Chapter 1

Ulrich's P.O.V

I was skateboarding to Yumi's I was finally going to tell her how much i loved her when I saw a semi run a red light swerve and the last thing I remembered was a huge force knocking into to me as I laid there in pain screaming but eventually the pain was to much and I fell unconscious.

Yumi's P.O.V.

I was on the tv flipping through channels when I heard a gigantic crash outside and a boy screaming for help. I rushed out with my phone in hand to discover a flipped semi and a figure laying next to it. I took a step closer to discover the figure out of all the things it could've been it was Ulrich. I rushed to him cradling him in my arms as I called 9-1-1 it took all my strength to hold back my tears and tell them what happened.

Operator, " 911 what is your emergency."

" My friend was just hit by a semi his pulse is really weak and he's unconscious it happened on Sparrow Drive."

Operator, " Stay on the line an ambulance is headed there now."

Sirens wailed in the distance and when the ambulance finally arrived I got out my phone and texted Odd, Jeremy, and Aelita to meet me at the hospital. As they carried Ulrich in a stretcher into the ambulance I climbed into the back insisting on coming with him and not letting anyone keep me from doing so.

Odd's P.O.V.

My phoned beeped and I gasped when I saw the word hospital. I Immediately grabbed Jeremy and Aelita even though it was lunch I suddenly lost my appetite. This is how I knew something was really wrong since I'm always starving. Their phone went off too so I'm assumed they got the same text when I saw the confusion in their eyes. When we go to the hospital the first thing we saw was Yumi in the waiting room crying for the first time since we met her.

Yumi's P.O.V.

I was relieved when I saw the gang walked through the door. The entire story just poured out about how a semi ran into him and that the driver was fine but Ulrich's still out and they won't tell me anything. A doctor walked in " Are you Yumi?"

"Yes."

"Ulrich has a concussion, his left arm was almost crushed but it'll be fine, and he's been paralyzed from the hip down the good news is he's finally come to and he will live through this and he really is lucky to be alive but we aren't sure if he'll walk again

I burst I to tears again, of joy assured that he'll live and of sadness knowing he may never walk again. The gang gives me a group hug and I really appreciate it " Can we go see him."

" Yes but not for very long."

Ulrichs P.O.V.

The room and the white walls still swirled around me when I saw a familiar face walk though the door it was Yumi. She rushed towards me " so this is what I get for trying to be confident."

Yumi, " what do you mean."

" Today I was going to tell you how much I love you. So much for that idea."

" Oh Ulrich I love you too,"and then Yumi leaned in to kiss me and all my dreams came true till we both needed air and broke apart to breathe. Despite the car crash it may sound weird but today may be the happiest day of his life. What made it better is that they shut down X.A.N.A last year so not even he could ruin this moment.

" Yumi?"

" Yes."

" What happened to me when I was on my way to your house I can't remember."

" Well how to put this according to the driver he accidentally ran a red light swerved to avoid a car and when it went onto the sidewalk he crashed into you and it flipped over. Everyone says your lucky to be alive."

" Wow I can't believe all that happened today." I was really tired so even though i didn't want to I slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

Yumi's P.O.V.

I watched him fall asleep wishing he would stay awake so he could've talked to the others as I tried to walk out of the room his doctor walked up to me before I could exited he said he could leave the hospital in a few days but he would need a lot of help. With his left arm almost crushed and since he'll have to be in a wheelchair he'll need someone to take him where ever he needs to go I volunteered happily. When I got outside his room I told them the good and the bad news. When we made it to the waiting room I saw their looks of sympathy when I broke down completely. " It's all my fault if it weren't for me he wouldn't have been there and I can't even blame X.A.N.A. for this since we shut Lyoko down last year."

Odd " You know as much as I do that it's not your fault and I don't think Ulrich wants a girlfriend who blames herself when something goes wrong. Now we should probably go back to school so Ulrich can rest. Don't worry we'll be back tomorrow." They then headed back to Kadic praying that Ulrich would be all right.
