Pre-Authors Note:

I had this idea for a short one shot for a while and on a whim decided to go with it. I tried to make it more emotional and serious compared to"Trials" but I'm not sure I succeeded. So feel free to comment and review, I'd like to hear you thoughts on it.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the story.

I was pretty sure it was broken. I mean, after punching a concrete wall, why wouldn't my hand be broken. I can see some blood dripping from my fist, but I don't feel pain, my aura must be kicking in. The only pain I feel is coming from my chest; it's as if I got hit repeatedly and I can barely breathe. I just stand here, looking at the wall, a mixture of emotions envelop me.

Anger

Sadness

Both hit me at the same time and I feel like throwing up. I can only think about earlier today. I was talking with her; she was excited to finally be graduated, and for the adventures we were going to go on together. I can feel tears start to form in my eyes. Even though it has only been a short time, I can't remember the sound of her voice anymore. Her laugh, her yell, or just talking to her again, I'll never experience these things again.

I try and think about all the good memories, but my mind can only bring up the awful ones. The times we fought, the times we yelled and the times I've let her down. All I can do is just stand there.

After standing in front of the wall for what feels like hours, I can hear Ren tell me it's time.

As we walk towards the room she was in, I see the faces of old friends of Beacon, all of which looked at us with sympathy. They have lost a friend, but we lost a teammate, I lost my partner.

As we enter the room I can see the Team RWBY, Ruby is sobbing into Yang's arms, while Blake and Weiss just silently cry. Ren, whom I've entered the room with, just stands there with a sobbing Nora, a pained look on his face, he looks like he wants to cry but he holds it in, I envy him for that.

I look away not wanting to see her in this condition; I don't want this to be real. I want this, no… I need this to be some kind of terrible nightmare. As I look outside I notice how bright it is, wasn't it just dark and gloomy a minute ago? Now there's a beautiful sunset over the hospital, the kind we use to watch together on top of the tower. How can something so beautiful when this is happening, was the world always this cruel?

As a cloud starts to move over the sun, I turn around just in time to see my partner take her last breath. Her vibrant red hair, her intoxicating smile, her piercing emerald eyes, all of these made her beautiful, made her perfect, they will never to be seen again. The room starts to get darker; I assume that the cloud had finally covered the sun.

After what feels like hours, but in reality could`ve only been minutes, we each leave the room. One by one, saying our goodbyes for a final time. I never really liked that word. Goodbye, what is the good thing about saying bye? As I walk out of the room, I take one last look outside the window. The cloud was still over the sun, but a single beam was shining through. It wasn`t a blinding light, but it was still bright enough to lighten up the room. A stairway to heaven I think they call it. I look at Pyrrha one last time; she looks so peaceful, so beautiful. It hurts right now, but deep down I know that she`s alright and would always be with us. I tell her that I love her one last time, but I don`t say goodbye, I won`t say goodbye, I just tell her that one day our family would be together again. We will be together again.
