Chapter 3: The First Day

Tadashi's POV:

"Tadashi Hamada?" The same nurse asked again. My friends and I all ran over to the nurse's station to see what she was going to say. I could tell just by looking in her eyes that it bad news.

"I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but Hiro Hamada has slipped into a coma." I can't hold back my tears anymore. "You are all still free to visit him if you want." The nurse says. We decide to go into his room to see him. He looks so peaceful. I don't want to disturb him, yet at the same time, I just want to shake him until he wakes up. Or maybe someone should shake me until I wake up from this bad dream. It feels too awful to be real, yet it is. If it were a dream, my heart wouldn't be as broken as it is. Aunt Cass and I had visited him first. We had just watched him in his peaceful rest for a few hours. We were both hoping that he would wake up, even though we both knew that he wouldn't. It's now 9:30 AM and Aunt Cass had to go run the café.

I didn't want to leave his side. Gogo and Honey Lemon came in next.

Honey Lemon tried to have a normal conversation and pretend that it was normal but she eventually started crying. The incident even took a toll on Gogo. If she was fine, she would've told Honey Lemon to woman up, but she didn't. Gogo had told me that he'll wake up eventually. They had some classes to go to. Luckily Aunt Cass had called SFIT to tell them about what happened and I got excused from all of my classes today. My friends offered to take notes for me and fill me in on homework.

It's now 1:30. Fred has no classes (due to being a mascot) and Wasabi had all of his classes in the morning. Wasabi had brought notes from my morning classes for me and the homework. We tried to act like things were normal but we couldn't. It hurt too much. At about 3:00, they went home. I was alone. Well, not entirely because Hiro was there, but it didn't feel the same.

I tried talking to Hiro.

"Hiro? Can you hear me?" I asked him. "This is the first day you're in a coma. I hope you wake up soon."

At about 6:00, my friends started blowing my phone up with a group chat.

(Fred)Hey guys. Anybody up for a trip to the arcade?

(Wasabi) Sure

(Honey Lemon) I'd love to

(Gogo) Better than doing nothing

(Tadashi) Sorry, but I'll pass for tonight.

(Wasabi) What?

(Gogo) You sure?

(Fred) C'mon, man.

(Honey Lemon) This isn't like you, Tadashi.

(Tadashi) I SAID NO! PLEASE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! :(

I put my phone away and on mute. I can't leave his side.

Gogo's POV:

(Tadashi) I SAID NO! PLEASE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! :(

I can't believe that Tadashi had an outburst like that. Nobody had sent any more messages for like 5 minutes. I had to try to keep the conversation going.

(Gogo) Woman up, Tadashi

(Wasabi) Gogo? Was that really necessary?

(Gogo) What? We were all thinking it? I just said it

(Fred) She isn't wrong

Honey Lemon's POV:

I hope Tadashi is alright. He must be really tense. I decide to call him. After 2 rings, it went to voicemail. He must be really mad. He probably needs time to cool off.

Wasabi's POV:

I make another group chat. One with just me, Gogo, Fred, and Honey Lemon.

(Wasabi) Hey guys. Do you think Tadashi is alright?

(Honey Lemon) He just needs time to cool off

(Gogo) He needs to woman up

(Fred) Not true, Gogo.

(Wasabi) I think I'm gonna go work on my project

I put my phone away and go to school.
