Chapter 30 (Ending)

"L/n, we need to go and warm-up," Yui told me, turning my attention to her

"Let me finish changing!" I exclaimed while I quickly pulled my jersey over my head

"You seem like you have a lot on your mind." She comments while I tuck my shirt into my shorts

"Just some family problems."

"F/n." I heard my name called, turning my attention to Akina who was standing at the door

"We need to talk." She said with a little wave for me to follow her

"We will be right back," I tell Yui

"But we have to warm-up!" Yui said while I headed for the door

"This will only take a second," I say before quickly heading out the door to follow Akina

She stopped once we got to an empty stairwell, turning to face me while the door shut behind us.

"I know you are still mad at me, but I have something important to tell you-" I paused before adding "Well two."

She stared down at her hands while she thought "I have something important to tell you, too."

The awkward silence filled the room causing both of our eyes to meet before we both started laughing.

"Akina, I'm sorry for not telling you about me getting my memories back." I apologized

"I'm sorry for blowing up and getting mad at you, I just thought you would tell me something so important." She said

"I was going to, but I couldn't find the right time," I explained and paused before adding "So are we good?"

"Yea, of, course," She said goofily before hugging me, making us both laugh

"What that the important thing you had to tell me?" She asked while our laughter died down

"No, but I will have to tell you later we need to go and warm-up," I say, earning a sigh from her

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Now, let's go win this thing and got to Nationals!" She said excitedly before we both ran towards the gym together

-

I looked at my teammates who looked equally out of breath like me.

"We got this, you guys!" I yelled while we watched as the girl on the other team prepare to serve

The ball came flying over which Yui easily received, sending the ball to Akina.

I already had jumped by the time the ball reached Akina.

"Don't let her go unmarked!" I hear the other team yell while a girl ran towards me but by the time she jumped the ball was already on their side of the court.

'One more.' I thought to myself while I glanced over at the scoreboard

24-23 in the 4th set, our match point

'We have to win this set, if we go into a 5th we will be so worn out.' I thought to myself while the other team called a time-out

"When did the volleyball boys get here?" Yui asked while she glanced up at the group of boys in black jackets

"You got this!" Hinata yelled while the rest of the team mixed into cheers

"F/n," Akina called me, causing me to draw my attention to her

"Huh?"

"Next time..." She explained to me, and my eyes widened

"You noticed that too."

"It's just a theory, but I don't know for sure." She said while I glanced over at the time

"I haven't seen her jump at all this game," I say and she nods

"And it should work out since you're in the back row now," Akina said and I looked worriedly at her

"But we have never had a back attack work before."

"It will work," Akina said calmly while the whistle was blown

I make my way to the back before the ball is thrown to me.

'Float or Jump serve?' I thought to myself while I started my serve routine

I toss the ball into the air, and mid-jump I decide what I was going to do

'Throw them off with a jump float to their setter.' I thought to myself while I watched as the ball floated towards the setter

I watched as the setter received the ball, causing a little panic for the team but another player set the ball to their ace.

My eyes met with the eyes of the ace before she hit the ball directly at me.

'To think she can get such a hard hit off of a bad set.' I thought to myself while the ball returned to the air

"Watch number 4!" I hear the same girl yell again while Akina prepares to set the ball, but last second she tipped the ball over to the other side

"A setter's dump?!?" I almost yelled in confusion while the ball hit the ground, and Akina glanced at me with a smirk

"I haven't done one all game, and you were unsure about a back attack." She said before the buzzer went off indicating the game was over

My team broke out into cheers and disbelief

"We are going to Nationals!" Yui said through her tears of happiness, causing me to smile

"We did it," Akina said while she joined me

"To think our first year would be so successful," I said and she nodded

"It's only because the 3rd years decided to play again this tournament." She said and I agreed because without the 3rd years to back us we would have won.

"Let's line up you guys," Yui tells us, and she all line up together

As we line up our fans cheer "Thank you for coming." Yui says before we all bow

"Good game, girls!"

"You worked hard, you deserve it!"

"Good game!"

"Onto Nationals!"

The fans say to us before we head back to the bench to get our stuff.

"I'm so ready to sleep," I comment while we walk into the hall

"What about celebrating?" Akina asked me and I shrugged

"We can do that later, right,"

"Yea, but-" She started while a pair of arms wrapping around my shoulders from the back made her stop

"So you're going to sleep instead of watching my game?" Kageyama asked while he rested his chin on my shoulder, causing Akina's eyes to widen

"I will watch your game, but no promises I won't fall asleep," I tell him with a small smile

"Kageyama, hurry up we need to go change." I hear Hinata call Kageyama

"Shiratrorizowa is a big school," I say to Kageyama

"It doesn't matter, we are going to win." He said while he stood up

"Good Lu-" I start to say but a soft pair of lips meeting mine cut me off

"I'll see you guys after the game," Kageyama says with a wave while I stood there in a daze

"F/n?" Akina called causing me to come out of my daze

"Huh?" I hummed while we walked together down the long hall

"Is that the important thing you wanted to tell me?" She asked and I nodded a bit

"How long?" She asked while we stopped in front of the locker room

"A little after me and you fought." I shyly said

"Is he using you for your body?"

