((Bakura's POV))
I placed my hand on his chest to feel if he had a heart beat.
Nothing.
I lifted his shirt and felt from there.
Nothing.
My god am I doing it right! I shook him quickly and started tearing.
I put my head on his chest and felt a really weak heartbeat.
I sighed deeply. Oh good. He's alive. I started laughing and wiped my tears.
You're probably wondering why I'm laughing. Just the feeling of someone you thought was dead which is now barely alive gives you this feeling of excitement. You probably don't know so…
I picked him up and wobbled. For someone who hardly ever eats he weighs, either that or I've grown weaker.
I jogged quickly to the hospital. Thank god that hospitals never close.
I had just made it and saw all the lights off. What…what's going on?
"What are you doing?" I asked a doctor that was leaving.
"I'm going home." The doctor said.
"Hello! Hospitals never close!" I screamed.
"Oh well this one is. This one has been finally shut down. There's a new hospital down town a couple miles away from here." The doctor explained.
"But I could run to this one! Look at my friend! He's like…almost dead! You have to do something!" I screamed.
"I don't have my equipment and plus I was just an intern. I couldn't help you anyway. Good luck with your friend." He said.
I grabbed his shirt.
"You're driving me to the hospital! I'm not going to lose my friend because they decided to close the hospital right now when I ever needed it at all! And you better step on it or I'll kill you." I said threateningly.
He started sweating and fastened his seat belt.
I went right behind him with Ryou on my lap.
The intern pulled out of the parking lot and started off very slowly. He was trembling and sweating up a storm.
I got up from my seat just a little so I wouldn't hit my head against the roof of the car and put my knife to his neck.
"You'd better speed it up buddy or I'll slice your neck open right here and steal this car." I said.
"B-b-but I-I-I h-have to ob-obey the sp-sp-speed limit." He said frightened.
"Do you want your life or a ticket!" I screamed at him.
He sped up.
"Faster than that you idiot!" I screamed.
He sped up a little more.
"And you keep it at this pace and I'll spare you." I said sitting back down folding my arms angrily.
I saw him glance at me occasionally through his rear view mirror.
"I know you like my face and all, but I'd appreciate it more if you kept your eyes on the rode and got me to the hospital faster!" I said angrily.
He stopped at a red light.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked him.
"St-stopping at a red light." He said even more frightened.
"My friend is dying! Do you think I fucking care about a red light? You step on it now!" I screamed.
He looked both ways and I rolled my eyes. Goody toe shoes.
He passed the red light and started saying "Sorry" very quickly to himself.
"Are we almost there? I'm losing my patience and my friend doesn't have a very long time left to live and if he dies…I'm pressing the charges all on you and if you say one word…your life is mine."
"Y-y-yes sir." He said gulping.
I heard button clicking and started laughing.
"You better not be calling the police on me. If you do I swear on my life…you will die." I said.
He hung up his phone.
"Good." I said.
He parked his car in the entrance of the hospital and I got out quickly.
I punched his window and grabbed his cell phone.
"I will know if you call the police on me. If they do catch me I will find a way out and you'd better watch the news everyday to see if I escape and when I do…you'd better fear for your life because I will not rest till it's mine."
I dragged Ryou out of the car and threw him over my shoulder.
I pushed a sick patient out of the way and spoke to the nurse in the front counter in a breathless voice.
"My friend is barely alive you have to do some thing please!" I begged.
"Have you filled out the paperwork?" She asked with a bored tone of voice.
"No I have not filled out the paperwork! My friend is dying! Don't you care?" I screamed.
She blinked slowly.
"You're all pathetic!" I yelled running to a room where a doctor was.
I grabbed the patient and threw them out placing Ryou on the doctor bed.
"Just hold on Ryou. I'll get that doctor in here to help you and we can go home and, and just forget about all of this." I said to him ruffling his hair softly.
The doctor came in holding a brown clipboard.
"Ah, Mr. Cabrera—
"No this is Mr. Bakura. Your stupid system has got to go! My friend is dying I'm begging you to help him. I can't lose him."
"Well then um—
"Stop acting so calm!" I screamed.
