Duel Monsters: Primary's Story

Chapter 9: So Many Questions, So Little Time.

"Do you have any idea of how worried I was?!" You could hear the yells of a worried brother from down the corridor. "Getting a call from the hospital saying that my little brother, who I thought was at home peacefully watching his films or studying, was found injured, bruised, scratched, the whole packet, at an abandoned warehouse that was burned down just the day before! What were you even doing there? No. Who did this to you? I swear I will find this guy and I'll make him pay for hurting my precious little brother!"

"It's alright Drew," Lucas tried to calm him down. "I took care of the situation, the best way I could. We won't get into anymore trouble," Lucas quickly realised what he had said in an attempt to take back what he said. He didn't want to tell Drew about what had happened with the mysterious stranger and Jackal. I mean I wouldn't believe a word he would have said at the time. But the second Drew heard Lucas mentioned "we", he quickly responded:

"It was that girl wasn't it?" Drew began acting like an overprotective parent. He may consider prohibiting Lucas from spending anymore time with this girl, whom of which Lucas has no idea who Drew was talking about.

"Girl?" Lucas asked in confusion.

"Yes there was a girl here who was waiting until I arrived last night. She told me she found you like that. But from you're telling me, there was a third person who had bothered the both of you. Who was that girl, Lucas? Does she usually get you involved into this sort of issue? Is she your girlfriend?" Lucas seemed a bit bashful at the thought.

"I don't have a girlfriend!" Lucas turned as red as his eyes. Drew knew better than anyone that if Lucas did have a girlfriend, he'd be the first to know. It wouldn't bother Drew if Lucas did have a girlfriend, just as long as he knew that Lucas was happy, safe, and most importantly, focused on his studies. But now that he sees Lucas as he is, he feels as though he should forbid dating for Lucas. "Another friend of mine was in trouble and I went in and took care of the guy".

"And who was this friend of yours? What's his name?" Drew asked with curiosity. The only thought that went through Lucas's mind at this moment was "Oh no! My precious Lucas is a part of a gang!"

"His name?" Lucas panicked in his thoughts. He was looked past Drew, straight at Jackal's spirit who was floating awkwardly with the spirit who appeared before Lucas the night before. In an instant, Lucas came up with, "His name is Jack". Jackal's ears twitched a bit.

It's Jackal! Lucas, did you forget my name entirely?

"Jack?" Drew was looking into Lucas's eyes, "I would like to meet Jack. When can I meet him?"

"He's a shy person," said Lucas, noticing how irritated Jackal started getting, "I'll bring him over to the house sometime".

"Let me know so that I can ask for the day off".

"Ofcourse".

Drew let out a sigh. He feels as though he yelled at Lucas good enough. Drew looked at the clock on the wall and then the watch he wore on his wrist. "It's that time already?" Drew grabbed his jacket and put it on, "I will let you know when I'll get doctor's said you should be getting out sometime today. See if Jacob can give you a ride. You should go straight home. You need to rest".

"I will, Drew". Drew hugged Lucas one more time, held him close for a bit, he was looking at the deck on the table placed on the table. He sighed again and said, "I love you, Lucas. You know I only want what's best for you".

"I love you too, Drew," Lucas responded, nudged Drew a bit so that he could talk to him face to face, "I'm sorry for worrying you too much".

Drew smiled a bit and hit Lucas's head just enough to make it hurt, "Ow!"
