Chapter 7
Confusion
"Its."
"Say it already old man." Said an impatient Irvine.
"Happy Birthday." Said Dr. D. Irvine fell like in anime style.
"What!" Yelled Irvine as he got up.
"Ops, got the wrong paper." Dr. D put his hand behind his head and laughed.
"You stupid old fossil. This is no time to joke around!" Yelled Irvine.
"Watch your mouth you air head." Said Dr. D.
"Stop calling me air head. Just read what the real one says." Said Irvine. His curiosity was killing him.
" Well it says that Matt's DNA is…"Said Dr. D. But was cut of by Moonbay.
"Anything new guys?" Asked Moonbay as she came in.
"Dr. D was about to tell me if Matt is Van when you came in." Said Irvine.
" Really? You got the results so what do they say?" Asked a curious Moonbay. /If he is Van, Fiona would be so happy!/ Thought Moonbay cheerfully.
"That was what I was going to say when you came in." Said Dr. D.
"Ok continue Dr. D." Said Moonbay.
"Well like I was saying. Matt's DNA is …" But he was interrupted again.
"Have you seen Fiona?" Entered a worried Thomas.
Everyone but Thomas fell in anime style.
"What do you mean where is Fiona? She was suppose to be with you." Said Moonbay.
"She was but she left the camp without me noticing." Said Thomas.
"What!" Yelled Irvine and Moonbay.
"I think we should go look for her." Said Moonbay.
"Yeah your right." Said Irvine. "We'll check the results later." All four of them left to look for Fiona.
Matt was walking near the lake. Every time when he needed to think he would always come here.
"I wonder what is going to happen now?" Matt asked himself. "Am I Van Freiheit? If I am what am I going to do? How would Annie react? How would I react? How will my life be then? " He stopped and looked at the stars./There so beautiful tonight. Too bad Annie never likes looking at them. I wonder if Fiona does? Wait what am I thinking? Why should I care if Fiona likes to watch them or not. I just saw her once and I can't stop thinking of her./ Matt put is hands on his head. "Why am I so confuse? I don't even know who she is. For all I know she could be married with five children or something. But if she was married she would never had kissed me. I hate this! I'm suppose to be thinking of Annie not Fiona."
Matt kept walking until he saw someone sitting next to the shore. Quietly he walked towards that person. He stayed a few feet away from the person, but he was able to hear what she was saying. He noticed that it was Fiona. / I wonder what she's doing here?/
Fiona was sitting next to the shore. She had her shoes off. The soft gently water touched her feet. "Why do all this things happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? All I ever wanted was to be happy. And yet I can't even get that." Fiona said sadly. Crystal tears began to fall from her eyes.
/I wonder why she's so sad?/ Thought Matt as he kept looking at her.
"Why when I was so happy you had to take him away from me. Everything was just so perfect. I was the happiest woman on Zi with him." Said Fiona softly. "Now there's another who looks like him and I don't even know if its him. God please help me." She couldn't hold it any longer. Fiona began to cry. She covered her face with her hands.
Matt got closer to her. He didn't like to see her so sad. / Who could have made her so sad. Was it Van?/ He sat next to her and hugged her.
Fiona recognized that hugged. She didn't even looked at him because she already knew who it was. She just kept crying on his chest. Matt's hand went threw her hair several times.
"There now everything will be fine." Said Matt. He surprised himself. / Were did that come from?/ He asked himself in his mind.
"Oh Van. Please don't leave me again." Said Fiona threw her crying.
/She thinks that I'm Van./ Thought Matt sadly. Matt just kept his hand going threw her hair.
"Why did you have to leave? You have no idea how you made me suffer." Said Fiona who's crying continued.
"I'm sorry." Said Matt. /Were are all this things coming from?/
They just stayed like that for a long time. Matt felt angry. How dare Van Freiheit make her so upset. But there were to types of anger he was feeling. The anger of her being upset and the jealousy of not being the one she wanted.
After a while Fiona looked at him. There was something different though. He was exactly like Van but there was something different in his eyes. The way he looked at her. The Van she knew looked at her with loving eyes, this one just looked at her with concerned for a stranger.
Then it hit her. "Your Matt, not Van." Said Fiona as she stood up.
Matt was hurt by the way she was looking and talking to him. Her eyes were filled with anger and her voice was cold and harsh. ( Imagine that. -_-)
"Why did you lie to me." She said with an angry tone.
