Our True Love
chapter 10: "Incomplete happiness."
If the word "anxious" was enough in your opinion to express how Tea was now, then you're all are wrong. Because this word was so little compared to what Tea felt today. Today, Atem was going to take her into what it seemed like a date. Not only that but he asked her not to leave his house these days. She still didn't know what Atem was thinking when he asked her for dinner, but she just couldn't forget how soft and nice he was yesterday with her. She couldn't forget how he kissed her and kept her in his arms till she fell asleep. It gave her a great feeling to sleep in his arms which she did three times till now. And she wished that she would wake up everyday in his arms, but....Tea sighed sadly. This will never be true. Atem doesn't love her nor will he do. He seems so perfect for her and he deserves a wealthy girl like him. Not a poor and unknown girl like her. Maybe all this dinner is like a good bye present for her, because she told him that she'll live in her house from now on.
Sighing sadly, Tea remembered seeing Atem leave at nine in the morning today. Although she knew that he has a day off today. She wondered vaguely where he went. Shaking her head to stop this thought, Tea went over to her closet and got her clothes out. She brought a suit case and started packing her things in. I bet that Atem will drive me home as soon as the dinner finishes and that's why I should be prepared. I really want to stay here, with grandpa and Yugi. And mostly.....mostly with him. Why can't he get that I love him!? He told me yesterday that he feels happy when I'm with him but....but I don't think that he meant it. I caused him some troubles and I should get out of his life as quick as I got in it. That's better.
The hours flew by and Tea was still waiting for Atem to come or at least call. Grandpa and Yugi saw how absent minded she was all the day and were worried about her.
"She told me yesterady that she's going back to her house." Yugi started helping his grandpa with the dishes. Grandpa scowled and shook his head.
"Your brother is a disaster. She loves him and he just griefs about Kerai. Why can't he see that he's losing a great girl. He should stop acting like children and start seeing things as a grown up!" grandpa said angrily letting the plate in his hands fell and shatter in the sink into pieces. "Great. Look at what your brother's actions doing to me. Someday, I'll die in a heart attak because of your brother. Mark my wards." Yugi sighed and helped his grandpa cleaning the shattered plate.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
The door bell rang extracting Tea from her thoughts. She hurried to answer the door expecting it to be Atem, but when she opened the door, she was faced with Arnold; Atem's driver.
"Hey Miss Tea." he greeted politly, bowing for her. Tea smiled to him.
"Hey Arnold. What is it. Do you need Mr. Moto?" she asked him refering to Solomon, but Arnold shook his head, smiling.
"No. Mr Atem told me to come and pick you up. He's waiting for you." he explained. Tea tilted her head.
"Atem is waiting for me?" Arnold answered with a nod. Tea looked at herself and then looked at him.
"Just wait ten minutes for me. I'll go change." she said meekly. Arnold nodded.
"Alright miss. I'll be waiting for you in the car." With that he left to the car. Tea stood there on the door for a second thinking why Atem didn't come to pick her up himself, but the shook her head and ran to her room. She took a very quick shower and stood at her closet. Atem didn't mention what she needed to wear. Casual? Formal? Swimming suit? She didn't want to ruin this dinner, so she should be prepared for everything.
Tea wore a blue mini-skirt and a dark blue V-neck shirt. She brushed her teeth and her hair and put on her heels before she hurried to Arnold. Yugi and grandpa saw her rush outside and watched her as Arnold opened the door for her and then drove.
"What's going on grandpa?" Yugi asked. Solomon smiled inwardly feeling that Atem finally knew what he had to do.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The ride was so silent what made Tea think hard about where Atem was taking her. He went from nine in the morning and didn't even call to say where he was. Then he sent Arnold for her. I wonder what he's up to? Tea lied her head on the window and sighed. I'm leaving today. After this dinner finishes, I'll tell Atem to take me home. But first, I need to tell him how I feel about him. I can't just go away without telling him that I love him. I know that he won't feel the same way about me but at least I'll get this off of my chest.
