Chapter 4
Well,the bad news was that Quatre and Trowa were in the fire. But their burns weren't to severe. They were about halfway through it,but Trowa's van got stuck in something and they couldn't get out.
"I feel really stupid,"Quatre said that day when Duo came to visit him after he got his cast off. "It didn't even look like we were in it!"
"When did it start?"
"Around 12:15."
"Was anyone else hurt?"
"One person died and 4 other people were injured. Subtract 2 and you get me and Trowa. That street isn't very busy at night,so it's kinda of wierd that something like that would happen."
"I'll agree with you on that one."
"Trowa and I wanted to take that way because,like I said before, there is barely any traffic and people rarely get hurt."
"So you have no idea what or who started that fire?"
"No,I don't."
"Oh."
"I couldn't really see anything. The place was already clouded by the time we get out there. The real fire didn't start until we were halfway through the fog. And the rest...is history."
"I see. And I know Heero or Wufei couldn't've done it. They were here the whole time. Heero was actually with me when he same the flames."
"Where was Wufei?"
"In the waiting room I guess. Hey don't forget,I was in the hospital too ya know."
He laughed a bit, "I know. I'm just glad you're ok."
"You worry to much Quatre. You know I was gonna be ok."
"Yeah. But you didn't know that is was going to happen to me."
"You've gotta point there. I just can't believe someone would do this to you buddy. It just isn't fair."
"I know. You should go see Trowa. He's probably lookin' forward to seeing you."
"Yeah,especially since he did save my life. But,are you sure?"
He smiled. "I wouldn't mind at all Duo. He would really love it. I think Heero went to see him earlier."
"Has he come and seen you yet?"
"No,not yet. But you'd better go and see Trowa."
"Well,if you say so,"and he left the room.
"Well,how's Quatre doing?"Heero asked Duo when he got back to the waiting room.
"Good. I'm going to see Trowa. How's he doing?"
"Not to bad. His arm looks pretty bad though."
"Oh god. What happened?"
"Well,you'll just have to find out. His room is all the way down and the first room on the right."
"Alright,thanks,"and he left the room.
Duo opened the door to Trowa's room,only to find a worse Trowa than expected. Oh my god,he thought. He looks worse than Quatre. Hell,he's got first degree burns. I hope he gets better.
"T-T-Trowa?"
"Hey Duo."
Oh my god,he thought. He's ok!
"Trowa! Oh my god. You...You look worse than--."
"Quatre does. I know. I'm lucky enough that we both got out of there in time."
"What's going to happen to you?"
"Oh Duo. I dunno. We'll just have to see in weeks to come."
"I can't believe this. I'm the one who should've been in that fire,not you. You save my life and this has to happen."
"Don't say that Duo. Just be happy that you weren't there."
"Did you ever see who or what started the fire?"
"No. Why?"
"Nevermind."
"No,please tell me. At least while I'm still alive."
"Oh Trowa. Don't say that. I promise that you'll make it. If Quatre can do it,you can too. You just have to believe in yourself."
"I'm glad you're saying that Duo. But for now,no one knows what'll happen to me and Quatre for the next few weeks. We might get better,we might not. Just don't worry about me if I don't make it Duo. You guys'll go on with your lives."
Duo's eyes clouded over with tears. He couldn't believe this. His own comrade was acting like a fool. Trowa,please don't do this,he thought. Quatre wouldn't be able to go on without you. Can't you see that he would want to risk his life for you? He loves you dearly Trowa. You can't leave us. It just wouldn't be fair.
"Trowa,you can't leave us. It wouldn't be fair. Quatre would kill himself if you died."
Trowa didn't move. He just smiled.
"C'mon Trowa. Please speak to me! You can't leave us already!"but a chill ran down his spine,and something told him to leave the room,so he left.
"Duo! You ok?"Heero asked as Duo ran into him.
"No. Heero,I think Trowa's...dead."
"Oh god. What did he look like?"
"I asked him a question,and he just looked at me,smiling. But he didn't look like he was breathing. We need help Heero!"
"Alright. I get a doctor,"and he rushed out of the room.
Oh Trowa,please don't do this to us,he thought. You can't leave us. Quatre would kill himself. Don't leave us...please.
Two days passed. Trowa was getting a little bit better. He had to take shots everytime he looked like he was going to pass out. Doctors had to rush in and rush out from time to time.
"I just can't believe this,"said Duo. "He might die."
"Well,he was lucky enought that he had you there,"said Quatre. "Or he might have died."
"Thanks. I just don't think we could go on without him. Especially you."
