In the Previous Chapter:
"Do you remember anything?" He silently asked.
Breaking whatever silence had found its way between us.
Shaking my head, I turned my head back down onto the sheets, using my hair to try and hide my face.
I let out a little sigh, after the seconds past and neither of us talked.
Trying to get a small peek at him again, I saw him sigh silently as well. He was looking outside the window parallel from the door.
Following his line of sight, I saw the faint shimmer of sunrise.
Wait.
Sunrise?!
Does.... Does that mean!! HEY!!!
"We need to talk."
Looking straight into Vincent's eyes, I found myself fearing what I was sure would come next, "What about?" I asked him quietly.
"You don't remember anything, correct?"
"Am I suppose to remember something?" I was pretty sure my throat was suppose to be on fire with how much I was talking, but like he said 'We need to talk', I agreed with that statement fully, but at the same time, I don't know why I agreed with it. By now I was already looking back down at my hands and the crumpled up blanket before me.
"Yesterday, we had.... a talk." He said, choosing his words very carefully, appearing normally under these circumstances, but at the same time I could see he was really trying to get me to remember something important.
"I-I don't remember...." I murmured, more to myself than him I should think. Yesterday was so blurry, there were so many missing details in my memories, like a puzzle missing some pieces to complete the whole picture.
"Perhaps me saying this will help you remember," he paused slowly, giving me time to look at him again, "Secret Admirer." He whispered into the empty air around us.
Not reacting to what he said, I could only let the words run around my head before I could fully register it, "Secret... Admirer...." I repeated.
Still making eye contact with him, I could see the shock split across his face for that one brief second, along with the disbelief and hurt that shortly followed. Making a move to speak again, he was interrupted by the door opening once more.
"Here's your water Yuffie-san," Doctor Strife walks back into the room, holding a plastic cup in his hand that I assumed was filled with water. Placing it gently into my waiting hands, he looks back to see a controlled Vincent who was still looking straight at me, "Vincent, I presume."
Turning his glance from me to the doctor, Vincent gave a short and curt nod at him, an action both acknowledging him and answering him.
"May I ask if you would kindly leave the room so that I can discuss some matters with Yuffie-san?" The blonde doctor asks politely enough to him.
"It won't be a problem." With that, Vincent left me to the mercy of the doctor at hand.
Drinking my water, I gulped every last drop down and savored every single droplet as it healed my damaged throat.
"Feeling better?" His blue eyes pierced me, and made me feel obliged to answer with words and not just answers. He had those kind of eyes that made you feel worthless and stripped naked. Those where the eyes that hunted for the truth and saw past through the lies.
"Yes, thank you." I whispered once more, trying not to make my throat dry up faster and quickly turning away from those penatrating eyes.
"Shall we get back to the questions then Yuffie-san?"
Nodding, I see him get his clipboard and prepare himself to ask me the next question.
"Do you remember anything form yesterday?" He went straight to the point, blunt. I was guessing that that was part of his normal persona.
Shaking my head I quietly whispered, "Not a lot."
"You remember some things then?"
"Very faintly."
"How faint?"
"I can remember some events, but there are some things missing. I think." I say the end with a bit of insecurity to prove it. I gave him some time to finish writing some things down before he continued.
"I see," He paused, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"Sunday morning, right?"
"Yes."
"What time is it?" I ask him curiously, I'm betting it was early, but I had to be sure.
"5:30 am." He casually replies, scribbling away into that clipboard of his.
"F-FIVE THIRTY IN THE MORNING?!" I scream, baffled. True, I was expecting it to be early since the sun was still rising, dimly, and it was still mainly dark at night. But.... 5:30?!
"Yes, 5:30." He calmly replied, acting as if nothing happened.
Regaining some of my lost composure, I look out the window once more to verify his words. Surely enough, there was only a dim sunrise to be seen, a very VERY faint outline of the sun on the horizon.
"How long have I been here?" I ask, still looking out the window.
"Since 5 in the afternoon yesterday. You were asleep the entire time."
