Maka's POV
"I'm so sorry Soul. This is all my fault. If I was stronger then maybe you wouldn't have gotten hurt. Please forgive me. Please wake- up." This was all I could say as I watched Soul, sleeping in the infirmary. All I could see was the huge scar that went from his shoulder to his waist.
It's the day after we fought against Crona, in Italy. I'm so worried, he still hasn't woken- up.
Why? Why'd it have to be him? I should have been the one that got hit, not him. Why him and not me?
I felt tears starting to fall down my cheeks. I let my long, red and purple hair cover my face, so if anyone came in they wouldn't see me cry. (Read my other stories. It'll make better sense if you do.)
This is all my fault.
I'm so weak.
Soul's POV
Where am I? Why does my body hurt so much?
"I'm so sorry Soul…" is that Maka? I can't see her but I can hear her. I she crying? We've been partners for a while now and the only other time I've seen her cry was the Blair incident.
Why can't I wake- up? I have to wake- up NOW! I have to make Maka feel better. I don't like seeing her cry. Wake-up!
Maka's POV
I kept on crying and crying but then I heard footsteps so I stopped and whipped the tears away.
"SOUL! SOUL!" oh no, it's Black Star. I guess he heard. Soul and Black Star have gotten closer lately. I guess it's only natural. But Black Star and I have gotten more distant from each other. I miss him. CRASH! Black Star knocked the door down and rushed to Soul's bed. "SOUL!SOUL! WAKE-UP!"
"AGGHHHHHHH! Black Star stop shaking him!" Tsubaki and I shouted at him in unison.
"No! He has to wake- up! Sou…"
"Maka Chop! Idiot! You'll make his condition worse!"
"Owwwwwww!"
Tsubaki's POV
After Black Star got Maka Chopped, I set him in the bed next to Soul's. I looked at Maka and noticed her red, puffy eyes. She had been crying. I haven't seen her cry the whole time we've known each other.
"Maka, are you ok?" I asked.
"Huh, oh yeah, I'm fine. Just really worried about Soul's condition. That's all."
"It must be hard seeing the one you love with all your heart like this, huh?" when I said this Maka started blushing.
"How'd you know, I haven't told anyone?!"
"It wasn't hard for me to see it. I see the way you look at him and you seem to get happier when he's around."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Crap! Does anyone else know besides you?"
"I don't think so."
"Good."
"Don't worry, Maka, I won't tell anyone. But why don't you just tell him?"
"'Cause I already know he doesn't like me." She said in a sad voice.
"How do you know?"
"Well for one thing he's always saying I'm a flat- chested bookworm. Then he's always saying that I have anger issues, which I guess is kinda true."
"But those things aren't true. Well maybe the part about you being a bookworm is sorta true, but still."
"Thanks, Tsubaki but just 'cause you thing that doesn't mean he does. And besides I already have a…"
"Look, Black Star's awake, Maka!"
Black Star's POV
"Oh, hi Black Star are you feeling ok? Sorry I hit you with my book." Maka said while I was waking- up.
"Huh, oh, yeah I'm fine."
"You sure, you're kinda quiet right now, it's weird."
"Oh, I mean… OF COURSE, A GOD LIKE ME CAN'T BE HURT BY A MORTAL AND THEIR BOOK! HA HA HA YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Yup he's fine, Tsubaki you can take him home now."
"Ok we'll be on our way. Bye Maka, tell Soul when he wakes- up that we said hi."
"Alright, I will bye."
So Maka likes Soul. I shoulda confessed a long time ago but I just get so confused around her. Now it's too late. I wish I was actually knocked out when she said that, now I feel like I got studded in the heart. I wonder what it was that she was going to say before Tsubaki noticed I was awake?
"Hey Black Star, are you ok you seem hurt."
"Oh yeah I'm fine, Tsubaki."
Soul's POV
I can't believe it! Maka likes me back! This is amazing; I feel so good right now. I wish I hadn't said those things to her. Now she's afraid to confess. I'll have to confess. I know, I'll confess the day I wake- up! This is amazing but I wonder what she was about to say before Black Star woke up?