"Yeah,you're right. I wouldn't. Trowa's my best friend. I would hate it if he died,"he frowned and looked at the floor. He's right,he thought. I would hate it if he died. I wouldn't know what to do if he died. Oh Trowa... please don't do this to me. I don't want you to leave me. Please don't...
"Quatre,you alright?"asked Heero.
"Huh?"
"Well,you haven't talked for 5 minutes. You must have something stuck in your head."
"Yeah,you're right. I'm sorry."
Heero smiled. "You've got your head stuck on Trowa,don't you?"
"I guess you already noticed. I just don't want him to leave me. It wouldn't be fair. Trowa's my best friend."
"We know Quatre. He's going to be alright. You just have to believe in him."
He couldn't believe that Heero was actually saying this. Does Heero actually have faith in someone,he thought. My god...
"Look...Here comes a doctor. Maybe he knows how Trowa's doing,"said Duo. He walked over and talked to the doctor. After about 5 minutes he came back with a worried look on his face.
"Oh no."
But then Duo's face perked up with a smile. "Trowa's going to be fine Quatre."
"Oh my god! You really scared me there Duo."
"I'm sorry Quatre."
"Well,when's he going to get out?"
"3 more days. They still have to give him shots. But don't worry about it. He's going to be fine."
"Thank god."
"Do you wanna go see him?"
"I'd love to."
"Ok. His room is all the way straight down,and first room on the right."
"Great. Thanks Duo,"and he left the room.
No problem little buddy,he thought. I'm just glad Trowa's ok. I probably know what Quatre would do if he died.
"Trowa,it's me,"said Quatre as he opened the door to Trowa's room.
"Hey Quatre."
He moved to the foot of the bed. "Well,how are you feeling?"
"Much better. I guess Duo was right. I wasn't going to die after all. All I needed to do was believe in myself."
"Do you know when you're going to get out?"
"3 days. I thought Duo already told you."
"He did. I just wanted to know if you knew."
"Gotcha."
"So,when are the burns going to heal?"
"Oh Quatre...I have no idea. It might be a while. Don't worry about it. I'm going to be fine."
He sighed. "I know. I'm just so glad that you're going to be ok. I didn't want you leaving me so soon."
He smiled. "Thanks Quatre."
"How bad were the burns?"
"First degree. You were lucky that I was there or you would've died. Then I would have to worry about you."
He smiled. "I'm just glad you're going to be ok."
"Thanks. Are Duo,Heero,and Wufei still here?"
"Yeah. They aren't going to leave unless they have to take a shower or something. But other than that,they're staying here until you get out."
"That's nice of them,"he let out a painful groan.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. It's just my left shoulder. Don't worry about it."
"Why does it hurt?"
"Oh,it broke or something. I dunno. Just please don't worry about it Quatre. I'm going to be fine."
"I'm sorry Trowa."
"No,I'm sorry. I shouldn't've gone on to you about that."
He smiled. "It's ok Trowa. No hard feelings."
"That's good,"he sighed.
"Well,I'd better go. You probably need to get some rest."
"Yeah,I guess you're right. I have to get another shot around 1:30. What time is it anyways?"
"About noon. Well,I'll c-ya later Trowa."
"You're going to be back,right?"
"Duo or Heero will be coming soon. I'm not really sure. I'll come in around 5:30,ok?"
He smiled. "I'm sorry I had to ask that Quatre."
"It's ok Trowa. Don't worry about it. Well,I'll c-ya later Trowa,"and he left the room.
"Well,so how's Trowa?"Duo asked Quatre when he got back to the room.
"Better. I think he'll be getting out in 2 days. Not 3."
"Well,he still has to take a lot of shots."
"And just thinking about that just makes me want to puke. I did not like having to do that."
"Yeah,me too."
"It's like,the only people who haven't gotten kill,well almost,are Heero and Wufei."
"Yeah,I know. But it's usually because they rescue us,or they are there at the time.
"I'm just glad he was there to save me and Trowa."
"Yeah,you were lucky. I was really glad that you and Trowa were there to save me before I died of that bullet wound. But I'm really glad it wasn't Heero who did it."
"Did you ever find out who did it?"
"No...but that doesn't really matter now. He's probably long gone and isn't coming back."
"I hope."
He put his arm over Quatre's shoulder. "Hey,don't worry about it so much little buddy. I'm sure that he's committed a ton of other crimes. But he finally got caught. But just remember one thing:We are about 1,000 miles away from where I got shot. We don't have to worry about that anymore. I'm ok. And that's all that matters."
"Yeah,I guess you're right. I've just been worrying too much. But for some reason I just can't help it. Especially with Trowa being like this."
"At least he isn't dead,and neither are you. Well,I'm going to see Trowa,so you can do what you want,"and he left the room.
