Soul sat there waiting for Maka in the Deathbucks. She said there was something important she wanted to tell him. When Maka came in she was holding hands with Hiro. That was a devastating blow to him but he wasn't sure why. It just made him angry and I just made him angrier that he was confused. When Maka and Hiro sat down they were still holding hands. Maka looked at Hiro and then at me.
"What's up Maka, I have rehearsal"
"Do you want to tell him?" Maka then asked Hiro.
"Ok… Me and Maka are…. How should I put this… a couple now."
For some reason Soul just wanted to jump across the table and take his muscular pianists fingers and wrap them around Hiro's skinny little throat. But Soul played nice…For now.
"That's what you wanted to tell me that was just so important it couldn't wait until rehearsal was over…So uncool Maka."
"Sorry I was just excited, if you want we can give you a lift to Kidd's Garage."
"No its fine I have my bike."
"Well don't come home to late."
"I'll try but you know how long our rehearsals can go on, with Black Star making everything a drum solo, It can be hard."
"I bet well see you later."
"Bye"
…
When Soul arrived at Kidd's garage it was already a quarter to 8:00. Soul could hear Black Star whaling away at the drum set and Kidd trying to get him to stop. He walked up to the door he was greeted by Liz. He saw Patty building Legos™ in the living room. Liz asked him if he wanted anything to drink but he said no. When he walked in he saw the look of gratitude of Kidd's face as he was still trying to stop Black Star from his loud drumming. When Black Star saw Soul he immediately stopped and yelled his name. He ran over and started asking questions like a maniac.
"SOUL! WHERE WERE YOU?! WHAT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WATCHING BLACK STARS BIG PEFORMANCE?!"
"It was noting worth my time."
"What happened Soul" Kidd asked curiously.
"Maka just wanted to introduce me to her new boyfriend. I'm not sure why but it just made me so mad when I saw Maka holding his hand."
"Maybe it's because you love her."
"I don't love her Kidd and stop insisting it. Face it your little SoMa romance will never happen now can we just practice and stop talking about this."
…
By now it was midnight and Soul just wanted to go home so bad and go to bed. Soul said goodbye to all his friends and walked out the door. He started his motorcycle and rode off into the night. Soul just couldn't help but nod off a little it was midnight. So Soul closed his eyes just for a second when the next thing he knew he was in an ambulance.
…
The next morning Soul awaked to find Maka in the bed front hugging Hiro. Soul just wanted to kill the guy but he didn't. He tried to get up but something in his chest stung and he then winced in pain. Just so happening to catch Maka's attention. Maka immediately jumped to his side.
"Soul, are you ok. I told you not to stay out so late but what did you do you didn't listen to me."
"I'm fine Maka and I don't need you badgering about it just tell me what happened."
"You seriously don't remember."
"Yeah and if you don't mind I'm talking to you not him."
Hiro left the room to leave them to talk in private.
"Did you really have to do that Soul we just started dating."
"Yeah I did that guy gives me goosebumps, it's like he's just asking for an ass whipping."
"Soul don't say that he's really a nice guy you should get to know him sometime."
"Yeah Yeah whatever, can you just tell me what happened so I can get out of here."
"Ok… Soul do you remember what time you left Kidd's house last night?"
"Actually no I don't. I don't remember anything from last night except me leaving Deathbucks."
"Soul, Kidd said you left at midnight. You crashed at 12:30 the guy who hit you said that you were gutted like a fish. He called you in and asked me to ask you if you wouldn't press charges."
"Don't worry I'm way too cool to press charges on him. But really I crashed."
"Yeah they wanted me to ask you some questions about last night and see if you needed a MRI."
"Hey I don't need any MR whatever I'm in perfect health."
Just then Soul stood up to fast for even Maka to stop and… He reopened his stitches. Next thing he knows he's gushing on the floor while nurses and doctors came rushing in to reoperate on him.
…
Soul wakes up in a hospital bed again with Maka standing over him but she was crying this time and Hiro wasn't here. Then he realized that she was holding his hand. He didn't know what was happening but he just wanted to jump up and kiss her right then and there. But he didn't. He didn't do anything she just continued to sob and sob until Soul got up enough courage and energy to rub his thumb over her knuckles. She instantly stopped crying and put up a fake smile but she knew that Soul could she right though her big red rimmed emerald eyes.
"Maka… Why are you crying?" Soul said still rubbing his thumb over her knuckles.
"It's nothing Soul just forget about it."
"Maka please tell me."
"You're going to think that it's a dumb reason"
"Maka I can't promise you anything."
Maka laughed at that last part.
"Ok… when you were on the floor earlier… bleeding… I thought I was going to lose you and I didn't know what to do without you Soul…You're… You're my best friend."
"Your my best friend to Maka and don't worry I'm too cool to die."
