Nekos At Wammys

Chapter 12

---Lyssas Pov---

When we arrived at the cafeteria, neither Zoe, Mello, Eileen or Matt were there, and part of me sighed in relief, while the other was a little concerned. Its funny, ever since I got my memories back I've been able to show feelings, which for a while seemed impossible. "I wonder where they are?" I questioned out loud. Near was silent for a moment, before hesitantly responding, "Zoe will not be returning for a day or so, she and Mello are at the hospital section of wammys, and Matt and Eileen haven't left their room for a while".

It was then that my newfound anger showed itself, and I spat out "They LIED to me, and I bet they don't even care that I found out, or even want to explain themselves". These were my only friends for the longest time, we've been through hell and back together, and somehow for the longest time Zoe was mad at me , probably because she blamed me. The steam finally left me as I considered that it actually WAS all my fault. I'm the one who pressured her to go. It's my fault that she can't control her emotional changing. So, making up my mind, I grabbed Near's hand and walked away from the cafeteria, towards the hospital wing, ignoring how good his hand felt in mine. As soon as I arrived at Zoe's door, Mello stepped out. "Mello, when Zoe gets out of the hospital wing , tell her I'm staying away from her, I know I've caused too much trouble for her in the past, it's my fault she's like this" I said solemnly. He looked shocked, but nodded, and continued on his way of doing whatever he was doing. Curious, I peeked through the window of the room, and saw Zoe sat up in the bed, looking a little better.

Sighing, I looked away from the window and walked away with Near beside me. 'Its my fault, it's my fault' I thought as the guilt overcame me. Suddenly, I felt something grab my hand, and looked over to see Near, looking at me in sympathy, and I smiled a little before speaking "we should go drag Eileen and Matt out of bed". He smiled and nodded.

When we arrived at Eileen and Matt's door we heard Matt inside yelling "Eileen!". Panicked, I pushed open the door and screamed as I saw Eileen dead on the floor, holding a needle in her hands with something tied to her arm. When I was finally able to speak, I asked, not taking my eyes off of Eileen, "When the hell did this happen Matt". He shook his head in confusion. "I was in the shower and I came out to this.." He said solemnly. Shaking away ny horror , I said "tell Roger about this now" and he nodded, rushing out the door. Slowly, I creeped up to Eileen, and sat down, looking at her face, now blank. I felt her skin, cold and pale looking. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face, and turned to Near, who was sitting beside me with a sad expression on his face, and hugged him as tightly as I could.

---The Next Day---

I knew I couldn't tell Zoe about this yet, not until she was fully healed and could take it. "Matt, Near, no one tells Mello or Zoe till they return, they need time to settle" I said quietly. They nodded, and I looked at the empty spot that once held Eileen's body, now being carted off to the morgue. I didn't know what to do with myself, I was useless, and couldn't protect my friends any better than a fly could. Hearing a pitter patter, I looked out and saw it was raining. Walking outside, I sat underneath a tree near the hospital wing outside and let myself get drenched, not feeling the set of eyes watching me in confusion...
