Prompt: Reader rescues John from getting hit by a car in turn putting her in coma.

First x Reader fanfic so please be nice.

*RING!*

You groaned as you cracked your eyes open slightly, the light and noise of the outside having disturbed your rest. You must have fallen asleep again. What a shame, you were having a really nice dream too. You wait till the bell had finally silenced before sighing, releasing a huff of breath you didn't know you were holding, as you stand groggily from your seat next to the class room door, still rubbing the sleep from your eyes as you step aside slightly to let the hoard of exhausted teenagers past on their way out of class.

Giving off a tired yawn you reach for you bag from it's position on the back of your chair, your back popping loudly in tension releasing cracks. You straighten yourself with a pleased grin, your (f/c) book bag resting snugly against your back.

" Finally! I thought this school day would never end!" You say with a light laugh before turning and heading for the door.

The halls were still crowded, teens of both troll and human origin talking eagerly about their plans for the weekend while moving ever so slowly toward the exit. Your smile widened at the unspoken challenge that the packed hall presented. With as much grace as your human body would allow you wormed your way through the maze of people, getting the occasional glare from trolls and humans you bumped along the way.

When you had finally managed to force your way out of the building, your breathing slightly ragged, the parking lot had already begun filling out, teachers and students alike eager to leave. But instead of moving with the rest of your fellow classmates you remained by the school's entrance, waving every so often to people you knew as they passed.

The sun had barley reached it's mid day approach, the thin cloud coverage doing little to protect you from it's searing heat. Not that you minded, you enjoyed the way the warmth lapped at you face, warming your entire body with it's golden rays. It's a much needed break from the cold front that seemed to linger in the city for the past few days. It was the beginning of March and therefore Spring, luckily one of you more favorite seasons.

But you had to admit it was getting kinda hot.

Stepping into the shade the towering building provided you wiggled your way out of your (f/c) jacket securely tying the piece of clothing around your waist. The only reason you wore the blasted thing was because you thought it'd be chilly today. Good thing you decided to wear your yellow tank top today. And with your grey skinny jeans adorning your waist you couldn't help but think you looked like a female version of Ellie from Left 4 Dead.

"[NAME]!"

You had no time to react when a sudden weight wormed it's way around your shoulders, the extra weight effectively knocking you down onto the school's stairs. You looked down into bright green eyes hidden behind think rimmed circle glasses as the owner of such unique irises smiled a big dorky grin that practically shouted happiness,

"[Name]! It's been forever since we saw you!"

You laughed, returning the bone crushing embrace before ruffling the girl's hair with a wide grin,

"Jade! I saw you not even an hour ago! We have like, half of our classes together!"

Said girl giggled at the affection she was receiving from her friend before answering in a child like voice. " I know but I really miss you, you know! Class gets really boring when you're not there to make stupid puns about the teacher."

You gasped in fake hurt before raising your hand to your forehead as you pretended to faint, " B-but Jadey! I thought you liked my puns? I'm hurt Jadey, I really am. In fact I don't think we can be friends anymore!"

" Oh shut it you!"

Jade said between fits of giggles as she stuffed your jacket sleeve in your face, muffling your own laughter. Your little nerd wrestling was cut short as two other teens rounded the school corner, casually walking toward them, much unlike your ebony haired friend. You waved them over from your defeated position underneath Jade.

" Dave, Rose! We're over here! I may need a little help though! I believe I've been captured by this ferocious werewolf!"

As if to prove your statement Jade gave what she believed to be a lethal growl. You yell in mock terror the action resulting Jade to double over laughing. Gently you push the giggling girl off of you before lifting yourself up on your elbows to smile up at your blonde friends, who were hovering above you having watched the entire scene, with their own smiles present.

Dave inclined himself slightly, the railing behind him keeping him balanced, hands stuffed into his front pants pockets and back pack slung lazily over his shoulder. His shades ever present on his face. Though his face remained neutral with only a hint of a smirk as he raised his hand in a simple greeting,

"Yo [Name], how's it going?"

Rose, much unlike her ever so chill cousin, stood up straight, her shoulders squared back and arms hugging her books close to her chest. Why she didn't just get a book bag you'd never know. A gentle smile stretched over her black lips as she too, greeted me.

" Hello [Name]. So I assumed you managed to get out of the school unharmed this time?"

You couldn't help but grimace at the memory before laughing shyly, your hand rubbing the back of your neck awkwardly,

" Hehe, yeah. I do NOT want to live through that again."

Dave chuckled under his breath, his mouth quirking up into what you assumed to be a teasing smirk, " I remember that. It took you what? A week to get all those shoe prints out of your clothes? That and a shit ton of detergent. Not to mention all those shoes shaped bruises you had for like over a month."

