Chapter 7: Comatose

Sirens wailed in the strangely quiet streets of domino. People unaware of the night's events.

-At the game shop-

"That was this week's 10 day forecast. Moving on with tonight's news. Three teenagers were recently found in a fatal car accident. Two of the teens were found unconscious but have been identified as Yugi Mouto and Serenity Wheeler. The other driver was identified as Fordel DeWitt. Howard has been charged with D.U.I. The other two teens have been transferred to Domino Hospital," the news reporter stated.

Solomon Mouto's eyes widened as he stood up to grab his keys and jacket the phone rang.

"Hello?" He answered it quickly.

"Gramps did you see the news?"

Solomon recognized that Brooklyn accent all too well.

"Yes Joseph. I'm heading to the hospital now."

"Gramps can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure."

"Can I have a ride?"

"I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Kay. Thanks."

The two ended their conversation and hung up. Solomon left to pick up Joey.

-Domino Hospital-

Yami sat in the waiting room with bandages on his face and a few stitches in his forehead. Joey and Solomon quickly rushed through the doors. Yami looked up at Joey then stood up to face him.

"Joey I'm so sorry. I didn't even see him coming."

"It's fine man he was drunk I'm sure. Is she okay?"

"I dunno yet."

Joey looked at the tiled floor. Solomon and Yami put a supportive hand on either of his shoulders.

I can't believe this. How could this have happened? I knew she shouldn't have left with him. It's not that I don't trust Yami it's just; I had a bad feeling about tonight.

Joey sighed feeling helpless and useless altogether. He would rather be listening to Kaiba's insults than waiting on the news of his sister's condition.

"Is there a Joseph Wheeler out here?" A doctor asked as he stepped into the waiting room.

Joey stepped forward.

"Is my sister okay?"

"I'm sorry to say but she's actually in a comatose state."

"Oh…"

"Again I'm very sorry at this moment there's nothing more we can do other than hope."

"Okay. Thanks…"

The doctor left the room and Joey sat down resting his head in his hands. Yami sat next to him.

"Joey I am so, so, so, so sorry." Yami stated, as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Dude its not all your fault." Joey said as he trailed off silently.

"I should've been more careful. I should have paid attention. I should've seen it coming."

"You couldn't have stopped it. Neither of you!" Solomon said sternly.

"Gramps is right man." Joey stated quietly.

After the doctors clarified that Serenity was absolutely not coming to that night Joey, Grandpa, and Yami went to the game shop for the night.

The next day seemed to go slower than waiting for the seasons to change. Joey sat in his History class in fifth period hardly paying attention at all until Tristan threw a paper airplane at his head.

"TRISTAN!!!"

"Mr. Wheeler is there a problem between you and Mr. Taylor?"

"No sensei, Gomennasai."

"Great then maybe you won't mind answering the equation the board."

Joey looked at the board all the numbers and variables just confused him right now and he really just didn't want to be here anyways, so why bother? He shook his head and slumped down in his desk. A few hours and some odd minutes later, the final bell rang. Joey jumped out of his desk and left the school building without a word to anyone. Tristan and Yugi noticed the rushing teen and in turn rushed after him to the student parking lot. When they got there all they saw was the flash of Joey's truck speeding past them. Yugi and Tristan ran to Tristan's truck as fast as they possibly could. They got in and sped off after Joey. After a few minutes of following Joey they figured out where he was heading, the hospital. When they finally got to the parking lot a few minutes after Joey they found him still sitting in his truck with his head resting on the steering wheel. Yugi went to the passenger side of Joey's truck and climbed in next to him as Tristan opened Joey's door and leaned against it.

"Joey are you alright?" Yugi asked.

"Guys what am I gonna do?"

"Whaddya talkin about man?" Tristan asked concerned.

Joey sat back and looked to the roof of his truck and sighed.

"I'm gonna have to start a third job in order to pay for Ren's hospital bill and the bills for the house and food to keep us alive. I can't do it all unless I drop out."

"Joey man come on you can't drop out. That's how your dad got to the way he is remember? Where the hell is that dead beat anyways?" Tristan responded.

"Who knows? Who cares? But that still doesn't help with anything I'm trying to do."

"Well you can stay with me and Grandpa," Yugi suggested.

"No Yug' I don't want to burden anyone."

"It's no trouble Joey. You and Serenity can't keep living with your dad or by yourselves. Besides you're not paying her hospital bill that Fordel guy is."

"But how do we know that?"

"JOEY! Stop trying to be all macho and just accept help when it's offered!" Tea nearly screamed in the middle of the parking lot, with Ryo, Marik, Duke, Isis, and Mai behind her.

"Okay, okay." Joey said raising his hands in defense.

After an hour-long talk in the middle of a half empty creepy parking lot they all decided that when serenity was out of the hospital she would join Joey at Tristan's house. After that was settled they all went inside to see how Serenity was. The doctor informed them that she was still comatose of course but he recommended that they talk to her seeing how that the last thing to go when someone goes comatose their hearing is the last thing to go.

Some of them went in as groups and others went in by themselves and the last three people to go in were Joey, Yami, and Mai.

Joey walked in the room and stood silently for a second or two, he really wasn't sure of what he was supposed to do so he sat down and took his sister's hand gently.

"Ren, please come back I miss you, I need you. Come back okay? I love you." Joey stood up doing his best not to cry at the sight of his baby sister in the hospital bed not responding to anything that was going on around her. He turned to the door and left the room as Yami walked in and sat down.

"Hey Serenity, Joey really, really needs you…we all do. We all miss you too." Yami's eyes filled with tears and he put his head down on the bed at Serenity's side, "I'm so sorry, I feel so responsible for all of this. I could have been more alert than I was." He lowered his voice to a whisper as it cracked, " I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I love you." Yami stood up as Yugi took back over then turned to leave.

After Yugi left Mai came in.

"Hey girl you stay strong. And remember Joey needs you so come back soon. Later."

As Mai left she turned off the light and shut the door behind her.

So review please and I'll update A.S.A.P!
