Ch. 5
He ran. He ran, the rain stinging his face, and the imprint of Joey burned in his head. He was heading somewhere, somewhere where he could see Joey again. He ran towards the bridge at the end of town. He knew exactly where to go to do what he was going to. He looked down and closed his eyes and ran. All of a sudden he ran into something or someone. "OW!" He shouted, his voice shaky and teary. "Yugi!" Yelled a familiar voice. "T-tea?" Said Yugi, his voice filled with sorrow. "Oh my god, Yugi!" Yelled the female. Yugi felt an embrace and felt like yelling out and crying for the rest of his life. "Yugi, where were you going?!" Asked Tea "I... was going to..." Yugi muttered under his breath. "What? What is it, Yugi?" Asked Tea. She was worried for her friend. "I..." Yugi didn't want to look at her. He had this strong feeling that she knew what he was going to do. "Yugi, you weren't going to-?" Asked Tea. "Y-yes." Said Yugi. "Yugi!" Yelled Tea. Yugi could tell that she was ashamed. "I'm sorry... it's just- Joey..." Said Yugi. "Yugi. You shouldn't do these things if there are still people that you love here. When I went to your game shop, your grandfather was totally oblivious to the thought that you were going to commit suicide. He would've been devastated if I hadn't stopped you right here, right now." Said Tea. Yugi felt really ashamed of himself. "I'm sorry, Tea. I didn't think of it that way..." He could feel Tea's embrace get tighter. "Yugi- If anything ever happened to you I'd-" Tea started to lightly sob. "Tea... I'm sorry..." Said Yugi. Tea finally let go of him so she could give Yugi the message she had intended to give him. "Tristen says that everything's okay. That you don't need to worry, and that there's something a about this car crash that makes both me and him suspicious." Said Tea. Yugi's eyes widened. "You too?" Asked Yugi. "What do you mean 'you too?'?" Asked Tea. Yugi's voice had stopped being shaky. "I think that there's something about this that is just too weird to have happened, unless it was on purpose." Said Yugi. He wiped away tears falling down her cheeks from her glistening eyes. "You worried me so much, Yugi." Said Tea. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." He replied. "I didn't think that you'd find out." He said. He looked down. "Yugi... You scared me... so much that..." Said Tea. Her head fell down and a few tears dropped to the ground. "Tea?!" Asked Yugi. He took a step forward, towards her. She looked up, her eyes once again glistening with tears. "T-tea?" Asked Yugi. Tea fell forward andhugged Yugi."Yugi, I care a lot about you. If you died... I'd... I'd..." Tea cried in Yugi's arms.
What's the real deal with Joey's death? Is it a full moon or something? Did you really think I was gunna put romance in here?! XD!!
So sorry this chapter took a while to come out. I was really busy, so I didn't have time to put it up. And there is something I wish to tell you all. Yes, I'm working on the sixth chapter, and yes, this story may be frozen for a while so I can finish up some of my other stories... but the end of this chapter was actually supposed to be romance. Yes, it was.
The part when Tea "fell forward and hugged Yugi" she was supposed to "fall forward and kiss Yugi" yet now, I think that if I add that romance bit, it may ruin the point of friendship in the story, and it'd probably lead me off focus of the Joey dieing bit, and y'know, stuff like that. Right now I want to honestly take the time that you guys reviewed and answer some questions. And answer some comments and stuff like that. XD
FOTD- thanks for thinking so. XD This story could actually be a lot better, but it's not -- I do, however, like the way the chapters switch off characters, myself.
Merina-Anime lover- lol thanks. yes, poor Joey smile he'll be okay tho, you'll see.
kiyoshi-wheeler- I know. sniffles brings a tear to my eye too. -- too bad the first chapter stunk because it was a rewrite. Anyway, read the next chapters, too! Jeez.
okay, I'm working on the next chapter, so everyone, hold your breath for now!! -
