If You Still Believe
--
Chapter VI
--
Ryou’s Point of View
-
It’s the
first time I’ve cried in a long time.
But then
again, I haven’t had my heart shattered into a million pieces before.
I was riding
my bike in the pouring rain, both the tears from my eyes and the liquid water spilling
from the sky blurring my vision.
It’s a
miracle I made it home without killing myself. Maybe it was sheer luck that I
was still alive, or maybe the gods had a crueler fate planned for me.
I slammed
the door behind me as I entered the house, and slid the lock into place. I
blindly made my way to my bedroom and threw myself into my bed.
Why does
this have to happen to me?
I
picked myself up from the mattress and caught glimpse of a key chain containing
a picture of Yugi and me. We were sitting together on a roller coaster ride at Kaiba
Land. I had never gone on a roller coaster until that day. Yugi had helped me
get over my fear of riding them.
I held the key
chain tightly in my grip. I squeezed my eyes shut, allowing the tears to fall
freely.
Why does Yugi
have such a perfect life?
I threw the key
chain across the room, causing it to shatter upon impact with the wall.
“DAMN IT!!”
I shouted.
It’s all
Yugi’s fault!! Why does he always have to meddle in affairs that don’t concern
him?
And why
did Isis have to get my hopes up? Why did she tell me that she loved me when in
actuality she loved someone else?
I dropped
back into my bed and closed my eyes, slumber conquering me.

Yugi’s Point of View
-
I just don’t
understand it. What made Ryou want to go out and meet these people he met
online? What made him decide to talk to people he didn’t know online in
the first place?
The
following Monday after Ryou’s encounter with his stupid Internet friends was
different than I’d expected. Ryou seemed a bit…down. He was clearly upset about
something. After some prodding, he finally explained to me that he was in love
with Isis, who was also in love with him, except she also loved somebody else,
and chose that other person over him. I didn’t know what to say, though; I don’t
believe kids can fall in love at this age. Only adults could do that. At least
that’s what my grandpa told me.
Well, I hope
that Ryou stops moping around like he has. It’s been bringing everyone
down lately.

Isis’ Point of View
-
Oh, gods,
what have I done?
Ryou hasn’t
spoken to me online in days…and he won’t answer my phone calls. I’ve
even tried to get Marik to talk to him, but I think Ryou’s been blocking both
of online.
I shouldn’t
have told him about Stefano.
I hope Ryou
doesn’t stay mad at me. He’s a really nice friend to have, and I’d hate losing
him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author’s Notes: It’s true. I really did help my
former friend overcome her fear of roller coaster type rides (at least some of
the not-so-crazy ones). At first she wouldn’t even go on the ones that were the
least scary, but I was able to convince her to try them. Anyway, that was why I
had the tidbit on that.
The chapters occurring in seventh grade show a Yugi who
doesn’t believe in any online interaction at all, unless it is with people a
person knows in real life. Also…notice Yugi is somewhat brainwashed by his
grandfather in seventh grade…
I know some of my friends have told me (wrongfully) that I
have the perfect life, the perfect grades, and whatnot, and it pisses me off to
no conceivable end. Excuse my language. It’s their way of giving up because
they think they’ll never compare to me or someone like me. And it drives me
nuts, because every day, I feel like I’m trying to prove to everyone that I’m not
perfect. But I think this whole scenario is one of the roots of the overall
problem. And the fact that my friends would like to spite me simply because I
fight for what I believe in and I usually turn out right in the end. Like in
this situation.

Details: (Princess of Mirrors) Hm. You bring up a
good point. It’s hard to be descriptive in the first person sometimes, especially
when the character is naturally unobservant when it comes to his or her
physical surroundings. I think you’ll notice that Yugi’s point of view tends to
be more descriptive than Ryou’s, and Ryou’s more descriptive than Isis’. I read
over last chapter and was like, ‘ewwww!’ because I thought it sounded bad. I
need to go back and rewrite some of it…I actually did add some details were I
could think of, so I hope that improves it at least slightly. I’m really
grateful for your input, because I was a bit stuck at first.
