To Save a Life(HRE x Chibitalia story)[Under Construction]

chp 4

     It had been a week since she found the message to her from Holy Rome. She was wandering around the house aimlessly, tears wanting to come out but she held them in. Hungary and Austria were at a world meeting today, she didn't feel up to going, so she told Romano everything that she would have announced.

     She walked out into the garden and started following a path into the forest. She didn't know where she was going, or what she was doing. I guess you could say she was in a comatose like state. She finally realized that she had wandered from the house when she tripped over a root and landed flat on her face.

     She sat up rubbing her nose, looking around to see where she was, and her heart caught in her throat. She was at the creek that she had always gone to with Holy Rome. She remembered all the games of tag they had played here. The many games of hide and seek that she had won, and how one time Holy Rome had slipped and gotten a fish in his pants. She giggled at the memory. The look on his face was pretty funny, he looked like a fish himself. She smiled, pulled of her shoes and put her feet into the cold creek. She lay back against a rock and sighed, letting that happy memories flow over her.

     The tears were running down her face in slow lines, but this time, they were tears of joy. Without consciously doing so she started singing.

Cover my eyes

Cover my ears

Tell me these words are a lie

It cant be true

That I'm losing you

The sun cannot fall from the sky

Can you hear heaven cry

Tears of an angel

Tears of aaaaaaaa...

Tears of an angel

Tears of an angel.

Stop every clock

Stars are in shock

The river will flow to the sea

I wont let you fly

I wont say goodbye

I wont let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry

Tears of an angel

Tears of aaaaaaaa...

Tears of an angel

Tears of an angel.

Tears Of An Angel

So hold on

Be strong

Everyday on we'll go

I'm here, dont you fear

Little one dont let go

(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)

Dont let go

(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)

Dont let go

(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)

Cover my eyes

Cover my ears

Tell me these words are a lie

     While she was singing she didn't feel her phone vibrate, and she didn't realize she accidentally answered it.

        (Now we go to the World Meeting she missed.)

     Germany was standing by the door, waiting for Italy to come in. When he saw Hungary and Austria walking alone, he knew Italy wasn't going to come. Hungary saw him and ran towards him.

     "Germany! Italy isn't coming. She, uh, she isn't feeling to well today..." She gave him a bad poker face and walked towards her seat, Austria followed and gave Germany a sympathetic glance. Germany sighed and took his seat.

     "Alright dudes!! The meeting is officially in-" Some one, Poland, raised their hand "Like, we're totally missing someone! Where's Italy?" Everyone turned towards Germany and he shook his head, as if to say 'I don't know.' Hungary stood up, "Well, um, Italy isn't feeling that well, so, she decided not to come..."

     Spain looked up at Hungary. He opened his mouth to say something when China raised his hand. "Why don't we call her~aru? Tell her to get better and such." Everyone nodded and China pulled out his cell phone, with it's very own Hello Kitty case. He dialed her number and put it on speaker phone, everyone was quiet, which kind of scared all the worker since they couldn't see what they were doing, and they gathered close to the phone so they could hear Italy.

     When they heard the line pick up China started talking when they heard Italy singing. Everyone stopped and listened. From the emotion in her voice, they could tell she was singing like she wanted someone to hear her, someone she hadn't seen for a long time. Many of the girls got tears in their eyes and some countries started slipping into sleep. 

     When she finished, China hung-up and put the phone in his pocket. Spain looked at Hungary and broke the silence. "It's about Holy Rome, isn't it?" Hungary nodded and Prussia glanced quickly at Germany, no one noticed though. Japan looked genuinely confused, along with many others. Hungary took a deep breath.

     "Holy Rome used to live with us in Mister Austria's house. He was Italy's best friend, and her first love." Every country was staring at her. "When he left to become a great empire, Italy was heart broken. She wouldn't come out of her room for weeks, she would hardly eat anything, and she would cry herself to sleep every night." Hungary took a deep breath and continued. "When she did finally come out of her room, she wouldn't talk to anyone. She would work in silence, she normally would sit next to Mister Austria when he played the piano, but for those months she would go to a different room."

     She stopped to see how everyone was handling the news. Romano had his fits clenched, tears streaming down his face, looking at his lap. Most of the countries looked shocked to hear that Italy, ITALY, the happiest country they new, used to cry herself to sleep. That Italy, the pasta and pizza lover, wouldn't eat. Italy, who always had a spring in her step, wouldn't hum.

     Hungary continued. "She wouldn't paint, and when she did, it was always pictures of him, and she would start crying and wouldn't finish it. Sometimes she would snap them in half. Worst of all was the fact that for months she wouldn't smile." This received gasps from the countries, Italy always seemed to have a smile on her face, even after the most depressing things happened, she would be the first to recover.

     "Once she did finally smile, it wouldn't reach her eyes. That took years. She's going through it again, she seems to be recovering faster this time though. We-we still haven't told her that Holy Rome died in battle. We couldn't stand to see her like that again, but we know we have to tell her eventually." She stopped talking and held back a sob, sitting back down, crying.

     Prussia looked around at everyone and quietly left, everyone was to shocked about the news of Italy being depressed. He had to go and see if she had found the letter yet. If she had, no mater what they said, she wouldn't be depressed anymore. He smirked and left.
