Pairings in this Chapter: UxY,JxA some OxT
(Ulrich's POV)
"Hello" I asked
"Hey Ulrich sweetie. How are you?"
"Um, hi mom, I'm fine"
"That's good. How is everything going"
"Everything is fine, just hanging out"
"That's good sweetie, look I have something to tell you. It's about your father"
I looked at Yumi, who had a questioning look on her face "What about him"
I heard my mom do a deep, sad sigh "He has cancer Ulrich"
I felt like my heart dropped, like a piano fell from the sky and hit me "What"
"He has brain tumor, Ulrich" I heard my mom start to cry.
I felt sudden tears come down my eyes "For how long"
"The doctor's said he had it for at least seven months, I didn't know, I don't think he knew either" My mother was crying "the doctors said he has at least a year to live"
"No they have to find a way, they can't just give up on him like that" I was now crying too, Yumi noticed and gave me a comforting hug; I was crying on her shoulder.
"They said they're doing everything they can"
"Well, they need to try harder. What is dad doing now?"
"He's in the hospital, and his symptoms were worse today. From now on, the hospital is his new home, right now he is asleep"
I wiped the tears from my eyes and sighed "This can't be true"
"Ulrich, can you take a little time out and come see him. I know you were supposed to be in Italy for another day, and off to Tokyo the next day"
"Yeah, sure mom" I said
"Ok, thanks sweetie see you tomorrow"
"Bye" I clicked the red button on my phone, I felt tears come through my eyes again, and I buried my head in Yumi's shoulder again.
"What happen, what you're mom say" Yumi asked, hugging me.
"Yumi, my dad has cancer" I mumbled
"Oh my god, Ulrich I'm so sorry"
"I would have never thought this would happen" I cried
"Me either, what type of cancer does he have"
"Brain Tumor he had it for at least seven months, he has a year left before he..he…."
"What no, are the doctors doing anything" Yumi voice was now sad
"They are keeping him in the hospital, but other than that I don't know" I sighed
"After all the years I wished, that he would just leave me alone when I had bad grades, I hated him for all the grief he gave me; but now I know why he did push me to do these things, but I guess all the years that I hated him are coming back. And I should have asked, I should have asked when he called again today, I just let him go, I hate myself for this"
"It's not your fault Ulrich, you and him had some good times too, think about all the good times with him right now. Remember when XANA was still alive, you had a soccer game, XANA supposedly turned off the gravity. Your father was proud of you. Last summer your dad was so proud of your report card he sent us on the trip to America. He loves you Ulrich , no matter what fights and arguments you had with him; those were all account of love. He just wants what's best for you"
I sighed and rested my forehead on Yumi's "We were supposed to go to Tokyo after here but can we go and visit my dad"
"You don't have to ask me, this is you're trip we can go where ever you want"
"Ok, I think I'm going to go to sleep now, I just need to clear my head right now" I said getting up, and helping Yumi get up. "Thank you Yumi"
She put a confused look on "For what"
"Being here for me while my dad if suffering from…" I stopped talking, and sighed
Yumi pulled me into a hug "Anytime, I'll always be here for you, no matter what Ulrich. I'm sure if this was my dad you would do the same thing"
I slowly pulled away from our embrace "I would do the same"
Yumi slightly smiled "I'm going to be here one-hundred percent of they way"
"Thanks" I said
"You're welcome. Come on, you need some rest" Yumi said going back into the room. "When are we leaving"
"Tomorrow" I answered putting some clothes away
"Hey I got it from here, I'll pack you rest ok" Yumi said
"Are you sure" I asked
"Yeah" Yumi smiled, I pulled Yumi into a hug again.
"I love you" I kissed Yumi's forehead
"I love you too"
I soon went and laid down on the bed, I closed my eyes and a single tear ran down my face. Next thing I was in a deep sleep.
(With Jeremy & Aelita. Jeremy's POV)
Aelita and I ran into the room laughing and often kissing each other.
"This night was amazing Jeremy" Aelita fell back onto the bed.
"Great I'm glad you enjoyed it" I smiled laying next to her.
Aelita looked up at me and pulled me into a kiss. I smiled underneath it and pulled her closer to me. I felt something vibrating against my leg, but I ignored it a couple of times; but it just kept ringing.
