Chapter Twelve: A Broken Heart and A Trip To The Hospital
After the horrible day I had I thought for sure that I would be able to get a good nights sleep. Unfortunately that was not the case, I kept thinking about Kaiba...was he okay? Was he mad at me? Who am I kidding if I know Kaiba, which I do...he's probably furious with me. He gave me a place to stay and I hurt him.
The following morning came to soon. Sometime during the night I must have fallen asleep because when my alarm went off I flew out of bed and onto the floor. At first glance I forgot where I was. The room that I was in looked nothing like the room I had when I was staying with Kaiba. This room had more of a lived in feel, the atmosphere was completely different. Even though I hated to say it but the change in atmosphere was nice.
Suddenly I was snapped back to reality with a knock on my door.
"Abbey?"
"Come in Tea?" I said picking myself up off the floor.
"Are you ready to...Oh Abbey you look terrible, maybe you should take it easy today." Said Tea with worry in her eyes.
"I can't Tea, Not with the semi finals right around the corner. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be ready to go." I said trying to sound cheery.
With one glance in the mirror I knew what Tea said was the truth. I did look terrible. I was so pale I could stand against the wall and disappear, my hair was so damp from sweat that my hair was sticking to my face and I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open due to being so tired. Oh well I thought to myself as I go to look for something to wear.
"Are you sure you are up for this today? You look like you don't feel well."
"Tea, I am fine really." I said trying to sound convincing.
The truth was I was not fine, I felt like each step was getting harder to take. My body felt heavy and I was pretty sure I had a fever. Even though it was a beautiful day I kept shivering.
"Hey Look. There's Yugi and Joey!" Said Tea pointing across the street to where the two stood.
It was great to see Yugi again without feeling like I had to watch for Kaiba. I very carefully made my way across the street just to be asked once again if I was alright to duel for the day. I reassured them and we were on our way.
As we were walking through the streets of Battle City I began to feel worse. The world was spinning but there was no way I was going to let a little cold stop me from kicking but!
"Hey you! Yes you, the one with the pink hair. You want to duel?" Said a voice I was familiar with.
This was it my chance to duel Rex Raptor was finally here.
"Let's Duel." I said with a smile, a weak smile but a smile none the less.
I could not believe it I was getting my chance to duel Rex. I have waited for this moment for so long, however the moment was short lived because as soon as I got my duel disk ready the world started spinning again and my vision become fuzzy. The last thing I remember was Yugi yelling my name.
When I came to there was an extremely bright light in my eyes. I could hear voices all around me but they seemed far away. You know how when the TVs volume is on low and you have to try really hard to hear it because you can't find the remote? That's what the voices sounded like.
I couldn't remember anything. Where was I? When and how did I get here? As these thoughts went through my mind I turned my head and let out a soft cry.
"Yug she's awake!" Said a voice I knew but couldn't place.
"Thank goodness Abbey"
I recognized that voice instantly. It was Yugi! All at once everything came flooding back to me in a wave of memories. I was in Domino City taking place in the Battle City Tournament. One minute I was getting ready for my duel with Rex and the next I'm...
"Yugi, where am I?" I asked.
"You are in the hospital. You passed out getting ready for your duel." Yugi said with bright eyes, he was clearly happy that I was awake.
"When can I leave?"
Everyone looked at me but no one answered. A puzzled expression on their faces.
"Abbey, you need to just relax for now." Said Joey sitting on the edge of the bed.
Fantastic that was code for Abbey you won't be leaving for a while so you might as well get comfortable. That was all it took and the tears came rolling down my face.
"Now look at what you've done Joey."
I was surprised by the voice and shifted my weight as carefully as I could to look at Mai. She was standing in the doorway looking at Joey, a very irritated look crossing her face only for a moment before she walked up to the bed.
"Hon, don't worry you'll be up and moving in no time. You just need to rest is all." She said giving me a smile and a thumbs up.
"Mai is right." Said Tea.
"I...I...didn't mean to make you cry Abbey." Said Joey rubbing the back of his head.
"Not to sound like a pain but we should probably let her rest now, all this stress can't be good on her." Said Mai turning to face everyone else.
"Yugi, wait." I said holding back more tears.
As Yugi turned to look at me I knew in that moment everything was going to be fine.
"Please stay with me."
Please Review. :)