Maka didn't want to admit it but she was going to say that she loves him but she didn't want to make
…
~TIME SKIP~ Two Months Later~
Soul just got out of the shower when he looked at his scar across his chest. He put his hand on it and remembered all the pain it had caused him. When there was a knock on the door. He quickly pulled up his sweat pants and opened the door. Maka was standing there in tears. Soul suddenly dropped everything and went over to Maka.
"What's up Maka?"
"Hiro…. He.. He-"
"He did what Maka I swear ill kill him."
"He cheated on me with Kim."
"WHAT GIVE ME THIS GUYS ADDRESS!"
"No Soul."
"Maka just let me kill this guy for you or at least let me beat him to a bloody pulp."
"Soul I don't need him dead. I need my roommate I.. I.. I need my Best Friend."
Soul's heart dropped when he herd those words but he didn't know why. So again he just ignored it.
"Of course Maka."
Then he realized that first he was holding her second that he wasn't wearing a shirt. He noticed as Maka's eyes went to his very well sculpted chest.
"Soul can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Maka."
"Does it still hurt? Your scar I mean."
"Yea sometimes, it feels like im being gutted again but the pain goes away eventually."
"Im sorry that you were every hurt that badly."
"It's fine Maka. It's not like it was your fault or anything."
"I know but I just feel so sorry that you got hurt."
"Again it wasn't anyone's fault but my own. I remembered a little from that night and I was the one who closed my eyes, I... I started drifting and then waking up in the ambulance. I remember the dream I had when I fell back asleep for the second time, I remember almost all of that night. That dark and fateful night."
"What was your dream?"
Soul didn't want to say but he didn't want to say no to Maka about this so he thought of a little white lie that wouldn't go anywhere.
"I was sitting on the couch and I was eating chips and that was it nothing else."
"Soul, I know you're lying because you get this look in your eyes when you do. Now tell me the real dream."
"Maka it really doesn't matter about it. It's just nothing important to share."
"Soul… Ok you win I won't bother you about it anymore ok."
"Thanks Maka"
Soul then retreated to his room. He flopped on the bed and thought about the dream he had.
"Do you love her Soul?" said the Little Demon.
"I don't know."
"Let's find out if you do or not."
Just the demon pulled a rope which dropped to open a glass case. In that case was Maka she was unconscious and the case was flooding with water. Soul ran to the case and saved her.
"Soul…"
"Maka are you ok-"
Just then Maka pulled into Soul's lips. She kissed him passionately until she pulled away. Soul just touched his lips and stared into her emerald eyes which stared back passionately.
"Maka…"
"Now im the one doing the saving."
"What do you mean?"
Just then Maka pushed him out of the way. Maka was crushed by a grand piano which fell from the ceiling.
"MAKA!"
"It's too late to save her she's already dead."
That was the dream. Soul realized that he maybe just maybe had feelings for Maka but even if he did he can never show them because what if Maka didn't feel the same way that could be awkward. So Soul decided to just leave them behind.
…
The next morning Soul awoke to the smell of breakfast. He quickly ran out the door not even bothering to get rid of his bed head. When Soul looked in the kitchen he saw Maka cooking bacon on the oven. Soul secretly thought to his self that Maka looked really cute in that apron. But once Soul realized what he was thinking he shook his head to get those thoughts out of this head. Maka turned around when she heard him.
"Good morning Soul."
"Yea good morning."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing just didn't sleep well last night."
The truth is that Soul only got like 2 hours of sleep last night because he kept thinking about his dream.
"Well there's nothing a good breakfast can't fix."
"Yeah, let's hope."
…
Soul just got to Kidd's house when his phone vibrated. He opened it to find that it was a text from Black Star.
"Hey come down to the warehouse (the warehouse is a really popular club in Death City) instead of going to Kidd's place. We got a gig here. YAHOO!"
"On my way."
Soul was blown away that we could even get a gig like that with all the bands problems. But he didn't doubt that they had a lot of potential. So he decided to text Maka and tell her to come.
…
Soul arrived at the Warehouse and he saw Kidd and Black Star talking to Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and Maka. The gang was all here. Soul walked over to them and joined in. 15 minutes later Kidd, Black Star and Soul all walked back stage as their set* was in 5 minutes.
"Soul, is something wrong?" Kidd suddenly asked.
"No. I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You just seem distant."
"Yea I'm sure."
"Well okay then."
They all walked on stage for the set.
Kidd went over to the mic and the music started.
The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake
And I can't control it
Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!
[Chorus]
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel like a monster
My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up
And break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel like a monster
It's hiding in the dark
It's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul,
It wants my heart
No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!
[Chorus]
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I'm gonna lose control
Here's something radical
I must confess that I
Feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster [x4]
When the song ended and the crowd was wanting an encore but they denied it. Soul walked over to his bike and drove home.