"Hold on" I said breaking away from our kiss
"Hello" I said
"Hey Jeremy, tomorrow we have to leave to go to Germany" Yumi said
"Ok"
"Yeah we was supposed to go somewhere else I think, but something came up"
"What came up" I asked
"I'll tell you later, I'm going to call Odd and Trinity"
"Ok, bye" I hung up the phone and looked at Aelita
"Who was that" She asked
"Yumi, we have to go to Germany tomorrow early, because something came up"
"Did she tell you what happened"
"No, she just said be ready early" I shrugged
"Oh, ok" Aelita said
"You want to pack now" I asked
"Sure, we don't know what early is, it might mean early like six am early, or eight or whatever so yeah, let's get packed" Aelita said getting off the bed
"Ok" I said also getting off the bed. I pulled out our suitcases and started packing, I saw one of Aelita's clothing items and decided to playfully throw it at her, and it landed on her head.
"Hey" Aelita yelled
"Hey what" I laughed
"You threw this at me" Aelita pointed
"My aim has gotten better" I joked
"You" Aelita laughed, picking up clothes from my suitcase and throwing at me. I laughed and ran over to her suitcase and started throwing her clothes at her, which she was throwing my clothes at me. We was having a clothes fight.
"Ha, you're out of clothes" I laughed still throwing some her clothes at her
"That's because us girls pack heavy sometimes" Aelita said
I stopped throwing clothes and looked around "Look what we did"
Aelita giggled "You started it"
"And I finished it too" I smirked
"And you get to clean it since you started it, and finished it. So finish it up some more by picking up the clothes" Aelita said
"Are you going to help, you did help make the mess, so you help clean it up" I responded
"Sure" Aelita said sarcastically
I laughed "come on please Aelita, this is a lot to put away"
"I was joking Jeremy, I'll help" Aelita smiled walking towards me. I wrapped my arms around her waist, as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I love you" I rested my forehead on hers
"I love you too" Aelita pressed her lips against mine. I pulled her closer to me as we were kissing, I felt her tongue begging for entrance in my mouth, which I granted.
Soon our tongues were in an all out war. I pressed against her, which made us walk backwards a little, until she tripped over a shirt and fell onto the bed; bringing me with her.
We laughed "You are clumsy" I joked
"You made me fall" Aelita said
"Sorry" I said pressing my lips against hers again. I felt my shirt slowly sliding upwards, my mind was racing. I didn't know what to do right about now, was she ready for this, was I ready for this. I didn't want us to do any regretting afterwards. I soon thought back to what Ulrich said last summer when him and Yumi.
:.:.:FLASHBACK:.:.:
Ulrich sighed. He figured his friends weren't going to leave him alone without an answer
"Yumi and I kind of went to the physical part of a relationship"
"Whoa, no wonder. How was it man? I thought I was going to be the first, but I guess not" Odd smiled
"Odd, it's not funny. I feel bad now." "Why?" "Well, because we only been together for a few days and we already did that. I just feel like I took advantage of her, I know it sounds stupid. But I just do" Ulrich explained
"Dang, I'm sorry Ulrich" Jeremy said
"Take my advice, especially you Odd: Do NOT rush into doing stuff early, even if both are you are ready. Just wait like another month or longer because it will just let you end up doing a lot of regretting" Ulrich indicated
:.:.:END OF FLASHBACK:.:.:
I mean, I know we have been dating for a year, but still you never know what can happen. When I woke up from my thoughts, I found that my shirt was off already.
"Wait Aelita, are you sure" I asked
"Yeah, do you want to" She asked
"I don't know I mean I don't want us to be like Yumi and Ulrich, like the first time they did it"
Aelita looked down to the ground "I guess you're right"
I grabbed my shirt and put it back on.
"I'm sorry" Aelita said
"It's ok" I said
"No, it's not I don't know what I was thinking rushing like that, I just wanted to be like Yumi and Ulrich, and Odd and Trinity"
"Odd and Trinity did…never mind, but..." I was cut off
"I don't know what I was thinking" Aelita said
"Aelita, it's ok, it's fine, there nothing to be sorry about"
"No I was rushing you Jeremy"
I looked down "Aelita, honestly I am ready, but we just need the right time, you know. When we both are truly ready"
Aelita nodded her head "Yeah"
I smiled "Can I have a hug" I put my arms out
Aelita smiled and went into my hug. We soon laid back onto the bed again, and fell into a deep sleep.
