I was broken I was choking I was lost, This Song saved my life. I was bleeding, stopped believing Could've died This song saved my life.
(THIS SONG SAVED MY LIFE #tssml) Simple Plan
"Maka?" His voice is deep
"Yeah Soul?"
"I wanna ask you something but if you don't feel comfortable answering..."
"What is it Soul?" She huffs
They'd been partners for at least a year and a half now. They were close and already knew a lot about each other.
"The scars on your wrists and thighs... How did you get them?" He had a sinking feeling his previous deduction on them was correct but he needed to be sure.
She sighs, placing her book on their coffee table before turning to face him.
"I was eleven when my parents split. I was angry. I was angry that Papa had done that to Mama and I was angry that they were doing this to me when I was already having a hard enough time. When Mama left I was livid, I had a destructive temper which usually ended with things broken. But eventually the anger died away and I was left feeling empty and sad. Papa was always out, coming home at all hours of the morning. I was left to fend for myself."
She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear
"I remember one day at school, Black Star was out on suspension and I was left to defend myself. Ox had come up to me, we'd always been at odds, he shoved me and then he laughed at me. He laughed and repeatedly chanted that my Mama didn't love me, that she hated me so much she couldn't stand my existence so she had to leave to save herself from such a despicable little girl."
He grabs her hand, comforting her as she continued her tale.
"I ran home, I couldn't be there anymore. His words were one repeat in my head and as I stood in the kitchen of my Papa's house I remembered reading a story about a girl who had troubles and was turning to self harm as a way to help. She called it a temporary vacation from all that was wrong with life. So I took a knife and hid in the bathroom and I.. I .." She chokes on the words.
Soul's stomach drops as he realises he was right, he pulls her into his lap holding her close as she cried.
"I'm sorry Maka, I'm sorry" His hold tightens
She sniffles before pulling back to look into his eyes.
"I don't do that anymore, in case you're worrying. I mean when things get bad or out of control and I feel like that Maka again, the urges are hard to ignore but I do. I have Black Star and Tsu now. Not to mention the greatest weapon anyone could ever ask for." She beams at him.
"Well I couldn't ask for a better Meister." He grins back
"Pizza tonight?" She asks getting up
He nods
"Hey Maka" She pauses in the doorway "You're the strongest person I've ever met"
She turns smiling a bittersweet smile.
"Thank you" She whispers
He merely slouches down into the couch, flicking contently through the channels. Amazed by just how amazing his meister truly was.
