Hola fanfictioners! I would like to take a moment to thank all my followers and reviewers on my first story on here! You guys give me a reason to keep writing (or typing) this story Now…for what you guys came for.
Chapter 3- A promise you have yet to keep
It's 5:00 am and I still can't sleep. Thinking about Soul's actions from earlier makes it hard to sleep in the same house with him. I just need to get away. I got up of the lumpy coach (where I was forced to sleep), started up my car and drove to Tsubaki and Blackstar's house, not keeping in mind how early it was. I pulled into the driveway of their ranch house, trying to find a good excuse as of why I came so early. I checked my cell to see if Soul realized that I wasn't home, and made my way to the door. I rang the door bell maybe, 4 times, and there was no answer. I walked slowly back to my car when I heard a female voice say my name.
"Maka?" Tsubaki asked. Her voice was softer than usual. "What are you doing here so early?"
"Oh, I-um...I need to talk to you." I said nervously. I felt stupid. I should've never come here.
"Sure, come on in." She hand gestured me inside of the house, wiping her eyes with her blue pajama shirt that read 'Blackstar's #1 fan' with his face on it. How can Tsubaki wear that without a fight I thought "So what's wrong?" It took me a long time to start speaking.
"You know that Soul went to the bar with Blackstar…right?"
"Yea...actually Blackstar came back just fine for once; having Soul come with him was a good idea." Tsubaki let out a slight smile.
"Not really" My voice got softer and I felt the tears come.
"What do you mean?" My heart stopped at the question Tsubaki shot at me. Why did I come here? I'm so stupid for this; I should just go home and tell Tsubaki that I just came by to say hello, or something. "Maka…what happened?" A tear rolled down my cheek, my throat began to burn and I couldn't speak. Tsubaki got up and gave me some tea. I felt a little better afterwards. I t was silent up until I found my words.
"Soul…" I began to say. "Soul...hurt me"
"He hurt you? Where?" Tsubaki said with worry in her voice. I showed her the bruise on my arm from when Soul grabbed me, I have a feeling that it won't leave no time soon, and I told her about the beer bottle accident. "Maka, you don't have to worry about that again, I'll tell Blackstar never to…"
"It's okay Tsubaki, after I explain to Soul about what he did, everything will be fine." I hoped. Everything Soul said still repeated in my head like a record. I wanted to cry again but, I think I cried out all I can.
"Okay" Tsubaki replied. I felt relieved to have a friend like her. Anyone who can deal with Blackstar can deal with me. "Do you want to stay over or…?"
"I want to stay" I said quickly, interrupting her. I didn't want to go back, not tonight anyway. Tsubaki went into the closet and grabbed a comforter and a pillow and gave it to me. She allowed me to sleep on the coach and to help myself to whatever I wanted in the fridge. I just turned on the TV and watched Ed Edd and Eddy (Which was the only thing on this late) and quickly fell asleep.
~The next morning~
I looked at the clock 11:00 a.m great I got up and made my way to the kitchen. I grabbed some milk, a bowl, spoon, and Fruit loops for breakfast. I plopped on the couch and turned on the TV. Soon enough, Blackstar walked into the room in confusion.
"What are you doing here Maka?" He asked. I looked at him in disgust when I realized that the reason I was here was his fault. But, I didn't want to tell him, of all people, what happened, so I ignored him. "Fine, don't tell me." He said after finally realizing that I was ignoring him. I felt my phone vibrate on my lap. Who's texting me now? It was Soul. 'Maka, where r u? You're never out this late and I'm worried. When r u coming back?' The text read. I decided to go back home and talk to him. I rolled up the comforter Tsubaki let me use and tossed it in the closet, along with the pillow.
"Tell Tsubaki I said I'll call her later" I demanded Blackstar. He just nodded his head and stuffed his face with Apple Jacks. I walked out the door and slowly to my car. It felt like the longest drive ever to get to my house from Tsubaki's, and Death City isn't even that big. I pulled into the driveway to be greeted by Soul, wearing his favorite green pj's. As soon as I got out the car Soul gave me the biggest hug ever and a peck on a cheek. He tried to get to my lips before I pushed him away and walked into the house, that still had beer on the floor and shattered antiques from my mom, only 3 out of 10 remained unscratched.
"Maka…what's wrong?" He asked. He really didn't remember? "Where were you? Are you okay? What's that bruise on your arm, did someone hurt you?" I
"Yes" Was all I could say as he filled up my head with questions. His ruby red eyes met my emerald ones and he asked me the mort ironic question ever.
"Who hurt you, Maka?" I looked at him with the most hurtful face I've ever made. I didn't want to answer him, nor believe that the answer I said was…the truth.
"You"
"Me?"
"Yes Soul you! You hurt me!" I yelled, maybe a little too loud. He looked confused, and then it came to him. Last night (or this morning) was real. It happened.
"Maka…I...I'm so sorry." He said...a tear rolled down his cheek. "I didn't know, I never meant to hurt you Maka. You know I love you." He looked into my eyes. He wanted to kiss me, I could tell, but he knew that right now, wasn't a very good time.
"I love you too, Soul, but, you scared me, a lot and…"
"I'll never do it again." He said interrupting me. "I promise." It was hard to stay mad at him for too long, especially when he's so close to me and staring into my eyes.
"You promise?" I said getting as close as I can (We weren't even that close because of my stomach). He kissed my forehead and hugged me. The warmth of his body made me smile.
"Yes…I promise, Maka." He replied "Please don't leave again." I felt his tears on the top of my head. Forgiving him will be easy to do but, I don't think forgetting will be.
"Okay…I won't Soul." I hugged him a little tighter and I pressed his lips against mine. I soon pulled away and went to the bed (Tsubaki's coach wasn't all that comfortable) and Soul followed behind me. I laid down and Soul did the same and wrapped him arms around me. I closed my eyes for a few moments and opened them again (Soul already knocked out) to look at the time. 4:00 pm already? Damn I closed my eyes again and decided that I needed a quick nap. I quickly fell asleep, wrapped in Soul's arms.
~Later that day (9:00)~
I rolled over in the large king sized bed to realize that I was alone in it. "Soul?" I said with a yawn. I got up and looked at the time again. It took me 5 hours for that one nap? I quickly stopped thinking about the time and walked around the house (upstairs and down) to find Soul. "Soul?" I cried out. I looked in the garage, where he kept his Toyota Camry, and it wasn't there. He usually leaves a note when he leaves somewhere. I looked in the kitchen, the bedroom and the living room, where he usually leaves notes, and there was none to be found. Where is he?
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I enjoyed writing it so I hope you enjoyed reading it! :-P I expect to write Chapter 4 tomorrow but there may be a delay due to traveling, but we'll see. R&R I don't own Soul eater but I have all credit for this story!