Tea was so busy with her thoughts that she didn't even notice that the car stopped. Until she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Arnold.
"We're here miss Tea." Tea nodded and stepped out the car looking at her surroundings. She still couldn't guess where they were. Maybe if she had her memories she would've at least figured out where she is.
"Excuse me miss Tea, but Mr. Moto asked me to do something that I hope you won't mind." Tea looked confused but she nodded. Suddenly, Arnold blindfloded her eyes. Tea was a little nervous when he did that, but she tried to remain calm. She felt Arnold take her hands and led her to somewhere. Tea still didn't know where she was but she could tell that the breeze here was so cold and fresh. Finally, Arnold stopped and let go of her hand. Tea waited for him to unfold her eyes but he didn't. And she had the feeling that he wasn't there anymore.
Moments passed with Tea still standing there and now she was sure that Arnold left. she was starting to feel cold and lonely till she felt a familiar scent and her hand was taken by a warm hand.
"Sorry to keep you waiting like this Tea." Came Atem's gentle and deep voice. Tea smiled and held his hand tight.
"Atem where are we?" Tea didn't know what Atem's expression was but she felt that he was smirking by the way her cheeks warmed.
"Do you trust me Tea?" Atem asked suddenly. Tea didn't need to be asked twice because she already put a confident smile.
"Of course I do." Atem held a gasp when he heard how sure she was. He was so surprised that she could still trust him after all that. And he couldn't help but hold her in his arms. Tea was startled by this but soon relaxed and felt warmer when she was in his arms. Atem pulled away after some seonds and held her hands taking her with him. She heard him move some bushes and go down. Tea felt the cold breeze against her cheeks and felt that she was walking on sand. Just then, Atem took off the blindfold and whispered.
"You can open your eyes now." Tea felt a shiver ran down her spine by his warm, deep voice and opened her eyes to be faced with the geatest view ever. It was a secluded part of the beach that barely anyone knew about it. The ocean's water was rubbing gently against the shore while the full moon reflected fully on the clear water making it shine. There, almost three metres before the ocean and under two large palm trees was a table for two decorated with two red candles. While there was some soft and calm music coming from somewhere and merging with the sounds of the soft waves making it a great sonata. Tea stood there speechless as Atem took a hold on her shoulders.
"So, do you like it?" he asked hopefully. Tea turned to look at Atem with teary eyes what made him worried. He came forward and wiped the tears with his thumb.
"We're here to have fun. So why are you crying? C'mon, show me your beautiful smile." he teased. Tea smiled holding back the blush and took Atem's hand in hers, then they went to sit on the table. Once they settled, Atem rang what it seemed like a bell and three guys wearing suits came bringing food. Tea was looking in amazment at them and at Atem who just shrugged.
"Is this why you were missing from the house since morning?" she asked curiously.
"Yeah. I wanted to prepare the greatest dinner for you." he smiled and winked leaving Tea surprised. Did he really make all this just to make her happy? Or just like a goodbye present?
Tea and Atem had dinner while talking about lots of things that they didn't know about each other. Of course Atem was the most one to talk since Tea didn't remeber anything about herself. After dinner, Tea went to the water. Atem watched her take off her shoes and raised an eyebrow.
"Tea, what are you doing?" he couldn't help but ask.
"I want to put my feet in the water." Tea smiled and started taking off her clothes amazing Atem. She was wearing a magenta swim suit under her clothes. But when she turned to face him, the look on his face was priceless. His face was absolutely red while his eyes popped out. Tea looked simply beautiful. Tea saw the look on his face and blushed too, then went to sit on the shore letting the waves wash her legs. Atem saw that she sat away and walked to her sitting next to her.
"What's wrong Tea?" he asked worriedly. Tea sighed.
"Atem, do you think that I'll get my memories back soon?" Atem stared at her for a minute feeling his heart beat fast. He stroked Tea's hair and smiled.
