Chapter Twenty Five- Day Three: Not Who I Thought You Were…
"Will she be all right?" Kaiba asked the nurse in a half-harsh half-worried tone. He's been tense ever since the accident, which was about two hours ago. "Can I see her?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kaiba, but Serenity has lost a lot of blood, we haven't found a match yet," Kaiba was about to interrupt but the nurse raised her hand to stop him. "She's unconscious and we have to let her body rest; she can slip into a coma, but that's rare and she might not. You can't see her now, but come back later and she could be awake."
Kaiba left the hospital in spite of the nurse's offer to stay in the waiting room; it would do him no good to wait in a quiet room with people whispering about him. Kaiba would have been able to stand it for very long anyway…
As soon as he was in his apartment office, Kaiba busied himself in his corporation papers; he knew he should call Serenity's brother, Joey, to tell him about the accident, but he wasn't ready yet.
Kaiba stopped working. At least I know somebody I can tell…He thought, slowly reaching for his cell phone in his back pocket and pushed speed-dial for Mokuba's cell phone; it took a couple of rings before he answered.
"Mokuba?" Kaiba asked.
"Seto, is that you?" Mokuba replied, it sounded as if he was woken up, "Why are you calling so early?"
"Early?" Kaiba looked at his watched, in was about two o'clock in the morning for him, it should be about six in the morning for him.
"Yeah," Mokuba responded, "Is something wrong?"
Kaiba took a deep breath before spilling everything that happened to Mokuba.
"…and now she's in the hospital; unconscious."
Mokuba was shocked on the other end of the line, "Have you talked to Joey yet?" He asked.
Kaiba sighed, "Not yet, I just got back from the hospital."
"I'm so sorry, Seto…"
"It's my fault she's in the hospital right now, I should have…" Kaiba broke off, one solitary tear sliding down his face, "I should have…"
"It's not your fault."
Kaiba's eyes grew wide, "How could it not be, if I hadn't been so stupid…then, Serenity would still be okay…"
"Seto! Quit beating yourself up over this!" Mokuba's voice made Kaiba's head snap up, "The dinner's over isn't it? Why don't you come home and have Serenity transferred to the Domino City hospital?"
"Her condition is not stable yet, I doubt they'll consider it." Kaiba replied, putting the phone between his shoulder and ear and rubbed his temples.
"Seto, you could ask."
Kaiba sighed again and forced himself not to hang up, "I guess, I could try…"
"Good," Mokuba's reply rang out, "I need to get some sleep, Seto, why don't you do that too and call me back when Serenity's better?"
"Alright."
"Bye." Mokuba's voice clicked and Kaiba knew that he hung up. Placing the receiver down, Kaiba wondered if he really should get some sleep. It always seemed that sleep was Mokuba's reason for every problem that came up.
Kaiba's dulled icy eyes drooped with exhaustion, pain, and agony of losing Serenity. He learned later in the night that the driver of the car that hit her, died. The driver had been driven by rage, or so the doctors say. They identified him as…Duke Devlin.
Kaiba slowly walked out of his office and shut the door, as soon as he could; he collapsed onto his bed; more tears sliding down his face.
How could I do this to her?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kaiba woke up around ten the next morning, thoughts of Serenity rushing through his mind. Images of how he should have been there for her, and he wasn't. Nothing mattered now, what was done is done, nothing can change the past.
I shouldn't have said those things! He thought, sitting up and swinging his legs over the side of the bed. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, then walked to his office.
He walked out onto the balcony, and then looked over to where Serenity's bedroom sliding door was; that piece of glass was still there…
Another tear fell…
"It's my fault," Kaiba whispered as he leaned on the balcony railing, "It's my fault."
Well, sitting around and moaning about her isn't going to do you no good, said a voice in the back of his head, why do you go see her?
Kaiba's head suddenly snapped up and he went back to his bedroom, quickly took a shower and changed then grabbed his corvette car keys and rushed out the door.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Patient's name?" The nurse asked Kaiba, typing on her computer.
"Serenity Wheeler."
"Alright," The nurse replied, "She's in room 147; west wing."
Kaiba walked off without saying a thank you and headed for the west wing, hoping that Serenity was awake and he could talk to her.
When he reached her room, Kaiba took a deep breath before opening the door; there, before him, he saw the non-moving body of Serenity.
It looked like they found Serenity's matching blood type, because the red liquid was being pumped into her system right now. On the nightstand beside the bed, there was a piece of paper; Kaiba picked it up. The scribbled handwriting looked as if a doctor wrote it in a hurry:
Tell Seto that I love him
Kaiba dropped the small piece of paper out of surprise and watched it flutter to the ground. The doctor must have made a promise to Serenity and wrote down a request…as if she was going to die…
But, she can't! Kaiba thought, slowly bending down to pick up the piece of paper, he folded it and slipped it into his pocket.
"She can't…" He whispered out loud, Kaiba reached for her hand and gently squeezed it; Serenity's hand was slightly warm, and for a second, Kaiba thought that Serenity had responded and squeezed him back, but the feeling was gone a quickly as it came.
Still, there was that small flicker of hope.
Suddenly, a nurse came in with two doctors in tow. They gently pushed Kaiba away and the nurse gave him a sorrowful glance. Kaiba was taken aback and stayed his distance as they worked.
The nurse rushed in and out of the room, once, she brought another nurse in with her and Kaiba was confused. He saw Serenity's body move and his breath caught, maybe she was okay, but after a few moments, the staff gave up at what they were doing and turned around to meet Kaiba. They all had solemn faces.
Kaiba immediately sensed something was wrong, "What happened?" He asked, looking at the faces one-by-one.
A doctor stepped forward, "I'm sorry," He soothed, placing a hand on the 18-year-old's shoulder, "She has slipped into a coma."
Kaiba's body gave a great shiver and he found a chair beside a window and sat in it.
The doctor looked at him and then the nightstand, then he motioned for the others to leave and kneeled down beside Kaiba's chair.
"You got the note, didn't you?" The doctor asked.
Kaiba had his elbows resting on the arms of the chair, his fingers interlaced and resting on his chin. Slowly, he shook his head.
"That's the last thing she said before she slipped into her used to be unconscious state…" When Kaiba didn't move, the doctor to his leave and left the CEO alone.
"Why you?" Kaiba whispered as he looked up at her, the only thing breaking the silence was the steady 'beep beep' of Serenity's heartbeat…
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Where am I?" Serenity asked herself, she was dressed in a pure white robe, white flowers hanging from her auburn hair. White wings were out stretched on her back and she was flying in darkness; everything was pitch black.
"Huh? Where am I?" She repeated, turning every which way, but found nothing but more darkness, "How did I get here?"
Suddenly, a picture of Joey appeared in front of her. He was smiling and giving his famous thumbs up sign.
"Joey?"
His smile faded and was replaced with a look of sorrow, slowly, he fazed out of sight.
"Joey! No!" Serenity screamed, she tried to run toward him, but she felt the very memory of Joey slip from her grasp. Serenity stopped running, not even knowing what she was running for anymore.
Then, a name spelled out in front of her:
J-O-E-Y
"Joey?" She whispered, falling back, wings disappearing. Serenity was falling in an endless black hole; falling and never reaching the bottom.
"Who's…Joey…?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kaiba saw her hand twitch, and Serenity whispered a name:
"Joey…"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
