for an injury on his neck, Oikawa visited every day after school. He talked with doctors and nurses about how important his little brother is and how worried he was.
Makki woke up in the hospital after a week, but he didn't recognize his surroundings because of the bandages around his neck. He remembered that he hit his head hard and his vision was blurry because of all the tears that he shed while he was asleep.
He had a concussion and his vision was blurry.
When he woke up he realized that he was in a private room instead of his regular hospital room, because he heard voices talking and laughing loudly.
He recognized those voices; it was his family.
He looked around the room trying to find a place he could go.
His family was sitting on the couch and they turned around and saw him.
Their faces immediately showed concern as they stood up to walk to Makki.
Oikawa approached his bed first and sat by his bedside.
"Oh my god, Makki!!".
Oikawa exclaimed as he grabbed Makki's hand.
Hajime approached and sat next to Oikawa, then Reiji and Hana stood behind Hajime and looked at Makki.
Rei sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder.I'm sorry".
"For what?"asked Makki softly
"For attacking your brother".
"It's alright. You're forgiven. It wasn't your fault".
Rei bowed his head 'sorry'.
"I know that I hurt your brother. I didn't mean to. It was just a spur of the moment thing. And I was drunk too, so it wasn't really my fault".
"Yeah, it's alright. You didn't mean it, so it doesn't really matter, does it?" said Makki softly
"Well, still.. Sorry".
"Don't be. It was an accident".
"But I'm the reason that you got hurt in the first place! I didn't want to punch you!".
"I'm sure that you didn't mean to do it".
"I know.. I'm sorry, again. I'm sorry for hurting you".
"There's nothing to be sorry for! Really".
"But, you got hurt because of me".
"But it's not your fault, remember? You didn't mean to hurt me either. I forgive you"Okay... Thanks".
Makki smiled at the boy.
Oikawa smiled back.
Then Makki sighed and said "I don't understand. Where did the guy go?"
Hajime and Reiji looked around to see if they can spot the guy.
"Maybe he was just checking out someone else".
"Maybe".
The three of them continued talking for awhile longer.
After the guys were done chatting with their siblings and friends, they bid them goodbye.
Oikawa and Makki said their goodbyes to their parents and then they left the airport and made their way to the hotel where they would stay tonight.
After reaching their hotel room, Oikawa and Makki dropped their luggage inside the room and then went outside to meet their parents to say goodbye.
The four of them hugged each other tight and cried together until Makki noticed a figure walking away from their hotel room.
"Hey! Wait!! Who are you?! Come back!!!"said Makki angrily.
The figure turned around and smiled at him.
"Hiya!"smiled the stranger.
Makki ran after him but was held back by Oikawa.
"Makki stop! You're going to scare the stranger!"said Oikawa.
"He's not a stranger! Let me go!!!" shouted Makki.
Makki struggled to break free from Oikawa's hold, but he didn't succeed.
After struggling, Makki stopped fighting Oikawa because of his grip on him.
"Let go of me! That person is bad news! I don't trust him! I swear!".
"Stop!"shouted Oikawa while holding Makki back.
"He's a bad guy! Let me go! I have to go and warn my parents!".
"No!! Stop yelling at me and stop saying bad things! If you keep shouting like that, I'm going to scream".
Makki stopped struggling and stopped screaming, but he still glared at the stranger.
The stranger waved at Makki and said, "See ya later, Makki-chan~! Bye Makki!".
"See you later, Makki".
Makki stared at the stranger for a long time and then he turned around to look at his father.
His father then looked at the stranger and said to Makki "We're leaving. See you later".
"Bye bye everyone"The three of them went to the hotel parking lot, got into the car and drove away.
Chapter 3
It's been two weeks since that incident.
After the incident with Makki, the family decided to leave and never come back to the apartment they shared with Makki.
The only person that knew about the incident was Makki.
They kept it under wraps so no one else knew.
They wanted to give Makki some space to recover.
Makki, however, felt guilty.
He should've gone to check up on his brother and not attack him. But he got scared and didn't really remember what happened after he tried to punch Oikawa.
So he ended up ignoring everything that happened and didn't do anything about it, which was a huge mistake.
Because of that mistake, his brother got beaten and got hurt because of him.
Makki was extremely worried about his brother.
Especially considering what he said.
'He wouldn't be able to get over his fear easily'.
Makki didn't understand why his brother would be afraid.
He wasn't that scary. He couldn't even begin to be scary. He was weak and didn't deserve that treatment.
If anything he deserved that punishment more than Oikawa.
He started having nightmares whenever he saw that person from before.Those dreams became very frequent as time passed and sometimes Makki even dreamt of those people and he couldn't wake himself up.
The nightmares started getting worse each night and that scared Makki because of the possible outcomes of these nightmares.
On some nights, the dream was different. The dreams were actually happy and peaceful, but on others days Makki would be stuck in those nightmare scenarios.
That kind of nightmares scared Makki so much that he didn't sleep at night anymore.
He'd lie awake and stare at the ceiling.
Sometimes he would stare at the ceiling for hours and even days and he just couldn't close his eyes. His insomnia was unbearable.
His dad and mom noticed this and started asking what the problem was, but Makki refused to tell anyone what was wrong with him, even if they asked again and again.
Makki had trouble sleeping, but he managed to fall asleep during the day.
But at night he would struggle to sleep because he was so scared of the nightmares.
One night, Makki was in a bad dream about being tied down and unable to move.
He was scared because he was alone in a dark place without his brother or anyone else.
Suddenly he heard loud footsteps and he opened his eyes.
He was confused because he didn't think anyone was around in the darkness.
"When he realized that something was there in the darkness, he panicked.
Makki jumped up from his bed and ran towards the window hoping to open it.
Before he got to the window, the door burst open and there stood a man.
A big scary man dressed all black and covered in tattoos.
Makki froze and stood paralyzed staring at him.
The man looked at Makki and smirked.
Makki closed his eyes when the man reached toward him and touched him.
Makki screamed in pain.
"What's wrong with you?"the man asked.
"Get off of me! Leave me alone!!!"shouted Makki while crying
"What happened to you?"
Makki began sobbing. "You broke my arm".
The man looked shocked at Makki.
"What? Why would I break your arm??"
"You punched me, in the face, and broke my arm".
"Why would I do that".
"You hit me in the stomach with your elbow".
"Why would I do that?"
"You didn't hit me with an elbow".Then what's wrong with you??"asked the man.
Makki was confused by what the man was saying. "What?"
"What's wrong with you??" repeated the man.
Makki shook his head. "What are you talking about?".
"Are you crazy? Do you need help???"asked the man.
Makki looked surprised.
The man looked at Makki again and asked "Are you okay??".
Makki nodded and asked "Why do you ask? Did something happen??".
The man raised his eyebrow and said. "Have you not notice that? Your arm looks broken".
"Wha.. What do you mean? My arm is fine".
"Look".
The man pointed at Makki's arm.
Makki looked down at his arm and saw that his arm was indeed broken.
The man looked at Makki and asked "Do you think your arm is broken? How broken? Can you feel it or is it numb?".
Makki shook his head. "My arm isn't broken...".
The man grabbed Makki's right wrist to look at his watch.
"