"I'll take your friend here for check up you wait in the waiting room." He said.
"I will wait with him! He's my responsibility!" I screamed.
"I can't allow you to—
I pulled out my knife.
"I can allow you to come with your friend." The doctor gulped wheeling Ryou out.
I followed behind him.
They left me in the entrance with a nurse.
She stared at me smiling and blushing.
"What?" I asked her attitudinal.
"Oh I…um. Tell me…about your friend what is his condition? What happened?" She asked.
I put my head down in sadness.
"I…I did that to him."
She gasped.
"It was a mistake. I was so angry. I will never forgive myself if he goes away."
She patted my back.
"It happened to me too. Only I didn't do it…someone else did. A long time ago."
I sighed.
I paced around having the girl do me unnecessary favors.
"Stop doing me favors!" I said grabbing her shoulders.
"But I…I just want to relax you. You're pacing." She said.
"I'm just nervous." I said.
I've never been nervous before. What if Ryou does go away? It'll be my entire fault. Everyone will know and they'll all hate me. Hate me more than what they already do. Marik will be on my case just as much as Yami Marik.
They'll probably even turn me in. I…I can' be turned in. I've never been turned in.
"Stop thinking so much." She told me.
"Will you stop telling me what to do!" I screamed at her.
She backed away from me.
"I'm sorry. I'm just very nervous right now." I said to her.
I sat down near a wall waiting for something, anything to happen. That's when I heard screaming.
I shot up and ran towards the door, but the girl hooked onto me.
"You can't go in there!" She said holding me back.
I shook her off me and opened the doors.
The stench of blood and medical antiseptics filled the room. I saw about 7 doctors huddled around a bed.
I went to see what was going on and 5 doctors were holding down Ryou so he would quit moving.
"What are you doing!" I screamed.
"Bakura I don't want to be here! They're hurting me!" Ryou cried.
"We're not hurting him we're trying to stitch up his forehead." The doctor said.
"And it hurts!" Ryou cried struggling.
"We didn't say it would be painless!" The doctor yelled.
"Don't yell at him!" I screamed pushing the doctor away. "Back away!"
Ryou jumped on me and hugged me giving a hiccupping cry.
"I'm scared." He said sniffing.
I looked at his forehead and saw it was still bleeding and half stitched. He wasn't nearly fully healed yet and even though I wanted to get him out…it would have been a much wiser choice to let the doctors finish him.
"Ryou I know you're scared, but I…I have to let you stay here. You're not fully healed yet and I don't want anything to happen to you again. If something does happen I'll regret it." I said.
I laid him back on the bed and turned to the doctors.
"You better be gentle with him if I hear one more shrieking scream it's all of your heads!" I said threateningly.
I walked outside and saw the nurse panicking like I was before pacing around.
"It's all right I'm out now. You're not in trouble." I said calming her down.
She sighed.
"Oh thank god. I couldn't lose my job on the first day."
"I'm going home. I want you, when my friend comes out to tell him I went home. I'll be here as soon as he's fully rested and he's calm and healed. Give him that message I don't want him to come running home to me." I said.
"Of course."
I started walking out of the hospital and noticed the guy was still there. You know the one that brought me here.
I smirked.
"Glad you're here. You can take me home now." I said to him jumping in the passenger seat to make him more nervous.
"D-d-d-did he m-ma-make it?" He asked me.
I laughed with a pitch of evilness.
"No. He died a horrible death like you will if you don't get me home." I said evilly.
He started driving quickly.
This guys a trip. He's so easy to toy with. I told him to pull over right when we were at my boulevard. I patted his shoulder.
"My friend survived. I just loved toying with you." I said laughing and walking out watching him drive away quickly.
When I reached the room I saw Marik at my door.
"What do you want?" I asked him making him jump.
"You didn't pick up your phone in the 50 times I called your house nonstop." He said.
"You stalker man."
"I'm not a stalker. Ryou is very dear to me. I don't need you screwing up his life anymore." Marik said.
"I'm not screwing anyone's life. You just mind your own business." I said scrambling in my pocket for my keys.
