"OH MY GOD YUNIE!"
"Yunie!"
"Yuna!"
"Yuna…no…please NO!"
"…Yuna……"
Yuna came through the front doors and turned the corner with Rikku and Lenne to see Seymour and Tidus standing out not too far away. She couldn't see anything that clear so far away from the two boys…they seemed to be fighting over something.
"Tidus?" Yuna called out drawing both Tidus and Seymour's attention over to her. She was scared. All she wanted to do was be at the dance with Tidus. But when she saw him there with Seymour, she could instantly tell that there was trouble. Yuna couldn't understand.
Just then the gun fired.
Tidus and Seymour both turned their heads to see that it had struck her. Yuna looked down to see a bullet pierce through her skin at the side of her stomach. She saw the blood beginning to pour out. Immediately she passed out to the ground…the last thing she could remember is Tidus calling out her name before she completely blanked out.
"Yuna…no…please NO!"
Sunday February 13th
10:13am; 2 Days Later
Tiredly, Yuna opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital bed. What happened? Yuna couldn't quite remember exactly. She then tried to sit up but found an enormous amount of pain in her stomach. Yuna lifted the blanket and her gown to see a bullet wound. So it did really happen.
"Yuna…no…please NO!" The words flooding her mind. It was the only thing she could instantly remember from that night. Tidus… She had wondered where he was. She wanted to know what happened. Yuna placed her hand on her stomach. She didn't even know if the baby was all right. The thought of it scared her terribly.
Just then her room door opened and Seymour walked in.
"Yuna…!" He then ran over to her. "You're finally awake. Are you okay? How you feeling?"
"Seymour…" She began softly.
"It'll be okay." He placed his hand over hers. "The doctor said that you're going to be just fine."
She then withdrew her hand away from his. "What's going on? Where's Tidus?" She asked.
"Tidus? Tidus isn't here." Seymour simply told her.
Yuna's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what he had just told her. Tidus wasn't here at the hospital? But…why?
"I've been here watching you. Rikku and the others have also been here as well. You've been passed out for two days. But its great to see that you have awakened."
"Why hasn't Tidus come?" Yuna asked softly.
Seymour had wondered why all she cared and could think about at the moment was him. "Tidus? Who knows? I guess it shows that he doesn't care as much as we all thought." Seymour replied.
Yuna shook her head. Would Tidus really do that? Is that how he truly felt about the whole situation? "I know him better then that Seymour. He wouldn't do that."
Seymour shrugged his shoulders. "Well all I know is that I've haven't seen him here. I'm not sure if Rikku and the others are the same as well but who knows, right?"
"Seymour…what happened that night? The gun…and…you and Tidus…" Yuna asked him.
"I don't want to lie to you Yuna. Tidus went crazy." He began. "Here I'll tell you."
I saw Tidus leaving the school gym and walked up to him. I wanted to talk to him about everything that was going on up to now. But since the gym was so loud from the music I asked him to come outside with me. And he came with me with no problem. Anyways, outside, we walked around. I wanted to talk him about how he was cooping with everything, the baby and all. But Tidus, naturally never liked talking to me, cuz of our past together. Me always picking on him, you know, making his life hell. That's when the gun came in. I found it laying on the ground a few steps away and picked it up. Tidus right away demanded for the weapon but I declined since it was dangerous. That's when he charged at me and we began fighting over it. Tidus wanted to use the gun on me so that I wouldn't interfere with him and Yuna anymore. That's when you came out. You called out for him, which distracted us and the gun fired striking you.
"I'm sure he never meant any harm to you but…I couldn't allow him to get the gun. It could have put everyone in danger." Seymour finished.
Yuna sat there speechless.
"I never want to see you in danger Yuna. But ever since that night, I can't trust him. I just can't. Please be careful Yuna. He'll probably tell you lies to make it sound that I'm the bad person but I swear I am telling you the truth."
"…Thanks Seymour. I think I'm gonna get some rest now and think everything over. Okay?" Yuna replied.
