Chapter Nine
Hours later...
It was 1am. Jin was pacing up and down the waiting room. He was so terrified and worried about Xiaoyu. Kiyoshi came up to Jin.
"Kazama San. Would you like me to get something for you to eat or drink from the cafeteria?"
"I'm okay. Thanks Kiyoshi." said Jin.
"Is your hand feeling better Kazama San?"
Jin rubbed his fist. After Jin punched one of the bathroom mirrors, he walked to the waiting room. Kiyoshi saw his bloody fist, wrapped in a paper towel. Kiyoshi was worried about Jin. He wanted to help treat Jin's fist, but Jin refused. He was too sad and worried about Xiaoyu to care about his fist. Kiyoshi told him that he needed to treat his hand. He told Jin that it could take hours before Xiaoyu's surgery was done. Kiyoshi told him that he needed to treat his injury so that he wouldn't pass out. Jin knew that Kiyoshi was right. He allowed Kiyoshi to call a nurse to treat his hand. The nurse treated him and wrapped his fist in bandages.
"I don't care about my hand. I just want Xiaoyu to be okay." said Jin.
"She will be, Kazama San." said Kiyoshi, who put his hand on Jin's shoulder to comfort him.
"Thank you Kiyoshi. If you didn't find Xiaoyu when you did..." Jin sighed "...my Xiaoyu would have been dead if you didn't discover that she overdosed. Thank you so much Kiyoshi."
"You're welcome Kazama San! Thank God I found her."
"I know that I don't always show it...but I am very grateful for you Kiyoshi. Thank you for being so loyal to Xiaoyu and I. And thank you for being so nice and protective to Xiaoyu."
"Thank you so much Kazama San! I am so honored by your kind words!"
Jin smiled a little.
"You're welcome Kiyoshi." said Jin. "You've stayed here for hours. You should go home and get some sleep."
"I don't mind Kazama San! I want to stay until her surgery is done. I want to make sure that she's okay!"
"I know you do Kiyoshi, but I want you to go home. I feel bad that you're still awake. I would feel less guilty if you went home and got some sleep okay?"
Kiyoshi sighed.
"Okay Kazama San. As you wish." said Kiyoshi. "I will come to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning to check on you two!"
"Thanks Kiyoshi. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Kazama San!" said Kiyoshi.
Jin sat down and continued to wait. Forty five minutes later, Doctor Nakano Iwao came up to Jin. Jin immediately got up, looking anxiously at the doctor.
"The surgery was successful. Your wife is going to be okay." said the doctor.
Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He was so happy that Xiaoyu was alive that tears began to form in his eyes.
"She's still unconscious, but you can go see her."
"Thank you doctor. Thank you." said Jin.
"You're welcome Kazama San. Come with me...I'll take you to her room."
Doctor Nakano Iwao escorted Jin to the room that Xiaoyu was staying in. Jin walked into the room. He saw Xiaoyu, unconscious and lying down in a hospital bed. There was an IV drip attached to her arm. Tears fell down Jin's face. He was so happy that his Xiaoyu was alive. He cried tears of joy, but he also cried because he felt so guilty. If he didn't hurt Xiaoyu so much...she wouldn't have overdosed. Jin felt like Xiaoyu being in the hospital was all his fault. He went up to Xiaoyu and gently stroked her cheek.
"I'll leave you two alone." said the doctor.
Jin turned to the doctor and nodded. The doctor walked out of the room and closed the door. Jin sat on the chair by the bed. He pulled the chair close to Xiaoyu's bed. He gently held Xiaoyu's hand and stared at her beautiful face. Tears were falling down Jin's face.
"Xiaoyu...I'm sorry..." Jin started to cry "...I'm so sorry."
Jin bowed his head. He pressed his forehead on Xiaoyu's hand as he was crying.
"I'm so sorry my love...I'm so sorry..."
The next day...
After being passed out for hours, Xiaoyu started to wake up. She slowly opened her eyes. She looked and saw Jin, sitting on a chair next to her. He laid his head on the bed and held her hand. He was sleeping.
"Jin?" Xiaoyu said to herself.
She saw that she was in a hospital room and that an IV was attached to one of her arms. She wanted to sit up. As she was sitting up, she felt some pain in her stomach. Jin woke up when he heard Xiaoyu groaning in pain as she was sitting up.
"Xiaoyu..." Jin said. He stood up and gently put his arm around her. He helped her to sit up. Jin held her hand.
"I'm so happy you're alive my love." said Jin.
"W-what happened? Why am I in the hospital?" Xiaoyu asked, feeling a bit groggy.
"You...you took 10 antidepressant pills last night. You overdosed. Fortunately, Kiyoshi found you and called an ambulance. The doctors pumped your stomach."
"Well that explains why my stomach is killing me right now."
"Xiaoyu..." said Jin with a sad look on his face,"...I am so sorry. I know that I've been a terrible husband. I know that I've hurt you so much. It's my fault that you tried to commit suicide. I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness...but I'm so sorry Xiaoyu. I'm so sorry that I've hurt you."
Xiaoyu sighed.
"You have hurt me so much Jin. You have. But I wasn't trying to kill myself."
"Xiaoyu...it's okay...you don't have to deny that you to tried to kill yourself. You have nothing to be ashamed of my love. Since you're depressed, you can get help. I will make sure that I get the best therapists in the world to help you."
"I'm not denying it. I didn't try to commit suicide. I swear."
"Then, why did you take all those pills?"
Xiaoyu sighed.
"Because after I found out about...about you and Nina...I was absolutely distraught. I took those pills because I just wanted to feel better. I just wanted the pain and sadness to go away. That's why I took so many pills...I just wasn't in the right frame of mind. I didn't even realize that I took so many pills."
