Hey! I have only gotten one review for my last chapter, but I wanted to update as soon as possible. So, here's your next chapter. To let you know, it's gonna be a short one, so don't tell me to make them longer.
Ulrich watched in horror as he saw Yumi jump over the side of the bridge. He ran over to the side, and saw her plunge into the water, but not return to the surface. He knew he shouldn't get the others, but something had to be done, so he went and ran down toward the bottom of the little stream. Wrenching his shoes off, he dove into the water. Opening his eyes, the water stung with its salty smell. He rose up to the surface for air, then submerged himself again immediately. He swam toward the spot where Yumi had jumped in, and saw her. She looked like an angel; just floating there. Her hair was hanging above her head. He swam over quickly, and grabbed her fragile body
Quickly pulling her ashore, he laid her down and checked for a pulse. It was there, but it was very, very dim. Putting his head near her mouth, he realized she wasn't breathing. He wasn't sure how to do CPR, and he didn't want to get the others involved. Pulling out his mobile phone, he hurriedly punched 911. He gave them all the info, then checked her pulse again. It was even fainter. "Where the heck are they?" he said after about 5 minutes. He grabbed her hand which was extremely icy to the touch.
He looked at her angelic face. He wasn't going to let her die. He just couldn't figure it out. Why would Yumi want to commit suicide? It then hit him. She was the one who hit Wyatt, and caused him to be devirtualized, and because Victria can't bring him back, she thinks she killed him. Ulrich shivered. He was freezing. The water was extremely cold because it was February, so when they got out, it made them even colder. But he would never, ever leave Yumi's side again.
When he heard sirens, he waved his arms, and they came pummeling down. They quickly grabbed her body and pulled it into the ambulance. Ulrich was told he couldn't go, so he walked into the factory. He saw them still gathered around the chair. "I'm going home," he said softly. Odd was the only one to turn and look at Ulrich. When he saw that Ulrich was soaking wet, his eyes said "Why the hell did you go for a swim now?" Ulrich walked out, but odd followed him. "Why are you all wet?" Odd said confused. Ulrich's shoulder's dropped. "Yumi tried to kill herself," he muttered softly.
Odd raised her eyebrows. "WHY?" he said amazed. "I think it's because she blames herself for Wyatt's death. She jumped into the lake, but I managed to jump in and save her. I then called 911, and the ambulance came and got her. But I'm soaking wet, which is why I am going to go to the dorm," he said softly. Odd placed his hand on his shoulder, and they walked back to their dorm.
Once they had gotten changed, Ulrich laid on his bed, face near his pillow, body prostrate. "Are you sure you're okay?" Odd said softly. "I just can't handle it sometimes. Whenever we come in contact, she always ends up in the hospital. I really want to beat that guy." Ulrich said, but Odd could tell that he wasn't telling the entire truth. "What else is bothering you, man?" he said calmingly
"…I-I think I'm falling in love with Yumi again." He said shortly. Odds eyes opened. "Again? You've never stopped loving her, you just haven't realized it. Yumi may have said she loved Wyatt, but you could really tell that she still loved you, no matter what she said. I know that I really don't have any experience in love, but you two are kind of bonded forever. You saved her, she saved you, you jumped off a cliff to be with her, she gave herself up to a man she hates, and then you were there when she needed someone. You two will always be there for each other. You two may have quarrels, but you will always love each other."
After listening to Odd, Ulrich was kind of surprised that his usually goofy friend was acting so…sensible. Ulrich then sat up. "Thanks," he said with a small smile on his face. He then stood up, as both of them headed to the hospital, hoping to be leaving happier than thye came.
How was it? Yes, Ulrich did manage to save Yumi. I tried to make it a little dramatic, but I'm not exactly good at writing that type of sappy work. Sorry. Anyway, please review.