"Sure thing. I'll come by later to see how you're doing okay?"
Yuna smiled. "Okay. Thanks."
"What do you mean I can't see Yuna? You have to let me! Please!" Tidus begged.
"I'm sorry sir. Yuna is a class 2 upstairs. Only family members may visit her. It's the Besaid Hospital policy." The nurse explained to him.
Tidus rubbed his eyes in exhaustion. "I haven't seen her in two days. I've barely slept and ate. Please. Just for 5 minutes at least!"
"I'm sorry sir. There is nothing I can do for you."
Tidus sighed heavily. "Wait. Yuna. You see she's pregnant. I don't even know if the baby is okay! She was shot in the stomach. You don't understand I HAVE to see her. I need to know if she and the baby is going to be okay."
"Sir like I said before only family members may visit her. Now I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave before I call security."
Seymour walked through the lobby and saw Tidus shouting at the nurse at the front desk. He smiled evilly placing his sunglasses on and walked away. He chuckled. Everything was going just as he planned.
"But you see I'm the father of the baby. Doesn't that have a say in it?" Tidus asked.
"Are you and Miss Yuna married?" The nurse asked.
"Uh well no—umm not yet?" Tidus replied.
"I see sir. Well in any case that still doesn't make you a family member of hers."
Tidus began to slouch at the desk. "But isn't it close enough? C'mon pleaseeeeeeeee?"
The nurse sighed. This guy was really desperate. "I'll give you 10 minutes sir, okay?"
Tidus shot up. "Yes! Great! That's more then enough time. Thank you, thank you!"
"She's in room 32 on the second floor." The nurse told him.
"Thank you. I am truly grateful." Tidus said then ran off to the elevator.
Yuna lay there in the bed thinking. Why did everything have to happen to her? Why couldn't she just live a normal life? Yuna rubbed her stomach. A million questions circled in her mind yet most of them she couldn't find the answer to. A tear escaped her eye.
"Yuna!" Came the voice of Tidus. Yuna turned her head. She could hear him running down the hall, coming closer and closer to her room. Then finally he entered, panting with a saddened worried look in his eyes.
"Yuna…" He then walked closer to her. "I'm so glad that you're okay."
"You finally came." Yuna replied with a sour tone in her voice.
"It was hell. The nurse downstairs wouldn't let me come up to see you. I've been trying too all weekend. Finally she let me through." Tidus explained.
Yuna turned her head away. "I don't want to talk to you right now Tidus. Go away."
"What? Why not?" He asked softly, a bit hurt from her words.
She looked back at him. "I know everything that happened that night and frankly I don't feel comfortable talking to you anymore."
"You've lost me. What are you talking about Yuna? I never did anything wrong."
"That's not what I heard. Please go. I don't want to talk to you. I might get hurt again." Yuna told him.
"But Yuna…"
"Just GO." She turned away from Tidus and began to cry.
Tidus sighed. "Fine." He then left her room.
Tidus…why must you do this too me?
Tidus returned to the lobby where he saw Rikku and Cid enter the building. Rikku noticed Tidus and ran up to him.
"Hey Tidus! Did you just get back from Yunie's room? Did you get to see her?" She began asking.
"Yeah I did." Tidus said softly. "Yuna kicked me out."
"Hmm is something wrong?"
"I don't know. She seemed upset with me. She told me that she didn't want to talk to me." Tidus replied saddened.
Cid then walked up to the two teens. "Come on Rikku, let's hurry now. I don't have all day." He asked.
"Yeah, okay sure, dad." Rikku replied. She then watched asTidus walked past the two, leaving the hospital.
Cid watched Tidus leave the hospital then looked back at his daughter. "What's up with him?"
Rikku shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Well lets get going then."
