Chapter 16
Yugi started going back to school the next day. During lunch break Andy and his friends came over to see how he was doing.
"So your parents are coming down?" Tea asked as they walked home at the end of the day.
"Mm-hmm," Yugi answered.
"Why didn't they come down earlier?" Joey asked.
"Grandpa only just told them yesterday afternoon," Yugi answered.
"Well that was smart," Tea said.
"That's what I said," Yugi replied.
"You said right," Tristan said. When they got to the game shop they helped Grandpa get Yugi into the house, then they had to go home.
"So school was okay?" Grandpa asked.
"As good as it could be," Yugi answered as Grandpa wheeled him to his room.
"Got any homework?" Yugi nodded and he left him to it. He had gotten almost used to writing with his left hand, but it was still really messy.
"I might as well do this on the computer," Yugi groaned as he crumpled up another sheet of paper.
"And there goes another tree," Yami said as he watched the paper fall into the trash bin in Yugi's room.
"Very funny," Yugi muttered as he got out another sheet of paper. At least he was good in math, biology was something he wanted to ditch, and he was afraid of the midterms that were going to happen only a few weeks after vacation.
When he finally finished his homework, throwing out about five more sheets of paper during that time period, he was able to take a nap.
"Yugi?" Grandpa asked when he walked into the room.
Yugi jerked awake and grumbled a, "What?"
"I just got a call from the doctor's, you have a checkup this weekend to see how your ribs are doing and see how much progress has come with your shoulder." Yugi nodded and went back to sleep.
***
The rest of the week was as normal as it could be for Yugi. He got to most of his classes on time; that is if Joey didn't stop to flirt with girls on the way there. By the time the weekend came Yugi was glad for it, but he didn't know what to expect when his parents came over. His doctor's appointment was the same day they were coming out, so they would probably be out by the time they got there, and frankly, Yugi really didn't care.
Andy had offered to drive them to the hospital and back, and Yugi accepted his offer with great thanks, and Grandpa said that they would find some way to repay him for it as soon as they could.
At the hospital, Dr. Kay said that Yugi's left shoulder had healed just enough to where she could remove part of the cast and he would have some use of his arm, even if the cast was still down just above his elbow. Then she discovered his knee had been slightly dislocated. It was a simple procedure, but it hurt. When it was over she gave him some painkillers, but they made his drowsy and he feel asleep on the way home.
"Yugi," Grandpa said as he gently shook his grandson awake. Yugi groaned as he woke up. Andy helped them inside and left, he had other things to do, and so did they. "I'm going to call your parents and tell them we're home," Grandpa said after he had gotten Yugi to his room.
Yugi nodded and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. The next time he woke, his mother was next to him.
"Hey," she said, "How are you doing?"
Yugi groaned and sat up awkwardly, "Sore, and drowsy." He noticed she was almost on the verge of tears, and didn't fault her for it. He wanted to go back to sleep, but he knew it wouldn't be right. "How long have you been sitting there?"
"About an hour and a half." Yugi grabbed his alarm clocked to see what time it was, and then shoved it away. "Go back to sleep, it looks like you need it." Yugi nodded and promptly did so. Anna left his room and went back to the living room.
"Did he wake up?" Mick asked.
"For a minute," Anna replied, "but he still looked so drowsy I told him to go back to sleep."
Mick nodded, and then turned to his father. "I know this is something I should be asking Yugi and not you, but do you think he could come out to our place? Just Sunday and Monday, and maybe even Tuesday, but that would all be up to him and he would be back before Christmas."
Grandpa thought for a moment. "I don't see why not, but it's for him to decide."
"I hope he says yes," Anna said. "It hasn't snowed yet, and it doesn't normally snow until three days or four days before Christmas, I think he would like to see that."
"He's never seen snow before," Grandpa said. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind going up and spending the weekend with you."
"But like you said," Mick added, "it's for him to decide."
"That it is," Grandpa replied, "but he somehow finds a way to please everyone."
"I'm not surprised," Mick said. He changed the subject to one that had been on his mind since a week ago. "What exactly happened to him?"
"I'm not too sure myself. He knows more then me, but he doesn't like to talk about it."
"I don't blame him," Anna said. "From what you told us on the phone, you said the arena he was on exploded?"
"Yep, and still don't know how he survived. What amazes me, and stumps the doctors, is how he was able to walk all the way from the school to there with the injuries he had."
"I would have to wonder too," Mick said.
"I hope he recovers enough to be at least on two feet at graduation," Anna said. "Even if he has to be on crutches."
"That won't be for a while," Grandpa said, "He still has to have his shoulder heal first and get that back to normal before he can even think about crutches."
"This is not going to be an easy year for him," Mick said. "It just had to be his senior year didn't it?"
"Oh well," Grandpa said. "He'll live through it, he has already."

Yugi slept for another hour. When he woke up he was still a little sleepy, but not enough to make him want to go back to sleep right away. He sat up and turned on the desk lamp so he could see. He looked at the clock, a quarter till six.
"Explains things," Yugi said with a yawn. The door opened and his father poked his head in.
"Hey tough guy," he said.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "If I were that tough I wouldn't be like this."
"No one is indestructible," Mick said as he opened the door and bit and walked in. "I've got a question for you."
"And that is?" Yugi asked as he sat up and stretched slightly.
"Anna and I were wondering if you would like to come up to our place and spend a few days there." Yugi stared at him. "It would only be tomorrow, Monday, and maybe Tuesday, and you'll be back here in time for Christmas."
Yugi let that sink into his head for a moment, and then shook his head so it would clear. "You want me to go up there?"
"It's up to you."
Yugi thought for a moment. It would be something different, and it would give his something to do besides sit somewhere and do nothing. He looked up, "Why not, it'll be a change from what's been going on."
Mick smiled. "Great, I'll tell Anna." He left and Yugi knew he had things to do.
Against all the yelling Yami was doing in his head, Yugi somehow got himself into his wheelchair and over to his computer. He emailed all of his friends to let them know what he was doing, and then somehow got himself back in his bed, like he had never done a thing.
I swear, Yami said, the next time you do that; I will haunt your nightmares until you wet your bed and wake up crying.
And that will do me what? Yugi asked as he relaxed.
It will teach you not to do anything stupid, Yami said. You don't want to hurt yourself again do you?
Hey none of those times were ever my fault.
Oh, and the falling out of bed events don't count? Yami asked.
Point taken, Yugi replied, blushing a little. He didn't want to move anymore. It's not that he was in pain, which he wasn't; he was just comfortable for the first time in weeks.
"Yugi," Grandpa said as he poked his head into the room, "dinner."
"No," Yugi moan, "and just when I actually got comfortable."
"Want me to bring it to you then?"
"No," Yugi replied. He hadn't let him do that, it made him feel spoiled.
"Well what are you going to do?" Grandpa asked. "I'm not going to let you use the excuse that you're too tired."
"Then I gotta get up," Yugi moaned laughing. Grandpa helped him into his wheelchair and he wheeled Yugi out.
"I can't wait until you get on crutches," Grandpa said as they arrived in the living room.
"And you think I can?" Yugi asked. Dinner was a quiet affair, and when it was done Grandpa took Yugi back to his room. "I feel like an idiot."
"Why?" Yami asked.
"Because I can't do anything except sit in this chair."
"You'll be out of it sooner than you think. And you'll wish you never got up once you start your therapy."
"I don't even want to know." Yami chuckled and vanished as the door opened and Anna stuck her head in.
"Doing okay?"
"As okay as someone with a broken body can be," Yugi replied. Anna laughed and left him alone.
