Hurt, Hope, and Happiness
*Chapter Twelve - A Mess*
Eriol finally gained control of his emotions, and shakily
headed back to the room.
He still grumbled inside his head, pondering what could have
been. What could have been if he had confessed all those years
ago. Just three simple words and this might not be occurring.
And now he had gone through all this, and it hurt.
Three words, and there might have been hope.
"Will I ever find true happiness?" He wondered aloud.
As he pulled the door open, he gasped as he saw Suni lying on the
bed, unconscious, her skin, a deathly pale.
Trave's head jolted from his gaze at Tomoyo to look at Eriol.
His eyes darted to the sight that Eriol was beholding.
Then his eyes widened, "Suni." He said breathlessly.
Trave rushed from Tomoyo's side, "Hiiragizawa! Hurry, go get
a doctor!"
Eriol nodded curtly and hastily left the room, yelling for a
doctor to come to the room.
Trave made his way through the machinery so that he would be
beside both girls.
He sighed heavily and turned his attention to Suni, "Hold on
Suni."
Tomoyo groaned in her slumber, as though she felt the panic and
her body knew she needed to wake up.
Her eyes bolted open and she was startled to find all the
machinery.
Trave's head swirled back to her, "Tomoyo! You're awake!
Thank God!"
Tomoyo looked at him puzzled, then sat up dizzily.
"W-what? What's happening Trave?"
She was disappointed that Eriol was no where in the room; but
then again, started to be in the room in the first place.
Tomoyo leaned forward a bit, despite her aches, to see what Trave
had been looking after.
Horror filled her, now tear-stricken, face,
"Suni"
Tears poured down her face, "How could you?!? How could you
do this to me?!?"
Trave knew that Tomoyo needed comforting, but something inside
him said that Eriol should be the one who should help.
He opened his mouth to respond, but Tomoyo had already given in
to the darkness that her body wanted so much.
Tomoyo's pulse had quickened, even though she slept.
Her breath was uneven, and because her blood was moving faster,
more was being pumped from Suni.
Trave longed to tear apart the deathly machine, but he knew that
if he tried anything it could cost both lives.
The beeps still quickened, as Suni's slowly started to melt away.
The doctor Eriol had been getting, finally rushed into the room,
his white overcoat trailing behind him.
He immediately called in more people as he unhooked the machine.
People, dressed much like the doctor, scurried in, they quickly
moved the frail girl onto a cart, wheeling her away.
Trave ran after them, keeping careful watch over Suni.
While Trave kept track of Suni, Eriol leaned beside Tomoyo's bed.
"Don't worry Tomoyo, everything will be alright." His
voice, masked with calmness
However cloaked his voice was, Tomoyo's subconscious was telling
her that something wasn't right.
Her face showed it too, her forehead was scrunched and her lips
curved in a frown.
The doctor left in the room, hovered over Tomoyo, taking her
pulse, checking her blood pressure.
"She should have a full recovery, she's really very
lucky." He said.
Eriol glanced up at the man angrily, "But at what price? The
life of a little girl?"
Tomoyo yawned, then remembered. She shot up in the bed,
"Suni!"
Eriol's attention darted back to Tomoyo, "She's
finedon't worry Tomoyo."
He gently forced her back to her former position, "You need
to rest."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, "Eriol"
"Shhhhh"
"No" Tomoyo shook her head, "You
don't understand Eriol"
He looked at her in curiosity, "What do you mean?"
"ItIt was all a huge messa huge huge mess."
"What was?"