"Of course you will. You just have to have faith, and to remember that I'll be here to help you." he encouraged. Tea gave a sad smile and gazed at the ocean. Atem saw that he didn't make her feel better and soon had an idea. Within a second, he took off his shirt revealing his well muscled chest. Tea stared at him in amazement, her cheeks warming up. Atem just winked and dived in the water with a big splash.
"C'mon, join me." he told her. Tea walked over giving him a worried look.
"Atem the water is so cold. You'll catch a cold." she warned and waited for him to come out. But he just smirked and took a deep breath, then dived down in the ocean. Tea waited for him to come out, but seconds and seconds passed and Atem didn't come out what made Tea's heart stop.
"Atem!" she yelled and walked through the water, her legs going in the water till the water reached her knees. Her heart pounded so much as she called his name over and over again. But with no respond. Suddenly....
Splash
Atem got out of the water with a great splash that wetted all Tea's body.
"Atem!" Tea scolded while he just laughed hard.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it!" he admitted earning another splash from Tea that went right in his face and went in his eyes. Tea giggled.
"Tea! I'm so gonna get you for this!." he yelled rubbing his eyes before he splashed her. They kept splashing each other for some time, laughing every time one would cause more damage to the other. Tea stopped suddenly, and rested her back against a big rock, drewing breaths.
"What? Tired already?" Atem teased, creating a huge splash directed to her. But before he threw it, Tea dived down the ocean. Atem bit his lip, smirking.
"Ok then, Tea." he whispered before diving down to her. They raced down the ocean and Tea was winning first, but Atem followed her and got ahead of her, then stopped in her way to force her to stop. But Tea had other plans. She turned around and swam in the other direction. Atem smiled at her playfulness before grapping her arm and spinning her around to him. He smirked when she was locked in his arms where she can't escape. While she just blushed at the closeness. The moon was still visible under the water as it shone on the two. Tea's heart started beating fast and she found herself placing her hands on Atem's bare chest. Atem didn't know what was happenning to him back then, his heart was racing and his face was unreadable. The distance between their faces bagan to disapear as they leaned forward. Atem lifted Tea up by her thighs and was holding her up bridal style. Tea just closed her eyes and leaned to Atem. Nothing mattered for the two of them now, no lost memories were bothering Tea now, and no past love was thought of by Atem now. Finally, their lips met and as soon as it met they felt a passion developing between them. Tea's arms reached over to Atem's neck as he held her tighter to him. The kiss was innocent and soft but passionate and loving; the feeling was pure and great that none of them ever felt before. Atem lifted Tea up to the surface while still kissing her. Once they pulled away for air, Tea noticed that they were up now and she looked to Atem. Her face was fiercly red while some tears gathered in the corner of her eyes wich startled Atem.
Caressing his face, Tea whispered. "I love you Atem...." Atem gasped softly. He knew it, but hearing these three words from her was more beautiful and more surprising than he imagined. He was about to smile and tell her that he loves her too when Tea closed her eyes and her tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." she muttered, getting out the water. Atem stood there for a minute, astonished by her action before he called her.
"Tea Wait!"
Atem got out the water and ran to catch with her. He stopped in her way and held her shoulders to stop her. "Tea talk to me. Why are you crying?" Tea held Atem tight and cried on his shoulder.
"I love you Atem. I'm sorry for this!" Atem was so confused by her words. He pulled away to look in her eyes and slowly wiped her salty tears with his hand.
"You're sorry?! I'm the one that should be sorry. I kept acting like an idiot when I knew that you were in love with me. Tea, I was so confused. I locked my heart long time ago and didn't plan to open up again to any new love. But you changed all this. Only you Tea Gardner made me open my heart for love again. That's why, I love you Tea. I'm sure now that I love you." Tea gasped, her head shot up to him, her face colored with surprise.
"Y-you love me too Atem?" she asked hopefully, but Atem didn't answer. Instead, he pulled her to another kiss which she glaldly returned. The kiss made every doubt or fear that Atem had melt away and he felt happier now knowing that he really loved Tea. They broke apart smiling softly for each other. Just then, a soft music was heard from the radio and a romantic song started.
