Life After Chaos: Havoc

O Gay Is The Garland

VIOLAS POV

        After the unexpected turn of events that occured not too long ago in the cafeteria, I immediatley wen't to my room, well, that is of course after some things were said... Here's how it went down:

        So first I went, "HOW COULD YOU, WHAT POSSIBLE MOTIVE DO YOU HAVE TO RESULT TO POISONING TODD!?"

        At first he was baffeled, maybe 'cause out of all the people there I started yelling. But then he said, "You can ask me that?" Suprisingly calm, he went on, "You left me no choice, I mean honestly what does a guy have to do to get some attention from his crush around here!?" His noise gets yellow with embaressment. 

        I stand there shocked at what he said. I know he likes me but, poisoning Todd? That's--it's---wow. I just dont beleive it, I actually TRUSTED him, I don't know why, maybe for the exact reason I shouldn't. I thought since he cared about me that he would protect me. Apparently I was wrong. Dead wrong. But then I come back into reality.

        "If you think this," I gesture around the room to the people staring," will help your chances with me, or with ANYONE here, then I guess you're blind in more places than sight. 

        He doesn't answer immediatley, as if that one thing hurt him, he hurts me, I hurt him. Sadly that's how most of the world works now. An eye for an eye right? No pun intended. But then he looks in my direction and goes, "I did it for you." And his Noise showed memories of us at the Answer Camp, making bread for thousands of people, going on patrols, saving the day, but all of that made me sick. So I slapped him. Hard. And then I said, "Well, that was for Todd." And left. 

        So I went to Todd's room to go see if I could help the doctors with anything. There is a suprising amount of people in here. "Hildy?" I hear someone say, and as I turn around I see Wilf. 

"Oh, hey Wilf, sorry about that scene you just saw."

"Aw its okaee, ahm bringin' some tests tuh Todd, wanna come?"

"Yeah okay." Because all I want to do is sit next to Todd.

"Where's Lee?"

"Sum peeple took him tuh the cellurs." He said with uneasiness. 

"Oh." is all I said.

        We walk in and Wilf goes with the 5 other doctors in the diagnostics table, and I go by the bed and take his hand. Still warm. His face is so cute when it's resting. Just before he "died" his Noise told me that he loved me too. And to think, seconds after we won, that was the last time I said that to him. We only kissed once, but it was at the right time. I often think about what will happen if Todd wakes up, no, when he wakes up. Will he be happy? Will he remember me? What will I do if he doesn't. God, I wish I had Noise just so I could show him all we've been through. I haven't really thought of what would happen if he doesn't wake up. I don't want to. I find myself thinking about this often. Two doctors smile at the diagnostics table, look up at me, at eachother, and back at me. They walk over to me.

"Hello Viola, I'm Mistress Berhd, and this as you know is Dr. Heimann." 

I just look at them. They look at eachother, their smiles still plastered on their face.

"Yes I beleive I know you both, now can I help you?"

"Well we just wanted to let you know that we figured out that without the drug Lee's been giving Todd, Todd should be getting better within the next week." I stand up at this, still holding his hand in mine. 

"What? When? How? When?" I say when twice because, well, I really want to see Todd.

"He should be making progress by tomorrow, but that doesn't guarentee he wakes up."

        I should feel sad, but I'm beyond happy that he's making progress, getting better, maybe he wakes up and we live together, run away to Old Prentisstown like he wanted. Maybe even have a family. But thats if he wakes up. I can't deny that word is there. IF. if. if. if he wakes up. if he remembers me. if he loves me. if he changes. if he's Todd. But for now, I'm happy as can be.
