Chapter 15: A new Life
It was freezing. The room felt like it was a hundred degrees below zero. If you sneezed your spit would freeze as soon as it hit the air. Yeah it was pretty cold to keep the bodies from rotting.
His body was shaking very bad. This was the first thing he notices and felt as he came two. Soon his breath came in little gasps as the coldness bit at his lungs. His heart beat faster as if he had been running.
He opened his onyx eyes. All he was met with was a white sheet. He tired to set up but failed. His whole body felt like it was tied down.
He opened his mouth to call out but nothing came out. His mouth and throat were terribly dry.
Voices stopped him from trying to do anything further. The voices came closer. They sounded so familiar to him. One was soft and famine and the other too was soft but much deeper.
The voices suddenly stopped. But the deep voice spoke after a few moments of silence.
"He's awake." The voice said. "L woke up earlier than he's suppose too."
"Yes." The famine voice placed she hand on L's chest. The heart beat was fast. "We need to get him warm fast!" She threw off the thin sheet.
L closed his eyes. The light was very bright to him even though the room was very dim. A warm, a very warm fabric was placed all over his cold naked body.
After a few minutes the blanket was removed from his head. L looked around and saw Dr. Goodwig, dressed all in black and Light bundled up head to toe. He also looked sickly. It must have been the drugs.
"L, I'm going to kick your ass when I feel better. Those drugs were the worst thing I've ever had. When I awoke, I was freezing half to death. My body felt like I got hit by a car. Everything is spinning, and it feels like at any moment I'm going to puke."
All L could do was just look at Light. L felt so helpless. If someone were to come in and kill the doctor and his friend there wasn't anything he could do to help them. L didn't like to feel helpless or useless.
"L, honey, let's try and move your limbs. I want you to flit up both arms." L did as he was asked. He felt a little pain in his right arm. "Good. Now bend your knees." Again L did was he was told. This time nothing hurt him.
L sat up, wrapping the nice hot blanket around his body.
"You'll have to change here. Sorry. But we have only twenty minutes before the examiner arrives. Alber will be her in fifteen minutes with your double." Dr. Goodwig placed a pair of clothes next to L.
L slid off the table. Once his feet touched the floor, a ring of pain hit him. He fell forward. L fell into Light's chest.
"You have to be more careful." Light sat L back down on the table. "Do you need any help?"
"I-I suppose for my boxers and jeans. For my shirt I can do that myself."
"Alright. Here." Light handed L his shirt.
L took it from him. He put the shirt over his head and then pulled the shirt down inside the blanket.
Dr, Goodwig took over the task of dressing L's lower half. During this time Light turned away from them. A few minutes later L was dressed.
Light had to help L up and walk him to the car. L sat in the back alone. Light decided to sit up front with the Doctor.
'Why does it seem that Light is giving the cold shoulder? Shouldn't he be all over me that I wasn't dead when he awoke? The way he sounded when I talked to him in his cell, was like… never mind it doesn't matter.'
"Alright boys. Here is your card key to your room, 1409. You room is paid up till a week. Once you've come to a decision let Alber know so he can make the arrangements."
"Thank you." Light said as he took the key. Light got out of the car and walked around to the back door. "Come on L."
L scooted out of the car. Light helped him up. Together they walked into the cheap hotel. They got in the elevator and went up to the fourth floor.
The elevator ding when they reached the floor. They walked down the hall to their room. At the door Light swiped the card and then opened the door. They were met with a small room. One king size bed, a small T.V with a dresser, a phone on a night stand, and a small full bath.
L took a seat on the bed. Light lend up against the wall.
"What's your name?" Light asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"What's your name? If we're going to live together, right?" L nodded. "Then I need to know your name."
"You already know my first name. My last name is Lawliet." L didn't look at Light.
"L? Lawliet?" Light gave a slight chuckle. "Are you serious? Your first name is L?"
"Yes. Well I had another name but I don't remember it. So when Watari took me in he named me L Lawliet."
Light nodded. Oh, this just crossed my mind. What are we going to call myself in public? You exactly can't call me Light Yagami."
"We can still call you Light but change your last name. How about," L put his right finger to his lip. "Youichi."
Light shrugged. "I don't care. Where are we going to be living?"
"How about America? I've been there before and it's really nice. Light-kun will like it. I know of the perfect place. It's in the mountains of North Carolina."
"Whatever. As long as we are safe and nobody knows who we are," Light yawned. "I'm going to bed. Call up Alber and tell him our plans."
Light took off his shirt as he walked over to the bed. He laid down with his back to L. L whipped out his cell phone. He called Alber and told him of the things that they'll need.

The next day, Alber came to visit the boys. He had two large suit cases and a packet of tickets. There was also a small plastic bag under his arm. Alber set the suit cases near the door and walked up to Light and L.
"There's you one way tickets to America. In this bag," He tossed the bag onto the bed. "Is a change of clothes for the both of you. Just so you know they are some of my old things."
"Thank you Alber. I suppose that's all my money over there?" L looked towards the door.
"Yes. You two might want to hurry up and get ready. You plane leaves in two hours."
"It's today?" Light asked shocked.
"It was the latest time I could find. All the others were filled up."
Light sighed and headed to the bathroom. Five minutes later Light came out with just a towel around his waist. He took out a nice blue dress shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He got dressed in the bathroom. L stayed in his same clothes.
After Light was dressed, Alber took the boys to the airport. Soon they got in the plane and left for America and their new lives
Thats it, its the end. I hoped you've enjoyed it. Oh FYI Light forgot out loving L. sorry to tell you all that but hey what can you do. I hope you all love my sequel 'Always, over and over.'
