Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Gabriel ❯ Chapter ten ( Chapter 10 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
I really have no idea if people really like this fic or not. But I don't really care that much about any of that. I'm doing this because I like this story and I know a few people who like it as well. I would be really happy if some people were to review, but I won't let that determine if I'm going to post the next chapter. I'll do that when I write it out and have time to type it.
Chapter ten
I didn't go to school the next day. I thought that maybe I would feel better after getting some sleep, but I still feel like crap.
Why does this happen to me all the time? I think everything in my life is going great and then something has to happen to mess it all up.
I was happy with Nick and my parents make me move in with my Aunt, I still missed Nick, but I was ok and he e-mails me to tell me that we are breaking up. I start going out with Seto and for once it really seems like I'm going to be happy, and my Aunt gets in a car accident.
It's not her fault. She didn't say, “Gee I think I'd like to get into a car crash today.” I don't blame anyone but my bad luck.
Later in the afternoon I heard knocking at the front door and pulled myself out of bed to see who it is.
I open the door to reveal Seto standing there shacking off an umbrella.
I hadn't even noticed that it was raining outside.
“How are you feeling Angel? I missed you at school.”
“To tell you the truth Dragon. I feel like shit. Come in; don't stand out there in the rain.”
He walks in and I turn around to close the door. As soon as the door is closed I feel his arms around me. “I never noticed how lonely school was until you weren't there.”
I put my arms over his and start to silently cry. I didn't even realize I was crying again until I felt a tear fall on my hand.
I bring my hands to my face and hastily whip away the tears so that Seto doesn't see them.
I feel weak right now and as stupid as it sounds I think that Seto will also think me weak.
He turns me around and looks at me. I look away as I feel more tears slide down my face.
“Angel. Look at me. Please, everything will be fine. Do you want to go back to the hospital?”
I still don't look at him but shake my head no.
I don't think I could take it right now.
Seto puts his hands on my cheeks and kisses my tears away.
I look up at him and kiss him on the lips chastely. “How did I get so lucky? I mean really. I feel so blessed to have you in my life. If you weren't here to tell me everything is going to be alright I would have cracked. You have no idea how much I love my Aunt. Well maybe you do. But still-“
“Don't worry about it baby. I know what you're trying to say. Come over here, sit down with me. Try and relax.” He leads me to the couch and pulls me onto his lap.
I sigh and just cuddle with him.
Sometime later I feel ready to go see my Aunt so I pick my head up from Seto's chest and say, “Dragon, can you take me to see my Aunt? I want to see here again.”
“Alright Angel. You know that I love you right?”
“I know Dragon. I love you as well.”
We get up from the couch and I start to walk to the door when Seto says, “Gabriel, don't you think you should at least brush your hair and put on some shoes?”
I look down at myself and start to laugh, “I didn't realize that I never changed from yesterday. I'll only be a minute. Just let me put on some clean clothes and pull my hair back.”
“I'll wait down here, unless you want me to come up and help you.”
I blush real hard and mutter, “That's ok I can handle it.” before running up the stairs.
I can hear Seto laughing after me. I have to smile at that. He has a beautiful laugh.
I quickly put on a clean pair of jeans and a tee-shirt then I pull my hair back in a pony tail.
I don't take my time like I usually do because I want to see my Aunt.
I go back downstairs and me and Seto leave.
I'm silent the whole ride and I think Seto just wants to let me talk to him if I want. So he doesn't push me to hard.
We go in and I walk to my Aunt's room my hand incased in Seto's warm one.
There are still no changes in her condition so we sit in the chair until visiting hours are over again.
“Will you come home with me tonight Angel?”
“No Dragon. This time I really will be fine. I was just in shock yesterday and earlier today.”
“Alright. Let's go.”
We leave and get back into his hummer.
I really am lucky to have him. I know I would have cracked if I had to go through this alone.
I feel the hummer stop and look up. When I do I'm met with the sight of Seto's home.
“Seto, why are we here?”
“Because I'm worried about you Angel. I know you said you would be fine, but you said that yesterday and you weren't.”
I lower my head and say, “Ok Dragon. I just didn't want to trouble you anymore then I had to.”
“You could never be any trouble to me. Come on now. Let's go inside.”
I shake my head and we get out and go inside.
Once the door closes I hear Mokuba running to us.
He hugs Seto and then me before saying, “Hi Big Brother, hi Gabriel!”
“Hello Mokuba, is your homework done?”
“Yep! Gabriel, I heard about your Aunt. I'm sorry; she's nice, is she going to be ok?”
“Yeah, I think she will be fine. The doctors say that once she comes out of her coma there should be no reason why she wouldn't be able to come home.”
“Do they have any idea when that might be?”
“No, it could be days, weeks, months, or even years. They are still not completely sure what causes comas in the first place.” I feel about ready to cry again and hug Seto.
He puts one arm around my waist and uses the other hand to massage my neck.
“Mokuba, why don't you go upstairs for a little while? Maybe later we can watch a movie.”
“Is Gabriel still going to be here?”
“Yeah, he's going to be staying with us until his Aunt is out of the hospital.”
“Alright! We can do lots of stuff together then.”
“We'll see Mokuba. It's up to Gabriel if he feels up to it.”
“I'll see you later then.”
I hear him running up the stairs and Seto leads me into the kitchen.
I'm reminded that I have not eaten since yesterday by the low growl that comes from my stomach.
I sit down on a stool and Seto gets out the makings for cheese burgers.
“Are you hungry Angel?”
“Yeah.”
“Let me make some burgers for us. Then we can watch a movie or something.”
“Alright. Burgers sound real good right about now.”
He makes up the cheese burgers and we eat, then he goes upstairs and gets Mokuba so that we can watch something.
I curl up with Seto on the couch and Mokuba sits in one of the chairs.
I don't remember what movie we were watching because I felt really safe and warm in Seto's arms that I fell asleep.