"Aki-"

"He is isn't he?"

"List-"

"I'm going to kill him." She says angrily while she began to walk towards their locker room, but I catch her wrist just in time.

She glanced back at me very angrily, causing me to laugh

"No, he is not," I say through my laughter, causing her to relax

"What was the other important thing you had to tell me?"

"I'll explain whenever we sit down." I said before adding and opening the door to the lockerroom "And changed."

-

"YOU'RE MOM WANTS YOU TO WHAT?" She exclaimed loudly causing some of the volleyball boys to glance up at us

"Shhhhh." I shushed her while I gave a reassuring smile to our captain who looked at us

"Why would she do something like that?" Akina asked and I shrugged

"I think she worries more about my future than myself," I said while I stared down at the volleyball court

"Did you tell her about Kageyama?"

"No."

"Maybe if she knows that you are with him, maybe she won't push you as much," Akina said and I shook my head

"I'm scared she would end up hurting him."

"Do you have any ideas on how to stop it?" She asked then added, "Since you don't want to tell her about Kageyama."

"Kageyama has said something about running away until we could get married."

"He said what?" Akina said with her eyes widened

"But I wouldn't want him to ditch his volleyball career because of me," I said before adding

"But-"

"The next idea would for me to go with my mom to Tokyo, and right before she wants me to get married to run away."

"What about Karasuno, and Kageyama?" Akina asked and I shugged

"I'm still not sure," I said with a sigh while the game was wrapping up

"It looks like they are going to win," I commented while the scored board changed again before adding "Didn't you have something you wanted to tell me?"

Akina nervously laughed before saying "You remember Nami."

I nodded remembering the Blue-haired girl, "Yea, what did she steal my best friend spot?"

"N-No," She shuttered while she stared down at her hands "We are dating."

I stared at her, while what she said processed through my mind "You are what?"

"Dating." She said more confidently while she looked me in the eyes, causing me to smile

"I'm so happy for you!" I said while I tackled her with a hug before the buzzer went off indicating that the game was over

"THEY WON!" Akina yelled loudly while we both started to jump up and down at our seats

"Both teams are going to go to Nationals!" I said excitedly while cheered for the boys before quickly heading into the hallway

"I guess we should wait to congratulate them until after they change," Akina said while we watched as the boys were already surrounded by people before they headed into the locker room.

"L/n, Kim, we need to head out," Yui said while the rest of the team headed towards the exit

"What about congratulating them?" I asked

"It will have to wait until we get back to school," Yui said while she headed towards the door

"Come on F/n, you will see him later," Akina said while she started to drag me out the door

"Fine." I said giving in before adding "So how long have you and Nami been dating?"

"A little over a week," Akina said shyly while we walked together towards the bus

"Awww I can't believe I missed that."

"We could have a double date," Akina said jokingly causing me to burst into laughter while we got onto the bus

"Yea let's do it," I say jokingly back before sitting down towards the front of the bus

Our conservation continued on for a few minutes before Akina decided to go to sleep.

'I should text him, before I fall asleep myself.' I thought to myself I pulled out my phone

Congratulations on Winning!

Was all I could text before panicked voices filled the air, and I glanced in time to see another bus coming right at us before everything went black.

-

The familiar strong smell of bleach was overwhelming. I scrunched my eyes at the bright light that was slipping through my eyelids.

I slowly started blinking, desperately trying to open my eyes to see what's around me. As I was blinking I started to notice my surroundings. I was in the hospital, again.

I heard voices from outside my door

"What if her brain is redamaged."

"We will know we she wakes up."

"But-"

"We shouldn't think of the worse case."

I sat up, fixing the pillows behind me so I could sit up comfortably.

I looked at my arms, I had a few bruises and scrapes but otherwise, I felt fine. I was able to move my body freely, so I concluded that nothing was broken.

'What happened?' I thought to myself while I thought back to what happened

'We were heading back to our school, then-' I thought to myself before mumbling "The bus hit us." causing the doctors in the hallway to notice I was awake

"L/n, how are you feeling?" The female doctor asked me while I turned my attention towards her

"Just fine, how is everyone else?" I asked and she smiled

"Everyone is fine, luckily you all made it out with minimum injuries." She said with a smile before adding "We are going to do a few tests on you, then you will be released."

