OKay.
It's a little short.
I'm not happy with it.
But I gotta go to school.
So I'll post it now and maybe fix it later.
Disclaimer: The plot is mine...I borrowed the characters.
Chapter 21
Demyx?
Go away Brian. I'm tired.
Demyx!
I'm so tired.
Nurse! His heart rate is slowing.
What? I'm not a nurse. Leave me alone.
Can you hear me? You need to hang in there, Demyx!
I just want to fall asleep. It's so cold here. I think I'm just going to nap for a second.
Just
a
second.......
My eyes shoot open like I've just been electrocuted.
My vision is all blurry. I can't see where I am. What happened?
I feel someone touching me and pain rolls up my arm in stinging waves. I jerk my arm away from the touch hissing in pain.
The person tries to say something but I can't hear them.
I don't like it here. My whole body hurts. It feels like my body has been stretched out. The pain doesn't dull, it just gets stronger. I want it to go away. My whole body is on fire.
"Just sit still."
The pain fades to where I can bear it. Slowly the figure of a women in a white unform standing by my bed comes into focus. She's wrapping bandages around my arm.
"What?" I croak. My tongue feels too big for my mouth.
The nurse pushes a button on the intercom on the wall, "Please page Aerith to room 209."
"What's going on?" I ask her. It seems I'm in a hospital but I can't remember why. The last thing I remember was walking down the hallway to take my pill. Everything after that is blank.
The nurse ignores my question and walks out of the room.
Bitch.
I try to get out of the bed but the pain leaves me gasping for air. Nothing but my arms seems to be bandaged up. I groan in frustration. I just want to get out of this bed and find someone to tell me what the hell happened!
Just when I'm about to rip the tubes out of my arms Aerith walks into my room smiling slightly.
"What happened, Aerith?" I ask desperatly.
"Oh my, you don't remember?" says Aerith her smile fading.
"Why am I in the hospital?" I say slightly annoyed Aerith is restating the obvious.
Aerith looks away from my face, "Last night you......tried to kill yourself."
Suddenly it all comes back to me in a big rush. I didn't take my pill. And then I let Brian take over.
"Did anyone else get hurt!?"
Aerith looks shocked at my reaction, "No, Zack found you in the lounge alone. Why did you do it Demyx?"
"I didn't do this. It was him," I spit out disgusted that I trusted Brian.
"Then why did Brian do it?" Aerith asks softly.
I'm not sure what to say to her. I never thought Brian would actually do this.
Or did I?
"I don't know!" I groan feeling frustrated. I'm confused. I'm not Brian! The doctors say that I am, but they don't know what it's like! They learned about my "disorder" in their textbooks. It's not the same as experiencing it firsthand!
I didn't want to kill myself! Brian wanted me dead! Because Brian wants to make me as miserable as possible!
I hate you, Brian!

.......
Brian?
.......
.......
I don't feel him in my head. I can usually feel him in the back of my mind, waiting. But I can't hear anything except my own inner voice. My head feels empty without him. I feel a pang of loneliness.
I break out in a cold sweat.
I'm....alone? He's gone?
Is this a joke?! It's not funny, Brian!
..........
"Aerith," I say my voice shaking.
"What is it, Demyx?" asks Aerith nervous at my rapidly changing mood.
I take a deep breath. I've been waiting to say these words my whole life.
"Brian's gone." My whisper seems to resonate throughout the room.
I gotta go!
Review! And I'll give you orange juice!
