Tsubaki And Vhynn's Story

Chapter 7

When we arrived to the hospital I was greeted by the scent of anesthetics and never ending white halls, I felt myself sway hoping I wouldn't have to be back for a while.

Vhynn stood near the entrance, waiting for us obviously, but something was off. He seemed, almost worried.

"Why aren't you out at dinner with the others?" I asked taking his hand in mine.

"April is incredibly sick; she started running a 108 degree fever. We rushed her over as fast as we could." his palms were sweating.

I took his face in my hands and made him look at me. "It's going to be okay Vhynn, let's go see her"

He leaded us to the elevator as we rode up to the 32nd floor. I stared out the widow unsure what to say in the deathly silence.

He led us to room 18, when we walked through the door I felt my stomach drop as I saw April hooked up to many machines, barely alive. Her breathing was shallow and her heart beat weak as we entered.

Beside her sat their parents each holding her hand as sweat collected on her forehead.

A song rang through the room as a buzzing filled a nearby countertop.

"You said you fell in love

and thus was more than I had ever been afraid of

another life~"

The song played getting louder by the second, we looked around. Unable to place the source.

"I'm running around but there's no place to hide~"

I finally found the phone as the song continued to play,

"why can't they forgive me these demons inside~"

I picked it up surprised to find the caller listed as 'My one true Love',

"Hello?" I answered realizing now that it was April's phone.

"April?! Where are you!!!! I need to talk to you ab- wait Tsu?!" he stopped surprised.

"Where's April?!" he asked his voice frantic.

"Were at the hospital, come and we'll explain there" I hung up before he had a chance to protest.

"Come on Star" I said grabbing her arm.

"We have business to attend to" I said before bowing and leaving the room with Star in tow.

As we waited in the elevator, we stared outside the glass walls to find an ambulance pulling up in front of the ambulance.

As we stepped out of the elevator, a gurney passed by with what was once a strikingly hot guy on top, now bloody and torn. The doctors were scrambling around in such a hurry I almost didn't notice Star fall to the Ground.

"A-Angel!!!!!!" she screamed as the gurney passed by us, almost in slow motion.

Tears began to fall to the ground in a steady beat as Star seemed to fall apart before my eyes.

She pulled on one of the doctors sleeves and didn't bother to look up as she spoke "What happened to him" the doctor patted her hand looking concerned at her as he answered.

"It seems there was a shooting down at the train station, the one that the US citizens can take across the border. He was badly injured there" at the mention of shooting I watched as Star's face became one of utter terror.

"The gun shots, there were gun shots when Angel called, Tsu. That was him..." she began to shake uncontrollably, freaking out.

"Where, where are they taking him?!" she asked, paranoia adding a bitter edge to her voice.

"Their taking him to surgery, afterward he will be retiring to floor 8 room 14. I take it you knew him" he said, trying to determine if it was okay for him to give out that information.

"I was in love with him." said Star coldly, I took her phone from her and dialed Vhynn's number.

"Hello? Vhynn, this is Tsu." I said not bothering to wait for him to ask any questions.

"Can you come down and wait for Nick and explain when he gets here? I need to go with Star. Look it's important, Vhynn I know she's your sister and all but please, it's just to get Nick. Okay, okay. Bye" I hung up on him and supported Star as we moved over to the elevator and pressed 8.

The elevator seemed to move incredibly slow and have an ominous air to it as we waited in silence for the bell to ring.

When we finally got there, I had to almost drag Star to room 14. She was frozen in place, no longer shaking or even crying. She looked at me, with a dead look in her eyes.

"TsuTsu... That was Angel" she said tears brimming at her eyes.