(NEXT MORNING) (Normal POV)
"Come on guys, get up, we are about to leave" Yumi knocked on Jeremy's and Aelita door.
Aelita quickly answered the door and went back to her suitcase and started throwing clothes in the suitcase.
"Did a tornado come in here or something" Yumi asked walking in
"Uh, we had a clothes fight last night" Jeremy responded throwing clothes in his suitcase
"Uh, ok, but hurry: we are taking a train this time and that leaves in forty-five minutes" Yumi explained and walked out the room
"Do you have the tickets already" Aelita yelled
"Yeah" Yumi yelled back.
"What are they doing" Odd asked as Yumi approached them carrying their suitcases down the hall
"Well they had a clothes fight or something and they're packing now" Yumi answered
"A clothes fight? What the hell?" Trinity said playing with her hair.
"What's wrong with Ulrich" Odd asked, pointing at Ulrich. Ulrich was sitting next to the elevator on a bench with his head buried in his hands.
"Um...his father has cancer"
Trinity and Odd gasped "What no, this is awful"
Yumi sadly sighed "He's not taking it so well either, so let's just do anything to keep him a little happy"
Trinity and Odd nodded their head "Yes of course"
"Alright were ready" Jeremy and Aelita walked out the room.
"Ok let's go" Trinity said going to the elevator, she gently rubbed Ulrich back along with Odd who patted.
"I'm sorry Ulrich, about your dad's condition" Trinity said
"Yeah I hope he gets better" Odd said
Ulrich sighed and just nodded his head slowly, Yumi knelled in front of him so that she was looking at him.
"You ready to go?" Yumi said rubbing his arm (A/N you know how people are sad and their head is buried in there hands and a person knells in front of the person and rubs their arm to get their attention. That's what Yumi's doing)
Ulrich slowly got up and walked inside the open elevator. Odd picked up Ulrich's suitcase and walked inside the elevator, followed by Trinity, Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita.
"What happen Yumi" Aelita asked, the question got Jeremy's attention too.
"Ulrich's dad is sick, he has cancer" Yumi whispered
Aelita gasped, along with Jeremy who was shocked "I'm sorry Ulrich"
Ulrich sadly nodded his head. When he group got to the train station and on the train. The train pulled away and was off to Germany.
"I'm going to go get a snack. Anybody want one?" Odd said getting up.
"No thanks" Aelita said
"I'll have some chips" Jeremy said
"Me too" Trinity said
"I don't want anything" Yumi said
"You want anything Ulrich" Odd asked his best friend, who nodded his head. "Ok, well I'll be right back"
"How long has you're dad had cancer?" Jeremy asked
"My mom said about seven months" Ulrich looked down.
"Dang, I wish I was grown up already, I would have found a cure for cancer and cure everyone who has it, and get your dad out of this" Jeremy laid a hand on Ulrich's shoulder
Ulrich slightly smiled "Thanks"
"Of course, look what you're dad has done for us" Aelita said
"Without him none of this would have happened" Jeremy spoke
"And without him you guys would have never met each other" Trinity spoke
"Yeah" Ulrich looked out the window
"What are you going to say when you see him" Yumi asked
"I'm going to thank him for everything, thank him for putting all this pressure on me to do well in life and get somewhere with it. I'm going to want to be just like him, I'm going to follow in his footsteps"
"That's good" Trinity said
Odd soon came back with the snack, he brought something back for everybody.
"For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, and for me" Odd handed out the chips.
"Thanks" Ulrich said, opening the bag.
"Anytime buddy, are you feeling better" Odd asked
"On the outside, a little bit, on the inside, no not all" Ulrich ate a chip and looked back out the window.
"Just remember we are all her for you Ulrich" Yumi implied
"Yeah, we wont let you go through this alone" Odd said
"We're friends, and friends go through everything together" Aelita spoke
"You've been there for us many times" Jeremy spoke
"And that's what real friends are for: to go through happy and tragic times" Trinity spoke
"We all love Ulrich" Yumi rubbed his back
Ulrich looked down, he felt like crying. (A/N I wish I had friends like that!) "Thanks you guys"
Yumi pulled Ulrich into an embrace
"Aww you guys, group hug" Odd said hugging Yumi and Ulrich, the other came to and wrapped their arms around each other. This is what real friends are.
