Ami nods her head sadly, "That is what the doctor said. I am glad that we are here with her." "Mothers, I know that this is a major thing but with both Ami and Sachi with me, they will be able to handle the attack. They have both seen it in the past and know what to do." Amelia sat down and looked at the two ladies while smiling.
"She does have a point. It was Ami t5hat carried Amelia away to the infirmary and I carried Amelia"s things there and that was the first time we had ever seen her have an attack." Sachi looked at Amelia and her smile was so sad.
"I remember that day. It was break time and we were sitting in the cla.s.sroom and Amelia was resting her head on her desk. I saw her slipping from her desk and I quickly caught her. I ran her to the infirmary so that Sensei could look after her. Sensei brought over a pail and that was when Sachi showed up. Amelia puked up blood and it was so sad." Ami looked at Ami worried.
"I remember rus.h.i.+ng to her side and holding her hair back and trying to rub her back and that was when the coughing started. The scariest thing I had ever experienced in my exitance up until that point. It was truly frightening." Sachi moved closer to Amelia and patted her on the back. "It"ll be okay. We will be with you all night." She patted Amelia"s back.
Amelia lets out a sigh. "I know that this is very concerning for everyone. I will be safe with Sachi and Ami. They both know what I need and how to administer the medicine and what to give me. I will come and have dinner. Shall we all go and get something to eat. I don"t know about you guys but I am hungry." She got up and walked towards the door.
Sachi got up and followed Amelia closely. She nodded at Ami and left the room.
Ami bowed her head and looked at the two older ladies. "Amelia doesn"t like it when we worry about her all the time. She would rather us let her live her life as she pleases. I get that it is hard but we will watch out for her more than anyone else."
Irene walked over to Ami, "I know that you will do all that you can for Amelia. She is my little girl and I cannot help but panic. I will be all smiles at dinner."
"I am concerned but what you are saying is also something that we will be able to deal with. If you need two think that you need me, you can wake up Miyuki and get her to get me. I will arrange the carriage if need be." Edna smiles and looks at the doorway. "Come we shall go and eat now." She leads the way out.
Amelia could hear Sachi walking behind her. "You know that I did not want to tell them but you did it anyway. Do you really care?"
"If I didn"t care I wouldn"t say anything. You are not okay, Amelia. I know that you do not want to worry them but if you hide this that will hurt them more when they find out that you hid the truth because you did not want to worry them. I think that you are a silly girl but there is nothing that can be done about it now. I told them the truth and you know that they will not bring it up over a meal." Sachi stops walking down the hallway and grabs Amelia"s hand.Why do you push us away when you know that we will help you?"
"Sachi, it is not like I want to push you away but there is nothing I can do. To be honest, I didn"t want people to get attached to me but you and Ami treat me like I am a normal human. That is the reason I open up to you both. I am afraid that you will leave my friends.h.i.+p." Amelia starts to tear up.
"Oh, Amelia, you are so silly. We really care about you and you care about us. You worry that we will suffer but if you cut your loved ones oot then they will suffer. Do not block us out and tell us how you feel." Sachi hotels Amelia in the hallway and pats her on the back.
"I"m sorry that I did that to you guys without thinking about your feelings. I know that it is not easy to deal with my emotions. I will try to unlock my heart and tell you girls how I am feeling. Right now, I am scared." Amelia hugged Sahci back and the tears landed on her yukata.
Sachi pulls out a handkerchief and wipes Amelia"s tears away. "There is my hidden beautiful friend. Do you know what is the most heartbreaking about all this is? You are still unsure of what you want to do. And you are still afraid that you will not live up to the expectations of others."
"I-I can"t dispute that. I am sorry for causing you concern. I will do what I can. I am a little panicky over the fact that Gabriel is not here. I want him to come home." Amelia admits her thoughts out loud and she heaves a big sigh. "I think I get what you are trying to say." She opens the door to the banquet room and walks up the s.h.i.+romuku. "What do you think of this?"
Sachi looks at the s.h.i.+romuku and sighs in awe. "It is truly amazing and will look perfect on you. You will make it through this attack. That isn"t just me saying this but it is what I believe. This s.h.i.+romuku is meant to be yours to wear on your big day."
Ami strolled into the room with Edna and Irene "Oh wow! That is truly your style Amelia. I bet that is going to look stunning on you." She went to Amelia"s side and admired the s.h.i.+romuku that was in the corner.
