A girl lay on a hospital bed. With an IV stuck in her arm, bandages covering her eyes, and depressed friends all around it made the scene bad as it was. My chaotic hurricane of an entrance was not expected. Or wanted, really.

"How is she?" I blurted, rushing foreward. Before I got there, that idiotic loudmouth and his stoner friend grabbed my arms and held me back.

"Haven't you done enough?!" Karkat shouted, "We don't know what's going to happen to her, the doctors don't know what's going to happen to her, and best case scenario? She ends up blind!"

"Karkat, please calm down." Kanaya said evenly. She walked over and stood in front of me, looking dissapointed. "Why are you here, Vriska?"

"Because Terezi's my friend! You can't keep me from checking on her!"

An uneasy silence fell over the room. Kanaya nodded and I was released. I slowly made my way to the bed, so-called 'friends' parting to let me through.

I felt like an outcast. Even Kanaya, who had been my friend through just about everything, even though I'd done horrible things before...abandoned me...

After a while everyone had left except Gamzee and I.

"I never thought you'd stoop this low, motherfucker." he said when he was finally leaving. Before I could say the words I didn't have, he had closed the door.

"Terezi..." I whispered, "I am so sorry. I am so, so, so, so sorry..." Something wet dripped off my chin. I touched my cheek and found tears streaming down it. For awhile I could only sit there and cry.

"V...Vriska..." I looked up in shock. "Vriska...that is you, right?"

"Yes. Terezi are you-" I was cut off by her giggling. I couldn't understand. Here I was crying my eyes out, worried about her and she's GIGGLING?

"What the fuck are you laughing at?!"

"Ehehehe...hey Vriska..."

"What?"

"I enjoyed these moments of your suffering." she whispered as her heart-rate monitor showed that her heart had stopped. She was dead. The girl who was practically a sister to me was gone. I was in shock. For the longest time I didn't even consciously think about anything. At her funeral, I was the only one not crying at all. The only person who talked to me was Kanaya. Se told me that everyone 'needed a break from me' and he wanted to share the news so I didn't freak out. I just nodded. Nothing could freak me out now. There was no one left to freak out.

And there will never be.

I'll see you soon, Pyrope.
