"Drag me down?" Yuri on ice SOULMATES AU

6. Unavailable tickets and love

(Sorry if this took forever, I was on vacation and i had stuff to deal with. and honestly, it wasn't much of a vacation bc I have many siblings and i am the oldest, and my youngest infant sister is still small so my vacation was a stressful business trip along with my stressed out whacko parents...) I honestly love them.  -Author 

Yuuri's pov:

I couldn't get on a plane.

 I couldn't purchase tickets. 

Detroit was far. 

I had no start on how to get to Detroit.

 And my best friend is in the hospital.

 In another city. Faraway from here.

 And it's too late to book a flight. 

I am not even close to ready to leave now. 

I am physically ready, but not... 

mentally.

I remember Mari's words when she told me what had happened. Because it was an hour ago, and I remember everything...like everything...Like; what I smelled, what I saw, what I heard...I only wish I didn't remembered how I felt.

~FLASHBACK TO MARI'S NEWS~

"He's...in the hospital. He was heading to the skating rink and...he never saw that bus. I...I am sorry, Yuuri." Mari said. She was hiding more details because she knows I'll...break.

"Wha-What happened? Is he okay? Is he...I have to see him! I have to--" I panicked then Mari hugs me to shut me up. I cried into her shoulder, she was hugging me like she was squeezing the panic out of me. It felt bad but good. Mari knows Phichit would be okay, but I hoped he would be okay. It was different.

"I-I wish I was there!" I cried into her shoulder, it was a moment of release to me. I could release my emotions through her, and she could release mines.

"He's my best friend..." I said as I let go of her embrace. I looked up at her and I am pretty sure my eyes are puffy, but I do not care. 

"I wish you can see him too, Yuuri...but by now, all airports are probably close...and if it isn't then...we don't have the money to go. I am sorry, Yuuri." She said. She is right though.

"I-It's okay." I said as I said as I wiped the tears off my face. "I'll see him. I don't know when though." I accepted it and act like it was alright.

"Yuuri. There are some Katsudon over there...you can eat it, if you want." Mari says as she looked at the counter with a bowl of Katsudon wrapped in surround wrap. 

"T-Thank you." I blankly said and grabbed the bowl and walked upstairs. I left whatever I had to do go, I left my chores, my friends and family downstairs...to just calm myself down. My chest feels empty, and my head is just screaming. I know me and Phichit is just friends but I...I feel more than just average friends...he was like a soulmate to me. I don't have a crush on him, but what he did for me during college...felt like what a soulmate would do.

But...I couldn't say anything.

Viktor...he's alive.

Viktor's probably happy.

I know my string is gone.

I know Viktor is out of my life.

No soulmate.

No worries.

No...

Viktor.

Those thoughts sort of calmed be down, I also know my string was gone. I was the one that caused the string to disappear. It wasn't hard. But I did it...but I will not reveal how.