You started to laugh silently, reminiscing over all the money you had to spend for laundry soap, when Dave continued,

" And let's not forget how Egbert went bat shit crazy just to make sure you were okay. You should have seen his face when he saw all those bruises. He looked as if he might have passed out right then and there. I'm surprised he didn't pull a Snow White smooching move on you just to make you feel better."

You could feel your face heating up, your embarrassment getting the best of you, " Dave you dick!" You shout as you began punching his arm lightly, joining in their merriment.

" Okay, okay! I give! I give!" Dave said between punches, his hands raising in mock surrender. You smirk at your victory, a blush still lightly dusting your cheeks.

Suddenly it occurred to you that the boy in question was no where to be found among their little group. " Hey where's John?" You direct your question toward Jade, seeing how she had John last period. Jade simply shrugged,

" Sorry [Name] but, I haven't seen him since he ran off to grab something from his locker."

You nod in response, your smile hiding the worry that occupied your mind. You shook it off though, he was only at his locker. He'd be fine.

A light beeping sound snapped from your thoughts, your arm already coming up to meet your eyes. Your watch beeped a few more times before going silent once again signalling it was now four o' clock. Wow time sure does fly when you're with friends. Your mom was going to kill you.

" Guys, we gotta get going or we'll never get back home in time." You gulped, not wanting to face you guardian's worried furry. Dave, Rose and Jade had similar looks. " Well then, I believe we must be on our way. It is a long walk seeing how none of use own vehicles." Rose said turning around to leave. She had a point but that uncertain feeling still gnawed at your insides.

" What about John?" Jade's worried voice asked what had been on both your minds. Dave was the one that answered, " Egderp we'll be fine. He's a big boy. Besides I'm sure he'll catch up with us in no time. Shit he may already be ahead of us. For a nerd he sure can run."

Your mind eased slightly at Dave's words but it was getting hard to ignore the aching feeling in your stomach.

You and the gang had begun walking a few minutes later, cars, buildings and people passing you by as you made your way down town. John was still no where to be found.

You continued to laugh and joke with the others, even participate in one of Dave's 'sick' raps, whenever your attention was needed but every time they began talking among themselves your (e/c) eyes wandered the streets in search of that flash of blue and dorky grin which you've grown to adore.

Rose being the more insightful of the five noticed your distress and decided to comment on it, " [Name]? Are you all right? You seem concerned."

The question had drawn the attention of your two other companions causing them to look toward you, effectively stopping your entire group. You looked away from their questioning stares opting instead to look at the dirt that occupied your shoes. Man were they fascinating. Your hand began to absent rub at your other arm, another nervous habit.

" It's nothing Rose, really. Just wondering what's taking John so long." You say, your back turned to them so they couldn't see the blush that dusted your cheeks. Of course it was all a failed attempt, Rose saw right through it.

" Is that so?..." You notice the accusing tone in her voice immediately. You knew where this was going, having been in the exact same position before. It was interrogation time.

" Or is it the linger feelings you have for our friend that has caused you to worry so?"

Oh she was good. No wonder she wanted to be a therapist. But even so you denied it, the ever growing blush becoming more prominent. Damn your stubborn nature.

" No that's not it at all! He's my friend and it's only natural I worry for his safety."

You mentally wipe the sweat from your brow, One question down. That wasn't so bad. But the lavender eyed goth had yet to finish with her interrogation. Terezi sure would get a kick out of this.

" Is that all it is? Friendly concern?" The flower named girl asked, her voice taking on a questioning tone. Your brow raises in confusion. Just where was she going with this? " Yes that's it." You repeat a hint of suspicion lining your voice. You were surprised when her face turned upward in a satisfied grin. To be honest you were kinda freaked out.

" What? What are you looking at?" You ask slowly inching away.

" You're lying."

It wasn't the fact that she had said it that surprised you, it was the fact that she sounded so confident with saying it. As if she knew she was right. But still your stubborn head refused to accept it.

" W-what do you mean?"

Rose's intimidating act turned soft along with her eyes, giving her a more sister like feel. Well you already considered her one anyway but that was besides the point.

" You harbor feelings for him, don't you. I can see it in your eyes."

You continued to stare blankly at her, your mind slowing down to try and process what she had said. Sure Rose had a complicated vocabulary but you knew when someone was accusing you of being in love. But with him. John Egbert, Skaia High's most notorious prankster and biggest most adorable nerd not to mention captain of the track team? Sure you might have had a small crush on him since you were kids but that didn't mean you loved him.

Sure you loved things about him like his spiky black hair that seemed to bounce back into place perfectly no matter how many times you playfully ruffled it or his striking oceanic blue eyes that always managed to make your knees go weak, hell you even found his buck teeth attractive and can't remember how many times you drifted into a day dream about how it would feel like to have those smiling lips on your own- Okay so maybe you had a little bit more then a crush on the boy but that didn't mean anything.

