it.
A/N: Well Everyone I'm going to try for about the third time to type this chapter. Let see if it works.
Tristan's POV
I rode with him in the ambulance. I held his hand and let the shrieking siren fill my head blocking out my thoughts. I couldn't think, I can't think of what's going on, it's too horrible. I take out my cell phone and dial Yugi's number feeling like I'm trapped in a nightmare.
"Hello, Motou residence." Yugi's voice comes out of the phone beginning to break the surface of this dreamland.
"Yugi, Duke's in the hospital." My throat is tight and I know I must sound like a wreck.
"Oh, Alright Tristan I'll be there soon." He hangs up the phone not bothering to say goodbye but I don't really care all I can think about is Duke, how this is all my fault.
What if I had never kissed him? He wouldn't be in the hospital now would he? Or would I have done something just as stupid? Or what if I had just confessed how I felt from the beginning, would that have made a difference? Or if I had never avoided him, or if I had never seemed so angry. Would everything be okay now? It's all my fault, all my fault. I can hear myself screaming, "I made a mistake!" in that crowded lunchroom over and over again. Yeah I did make a mistake, didn't I? And now look at what has happened. The tears that I had held at bay for so long finally break through and I cover my eyes hoping to hold them back.

About half an hour later
I jump as a hand touches my shoulder and I look up in to Yugi's violet eyes. Behind him I can see Yami, Tea, Joey, Mai, Serenity, Ryou, and even Kaiba and Mokuba. I try to hide my tears but I know everyone has seen them.
Tea comes over and takes my hand, kind as always "What happened Tristan?"
I open my mouth to answer her but strangely I don't want to reply. I don't want anyone to know how weak Duke was. Don't be stupid, I tell myself, they need to know why they're here.
"He- He tried to, to" I take a deep shuddering breath and finally force the words out "He tried to kill himself." As I say those words I feel something break inside of me and I just can't handle this any longer. I hear a few people gasp and Yugi lays a hand on my shoulder except I don't really notice him or anyone else. The only thing I can see is Duke lying on the floor bleeding, the only thing I can hear is his shallow breathing and my own silent prayer, please let him live, please.
A/N: Meh heh! Finally I have another chapter typed. Yay! Unfortunately is really short. But anything is better than nothing right? I'm just glad that I finally can get it right. I'm not at all sure when I'll update next I'm working on something new so who knows I might devote my time to that for a while.
