Chapter Two: The Road to Recovery
Soul's POV
I was drifting aimlessly through nothing, I knew Maka was besides me in the real world but I couldn't do anything but worry if I had ruined our friendship with what I had said, or if she had just simply brushed it off as adrenalin on my part or a hearing mistake on hers. And the little demon man was there with me, until he disappeared and I felt Maka crying, and then I felt, truly felt the tears hit me, and I dragged myself into reality and embraced her in a compassionate hug which only managed to make her cry even harder, but it brought a smile to my face because they were tears of joy. And then she hit me, well more like lightly shoved me with a fiery passion of rage swimming in her eyes, more tears brimming up to the surface, "How dare you pull a stunt like that almost costing you your life, tell me you love me and pass out for three whole months before I could tell you that I loved you too!" she said, getting louder and louder with each syllable, and then pushed me back down onto the bed, crying as she ran from the infirmary for the first time in I guess three months. It crushed me that she left like that, but I was also elated that, that she loved me too.
It was a week and a few days before she came back, all the others came as soon as they heard that I was awake, but it wasn't the same, I had an empty feeling that grew worse and worse each passing moment that she was gone, not knowing if she was okay, and after the first day or two and every thing started to blur together with a dank numbness. It wasn't until they released me that she came to see me, giving me nothing more then a silent nod and a small smile and silently accompanying me back to our apartment. When we got there for once Blair wasn't there, and I wasn't sure if this made this more or less awkward. Everything sounded louder, and when she shut the door I felt like I was about to leap out of my skin, and then she started to talk, it was barely a whisper, but I heard and understood each and every word, "I'm sorry for leaving Soul, I wasn't really angry at you, I… I was just shocked, every worry I felt and every tear I shed while you were lying there came flooding back to be and I just don't know, it just happened. I…" and that's when I interrupted her with a whisper of my own, only a little louder then hers, "Then why didn't you come back?" as soon as it left my mouth I realized the hurt and anger laced in those words and instantly regretted it. I saw the hurt in her face, and that hurt was conveyed in her words, "I… I was ashamed of myself, and I didn't want to face you after what I said. I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry.
What happened next, well it changed everything, more then the life threatening events, the admitting of love, or anything, what happened next changed the whole game and for the most part, it changed it for the better, me for the better, us for the better, what happened next… TBC
Sorry for the cliff hanger, but suspense is always fun.
I'll be trying to upload daily at least once whenever time allows it.
If you enjoyed, or saw potential, or would like to improve or comment on anything feel free to.
Have a good day(and no its not TBC'ed because there doing anything to bump up the age rating, I just felt that I would keep writing and have a terrifically long chapter two.)