Did I do something wrong? …Why was Yuna acting like that? I don't understand. I wish she could just tell me what's on her mind… Tidus begin thinking, shoving his hands in his coat pockets while walking off to his car. If I only knew what you were thinking Yuna…
Who am I suppose to trust? Seymour or…Tidus? I never wanted you to leave Tidus…I'm sorry…I wish I knew what to do…Tidus is the father of our baby and…Seymour has been a close friend ever since grade school. Yuna rubbed her stomach. Tidus…
Cid and Rikku then entered the room with smiles to see Yuna awake and well.
"Yunie!" Rikku began running over to her. Yuna turned her head towards her excited cousin and uncle. "Are you okay? What about the baby? The baby didn't get hurt did it?"
Yuna smiled. "I'm okay Rikku."
"And the baby?" Cid asked.
Yuna looked up at her uncle. "I don't know. I haven't seen the doctor yet." Saying that scared her. What if her baby wasn't okay? What if it was hurt or even killed when she was shot?
"Well I'm sure everything will be okay. I'm gonna go downstairs to the cafeteria to get a drink. Would you like some water Yuna?" Cid asked.
Yuna smiled. "That would be great."
"Okay." Cid returned the smile and left.
"So I heard Tidus was here. I saw him on the way up. What happened?" Rikku asked taking a seat next to Yuna's bed.
Yuna looked down. "I don't know…" She then began to tell Rikku the whole story of what Seymour had told her. And then afterwards, her conversation with Tidus. Rikku didn't look as shocked as Yuna thought she would.
Rikku shook her head once Yuna was finished telling the story. "Yuna…how could you think that way of Tidus? Do you really think he would shoot Seymour? Like, I mean, I know that he and Seymour are like total enemies but…he wouldn't go as far as shooting him. I really don't know if what Seymour said is true or not but in my opinion, that story didn't sound right."
"I shouted at Tidus when he was here…I never really meant to…" Yuna looked away from Rikku as tears began to escape her eyes. "I don't know what to do Rikku."
Rikku placed her hand on Yuna's shoulder. "Hey, c'mon, cheer up. He likes you a lot so he'll forgive you."
Yuna turned her head back at Rikku. "He…likes me?"
Rikku smiled. "Of course he does. He told Lulu, Wakka and I at lunch on Friday. How do you feel about him Yunie?"
Yuna looked down. Tidus likes me…possibly even loves me…Tidus…you wouldn't do anything to hurt me then, would you?
Just as Yuna was going to answer Rikku's question, the doctor came walking in. "Good morning Yuna. I see you've awakened. How are you feeling?"
Yuna smiled. "Okay, my stomach really hurts though."
"I see." The doctor trailed off.
"Is her baby going to be alright doc?" Rikku blurted out.
"Well let's take a look shall we?" The doctor asked. He walked over to Yuna and removed the blanket so he could see her stomach. He then placed his hand on her stomach and began to feel around. "So you were shot in the side, correct?"
"Uh-yes." Replied Yuna.
The doctor then kept his hand still on one spot on her stomach and smiled. "Hmm."
"What, what?" Rikku asked nervously.
The doctor then gently took Yuna's hand and placed it on the stop where his hand was. "Feel right here."
Yuna waited patiently feeling nothing. But then after a few more seconds, she felt something move. "Ah…was that…did he just move?"
The doctor smiled.
"Oh. He kicked." Yuna said happily.
"Really? I wanna feel." Rikku said excitedly, placing her hand on Yuna's stomach.
"Luckily where the bullet struck you missed the baby thankfully." He then paused for a moment. "He's gonna be just find. And you too. Nothing to worry about."
Yuna began to cry. She couldn't be happier. Ryo was going to be just fine.
"You should be out of here by tomorrow night. In the mean time, try and get some rest." The doctor told her then left.
Yuna looked over at Rikku and stared at her.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Rikku asked, not feeling comfortable with Yuna staring at her with that look.
"I really blew things with Tidus, Rik. I mean…regardless if what Seymour told me is true or not…I still want Tidus here with me."
Rikku smiled. "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey."
"What?" Yuna asked.
"You like him." She told her.
"Rikku!" Yuna shouted.
"You like him! You like him!" Rikku said spinning around in her chair. "Hmm possibly even love him, eh?"
