"The Attempt"

Yugi's Point of View...

I picked his head up and frowned. I had been sitting at the kitchen table with Joey and Tristan in an uncomfortable silence. "Where is Téa?" I asked.

"She still hasn't come out." Tristan answered.

I frowned. That was strange. I knew something bad was going on. "Don't you guys think we should check on her?"

Joey shrugged. "Maybe."

Now I knew something was wrong. "Something bad has happened to her!" I exclaimed and abruptly stood up. I walked quickly and banged on the door. "Téa!"

Joey and Tristan came too and also banged on the door. We looked at each other and nodded. Joey and Tristan set to trying to break down the door while I searched the house for some tools to pick the lock with. It turned out I didn't need them as I heard the door break.

I hurried back to the scene and gasped as I saw Téa on the floor, holding a bottle of empty pills. "Call an ambulance!" I yelled, but Tristan already had the hospital on the phone. I was really scared, usually Yami handled situations like this, but he was still too weak. I bit my lip as Joey scooped Téa up.

Lapse of Time...

Joey's Point of View...

Man, just seeing Téa give up hope broke me up pretty bad. I was shocked when I opened that door and saw her on the ground. I mean, Téa is usually the one who cheers us all on!

We were now all in the hospital, waiting for her status. Yugi jumped up as the doctor came back, looking at his clipboard. "Is she okay?" He asked.

"It's a good thing you got her here so quickly. We might be able to save her." We all gave a sigh of relief. All we could do now was wait.

Lapse of Time...

Joey's Point of View...

I didn't know exactly what happened inside me, but I think I gave up hope after Téa tried to end her life. Tristan and I walked back to my house, where Yugi promised to meet us. I plopped into a chair and stared straight forward.

"Hey, you okay?" Tristan asked.

"Yes..." I didn't really listen.

"Sure." Tristan sounded sarcastic.

"I don't need your advice." I replied.

Tristan followed suite and also sat down. "Joey-"

"Listen! Will you just leave me alone?!" I yelled.

"Fine! Don't listen to me!" He shot back.

"Just- just go away!" The words were out of my mouth before I could think.

Tristan looked shocked for a second, then angry. He stood up and stormed out of the room.

"Wait-" He didn't seem to hear me. "Jerk." I muttered. He just kept on walking.

Tristan's Point of View...

Who did he think he was?! Sometimes Joey can annoy the heck out of me. I went to another room and flipped on the television, blaring the volume.

Joey's Point of View...

That was just what I needed. Not only does Bakura have 2 dark sides, not only is Yami totally vulnerable, not only did Téa try to commit suicide, but now my best friend is mad at me.

Sometimes life is just not worth living.

I suddenly sat up. So this is how Téa felt. She failed, but I won't. I had a weapon in my house for some reason and now I retrieved it from the closet. The small, cold gun looked so innocent in my hand. I loaded it, and it clicked loudly. Thankfully Tristan had the volume on high.

I lifted the gun and pointed it towards my heart.