"I'm sorry. Is that I saw you so upset that I was just trying to calm you." Said Matt.
"By lying to me!" She said angry. "You made me believe that you were Van for the second time this day. What are you trying to do? Drive me into insanity! Is that it!"
"Of course not. I was just trying to help. It's not my fault that Van Freiheit died. If your so upset go cry to his tomb." Said Matt angry. /Why am I so jealous of Van all of the sudden? Is it because Fiona is crying to him and not me?/
Fiona got even angrier by what he said. So wham! She slapped him, leaving a red mark on his left chick. Matt just put his hand on her she slapped him.
"Don't you ever speak of Van that way! You hear me! He was the greatest person I knew. He was the best man ever. So don't you dare speak about him that way!" Yelled Fiona.
Matt realize what he had said. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that about him. Is that seeing you so upset over him kills me." Said Matt.
"Why would you care?" Asked Fiona unconvinced of what he said.
"I really don't know. Ever since I saw you I knew there was something different about you. Especially when you kissed me." Said Matt.
Fiona turned red when he mention that. "I thought you were Van so that kiss wasn't meant for you it was for him." Said Fiona.
That hurt Matt deeply. /She's right. Her kisses and her crying are for him, not for me. How could I've been so stupid. She wants him. How could she ever be interested in someone like me./ Thought Matt sadly.
Fiona notice that his expression changed into a sad one. / Was he hurt by what I said?/ But she wasn't able to find out because at that moment Moonbay, Irvine, Thomas, and Dr. D arrived.
"There you are Fiona. I was so worry about you." Said Thomas as he approached her. Then he noticed Matt being there.
"Fiona why did you leave the camp. I told you to stay there." Said Irvine as he to approached Fiona.
"I was bored so I decided to take a walk." Said Fiona who's anger had cool down.
"With Matt?" Asked Moonbay with a malicious tone.
Both Matt and Fiona turned red. "Of course not. We just bumped here by coincidence." Said Fiona a bit to quickly. That meant that something had happened, but only Moonbay and Irvine notice that.
"Well now that we are all here I should read the results." Said Dr. D.
"What results?" Both Matt and Fiona said at the same time.
"The ones the confirm if your Van or not." Said Dr. D as he took out the piece of paper.
Fiona was nervous now. /Could he be Van?/
Matt was nervous too. /Am I Van?/
Moonbay was just impatient. /I really hope that he is Van./
Irvine's curiosity wasn't leaving him. / He had better be Van./
Thomas heart was breaking. /If he is Van then I wont get a chance with Fiona then./
It seem like and eternity for everyone except Dr. D.
"Well it says. Matt's DNA is exactly like Van Freiheit's DNA." Said Dr. D.
"That means that he is Van!" Said a happy Irvine. Moonbay started jumping of happiness. Thomas even though his chance with Fiona was destroyed he was still happy for his friend. Dr. D was laughing of happiness. Matt was deeply surprised.
/I'm Van Freiheit. I'm the hero of Zi./ Matt couldn't believe what he was hearing. He turned to see Fiona who had a real pale face. "Are you alright?" He asked with concerned. Fiona didn't say anything she just fainted. Matt quickly went to catch her. "Fiona are you alright?" He asked worried. Everyone turned to look at them.
"Fiona!" Said Moonbay as she ran to her.
"She needs to rest." Said Dr. D.
Matt just picked her up in his arms. " If you guys need a place to stay come to my house."
Everyone agreed. They went to his house. Matt was still caring Fiona.
"It's not a big house but we should fit in here." Said Matt. " The ladies can sleep in one room and the men in the other one."
"Thanks Matt. You should take Fiona the room while we get some things ready." Said Moonbay.
"Ok." He said. Matt walked inside the bedroom and carefully laid Fiona on the bed. Deep inside he felt really happy. /Does Fiona feel something for me? After all it is proved that I am Van Freiheit./ He gently caress her cheek. While he was doing that Fiona woke up.
"Van." She said softly.
"Yes Fiona." Answered Matt.( Wait a minute I mean Van.)
"What's going on?" She asked softly.
She looked so innocent to him. "Everything is fine. You just need to rest now. We'll talk in the morning." Said Van.
"But…" But Van cut her off.
"Shhhh. Just rest ok." Said Van as he covered her with the blanket. Fiona was to tired to protest. So she drifted to sleep.
