Hey! Sorry for the delay in updating. Been super distracted lately.

Anyway, I hope you all like it!


Chapter Three:

Seto slowly opened his eyes, everything slowly coming into focus. He tried to recall everything that had happened...

He remembered taking the pills... Then blacking out shortly after...

Obviously his little suicide attempt had failed...

The brunette sat up and looked around the room. He was definitely in a hospital. He glanced over to see Mokuba asleep in the chair beside the hospital bed, his messy locks even more disheveled than ever.

Seto studied the boy's face, his foolish decision weighing heavily in his heart.

Had Mokuba been the one to find him? His dying brother...?

Seto couldn't stop the tears from coming. He hung his head and began to weep into his hands.

By the time a doctor had found his patient awake, the older Kaiba had regained his composure, or at least whatever little bit of his composure he could save.

"Mr. Kaiba! You're awake!" the doctor said with a smile, "You've been out for a while, nearly a day since you were brought in. How are you feeling?"

"Fine." Seto simply replied.

"We had to pump all those pills out of your system. You were lucky someone found you when they did or you wouldn't have made it."

"Who found me?"

The doctor shrugged.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know."

The former CEO averted his eyes, praying that it had been one of the maid's who found him in such a state and not his little brother.

"Your therapist was contacted earlier this morning. She's very worried about you."

Seto said nothing, just simply nodded.

"Speaking of which, your brother was worried, too. He's been by your side ever since you got here. Hasn't slept a bit, but I see that's finally caught up with him."

"Yeah..."

"How old is he?"

"Thirteen..."

"I'm glad to see your memory wasn't affected by the overdose." the doctor continued, "Sometimes we have patients who haven't been found in time and they lose some of their memory... Or in worse cases, they're never really themselves ever again..."

Seto looked somewhat mortified by what the doctor had just informed him of. He wasn't sure why his words bothered him so much... He had been more than willing to lose every memory earlier.

"I know this is personal, but I have to ask... What prompted you to try to... well, you know?"

"I don't know." the brunette replied coldly.

It was silent for a moment.

The doctor got to his feet and scribbled a few things on his notepad, checking the boy's stats and apparently making note of how they were looking also.

"Do you need anything, Mr. Kaiba?" he politely asked.

"Just... rest..."

"Very well then. I'll leave you alone for now. The nurses will have to come in later on, though, but for now I'll let you have some time to yourself."

Once Seto was alone, he laid back on the bed and sighed. He felt like such a fool... He rolled over onto his side and studied his little brother's face.

"Mokuba..." he whispered.

Suddenly, something in Mokuba's hands caught his eye.

His journal?

Seto reached over and lightly pulled the book out of the sleeping boy's hands. Had he read it?

He opened the book and flipped through it, reading a bit of each page as he went. These words seemed so unlike him.

'I have to write something...' he thought, looking around for a pen or pencil. Nothing. Damn it all... He sighed and flipped to a new page anyway. What was this?


Seto,

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but to read this journal after what you did.

I know it's a total invasion of your privacy, but...

I had to know what made you want to do this.

Seto, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting. I didn't know it was hurting you so much...

I've just been dealing with a lot lately...

Just like you have.

Why didn't you tell me any of this, though?

Why couldn't you have told me you were thinking about killing yourself?

I couldn't go on without you. You're all I have.

I've always looked up to you.

I don't know what I would have done if I had really lost you.

I was so relieved when they told me you would be okay.

You just don't know how scared I was when I found you like that.


So Mokuba had been the one to find him... A few tears trailed down Seto's pale cheeks, but he continued to read on...


You were barely breathing... You looked so fragile... So broken...

I called for help and one of the maids came in.

She ran to make the phone call for an ambulance.

I couldn't leave your side...

Seto, I love you. You're my brother. You've always been there for me, no matter what.

And from now on, I'll always be here for you, no matter what kind of a day I've had.

I want to help you get better.

I found out a lot about you from what I read.

I know it was hard for you to admit to being in love with Joey...

I'm sorry for bringing it up, but I just want you to know that I don't think you're weird or anything for liking another guy.

Maybe you should tell him?...


Joey... Seto slightly smiled at the mention of the blonde's name. It lifted his spirits to know that Mokuba was accepting of it, even though he hadn't found out in the way Seto hoped. That is, if Seto had ever decided to tell him...


And Kaiba Corp's downfall was not your fault.

You did everything you could to keep the company standing.

We'll be ok. :)

I promise.

We need to talk about everything whenever you're better, but for now I hope this note will do.

Love, Mokie

Seto felt happier than he had in a while, despite all the shit that had gone down.

Everything would get better...

That's when it hit him.

Joey had been in a wreck! What had happened to him?

His moment of bliss had turned into a moment of fear.

He had to find out!


I'm sorry about the short chapter. I really need to work on this...

I hoped you all liked it anyway!

THank you so much to my reviewers! It means a lot. *sniffles*