"Don't push it cuz." She said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Oooooookay fine."
After their conversation, Cid came back. They stayed for a bit longer then left for home while Yuna remained to rest.
Tidus lay on his bed that afternoon listening to music. He didn't know what to do anymore. He didn't understand why Yuna was so upset with him.
'Just GO!'
'I don't want to talk to you. I might get hurt again.'
'I don't feel comfortable talking to you anymore.'
Tidus sighed heavily. "Ohhhh why does Yuna have to be so complicated sometimes?"
Tidus stood up and left his room, walked downstairs and into the kitchen where he poured himself a glass of coke. He then sat down at the table and began to drink. While doing so, he noticed the mail sitting on the table. He skimmed through and found one addressed to him from Auron, his blitzball coach.
Tidus took another sip of his coke and began to read to letter. Apparently the Besaid Aurochs made it into the finals and has to attend the tournament in Luca in May.
"Finally some blitzball. Felt like ever since I last played…hmm…yet again…Seymour is also on the team too. But Wakka is too so I guess it won't be so bad." He said to himself. Once he finished his coke, Tidus returned to his room and lay back down on his bed. He checked his watch. 4:52pm. He spent half the day doing noting but sit around in his room after his visit to Yuna.
Just then his phone rang. Tidus leaned over his bed and grabbed it, holding it up against his ear.
"Hello?" Tidus began.
"Tidus! Its Rikku." Came her voice on the other line.
"Hey Rikku. How was your visit with Yuna? Hopefully better then mine."
"Yeah, yeah. It turns out that both Yuna and the baby are going to be just fine. They're letting Yunie out tomorrow night."
Tidus chuckled. "That's great news, thanks for telling me."
"No prob. Oh and by the way, Yunie wanted me to say that she was sorry about how she acted. Well she didn't EXACTLY tell me to tell you that but hey, I like to talk! Ha, ha. She likes you, yea know?" Rikku explained.
"Really?" Tidus asked.
"Uh huh. She told me about what Seymour told her and frankly I like, totally don't believe any of it-"
"Hold on, wait. Seymour was talking with her? When?" Tidus interrupted.
"Earlier today, just before you went up to see her." Rikku said.
"What did he say to her?"
Rikku then told the entire story of what Seymour and Yuna talked about. Tidus became furious.
"He's lying! That goddamn son of a sour shoopuf! And he didn't even find the gun! It was his!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! He threatened to kill me if I continued to stay with Yuna." Tidus explained. "He lied to Yuna making me the bad guy so HE could move in on Yuna."
"I have to tell Yuna right away. I'll call you back later, kay?"
"Okay. See yea." Tidus said as he hung up the phone.
Meanwhile at the hospital…
Yuna had carefully gotten out of bed and got dressed, taking all her things with her. Yuna's stomach ached terribly. She shouldn't have been up and walking around but she had to.
I have to go to him…I just…I have to see Tidus… Yuna thought to herself.
She then walked out of her room and slowly made her way down the hall and out the building.
That's strange…no answer…maybe she's sleeping. Rikku thought as she placed her phone on the receiver after calling Yuna. Rikku then plopped down on the couch and began watching TV.
A few minutes later, the phone rang. Rikku reached over for the phone and answered the call.
"Hello?" Rikku began.
"Hello? Is this Rikku? The cousin of miss Yuna?" A voice asked.
"Yes that's me. Who is this?"
"Yes. This is the doctor from the Besaid Hospital. I'm afraid to tell you that Yuna isn't in her room. In fact she is not in the building anymore. I was just calling to see if that maybe you took her home from your last visit."
"No. She should be there. Why isn't she there? Where is she?" Rikku asked.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there you have it. Ahem, yes, well. You all probably know where Yuna is going, right? And if you don't theeeeeeen, I guess you'll just find out in the next chapter. Trust me people; you don't want to miss the next chapter. Ha, ha. Anywho, don't forget to review and I'll have the next chapter up a.s.a.p.