"When did everyone outside arrive?!"
"Your friend brought you into the hospital at around 5 and has been awake ever since. Your mother arrived shortly afterwards, I presume he phoned her to make her aware of your situation. Around 8 at night the other two arrived and the 4 of them have yet to leave the hospital." He STILL calmly replied, not stopping to look up at me as he continues to write.
"They never left?" I question again, just to make sure I got it right and that my ears didn't deceive me.
"They never left." He assured me.
Baffled, I continue to look out at the window and refuse to turn around, still afraid of his eyes.
"That shall be all." He says, standing up and placing the chair nearer to my bed, standing behind it as he finished.
Turning to look at him, I noticed how he looks the same as he always does since I first looked at him, calm. Just like Vincent. Making that link, I found myself asking this two question, inwardly of course. 'Did it have to be THIS doctor? A near exact replica of Vince?'
"I will be calling the 4 outside back in, is that alright?" He questions before leaving, hands on the handle of the door already.
Sighing, I quickly decided my answer, "Sure, let them in. Let the tigers eat their food."
Blinking at me, he lets out a small smile and opens the door, "If you're sure."
Shutting my eyes, I wait for the cries to erupt.
It came surely enough.
"YUFFIE-SAMA!!!!!" Reno was the loudest of them all, as he came charging at me, "YUFFIE-SAMA!! MY LIFE!! MY LOVE!!" He bellowed as he ran.
"Yuffie-chan!!" Sara was quick to follow behind him. Both of them had tears pouring down their faces and this (I might be forced to say adorable later) weird facial expression engraved on their face.
Before they could both get a step closer to me though, a secure pair of hands grabbed them both from behind their collar, stopping them at their tracks and nearly choking them. Well it certainly would have chocked them if they ran forward. To bad that Reno stopped.
Blinking, I look behind their shoulders and see Vincent grabbing them both with his eyes formed into narrow slits, "Her mother first."
Cringing at his hold on them both, they turn their heads back towards him like robots, or a mechanical things.... objects.
"Yuffie dear, are you okay?" My mom emerges from the chaos in-front of her, walking past it calmly and pulling the chair beside me to sit down.
Smiling at her presence, I noticed that now I have a clear and good opportunity to see her face. What I saw did not make me happy. I notice that she has eye-bags, that her eyes were drooping slightly and that she was fighting to keep them up. Annoyed at the fact that she wasn't sleeping because of me and my carelessness, I intended to give her a good scolding lecture, "MOM!! What do you think you're doing staying awake like this!? Huh?! You already have eye-bags!! Don't you know how unhealthy it is not to have the necessary amount of sleep in your system?!"
In the wake of my outburst, my mom was left to stare at me until she could react. Determination flared inside of me as I waited for her response. I absolutely refuse to falter. I didn't notice it at first, but there was a small smile spreading its' way across my mom's face. In due course of time, that small smile turned into a fit of giggles, and progressed onto an outright laughing hysteria.
"M-Mom.. are you alright?" I asked worriedly, looking at her wide-eyed. Looking at Vincent who was now behind her dragging the two with him, I could see that he to was trying to contain his laughter by biting at his lip, hard.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!" I as good as screamed to them. Sara and Reno just looked between each other and shrugged helplessly at my question, going back to stare at the only two laughing people in the room.
"I shouldn't have worried so much about you, I have next time though." My mom said beside me, wiping her tears away. I started to wonder if those were tears of worry or from the laughing-fest she just had?
Looking back at her, I turn my head to the side at her response. Smiling angelically at me she answered my not-yet-spoken question, "If you had that much energy to scold at me, that must mean that you're perfectly fine. Right?"
Puffing up my chest childishly, I glare at her, "I'm always fine!" I exclaim.
That earned me a fresh bunch of giggles from her.
"I'll sleep don't worry dear. I'll go home tonight, is that alright?" She asks me, tilting her head to the side, waiting for my response. Sometimes she was really just too childish this woman. Did I have to be the grownup here?
