Chapter 2...

Touya woke up in a room. He looked around. He was at the hospital. He looked around himself. Damn, he did suffer burns from being in Cheren's house. Wait...Cheren...Speaking of Cheren, where is he?

Touya tried to get up but felt his head hurt. "Oww..." He muttered in pain. He then looked at the burns. He suffered from second-degree burns. Suddenly, a doctor came in and Touya slowly sat up. "Doctor, is everything okay?" Touya asked to the doctor. "I'm afraid not, Touya." The doctor replied. Touya felt worried. "You suffered second-degree burns from that fire at your friend's house." The doctor explained. Touya felt worried. "What about Cheren? What about him?" Touya asked to him. The doctor stood there silent for a few moments and then shook his head. "He didn't make it. He suffered third-degree burns." The doctor replied. Touya felt everything around him fall.

His heart sank. Touya felt tears in his eyes. Touya then began to cry, loudly. "N-no! This can't be happening!" Touya yelled and continued crying his eyes out.

3 days later...

Touya was released from the hospital. However, he didn't want to talk to anyone. Since he was the champion, people would walk up to him and snap pictures of him. He didn't mind them. But at the state he was in, he would cover his face with his hands and pull his hat down to show that he wasn't in the mood for pictures.

He reached to Nuvema Town and entered his house. His mom wasn't home because she went grocery shopping. He walked to his room very gloomy.  He entered his room and got in the bed covers. He suddenly remembered what happened to Cheren. Especially how he died and where he died. His vision began to get blurry as tears began to grow in his eyes. He then began to cry to himself. "Cheren...Oh, Cheren...if only I told you how I felt about you..." Touya said while crying. "I...I love you..."

Touya covered his face with his pillow and sobbed.

"Why did this had to happen...?" He said while crying.
