Left Behind

Chapter 3

"Yeah he doesn't look so good... The house is a wreck... Skin and bone... You still want me to bring him?.. fine. I'll bring him." Yuri heard the sentence in pieces. He was still looking forward at the person in front of him, the silver hair the only thing he could process. "Hello Yuri, My name is Irina." The person in front of him said slowly. Yuri raised his head slightly at the woman talk. "I'm Viktors cousin and he asked me to come get you. Aren't you happy?" Yuri's dull eyes widened. His head began to spin. Viktor, Viktor, Viktor, The name kept ringing in his head. he let out a scream of agony and hunched over. Irina jumped back frightened and reached a hand out slowly, placing it gently on Yuri's shoulder. Yuri flinched at the touch, but did not move other wise.

"Yuri... I'm gonna go look for clothes and other things you'll need. I'll pack them up for you and we'll get going." Irina stood up and took another glance around the room. "It's not healthy for you to stay here." She said while sighing. She walked down the hallway of the resort opening each door looking for some sign of a dresser or a bathroom or something that showed that an actual human was living here for months and surviving.

She opened the last door and finally sighed in relief when she saw a bed and dresser. she stepped into the room and flicked the light switch. When the light didn't turn on she let out an irritated growl. "How can anyone live like this. Stupid Viktor." She mumbled and made her way to the dresser. Surprisingly this was the one room of the house that had the least amount of blankets, the one with the most being the dining area. She pulled open the middle drawer and saw neatly folded shirts that looked like that hadn't been worn in months. "I wonder why" She mumbled to herself sarcastically and started to pull out shirts, placing them on the bed.

She closed the drawer then pulled open the one below it. Pants were folded neatly and she pulled out those as well and placed them next to the shirts. She glanced around the room hoping to see some sort of bag she could put his things in, but couldn't find anything. She walked over to his closest and opened it, a large amount of Viktor posters falling out along with magazines, and a couple of t-shirts.

Behind the clutter that was still there she could see the handle of a suitcase sticking up. she leant over the pile and grabbed the suit cases handle. She tugged on it, but it wouldn't budge. She started to shovel away the items that kept the suit case in its place and tugged again. After three attempts the bag came loose. She stumbled back a little, but kept her balance. Placing the suitcase on the bed, she began to pile in all the clothes she had placed on the bed. She pulled out her phone and gasped at the time. Closing the suitcase quickly and deciding whatever he left behind they'll buy later, She made her way out of the room, down the hallway, and back to where Yuri sat.

Yuri was still sitting in the same place she had left him, he was staring forward with a blank expression on his face. Irina let go of the suitcase handle and went over to Yuri. "C'mon, Lets go. we've kept the taxi driver waiting long enough." She grunted out as she lifted Yuri to his feet. She noticed that his clothes were hanging off him loosely and she sighed. She grabbed a blanket from off the ground and wrapped it around him. She took his arm and put it over her shoulders, placing one hand on his waist to keep him up then walked slowly over to where the suitcase was, grabbing it with her free hand.

She helped Yuri along to the front door and nudged it open with her foot, using her leg to slide it open the rest of the way. She half dragged him to the taxi that was waiting in front of the resort. She let go of the suitcase handle and opened the door to the taxi, Placing Yuri gently inside and making sure he was sitting comfortably, although she couldn't really tell since he was still expressionless. "Is he ok?" the taxi driver asked and Irina gave a small nod.

"Yeah he's fine. Can you put this suitcase in the trunk please." She said and turned around, making her way back up to the front doors of the resort. She walked into the lobby and went behind the desk. She opened drawers and moved junk around in them, smiling when she found a key. She walked out the front doors and slide them closed locking them. She put the key in her pocket then made her way down to the taxi again, The driver already back in the drivers seat with both hands on the wheel. Irina got into the other side of the taxi and le tout a sigh. "To the airport please."

"Of course." The driver said and started up the car. They headed down the street and Irina glanced back, seeing the resort start to get smaller and start to look more and more abandoned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Irina sat down next to Yuri in the gate. She yawned a little and glanced over at Yuri. his facial expression hadn't changed at all and he was still wrapped up in a blanket. She squeezed the cup in her hand a little and looked away from Yuri.

She took a sip of her coffee and pulled her phone out of the pocket of her coat. She unlocked it and sent a text to Viktor letting him know they were at the airport. Viktor responded with a bunch of emoji's and Irina mentally faced palmed. She put her phone a way and glanced up to see the other passengers slowly start to take seats at the gate. She rested back in her chair and waited patiently for their plane to arrive.
