Past simple

My name is Nozomi, from Japan, and I never thought anyone noticed me.

Let's start at the beginning, like and subscribe.

Growing up, the only person who ever noticed me was my big sister, Akari.

My mom traveled for work so much that I even called Akari Mom.

When I was too little to understand what was going on.

My sister would take me to school, where I would sit in silence and never say a word to anyone until she picked me up again.

And then I. I wouldn't shut up the whole way home.

she liked playing games with me, like making me look like one of her dolls.

She would also give me a makeover using our mom's makeup.

Or dress me up as a monster and have me chase her around the house.

When we got older, our mom moved to another country for work.

She asked if we wanted to come, but we decided to stay.

Akari had graduated from university and had a real job now, so we didn't have much time to hang out.

But every Friday, I would wait for her at the train station near my school for when she got out of work.

And even though we grew up, nothing really changed.

Except now we didn't play dress up anymore.

Now we dressed up for real to go out to dinner or the arcade or whatever we wanted.

The only problem was I was still too shy to talk to anyone, especially boys.

One time when we were at the arcade, I saw a boy staring at us.

My cheeks got so red, my hands all clammy.

I suddenly froze up and couldn't even play the games anymore.

But you know, it would make me really happy if you tried at least once for me.

She gave me a dirty look, but she was only kidding.

I just had no idea how I would ever talk to a boy.

Then one Friday, the train that was supposed to arrive didn't come.

After 30 minutes, the train finally came, but Akari wasn't on it.

I called and called, but she didn't answer.

Then finally I got a call, but it was from a random number.

In the hospital, I found her lying there with her head bandaged.

They didn't know how, but she fell onto the tracks and hit her head.

The doctor said it was impossible to know when she would wake up from that day on.

I usually read to her, but one day I forgot my book.

And when I left, I ran into the nurse in the hallway.

If you have time, maybe you can talk to him too.

I think he was part of the accident she was involved with.

He didn't have any ID when he was brought in.

I imagined my sister being here all alone, with no one to talk to her all day.

He looked a couple of years older than me.

I sat down beside his bed and without even realizing it, I was just talking to him.

Thirty minutes later, I was finally out of things to talk about.

You know, you're the only boy I've ever talked to.

I started bringing two books to the hospital every day after that.

One for my sister and one for the boy with no name.

Something strange happened after I was reading to him for a few days.

Every night when I went home, I would think about him and even dream that we met and talked and fell in love.

I realized it was ridiculous to fall in love with someone I didn't even know.

And the next day, when I read to him, I tried to push the thoughts away.

But for some reason, I just couldn't help but think maybe it was love at first sight.

That night, I decided to leave the book I had been reading to him in the hospital closet so I wouldn't forget it.

But when I opened it, I saw there was a leather sketchbook inside.

I opened it and saw that it was drawings of people at the train station.

I realized then that the nurse was right.

They must have been in the same accident.
