Yumi was in complete shock. Why was he here? What did he want? She didn't know. She was kind of hoping it was not a Xana attack.
"Hi." Ulrich said.
"Hey," She replied.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I will be." She answered.
"Hopefully." She added.
"I wanted to say sorry." He started his apologia.
"For what?" She asked.
"In the forest, I sorry for what happened." He finished.
"Don't be. I'm sorry. You were being a good friend."
Yumi looked at the floor. She wondered if she should tell him. She realized if she did it would change everything. And a part of her wanted that.
Her eyes made it hard to understand what she was trying to say. He could always tell what emotion she had through her eyes. If she was sad, mad, happy, doubtful, he could tell. But now they were shinny and unexplainable. He wondered what she was feeling.
"Ulrich I…."
Ring ring!
An annoying cell phone stopped her.
"I'll ignore it." He said.
"No, they may need you."
It rang again.
"Just say what you were going to say." He voice began to rise.
"No, just answer it."
It rang once more.
"Yumi finish your sentence." He was getting angry at her stubborn.
"Ulrich! Answer your Phone!" She demanded.
Again it rang.
"Yumi!"
"Ulrich!"
Another ring.
"Just answer it!"
"Fine!"
They're frustration filled the air.
"Jeremy, umm….yeah she's right here. Of course! We'll be there. Bye." Ulrich hung up the phone and turned to Yumi.
"Xana attack." She whispered.
"Yup, come on we better hurry."
"Did you forget?"
"Forget what?"
She pointed to the needle inside her.
"Oh! Err… well I'll go then."
"What will you tell them?" Yumi asked.
"That you couldn't leave." Ulrich replied.
He turned to leave. Just as he was about to reach for the doorknob he was stopped.
"I start treatment tomorrow."
"What time?" He asked not even daring to look at her. The pain in her eyes would be too much for him.
"8:00 a.m." she answered his question.
"I'll be here."
"Don't bring them." She begged.
"Why not?"
He turned to face her. Though his sight was painful to see.
She had tears in her eyes. Pain unbearable to watch was in her eyes.
"I can't… I won't .. I just can't face them."
"Why not?"
He wanted his question to be answered.
"What will I tell them? How will I tell them? I scared the living hell out of you!"
He realized this was a lot harder than anything he had ever imagined.
"They won't let you face it alone Yumi. They never do. So I think it be the right thing to tell them. I mean they're your best friends. So I'm telling them."
He walked towards the door in fear of her yelling at him for his decision.
"No, I want to tell them!"
He stopped. He around and smiled at her. Her face lit up from his smile. She began to blush and giggle.
"I'm happy that you decided that Yumi. But I really need to go."
The gang was walking back to they're dorms happy because they succeed once more in stopping Xana from controlling the human race.
They had all safely arrived in they're dorms without even being spotted by Jim.
Odd and Ulrich were getting ready for bed. Ulrich layed his head on his pillow and was just about to fall asleep when his thoughts were interrupted.
"So where's Yumi?"
"What?" The question caught him off guard.
"Ulrich you said that Yumi was with you when you talked to Jeremy."
"Well she couldn't make it."
"Why is that?"
"Because she couldn't Odd now go to sleep!"
"Fine!"
Odd throw the covers over his head. Refusing to talk to Ulrich the rest of the night.
A new sickness formed in her stomach as she reached the last floor. She saw the words "treatment" hanging from a room. They made a turn right into the room.
They nurse prepared a needle. Yumi watched in horror as the nurse began to walk towards her.
Yumi feared needles the most. But the feeling when it went inside of her made her gag.
She began to think it was the injection. But her stomach rushed her thoughts. Horrible pains began shooting through her stomach. Then it rised to her lips, pouring out a disgusting sight.
Vomit.
She vomited into the pan the nurse gave her. From there the rest of the treatment was a blur. Probably because she was drugged and in pain.
When she returned to her room she could see nothing. She wasn't blind but it was all blurry.
"Sleep." She murmured.
"I want sleep." Her words choked out. Her throat was in pain and it was hard for her to talk. But she needed rest.
Yumi woke up seeing a new day. She realized from her treatment that had been knock out all day.
Yumi turn her head and felt something rubbing against her. She wondered why her head had felt so cold.
She sat up in her bed and turn around looking at a horrible sight.
Her hair was gone!
Well it wasn't gone. It was just on her pillow instead of her head.
She cried for hours. How could something that was supposed to make her live make her feel so disgusting. She felt horrible. She felt so ugly. Yet, she was still very tried. She slept through her tears.
"Yumi wake up! Yumi have a new roommate."
Ugh! That's the last thing she wanted. Someone to look at her disgusting face.
She looked up at a young girl with long, black hair, she seemed short and she fairly pretty, but over her eyes there were bandages.
Yumi's face became puzzled.
"Hi, my name is Vanessa but, everyone calls me Nessa. You can call me whatever one you want."
"Hi, I'm Yumi."
"Yumi, they said you had cancer."
"It's leukemia, but yeah I just had my first treatment yesterday."
"I hated treatment! Is it still disgusting?"
Yumi was shocked. She had just lost her hair. And this girl had tons of hair. How did she go through treatment?
"What do you mean?" Yumi asked.
"I had cancer or a tumor in my head anyways it turn into cancer. I had it when I was five. They couldn't take it out yet but, when I was 10 they finally did. I thought it was over but then there was some in my eyes. So they're going to do surgery so now I have to wear bandages, and I don't know what you look like but I know you don't have hair. "
Yumi looked at the floor.
"I know what your going through."
Yumi looked up at Nessa.
Poor girl. She's so pretty but, the cancer is killing her. Cancer. The thing I have.
"Nessa, do you have any friends?"
"Yeah, well a lot for a sick kid. But I'm glad because I never knew who was my real friends were until I got sick."
I hope all my friends are real.
Yumi looked at the floor.
"Do they visit you?"
"They wish they could. No, they live in New York where I live. I got put here because its one of the best hospitals for cancer kids. They're littler kids in the rooms below us. I tried to visit them, when I have no IV in me."
Yumi laughed lightly.
"Yumi, if you don't mind I'm going to sleep. I just spent all day in a plane. Then I we had to drive for another 5 hours, so I'm really tried."
"It's fine." Yumi replied.
"Go ahead and sleep." She told Nessa.
Yumi waited until Nessa breathing slowed down. Then she figured she was asleep.
Yumi got up and felt something growl at her. She looked down at her stomach, who was very upset with her for not feeding it.
She checked her arm to see if needed a nurse. Nope, her IV was gone.
Yumi walked down the halls searching for a cafeteria. She saw tons of rooms.
Right above her she saw a sign.
It read: No girls allowed in the boys rooms after 9:00 p.m.
Yumi looked for other signs that said "food".
She turned down a hall still on her quest for food. She walked down into the boys rooms by mistake.
She saw one room in which she couldn't believe.
She saw multiple pictures of families, sports stars, famous singers, actors and actress, but one stood out the most.
She had a feeling of walking in the room.
She stepped towards the picture. It seemed to glow as she got closer to it. It made her feel beautiful, and she felt an indescribable feeling to go down to her knees.
"That picture is beautiful isn't?"
Well here's chapt. 4. Yes I know it took me like forever to write it but I was writing two chapters when they seemed too small so I decided to make them longer but I couldn't so I just became smart and combined them. Nessa is a real person. And so is the other OC. But anyways………