"I didn't even know that you were taking antidepressants." said Jin, sadly.
"Well Jin...maybe if you weren't always away from home fucking your slutty employee...maybe you would have known." Xiaoyu said, giving Jin an angry glare.
"Xiaoyu...I am so sorry about me and Nina. I am so sorry for betraying you. I am so sorry for being an awful husband and an awful person. I know that I've disappointed you. I know that I've hurt you. But I have a reason for acting like such a scumbag. I can't tell you here in the hospital. I'll explain everything when we get home."
Xiaoyu sighed.
"I don't care Jin." Xiaoyu said, sounding tired.
"What?" Jin asked, surprised.
"I said...I don't care. You don't have to explain because I don't care."
"Xiaoyu..."
"I have stuck by you Jin no matter what. You have hurt so many people. You've created wars all over the world. You have hurt me over and over again. You've been mean to me, you've been cold towards me. You've disrespected me. Even though you've hurt my feelings, I still stuck with you. I stayed with you because I love you Jin. I didn't want to give up on you because I love you. But you having an affair with Nina...that was the last straw."
"Xiaoyu..."
"Out of all the ways you've hurt me...sleeping with Nina is the worst thing you've ever done. You disrespected me and our marriage by cheating. I can't forgive you for that Jin. I can't."
"Xiaoyu...please...I don't love Nina. I don't. I love you. I love you more than anything. Nina doesn't mean shit to me. Xiaoyu, please..." Jin kissed her hand many times. "Please my love. I know that what I did was despicable, but please forgive me. Please Xiaoyu...I love you...I need you. Please."
Jin wrapped his arms around her waist and put his head on her chest. He was crying.
"Please my love...forgive me!"
Tears started to form in Xiaoyu's eyes.
"No!" she said, pushing him off of her. Xiaoyu started crying. "I can't Jin. I can't forgive you. I can't stop picturing you...with her. I can't stop thinking about the fact that you kissed her. You touched her...you slept with her...I've lost all my respect for you Jin. I'm sorry but I can't forgive you."
"Xiaoyu...please..." said Jin, holding her hand.
"I said no!" said Xiaoyu, releasing her hand from him. "It's too late. What you did was unforgivable. It's over Jin. After I'm released from the hospital, I'm getting my things. I'm going to China to stay with my family. I want a divorce and I never want to see you again!"
"Xiaoyu..." said Jin, with tears in his eyes.
"JUST GO!" Xiaoyu yelled, tears in her eyes.
Jin stared at Xiaoyu with tears falling down his face. He reluctantly turned around and walked out of the room. After he closed the door, Xiaoyu cried. She was absolutely heartbroken.
Xiaoyu stayed in the hospital for a week. She told Jin not to visit her because she didn't want to see him or talk to him. Although she banned him from visiting her, Jin still sent her gifts every day. He sent her get well cards and sorry cards. In the cards, Jin hand wrote how sorry he was and how much he loved Xiaoyu. Jin also sent her flowers, teddy bears and chocolates. Xiaoyu's hospital room was full of flowers, cards and gifts.
When Miharu and Panda visited, Miharu would jokingly ask Xiaoyu if she could take her chocolates, since Xiaoyu was pissed off at Jin. Lei, Miharu, Panda, Hwoarang, Julia, Asuka and Bob visited Xiaoyu in the hospital. Forest wasn't allowed to see Xiaoyu, but he did mail flowers and a get well card to her in the hospital. Xiaoyu also had a surprise visitor visit her one day…
Xiaoyu was sitting up in her hospital bed, watching TV. Just then, she heard a knock on her hospital door.
"Come in!" said Xiaoyu.
The door opened, and Xiaoyu was very surprised when she saw her visitor. Christie Monteiro stood by the door, holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers and a get well card. She smiled at Xiaoyu.
"Hey Xiaoyu." said Christie, walking up to Xiaoyu's bed.
"Hey." said Xiaoyu.
"Um…I got you these. I hope you like them." said Christie.
"Thanks." said Xiaoyu.
Christie put the flowers and card on the bedside table.
"So, how are you feeling?" Christie asked.
"Why do you care?" said Xiaoyu.
Christie sighed.
"Look Xiaoyu…even though we're not friends anymore…that doesn't mean that I want something bad to happen to you. And I sure as hell don't want you to die. When Miharu and the others told me what happened to you…I was so scared. I was so worried. I'm so relieved that you're alive Xiaoyu."
Xiaoyu smiled.
"Thanks Christie. I appreciate your concern."
"You're welcome." said Christie. "I know I've been a huge bitch to you but I still care about you Xiaoyu. I mean…we were really good friends. Please…take care of yourself okay? I want you to live until you're old. You need to be alive and healthy because who knows…maybe one day…we'll be friends again."
"Seriously? You would want us to be friends again?" Xiaoyu asked, smiling.
"It's not impossible. Maybe one day. Take care of yourself and stay alive to find out." said Christie, smiling.
Xiaoyu smiled.
"Can I…can I give you a hug?" Christie asked.
"Of course." said Xiaoyu.
Christie smiled and gave her a hug. Xiaoyu hugged her back.
"I gotta go." said Christie, releasing the hug. "Feel better okay?"
"You visiting me has made me feel a bit better." said Xiaoyu, smiling.
Christie smiled and walked to the door. She opened the door and waved to Xiaoyu, who waved back at her. Christie left the room and closed the door. Xiaoyu was really happy that Christie came to visit her. She was happy that maybe there was a chance that she and Christie could be friends again one day.
Aw! I ain't gonna lie...Christie and Xiaoyu's conversation gave me the feels!