"Oh I love this song!" Tea announced, still holding into Atem. Atem smiled and bowed to Tea.
"Would you honor me with this dance, my beautiful princess?" he asked in respect before giving her a wink. Tea giggled and bowed too.
"I'd love too my handsome prince!." Atem placed one hand around Tea's waist as the other held Tea's hand while Tea's other hand rested on his shoulder.
Saigo no kisu wa
Tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigakute setsunai kaori
Ashita no imagoro niwa
Anata wa doki ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou
Atem brought Tea closer to him as the music started getting stronger. Tea smiled when Atem did that and closed her eyes still listening to the lyrics and hoping that Atem won't love another girl like the lyrics said.
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
Tea smiled at the lyrics. They were really saying what was in her heart for Atem. She loved him so much and he told her that he loved her. Nothing more mattered to Tea now. She was so happy being here with Atem and she won't exchange that for anything. Leaving Atem's hands, Tea wrapped her arms around his neck resting her head against his shoulder. Atem was so touched by how she wanted to be closer and closer to him and granted her wish by holding her tighter to him as his arms was wrapped around her waist.
Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari
Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotterun darou
No word was needed to explain how the two felt now. They were so happy to be with each other and they knew that fate has made them meet just to be together like they are now.
You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada kanashii love song
As the music was at its last notes, Atem and Tea stopped dancing. They were still wrapped up in a tight and loving embrace. Tea smiled sweetly to Atem.
"Atem this was the best day of my life. Thank you for all this." she said.
"You're welcome. I had the best time too. But...." Atem looked away, sighing. "Did you forgive me for the accident." Tea blinked in awe at his sudden question.
"Of course Atem. I'm not mad at you for what happened. In fact, I'm happy because we're with each other now." Atem breathed in relief and kissed her forehead.
The time passed fast and Atem and Tea got in the car while Atem drove. The ride went silent except from the series looks and smiles between Atem and Tea. When they suddenly stopped on a traffic light, Atem asked.
"Tea. Do you still want to live in your house from now on?" Tea gave him a smile.
"Yes. In fact I've packed my things up, but I still want to go there tomorrow to clean the house." Atem turned his gaze to the rode again and said nothing. Atem pulled up in his house and looked at his right to see Tea fallen asleep with her head rested against the window. Atem smiled seeing how beautiful she looked when she slept. Getting out of his seat, he opened Tea's door and cought her since she was leaning on the door. He gently picked her up bridal style and closed the door. It was 1 am and Yugi and grandpa would be asleep now. So he opened the door with his keys and slowly went to Tea's room and placed her on her bed gently so she won't wake up. But she opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck making him lean down to her.
"I love you Atem." she said blushing seven shades of red. Atem smiled and bend down to press his lips on hers in a passionate kiss. Atem was so glad now. The kiss was so great and it felt so right to him. He didn't regret being with Tea now, on the contrary, he was happy to have admitted his feelings for her. He wouldn't say that Kerai was over, but being with Tea now should make him forget. Tea was so beautiful, so kind and nice. She was just the perfect one to make him forget about Kerai. The kiss lasted long and neither of them wanted to pull away. But finally, and for the lack of air, Atem pulled away and whispered.
"I love you too. Now good night." With that, Atem left Tea's room while she thought of how events turned today. She didn't expect him to say that he loved her. She was so happy and in fact, she forgot that she was amnesiac. That she was with no past or no present. She jut cared about one thing; that she was finally with him. She just wished that she was sleeping in his arms now.
