Yumi cried into her pillow. It was soaking wet. She honestly thought that she could get away from this disease.
Her parents had taken her back to the hospital to show her, her room. Dr. James had told her that her treatment would take her about 5-7 months and if she was at "Complete Remission" she would be able to go home and have the regular check-ups. She hope that time would pass fast. But that wasn't her biggest worry.
Flashback.
"Ulrich I have leukemia!" Yumi shouted.
Ulrich stood there in shock. He couldn't believe it. He almost wouldn't.
Yumi started cry a little bit more. She sat there while the silent tears flow. But she felt someone wrapped there arms around her. She enjoyed this. He's caring, loving, warm, arms. She knew it wouldn't last. She needed to stop this.
"Yumi it will be fine. Just have faith."
Ulrich's smooth words helped her have faith. Maybe she would survive this? But her and Ulrich she knew would not last.
She pushed Ulrich off of her. He looked at her with confusion.
"Ulrich we can't work!"
"And why not!" he shouted back.
His temper only came with her. They were always told they fight like a married couple.
"Because we're different! We totally different people! And it wouldn't last because of it. And then we'll never have the friendship we do. Don't you see? We just can't…." her words faded.
She saw that he was hurt. And it hurt her. How could she do this? He did nothing to her. She couldn't stay here. She wouldn't .
She ran and he made no effort to go after. That proved to her that he felt didn't feel the same way. She knew it was too good to be true.
She couldn't believe that she hurt him. But all she was trying to do was save herself. But she didn't want to hurt him. Life is nothing without love. But love is nothing if you have no life to give. She won't have a life to give if she's died.
Ulrich lay on his bed thinking of one person. Yumi. He didn't know how to react so he tried to comfort her. But she didn't want that. Why not? All he did was try to make it her feel okay. He wished he could tell her how he felt. He almost did. But it didn't come out right.
"Hey Ulrich, are you coming to dinner?" Odd asked.
Ulrich was so lost in his thoughts he forgot he was there.
"No, you can have my tray."
Odd leaned against the doorway. He stared at his best friend.
"She'll come around. Don't worry buddy."
"Whatever." Ulrich muttered.
Ulrich heard the door close. He sighed and laying on his bed. What could he do? He wanted to help her so badly. But what can you do?
"Have faith."
"What?" Ulrich said.
"Who said that? Who's here?" He must be going out of his mind.
"She doesn't have faith. She thinks she's going to die. Now she's scared that she'll have nothing to give you."
Ulrich stood up.
"Who is here?" he asked again.
"And how do know that? She probably doesn't even want me."
"What does she want then? When she's down about her parents you made her feel better. When you were spending all your time with Emily she got jealous. And when she was about to move you did everything you could to make her stay. When you were a ghost, she cried all night long. When…."
"Alright! I see your point. But it doesn't matter anyway."
"Why not"
"Because, I can't help her! And she… doesn't want it. "
"Are sure? Go and find out."
"But I… err I cant… I mean… I just can't!"
"Go!"
"Why?"
"Why not?"
I here a voice! I'm crazy. I started talking to it! Now I'm insane. And now I'm doing what it told me to do! I've complete lost my mind. Ulrich's mind was racing as he was going to the hospital. What was he supposed to tell her? That he heard a voice and now he was listening to it! She'd think he was crazy! Maybe he was.
Ulrich grinned.
"I'm crazy in love." He chuckled to him self.
Yumi wriggled around in her bed. If she wanted to get out she had to do it in the wheelchair.
She was mad. Really mad. Furious even. She wanted to scream so badly.
"Knock, knock!" Yumi's mother came in.
"Yumi you have a friend."
"Whatever." Yumi muttered.
"Hey Yumi"
"Ulrich!" Yumi was in complete shock.
"Where's Ulrich?" Aelita asked.
"Don't know. Probably still sulking in our dorm." Odd replied.
"Did he get to talk to Yumi?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah he said, that she ran off." Odd began digging into his food.
"Why Einstein?"
"Xana attack."