"What about the boy?" The male nurse asked causing the doctor to nod

"Let him see her before we start the tests, he was been since she has arrived." She said before walking out of the room

"You have a visitor." The male nurse finally reports to me before adding "Would you like to see them?"

"Yes," I said with a small smile before the nurse disappeared down the hallway before a blue-eyed boy appeared

"F/n." He called like he was out of breath from running, causing me to smile

"I'm fine," I reassure him before adding, "They said I could leave after a few tests probably-" I was cut off from my explanation, by a pair of arms wrapping around me

"I thought I had lost you again." He mumbled and I could tell he was on the verge of tears

"You're not going to lose me," I said softly, while I hugged him back

"But what if you forget about me, again?"

"Then I guess you will have to remind me."

"L/n, are you ready to start-" I heard the female doctor start before quickly saying "I'm sorry I'll-"

"Let's start them now," I said before adding "The quicker I get them done, the quicker I get to go home."

"Ok, Tobio?" I said in a questioning tone while I let go of the raven-haired boy

"You are just trying to get rid of me." He said causing me to laugh a bit

"No, I just want to get out of here as soon as I can," I said while he let go of me

"Tests are not going to kill me," I said jokingly

"Are you sure?" He said jokingly back, with a small smile, and I nodded

"Once they are done we can go home and eat some yogurt," I said with a smile

"Promise?"

"Promise."

-

"Miss L/n, your mom is asking that you stay here for the night to be sure your past injuries do not reassure." The doctor told me while she finished the last test

"What if I don't want to?" I asked and she shook her head

"We need to make sure nothing happens, in the morning you will be allowed to leave." '

'That's what you said about the tests.' I thought to myself before saying "Fine, but this time I will hold you to it."

"You should rest, you have had a long day." The doctor said while she changed my IV bag

"What about Kageyama?" I asked sleepily

"We sent him home, luckily he understood." I heard her say while my eyes slowly gave in to the tiredness

'He left?'

-

I felt my body being moved at a fast rate, and my eyes quickly opened to look at my surrounding

"Where am I?" I quickly asked while I realized I didn't wake up in the hospital I fell asleep in

"We are going home." I heard my mom's voice beside me

"What do you mean by home?"

"Tokyo." She said while I looked at her

"Are you crazy?" I exclaimed while I pulled on the door to open "I'm not going anywhere."

"I explained to you what was going to happen before, but you wouldn't do it willingly so-"

"You can't kidnap me!" I yelled while I continued to try to open the door, but this time with tears in my eyes

"This isn't a kidnapping, you are my daughter!" She exclaimed back

"But you don't control my life!"

"I am only doing what is best for you." She calmly said

"What about everything you are making me leave behind!"

"You should've broken ties with that boy." She said now staring out the window, causing me to go wide-eyed

"What do you mean?" I said worriedly before yelling "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"

"Nothing, I just left a note."

"A note?"

-Author's P.O.V.-

"What do you mean she went to Tokyo?" The raven-haired boy asked the nurse in front of him

"Her mom came to pick her up this morning, she said they were headed for Tokyo."

"F/n, wouldn't just leave. That's not her." Akina said angrily while the nurse held up his hand

"I really don't know anything." He said before adding "You should ask the doctor that took care of her."

"Then where is she?" Akina pushed on before the nurse quickly head to get the doctor

"Kageyama?" Akina asked in a questioning tone, while the raven-haired boy stared at the ground blankly

'I wonder what he is thinking.' Akina thought to herself, before saying "Whatever is going on, I know it's a lie. F/n, wouldn't just leave us."

"Can I help you?" The female doctor from before appeared in front of them

"L/n F/n, she was your patience, correct?" Akina asked and she nodded

"If I remember correctly her mom came to pick her up this morning." She said and Akina nodded

"Are you sure nothing weird was going on?"

"I don't understand what you mean, she was asleep when they left but her mom showed proof that she was her mom." The doctor explained

"See Kageyama, I told you she wouldn't just leave us!" Akina said causing the doctor's eyes to widen

"You're Kageyama? She left a note for you." The doctor said while she pulled out an envelope before handing it to Kageyama

"Ma'am we need you." I nurse said to the doctor

"I have to go, but I hope all is well." She said with a small smile before disappearing

Akina looked up at Kageyama, who stared down at the envelope before handing it to Akina

"I can't read it."

"Why?"

"I-" He started to protest before finally saying "I just can't"

"Then I will read it to you," Akina said and Kageyama nodded before she opened it

"Dear Kageyama,

By the time you read this, I will be long gone. Please don't search for me, I don't want to make this harder for either of us. The time we spent together was indescribable, and I will never forget you but I don't see a future with you. I plan to do as my mother says because I know she is doing what is best for me. I'm sorry it had to end this way.

F/n L/n"