"I never said you should stay." I fire back at her.
Chuckling again she stood up and pushed the chair back under the bed, "No you didn't did you? But that's what someone who loves you would do dear. Let's try to remember that for next time okay?" She winked at me as soon as she finished her sentence.
"NEXT time?! You think that I'm going to faint again?"
"Knowing you dear, you'll surprise us." Smiling back at me again briefly, she blew me a kiss then walked out of the room silently.
Blinking at her sudden departure, I was left to avert my gaze to the remaining three in the room, aside from me of course.
Releasing them both from his iron grip, Vincent pushed them both towards me, causing them to stumble at the sudden push and release.
"HHEEYY!!!" They said simultaneously, causing me to laugh under my breath.
Smirking at their reaction, Vincent closed the door and waited for them to finish, as did I. We were both awaiting for our turn to speak in private.
Between the two idiots before me, I waited to see which one would recover first to talk to me.
"YUFFIE-CHAN!!" Sara recovered first, naturally. She had better reflexes than Reno had, I'm sure.
Grasping my hand, Sara freely let the tears stream out of her eyes.
Oh no.
I can't handle crying people!!
Somewhat sensing my distress, Vincent speaks before Sara has the chance to, "Sara-san, I think that Yuffie would appreciate it if you would refrain yourself from crying."
With the mention of her name, Sara looked at the smarter of the men behind her, "Why?"
"Let's just say, Yuffie doesn't respond well to tears."
"Oh...... Soka." Turning her full attention back at me, she made a supreme effort to stop crying. I really appreciated that from her.
"You didn't need to stay all night Sara." I said before she finished.
"Y-YES I DID!!" She blurts out, the tears once more running free. Shouldn't have interrupted her. "I NEEDED TO CHECK THAT YOU WERE OKAY!! TO SEE WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!!!"
"But... you could have come after you slept."
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO SLEEP KNOWING THAT MY FRIEND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL!!" She wails helplessly.
"S-Sara..." I stutter, I really hate dealing with crying people. Especially over emotional girls, they were unpredictable.
Jumping up to hug me, my head collided with the headboard behind me, "Itaiii!!" I yell out, knee-jerk reflexes. I covered my mouth as soon as I said it.
Shoot!
As soon as I yelled out, Sara immediately released me and got off the bed. Giving me just enough room to check that my head was okay. Yup, it should be fine, it wasn't bleeding. I think.
Exhaling once more, I look up to see that all of them were crowding around my bed now. I was getting claustrophobic.... what's worse was that they kept leaning forward, making sure I was alright I'm sure. But they didn't need to lean in THAT close!
"I'm fine." I say curtly, sighing to myself. When was I going to have some time to myself? At this rate, I think the answer is: Never.
This was going to be a LONG morning.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"PHEW!!" I let out a long and relieved sigh once Sara and Reno had left the room together. Watching them leave, I found myself thinking what a cute couple they'd make. If Reno finally got over me that is, and boy did I hope ever hope he would!! I could breathe normally knowing he was with someone else!!
Hearing the door close beside me, I look up to see Vincent approach me casually, taking a seat in the chair next to my bed.
"How's your head?" He asks.
"I've had worse." I mumbled, recalling a time, when I hit my head on a nearby rock, causing it to bleed a little.
"True." He agreed, probably remembering the same thing I was, of course through a different objective.
Silence.
Again.
It starts to get on your nerves after a while.
"About what we were talking about earlier." He interrupts it. 'Finally!!' I might have added.
"Ya, about the secret admirer thing right?"
"Ya, do you remember now?" He looks up curiously, trying to make eye contact with me.
I avoided it.
"Faintly." I reply.
"Do you remember what we talked about yesterday."
Pausing before I answered, I took deep breaths of air and looked at him. Forcing myself to make eye-contact with him, since I knew that he would be able to see if I was lying or not by this. Mustering up some of my deflated courage, finally replied:
"Yes."
