Calmhorizon: Hi peeps, welcome to the third chapter of Don't go. I am currently writing the fifth chapter, though.

Malik: Frankie (Calmhorizon) does not own Coronation Street, or any of its characters. And there is swearing in this chapter.

Frankie: Thank you Malik for making the readers aware of that.

Malik: Oh, and Frankie would like to thank WolfBane2 for being the only person to review! Twice!

Frankie: Thank you!!! Anyway, on with the story.

Chapter Three

Ha ha, look at you now. You're stuck in a hospital bed, drugged up to your eyeballs. And you can't tell anybody how you got this. Ha ha. I'm so gad you're going to die soon. I don't need you, you're a pointless host, I can find another body. No-one will miss you. They'll be overjoyed that you're gone. Y'know, they you so much you won't even have a funeral. They'll dump you under the bridge and you'll decompose and be eaten by rats. Ha ha ha. I know you can hear me Ryou. You know I'm right. So long live Ryou, long live the swine of the earth.

"Ryou? It's me, Anzu. The doctor said that I should try talking to you, 'cos you can hear me, and a familiar voice might make you wake up." Anzu sat at Ryou's bedside for the first time. Everyone besides Malik were in the waiting room, he couldn't bear to see Ryou in this state. "But I don't know what to say to you. The doctor said to talk about anything, but I've never done this before. I've seen it on programmes like Corrie, but, this is nothing like that." Anzu paused to clear her throat then carried on. "Um, everyone's outside, well, except Malik. And your Dad, he's on the next plane home, he should be here early tomorrow morning. You haven't seen him for ages, have you? It must be horrible not seeing your father for ages at a time." Anzu paused again as she thought of something to say. "Everyone at school wants you to get well soon, they really miss you. School doesn't seem the same without you." Stopped again for the last time. "I've got to now, Ryou. But I'll come back tomorrow. I love you Ryou." As she left she planted a loving kiss on his forehead.

Aww, how sentimental. Oh, get well soon, they all miss you, s'not the same without you. Oh, I love you. Pathetic. It's all lies you know. They're probably partying 24/7. Well, I don't want you to get well soon, I don't miss you and nothing's changed. And I certainly don't love you.

"Hey, dude," Honda came and sat in the chair next to the bed. "I want ya, Ryou, I'm not very good at this, I leave that to girls. I just wanted to come and see ya, 'cos you can hear me, can't ya? And hearing a familiar might bring ya round." Honda rose from the chair and patted Ryou's shoulder, "See ya, dude."

Nothing sentimental there. Hmmmppphh, guess he doesn't care about you. He didn't stay long did he? Maybe he's glad you're in here? And not even so much as a 'Get well soon', this is my kinda guy.

Next to come in was Jounouchi, carrying a big bouquet of flowers. "Hi Ryou." He said, "I know you can't see, but I brought you some flowers, they're not from me, they're from Shiz. She sends her deepest sympathies and says to 'Get well soon!'" He put the flowers in a vase and arranged them before sitting down. "Oh, you got an A on your History paper…and…Mr Hanna says that just because you're unconscious you don't get out of taking the maths test!" he frowned, Ryou didn't respond to the joke. "Ummm, oh yeah, I've got a duel tomorrow , hey, wish me luck Ryou, and who knows? Maybe I'll win? Yuugi's right outside waiting to talk to you. Anyway, I gotta go get ready. Get well soon, man!"

That must be the biggest load of Bullshit I've ever heard! Who does he think he is a comedian? He should get a life. No, two, in case the first one doesn't work out. I bet if he died no-one would give a monkeys. Oh, oh, hey, you've got something in common. Now you can both talk crap.

"Hey Ryou." Yuugi said, his soft tones echoing in the silence. "How you doing? I phoned your Dad and he's on the next flight out! He's so worried about you. We all are. I told Grandpa and he's rung round everyone he knows. He was gonna make some Chocolate Chip cookies but I pointed that you couldn't eat. And you didn't like Chocolate. Or cookies. But he tries, bless him. Malik's been hit the hardest, he bear the show his face at school, let alone here. Everyone's been telling me how sad they are, and to give you their regards. I organised a meeting; to make get well soon cards for you, loads of people came, you should have seen the turnout." Yuugi peered at his watch. "Gee Ryou, I gotta go, but I'll be back tomorrow, you can count on that."

Well, well, it looks like we've had Mr. Popularity here. But Get well soon cards, he's not a baby, is he? He should stop trying so hard. And what's with his hair. Three colours! He'd look better with a paper bag over his head.

Calmhorizon: Sorry if anyone thought the chapter was kinda short. It's only three pages.
