is huge compare to you." TJ teased

"Oh my gosh shut up." Haru retorted.

"I'm surprised you can lift the thing." TJ continued to tease.

"Tj please shut up you are just making me embarrassed" Haru's ears began to turn red as her friendly expression on her face began to disappear.

TJ chuckled nervously "S-Sorry I couldn't help it. You're just too cute with that giant cast."

Haru blushed fiercely "PLEASE JUST STOP!" Her face was slowly turning into a scowl as she glared at TJ.

Seeing this he quickly stopped "Okay okay I'm sorry let me help you inside." TJ offered and extended his arm to her. Before he could touch him she slapped his hand away and stomped into the house angrily, made it into her room, and slammed the door.

"Damn boy what did you do?" Riku scolded him with a sarcastic tone. She looked at him with no pity.

"I think I just made a big mistake..." TJ looked down in regret.

"Ya think?" Riku rolled her eyes with irritation. "If it were me I would have slapped you before you made that second joke."

"Go apologize to her, you idiot." Riku snapped "Don't expect her to open her door for you either." She walked away calmly.

TJ walked up to the door and knocked "Haru. I'm so sorry I didn't realize I was offending you so badly. I was just joking." He apologized. As he apologized a faint stomping was heard and it sounded like it was coming closer. Getting excited TJ thought that Haru was coming to open the door until the next moment he was on the ground. It took a moment for him to figure out what was going on.

Shaking himself out of a daze he slowly looked up to the side at the person standing next to him and his eyes were wide open in shock. Never in a million years would he have expected this person to have been the one to shove him to the ground.
