Chapter 4: The Singing of Ambulances, the Breaking of Hearts

"Thanks so much for tonight, Atem. I really had a great time." Tea said with a laugh. "I hope we can do it again sometime."

Yami smiled back. "Me too." He opened the passenger's side and held the door open for Tea. She thanked him and them Yami sat in the driver's seat. He looked behind him to see if he could back up. The coast was clear, so he put it in reverse and slowly backed out of the parking lot. It was late, so not many cars were on the road. Yami stopped at a red light and looked over at Tea. She had fallen asleep. He smiled. She looked like an angel. Suddenly, Yami saw the headlights of another car coming closer and closer. Yami's eyes widened and he hit the gas trying to back away and avoid the car. "Oh, SHIT!!" Tea opened her eyes just in time to witness their car collide with the other...

Atem wrapped his arms around Tea right before everything went black for the two teenagers. Fading in and out of conciseness, Yami could hear sirens and he could make out blurry bright lights and panicked voices and faces. His head pounded and his eyes felt like there was superglue trying to keep them shut. He tried to turn his head so that he could see Tea's face. He sat up quickly and awkwardly, causing his whole body's muscle's to ache and pull. "Sir you have to lie back down." But, Atem refused to listen.

"Where is she?! TEA?!" Men with face masks and pale green pajamas tried to constrain Yami, but the pharaoh would not calm down until he knew where Tea was.

"Tea?! TEA?!" Tears filled his eyes as he screamed.

"Please, Yami. Relax." This was the voice of Yugi. Yami listened and stopped his fighting and thrashing against the doctors. "How are you feeling?"

"Where is she?! How is she?! When can I see her?!" Yami spoke so fast and sudden that Yugi could hardly make out any of the words he said, but he had a pretty good idea that he was asking about Tea.

"She's in the bed next to you, Ok? So just relax and sleep and you can see her when she comes out of the ER…"

"ER?! As in emergency room?!" Yami's tears fell as he closed his eyes and clenched his fists bitterly. Yugi didn't really know what to do except stand there and put his hand on the pharaoh's shoulder as he cried. "Oh, Yugi, this is all my fault. Tea is hurt and it's all because of me. I can't do anything right. I can't even take the girl I like out on a simple date without screwing everything up!" He began to sob harder. When the Pharaoh was finally all set up in his room Yugi sat next to him and sighed sadly as Atem cried into his chest.

"Shhh…it's OK, Yami. Everything will be OK…" After a few minutes, Atem regained his composure and sat up. He wiped his eyes and looked at the empty bed across the dull white room.

"So how bad is Tea?"

Yugi did not answer.

"Yugi," Yami swallowed bitterly. "I asked you a question. How bad is Tea?"

"Let's not discuss this now Yami." Yugi looked away and down at the floor. Yami growled and grabbed at Yugi's arm.

"Yugi! You tell me what is wrong with her! You tell me right now!" Yami's eyes burned with a deep intense fiery rage. Yugi swallowed hard and sighed loudly.

"Yami please. Please just not now…" His voice quivered and tears began to fill within the smaller boy's eyes. Yami let go of his hold on him.

"She's not going to die…right?" Yami whispered letting his arms drop to his lap.

Yugi could only shake his head. "No. She isn't going to die…" he choked out softly.

"Well then how bad is it? Please tell me…"

"She's…paralyzed Yami…" Yugi watched as the pharaoh's crimson eyes widened and his eyebrows seemed to twitch into a saddened expression. "She might not ever walk again…" Yugi could hear Yami choke on a sob, but then he could hear the sound on gagging. Without much warning, Yami turned his head away from Yugi, doubled over and vomited all over the once pristine and white bleached floor.
