I still can't stress enough for you guys by saying thanks for reading my story so far. You guys pretty much keep me going on my story knowing that I'm doing a great job on making cool chapters for y'all to read…here is chapter 3.
The next day after I came back from the dorm was any normal day I ever had…except for one thing, I stayed in our team dorm with one of my teammates. I felt bad for letting them take care of me, they will be missing so many classes until I recover…for me though, Professor Ozpin said that I shouldn't worry, they will have work due at a future date than anyone else while for me…I'm excused from all classwork.
When everyone was in morning classes, Weiss stayed with me for the first shift. We talked about many things that have happened over the days…she also told how she felt when she thought I was gone.
"I thought I would never see you again, we went through so much last year that you are the closest friend I ever had…even though in the first few days I was hard on you." She said while I was laying down on my bed, listening to every word.
"I must've made you really worried, I'm sorry about that…but I'm here…back in the living." I said in a shaky voice. I looked at her and all I saw in her eyes were just pure sadness…I tried to comfort her "Hey don't worry, we won't let it happen again…we won't lose anyone here." She looked up at me and managed to pull a smile. Inside me, I was filled with fear…I didn't want to show it so I hid it and smiled at her too.
She asked "Ruby?"
I replied "Yes?
She hugged me and said "Thank you…no wonder why you're our team leader."
Later, during free time…everyone came back in the dorm room to see how I was doing.
"You look so cute when you're on your bed Ruby." Yang admitted and pinched my cheek.
"It stinks though; I have to be like this until I can stand perfectly and walk…which will maybe be for a few more days. So for now…I'm going to be using a wheelchair" I replied and sighed. I said another thing that popped into my mind as a question "How am I going to take a shower?"
Everyone was surprised unusually "Umm…I think you are going to have to figure that out yourself Ruby." Blake said in an unusual voice.
"Can you guys help me into my wheelchair please?" I asked. Yang picked me up slowly and gently setted me down on the wheelchair I came out with from the infirmary. I realized that being in a wheelchair…I zoomed through the hallway fast, forgetting that my friends were still following me.
"Whoa! Ruby! Wait up!" my team shouted and tried to catch up. I stopped at the garden west of our dorm and looked at the rose. Everyone stopped with unusual looks on their faces.
Weiss looked in awe and asked "Ruby? Did you plant these roses?"
"Yep, I did…I'm not only interested in cookies and weapons guys. Well, I planted these roses for a reason." I replied in a voice that was only above whispering. I continued on but in a sad voice "I plant them for some reason I don't know about. It just hurts my head to think about it, but I know when one wilts…something happens to me or someone else." Everyone was at a loss for words…I looked and saw that one of my roses wilted. I didn't know if I was right since that was the only rose there. I didn't even touch it…I was tearing up in my eyes.
Yang looked at me when she heard me crying…I didn't even dare to look at her "Ruby…we'll get through this, I told you before. Nothing bad is going to happen anymore…we are supposed to get through this as a team. You're not alone." She said as she patted my shoulder. I wanted to forget about that one cold snowy night, but it just coming back to haunt me. I turned my wheelchair and looked at the sunset, snow started to fall. Everyone followed my eyes and looked at the snow falling from the sky.
The sun setted and I said in a saddening tone "This is how the night was when I almost died…except there is no blood red snow, just me looking up to know what will happen to me in the next few days…I just might die all of a sudden or just suffer again." Everyone looked at me with worried looks; I turned myself away from everyone and slowly rolled my wheelchair away from them. I heard no one following me; I turned around and saw that my teammates were still looking at me like they were frozen in time. "Sorry for worrying you guys, I'm going to take a short trip around Beacon." I said and kept going. I just can't go on…she can't get out of my head, like she's waiting for me to give up I thought and looked up at the night sky. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, knowing that my teammates will come and take me back to the dorm. After thinking that, I heard footsteps but I didn't open my eyes…I just let them take me away.
"You're going to be ok Ruby, just get some rest." Yang said to me. I eased up and went back to sleep….
My fingers just did the typing here…I thought of this one as different….
