Secret Love
Chapter 8-Waiting
A scene played out in front of the medic's office, one very close to the one that
had taken place months before. The only difference was that instead of Joey pacing, it
was Seto. Mokuba sat crying in Mai's arms, as she rocked him affectionately. Tea and
Yugi sat together holding each other, while Duke and Tristan sat wide-eyed. Suddenly
Seto fell to his knees as a strangled sob escaped his lips.
"What will I do with out her?" He asked himself as he covered his face, to hide
his weakness.
"Live," came the simple answer from Yugi's mouth. He stood up and looked at
the broken man sitting on the floor.
"Yeah, she'd want me to. She always thought of others before herself." Seto
said as he looked at his trembling hands.
"She always saw the best in a hopeless situation, like her eyesight." Tristan said
as he smiled to himself.
"She had a wonderful personality, always smiling." Tea added.
"Serenity always found a way to forgive everyone." Mai said as she rocked
Mokuba.
"She opened up a person that we never could reach." Yugi said leaning down
and helping Seto to his feet.
Down The Hall
Joey sat and looked at his hands, he could hear their comments, ringing down
the silent hall. He wanted to go and be with them, to see his sister. But no he could
have no comfort he was the one that hurt her. He lost his temper, just like his father.
When had he become him? He was the one person Joey vowed never to be like. Was
he always like his father? Did it start yesterday? His father was better than he was. At
least when his father hurt someone he was drunk. Joey was just angry.
Joey brought his hands to his hair and pulled hard, hoping it was all a dream.
After several tugs he gave up and let his hands fall to his side, "She loved me no matter
what. Serenity loved me and I hurt her." He broke down completely as he rocked
himself in the corner of the hall.
Back With The Gang
"She has to be okay. She will be okay." Seto said to himself as he went to sit
down. As he was about to sit he stood back up and started to pace again, letting his
trench-coat bellow out behind him.
The door opened and a doctor emerged. Seto looked widely around and then
ran straight in the room.
Mokuba looked up at Mai and asked her the question hidden in his heart, "What if
she dies like my mommy did with me?"
Mai looked down at the boy, her heart breaking at the sight of his eyes, "She
won't. She won't."
The doctor looked on the group and then back towards the door, "I guess I'll tell
you instead."