"Where's Ryou?" He asked.
"Ryou's out on vacation." I lied.
"So if I call his cell phone he'll pick up right?" He asked me.
"No…because I have it." I said opening the door.
"Ha! Nice try! Ryou doesn't have a cell phone!" Marik laughed.
"Ha! You're wrong. It's right here." I said pulling out the cell phone I stole from the guy.
Marik stayed speechless.
"I want to go to sleep go be a bitch somewhere else." I slammed the door in his face.
Damn Marik. Fucking leave me alone for once. I'll kill him one day and then I'll laugh.
I laid down on my bed. I hope Ryou gets better. If he gets better I promise I'll be much nicer to him and treat him better. I'll treat him like he's always wanted to be treated…like a friend.
I pulled up my covers high above my neck and just stayed quiet in the dark. Alone in my room. The house was quiet. It's so quiet, quiet you could hear a pin drop. Oh well, that was a clichéd line.
I hated this. I wanted Ryou here. I wish he were here.
It started raining. Great a depressing weather to express my current mood was all I needed. I started falling asleep to the sound of the rain.
I heard the door close and thought it was my imagination so I ignored it.
I heard footsteps, but I was so tired it made me immobile. My door opened and I saw a figure walk in. My lamp turned on.
Great! It's the idiot Marik.
"How the hell did you—
"Where's Ryou?" He asked pulling a knife on me.
Ok! Freak!
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" I asked him sitting up.
"Don't move I'll stab you! Where's Ryou!" Marik said.
"On vacation I told you!" I screamed.
"Liar! He wouldn't go on a vacation on a Sunday when there's school tomorrow." He said.
I stayed quiet and felt the cold sharp steel touch my chest.
"Don't fuck around with me Marik. Get that shit away from me." I said.
"No! You did something to Ryou and I know you did." He said.
"Why the hell do you care!" I screamed.
"Ryou is my friend! I don't want him to get hurt by you again!"
"Well, you're too late. Ryou's in the hospital." I said.
"Hospital!" Marik yelled.
The knife pierced me and I gave a pained scream.
"Get it away from me!" I screamed at him.
"What did you do to him!" He asked me leaving the knife there.
"I hurt him that's all." I said.
"Bad enough to send him to the hospital. I should report you." He said.
"He's all better! My god! Get out of my house! You just stabbed me! I should report you!" I said.
"We'll talk about this in the morning." He said getting up from my bed and walking out.
"Yea idiot whatever." I mumbled rubbing my chest and trying to go back to sleep.
I was so excited with what just happened now it was hard for me to go back to sleep. I picked up this book that was on the table and started reading.
That book hit the spot. I mean it really hit the spot. I was yet again half asleep and heard thundering pounds on the door.
I swear to my life if that's Marik I will kill him! I grabbed my knife just in case.
I slowly lifted myself out of bed, the pounding on the door getting louder and fierce. I put some shoes on and dragged my feet down to the door. I opened the door.
The faint street light from down the street allowed me to see who it was.
"Ryou!" I almost shouted shocked.
He was drenched in his own blood and wet from the rain.
He smiled at me.
See god! I didn't kill him. Do you honestly think I'm that retarded? I love Ryou how could I possibly ever kill him? Freaking…flamer's…losers. You honestly don't know my style of writing. It's called drama and dilemmas. Add more dilemmas get a better plot. Right? Am I right? I'm still laughing at how some of you thought I would ACTUALLY kill Ryou. Haahaaha. And I thought you guys believing the whole Marik Ryou thingy ((I knew it would happen by the way. It's why I did it lol)) was funny this was funnier. You guys should feel dumb. But don't take that personally it's all in good humor. It was a mistake. An honest hurtful and mean mistake.
But for future reference, before you start the flame, or the mean comment were you go all ballistic and call me these names I've never even heard of, wait till the next chapter. I know you're all excited and blah blah blah, but have some self control ok? It's all I ask. Not just for me, but for any writer who does something like what I did. I'm pretty sure they don't like it.
I feel like a counselor. Lol
Chapters left: 18, and 19.Sniff 2 more. lol
