Chapter 4 ~ Truth Comes Out
Maka had not slept one bit that whole night. She had just said something she regretted. What in her right mind made her say that? Why would she say that to begin with? She barely even knows him and yet she was going to tell him this condition she has been having for what ten years. She as lying in bed trying to figure out what to say, what to tell him, what not to tell him, but mostly why she was going to tell him.
It's because you trust him… she heard in her mind she shook that thought out of her head. How could she trust Soul? She barely even knew him. Was it because he said he would help her? Was because he said he would listen? Or even when he said he would never let her feel alone. She sat on her bed with these thoughts in mind. She was alone in the house, her dad was out drinking and would be home late or he would bring home some kind of slut. She sat there till she looked at her desk. She saw her blade there and went to get it. She placed the blade on her lower arm near the elbow. She then made a small cut on her arm. She felt much better afterward, like all the pain has disappeared. She then cleaned the blade and then wrapped up the cut. She then went to bed, with the thoughts having to tell Soul about her condition.
It was already the next day and Maka got no sleep that whole night. It didn't make any difference anyway, she always stayed up late because she is either depressed or she just can't sleep at all. She sat down at her desk and pulled out her book. She then heard the seat next to her move and someone sat down next to her. She looked up to see Soul right next to her. She was confused on why he would be sitting back here, again.
"Why are you sitting here?" she asked her voice hurting. She was pushing herself to talk when she shouldn't be. "I like sitting back here now. I think I will now, you know if it's okay with you." She blinked a bit and just nodded. She only caught half of that sentence really, because she couldn't hear the rest. Soul nodded back and looked to the front of the class. Maka didn't know if she could really be able to tell him. She mostly thinks it's wired that Soul would show so much kindness to her.
Her classes flew by and soon it was lunch. All morning Maka couldn't hear a single thing. She didn't know if this could be a good or bad thing. This could be bad because she wouldn't be able to hear the lessons in class. This could also be a good thing because she could use this to get out of the talk with Soul. She sat against a shelf in the library reading a book while eating an apple. Maka didn't know what to do. She wanted to tell Soul. She wanted to be his friend. She wanted to friends with him and all of his friends. But that was crazy, because she was different, too different.
Soul was sitting with his friends at lunch. He was watching the door of the lunchroom. Maka hasn't come with him. He noticed that in the classes she was in with him, Maka didn't write anything down. Soul thought that something was wrong. He didn't know what was going on, but he was going to find out this afternoon.
"She never took any notes for the whole class." Black Star said. Soul snapped out of his thought. "You too?" he asked. Black Star nodded.
"I noticed that too. I wonder if she is okay." Tsubaki said.
"Maybe she just doesn't feel well." Patty said.
"Then she should have gone to the nurse's office." Kid said.
"Ms. Marie gave her a copy of the notes at the end of class." Liz said fixing her nails.
"What do you mean?" Soul asked.
"Maka walked up to her and gave her a note. She read it, nodded, and gave her a packet of paper that was the notes." Liz said. This got Soul curious.
"I can't believe it!" Black Star shouted. "Why does she get this special treatment?!"
"Black Star shut up!" Kid snapped.
"I wonder if we should talk to her." Tsubaki said. Soul shook her head.
"She won't be comfortable with it. Maka can barely talk to me when we talk." Soul said. This got everyone's attention.
"YOU TALK TO HER!" Black Star shouted. Kid then punched him. Soul nodded. "AND SHE TALKED BACK!" he shouted. Tsubaki slapped the back of his head. Soul nodded again.
"She talks to me, but it would be like a whisper. She doesn't talk that much though." He said.
"When is the next time you're talking to her? We want to come." Liz said. Soul just shook his head like he didn't know. He thought if they came with him afterschool with him Maka would freak out and not talk to him at all. She put a lot of trust in him if she was willing to talk to him. He was going to listen, he was going to help her, and he was going to make sure she was never alone again. The classes flew by for the both of them, and soon school was over.
Maka waited up on the roof top of the school. She watched all the kids leave the school building. They were all laughing and smiling with their friends because it was finial the weekend. Maka sighed and looked up to the sky. She didn't know if Soul had ditched or he forgot. Maka was about to get ready to leave when she heard someone come up from behind her. She looked to see that it was Soul.
"Hey, sorry I took too long. Did you wait long?" He said. Maka just shook her head saying she didn't.
"So will you tell me why you don't talk to people?" he asked. She took a deep breath.
"You promise you won't think I'm wired?" She said.
"I promise." He said taking a step closer.
"You promise you won't tell anyone?" She asked taking a step closer to him.
"I promise." He said taking another.
"You promise?" She asked taking another.
"I promise Maka, you can trust. I swear I won't tell anyone. I swear I won't think your wired." He said. He grabbed her hand and held it tight. "I swear Maka." Maka looked at him in disbelief but then nodded.
"The reason I don't talk to people is because…" she said trailing off. Soul waited to hear her answer. She took a deep breath. "The reason I don't talk to people is because… I have this condition where I can't speak or hear people for one moment, but then I can another moment later on."
Soul's eyes widen at this. He couldn't believe what he heard. He looked at Maka who looked dead serious. He tightens the grip on her hand.
"Maka you're…"
Cliffhanger! What do you think Soul is going to say to Maka? You're just going to have to wait till tomorrow! ;)
Please tell me what you think! R&R!