Did it? No, no it didn't.

Yeah you've been friends with the buck tooth cutie since you were kids, having moved next door to him at the age of five, you can't remember a time when you weren't hanging out and having fun. Pulling goofy pranks, laughing, telling stupid jokes and generally being the kids you knew you were at heart.

And you have to admit if it weren't for him and his tendency to be an amazing friend and human being you'd still be playing video games locked in your room instead of hanging out with such loyal friends. But that was it, that's where the relationship stopped. Just friends. Sure you'd love to be more than that but he probably still thought of you as his best friend and neighbor and you refused to mess with that. If keeping John as a best friend meant hiding your feelings then so be it, even if it hurt sometimes.

Okay so maybe it hurt all the time.

And you were content with that. Yep, no problem here. No sirree!... Is this what is feels like to be in denial?

As if to answer your question, Dave piped up from behind Rose, " I think she may be in denial. God the irony is priceless! What with John lik- mmph!" Jade clamped a hand over his mouth to prevent him from saying anything further. She gave him a harsh look before removing her hand and speaking, this time to you,

" He does have a point [Name]. It's obvious you like him. Everyone can see it."

You feel your entire body tense as her words wrapped their way around your head. If it was that obvious then did that mean John knew too? If so why didn't he say anything? Surely he isn't that dense. Your heart dropped as you came to a conclusion, Unless he doesn't like you that way and wanted to spare you feelings.

Your heart seemed to have sank to your toes by that point but, there was that small sliver of hope that said you were just over reacting, that he was that oblivious. And it was thanks to that small bit of hope that you were able to straighten your shoulders and turn to meet their eyes once more, smiling a soft, almost broken smile.

" John thinks of me as just a friend okay? And I'm fine with that as long as I can keep being by his side. Now can we please just head home? I don't want to get into even more trouble with my mom."

You give a silent laugh as you turned to walk away, hoping to glob they believed you. They didn't, anyone could have seen through your act. Jade was the first to react, her hand slowly reacting for your shoulder,

" [Nam-[NAME]!"

An all to familiar voice stopped the green eyed girl causing all of you to turn to the owner of the voice. Your grin almost split your face as you recognized who was running down the street toward you.

John's breathing was sharp and short, his body looking drained and tired as if he had been running for awhile. His ebony colored hair looked even more disheveled, if that was even possible, as it fought against the on coming wind. His sky like eyes reflected relief, probably for having caught up to his friends in time. But what you found even more curious was the small rectangle box he held in his hands as he ran.

You raised your eyes up to meet his as he called over to you, his other hand waving at you, " Hey [Name]! Guys wait up!"

Your grin grew as you raised your hand to wave back, " Hey Johnny! Took ya-!" You pause, your hand dropping ever so slightly as you stared at the scene in complete and utter horror. John continued to run towards you, a large dorky smile adorning his face and his attention no where but his friends who were currently on the other side of the street.

He didn't see the red sports car that was driving straight toward him, the driver a young looking man in a expensive looking suit, to busy on his phone to notice where he was going. You may not have been the smartest person in the world but you knew, by the way he slowed down, exhaustion finally creeping up on him, that John wouldn't be able to dodge it.

Rose was the most insightful of the five but your feet had already begun propelling you forward, your bag slipping from your shoulders and onto the ground with a loud clang before she even noticed what was happening.

You ignored the desperate pleas from your friends, their voices mute to your ears as you struggled to push your feet to go faster. All that mattered was that you got to him. You had to get to him.

You had to...

John seemed confused as to why you had begun sprinting towards him, seeming just to race for his open arms, not that he minded but what really got him worried and mind reeling were the tears streaming from your (e/c) eyes. You never cried, never showed any weakness that worried your loved ones, you hated to make them worry.

And then it all clicked. The street. The yelling. The honking. Her.

Everything seemed to slow to a near halt as your hands made contact with his chest, pushing as hard as you could to get him to move. He did. Falling onto his back, safely on the concrete sidewalk John watched with horror stricken eyes.

You both knew you couldn't get away in time.

Click.

Time sped up as you were slammed against the metal hood and thrown several feet away. You landed with as much grace as a rag doll, your back making contact with the hot pavement first before the extra momentum carried you a little ways. At first you felt nothing, the pain seeming to disappear completely, then it all came rushing back, crashing against you much like the car had.

Your back lifted off the pavement as white hot pain surged through your body, your throat ripping into a horrid shriek. Your throat soon became raw as you screamed, the mere force shredding at your vocal cords.

And then the world began to blur, the colors and sounds of panicked people dripping together. The last thing you say was John's shaking form rushing toward your fallen body, his eyes ocean like eyes swimming with un known emotions, your friends not to far behind.

Then everything went black...