Atem lied on his bed and started thinking of all what happened. He wished that Tea was sleeping here in his arms. But then, they'll have another chance. He jut had to make her live here with him. Atem smiled when he thought of that and drifted to sleep.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The next morning came and Yugi and Atem were the first to wake up. Yugi went to check if grandpa was awake and if he prepared breakfast while Atem had shower and went to see if Tea woke up. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he already missed her. He knocked many times on her room but she didn't answer. Maybe she's still sleeping. He thought and entered her room, but she wasn't on her bed. He looked to his left seeing that the bathroom's lights were on and knew that she was showering. So he went out and decided to wait for her downstairs.
Tea finished showering and put on a blue pair of shorts with a pink tank top. She looked at the clock seing that it was nine; breakfast time as Solomon ordered. Tea missed Atem so much amnd after brushing her hair, she hurried downstairs with a cheerful smile.
"Morning guys!" Tea greeted happily. Yugi and grandpa smiled at her cheerfulness today. But they stopped smiling when they saw Atem stand up and wrap his arms around her.
"Morning Tea. I missed you." Atem said, kissing her cheek. Yugi and granpa's mouths hung down to the ground as their eyes were about to pop out.
"Are you together now!?" Yugi yelled. Tea blushed and nodded slowly, then sat next to her boyfriend on the table.
"I'm happy for you two." Solomon said.
"Thanks Mr. Moto." Tea said and then looked up to them. Her smiled disapearing. "I wanted to tell you that I'm going back home tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me here Mr. Moto." Solomon was surprised at her words and turned to see Atem sighing . It looked that he didn't want her to leave.
"Well, you still have to clean it up." he said and Tea nodded.
"Yes. Mrs. Macinz and I will be doing this today." the latter just nodded and then silence fell.
After having their breakfast, Tea offered to wash the dishes while Atem watched her while leaning against the door frame. But then, he decided to help her. Once the dishes were done, Atem turned to look at Tea who felt his stare on her and turned to him, smiling. Atem moved to her and wrapped his arms around her then captured her lips in a slow yet passionate kiss. Tea was startled but soon turned it with the same passion. They broke apart and Tea rested her hands on his chest.
"I'm happy because I'm with you Atem. I love you." she said, placing her head on his chest. Atem smiled and placed his head on top of hers while hugging her. The kept like this, just listening to their heart beats and enjoying each others company. But suddenly....
Ring Ring.
Atem sighed when his cell phone rang and Tea pulled away to let him speak.
"Who is it!?" Atem irritatebly asked. Tea just smiled when she heard Kloey's voice.
"Who's it!? What a new way to say hello boss!" she teased and she could swear that Atem rolled his eyes. "Anyways, aren't you coming today? There are tons of things to do, so please stop being lazy and come!" Atem shook his head letting a huge sigh.
"I can't come Kloey!" he said, looking from the corner of his eyes at Tea.
"But you have an important meeting, and there are plenty of papers that you need to check."
"OK. I'm coming Kloey." Atem hung up and rubbed his temples. Tea came to his side and placed a hand on his arm.
"Atem what's wrong?"she asked. Atem frowned and answered sadly.
"I'm sorry Tea. I'm supossed to be off today, but there are lots of things that I should check." Tea smiled and rubbed his hand that was in hers.
"It's alright. I know that you have work and I understand that. So don't worry, just go." Atem smiled and drew her to a hug.
"Thanks for understanding." Tea sighed against his chest.
"Just come back soon." Atem nodded and gave her a soft kiss on her lips, Tea gripped his shoulders to deepen the kiss and when they broke apart, Tea caressed Atem's cheek.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I want you to be with me." Tea said blushing at her words. Atem chuckled lightly.
"I'm always with you. Always..." he whispered, kissing her forehead. After that, he left to the company. Tea prepared herself to go to her house when Solomon and Yugi told her that they'll go with her to help her.
"Oh thanks Mr. Moto. But I don't want to bother you." Tea objected. Solomon waved his hands carelessly in the air.
"That's nonesense. I want to help you. You're one of my family now and that means that we help each other." Tea gasped when he told her that and remained silent. Solomon came to her and placed his both hand on her shoulders.
"Honey. I told you before that you're like Atem and Yugi to me. Except if you don't want me to be your family, that is" Tea shook her head and hugged Solomon tight.
"No Mr. Moto don't say that. I'd love to be one of your family. In fact, in all these days I spent here I felt like home." Solomon chuckled and patted her back.
"Alright that was first. Second, I don't want you to call me Mr from now one. Call me grandpa." he said as he wiped her tears.
"OK grandpa." she exclaimed happily testing how the name 'grandpa" would sound, and it sounded just perfect what made Tea hug Solomon once more while he just smiled and patted her back gently.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Tea, Grandpa, Mrs. Macinz and Yugi were working in the house. Many things needed to be done and it seemed as if the house was abandoned since ten years. Lots of boxes were there from when the bank was about to detain the house which made Tea frustrated.
"Where did all thses boxes came from?" Tea asked, more herself than anyone else.
"I'm sorry, my dear." Mrs. Macinz answered. "I thought the house will be detained and that's why I packed everything in the boxes. I think I made a huge mistake." Tea turned to her with a sweet smile.
"Don't say that, I'll get everything back to normal. Once I just remember where everything was placed that is." Tea ended in a whisper. Yugi came to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"We'll be here to help. And Mrs. Macinz will tell us where everything was. Don't worry Tea." Yugi assured, his big magenta eyes shinning with kindness and purity. Tea's smile reapeared and she nodded, raising her sleeves up.
"OK. Let's get to work, guys." she exclaimed excitedly.
The sun was almost about to set and the four were working so hard. They finished cleaning and unpacking almost every box. There were still a few boxes that Tea didn't check. Yugi fell on the couch and gave out a huge sigh. While Mrs. Macinz and Grandpa were chatting. Tea went to one of the boxes and opened it revealing some photos, some books and some other stuff. Tea took one of the photos and stared at her. There were her mother and father holding what seemed like a little crying baby, while a seven years old boy was making funny faces for the baby to laugh. Tea's eyes softened when she recognized the baby. It was her. And Anthony her brother was trying to make funny faces. Tea felt some tears in her eyes and wiped them off quickly before anyone could notice.
"Tea honey, where are you going to put these boxes?" Mrs. Macinz asked. Tea rubbed her chin.
"I don't know. Do we have a ladder here?" Mrs. Macinz nodded. "Where is it?"
"I think in the kitchen." she told her. Tea and Yugi brought the ladder.
"I'm going to put them up in the loft." she told them and was about to climb when Mrs. Macinz stopped her.
"That ladder isn't so good. I almost fell off that day." she said worriedly. Tea smiled reassuringly.
"It's ok Mrs. Macinz. I'll be careful. Just hand me the boxes Yugi." she told him and climbed. Yugi handed her the first box and she put it there safely. Tea bend down to take the other box from Yugi and took it smoothly, putting it up. Just when Tea bend to take the other box, the ladder started to wobble and move. Tea tried to go down but the stair cracked and Tea let go accidently and fell off. The others watch in horror as Tea fell from about fifteen stairs right on the ground. Tea didn't know what happened, she just heard the scream of the three before she went into unconsciousness.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
In the Moto company, Atem was telling Kloey what happened and that he finally had had Tea as his girlfriend. Kloey listened in excitment and once Atem finished, she clapped happily.
"WAY TO GO ATEM!!!!" she yelled happily making Atem wince, and he sweatdropped. When Kloey gets excited, she becomes worse than a child that been taken to the entertainment park!
"Anyways Kloey..." Atem started making her stop yelling and clapping. "Thanks for encouraging me to make that move.." Kloey smiled and went to him.
"The only way to thank me is:Group hug!" she said and Atem frowned, but Kloey pulled him to a hug against his will. "Don't be shy. I'm like your big sister. Well, I'm almost like your mother since I changed your diabers like million times." Atem blushed at her words and shook his head. She keep on reminding him of that every time. He ust wished she was the one that lost her memories and not Tea. Atem finally decided to hug her back.
"That's better Mr I-hate-my-assistant-when-she-acts-like-this!" Atem couldn't help but to laugh and she joined him. Suddenly, Atem gripped Kloey's shoulders and moaned painfully what scared her.
"Atem what's wrong?" she asked placing him on the chair. Atem gripped his shirt near his heart and closed his eyes, moaning with so much pain.
"I don't know what happened Kloey. I feel a terrible pain." Kloey didn't know what to do.
"Do you want me to call Arnold and tell him to take you to the hospital?" Atem merely shook his head and held his head with his hands.
.Ring
Atem's cell phone started ringing and Atem took it out of his shirt with effort. He didn't know where all this pain came from. He was just fine minutes ago. He flicked a look to the screen and saw that it was his grandpa.
"Hello." he tried to sound normal so his grandpa won't get worried. But it was too late because his grandpa's voice was way too worried and he could hear someone sobbing in the back ground but he didn't figure who he/she was.
"Atem son. I hate to tell you this but Tea....." he stopped, making Atem's heart stop along with his voice. "Tea is in the hospital.........she's......she's....." grandpa's voice cracked in the end and he hung up leaving Atem with a blank look. Kloey saw how lifeless his eyes were and was horrified.
"Atem what happened?" she asked but he didn't answer. His hands still gripping the cell. Kloey hurried to him and shook him.
"Atem!" she yelled. Atem let the phone drop from his hands. His hands were shaking and his expression horrified.
"Tea........." he whispered in a shaky voice making Kloey's eyes grew wide. Just after he whispered this, Atem shot up from the chair and hurried out the office with Kloey calling out his name helplessly, but then she clenched her fists and hurried after him.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Yugi, Mr. Moto and Mrs Macinz were all sitting in the waiting room and waiting impatiently for the doctor to come out and tell them what happened. Yugi was pacing back and forth in the lobby while Mrs. Macinz was sobbing silently and Solomon either was calming her down or trying to calm himself anyway.
The silence was so heavy on everyone as it lasted longer and longer while no one really knew what to say or what to do. Suddenly, the silence was cut with quick footsteps followed with other footsteps. They all turned to see Atem running up to them with Kloey following him behind.
"Where's she? Where's Tea? What happened to her?" Atem hastily asked recieving some worry looks from them.
"She fell from the ladder and we brought her as quick as we could." Grandpa explained. "The doctor is still with her and we don't know what happened to her."
"Oh my poor baby. Why is this happening to her?" Mrs. Macinz sobbed and Atem turned to punch his fist against the wall angrily. Kloey came behind him and placed a hand on his fist to calm him down. Just then, the doctor came from Tea's room and when Atem saw him, he rushed and grabbed him by the collar.
"Tell me now is she alright?" Atem yelled and Kloey and Yugi came to grab him away from the doctor who just gasped fo air. After he took some breaths, he looked up at Atem.
"The consussion was hard but her head is just fine. She's unconscious now, but you may see her." The doctor said.
"And when is she going to wake up?" Kloey worriedly asked.
"I'm afraid that I don't know." The doctor sighed sadly and exited the lobby leaving Atem and the others to think about what he said. The good news were that Tea was still alive and well her head was fine. But she was unconscious and she might not be able to wake up soon. Atem stared at the floor for what it seemed like hours untill Kloey walked to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Go to her Atem. she needs you." she whispered with a sigh. Atem nodded slowly before going to Tea's room without looking or saying anything to the others. Atem closed the door behind him and walked over to Tea's bed where she lied with unconsciously with a bandage around her head. Atem studied her features for a while and watched how her chest barely came up and down with every slow breath she took. Atem closed his eyes, exhaling from his nose. He went to her bed and sat gently across her. His right hand slowly travelled up to her cheek and cupped it lovingly.
"Tea......please wake up...." Atem softly whispered in her ear before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. He didn't know what else can he do, so he took her hand in his and gave her a squeeze while giving a silent promise to stay beside her till she wakes up and returnes back to him.
