Ugh I should have kept a backup but I updated so that's all that matters. I'm sorry if its kinda Meh, but I tried… Dx Thank you for following this story.


Loneliness and Regret

Feeling hopeless is the worse feeling; anyone who goes through this feeling deserves someone who cares about them, someone who cares and someone who will listen to them when they cry. Although Weiss on the other hand felt as if her heart were empty and all happiness she knew soon was replaced with the sorrow and guilt.

She had beaten herself up over the incident which happened some time ago and here she is, holding onto Ruby's hand waiting for her to wait up and speak. Days would go past as if they were minutes. Countless nights without showering although Weiss never once left Ruby's side, only to go to the bathroom and get a drink although she spent most her time by her partners side.

"Ruby…" Weiss whispered as she thought about what inspired to lead to this. 'I wasn't fast enough to save her… she's suffering because of me… I promised her that I would always have her back… although it was a lie wasn't it… I failed as a partner and a friend… is this loneliness? I don't like this feeling… it feels as if I'm hopeless and alone.' Weiss continued to have those negative thoughts as she sat beside Ruby's bedside, all she could hear as the respirator and the heart beat sensor.

"Although she's still alive although if… if I were faster maybe, she would be here laughing. What if she never recovers and stays bed ridden for all her life? What would I do then? I wouldn't accept a new partner, I never will." Weiss continued talking to herself as if she were the only person around. She was stubborn and filled with regret. Her head told her that she wasn't good enough although her heart says otherwise and deep down she hoped for Ruby's full recovery.

"If you're gonna be like this than it's no wonder that you're a failure. What's the point on dwelling on what's already happen! Get a hold of yourself Weiss… this is also hard for me too. Please don't act as if you're the only one suffering…" Yang said when it all happened.

"Maybe she's right… perhaps I am taking this a bit far…" Weiss had red eyes which screamed out that she was sleep deprived and her hair was a mess. Smelling her clothing on her, she realised that she wreaked and needed a shower as soon as possible.

Getting up to head back towards her dorm room, she realised something. "Can it be?" Weiss said, hoping that she wasn't seeing things. Ruby's fingers… they were moving and her eyes were twitching open. "Ruby…?" Weiss said.

Her heart beat rose quite a bit and the nurse came rushing in to assess the situation. Although as soon as she arrived, Ruby opened her eyes for the first time in ages and the first person she saw was Weiss. What happened next was unexpected to everyone, Ruby shrieked as loud as she could while at the same time kicking Weiss to the floor.

The white haired girl fell backwards and hit her head on the concrete floor of the infirmary. "Owe…" Weiss cried as she hit her head on the floor. She looked up to Ruby to only see the brunette's face written with fear as she stared at Weiss.

Both her breathing and heart beat was out of control, so in order to control the situation the nurse quickly subdued Ruby with a shot of some sort. It took a few seconds before it started to kick in although her heart rate returned to normal and so did her breathing. This was the first time Weiss had ever seen Ruby act this way and what made her feel worse was that the nurse gestured for Weiss to leave her be.

Of course Weiss protested, although she could never overrule a staff member. So doing as she was told, she left the two alone and returned to her dorm room and by the time she was there, it was already past midnight.

Weiss needed a good shower with a goodnights sleep anyways, so this wasn't so bad. It would mean things would have to wait till tomorrow and hopefully she would have both her teammate and friend back by then.

The next day…

Noise… it's all Weiss could hear it sounded as if it were like a bird chirping in the background. Getting up to the sound, she soon realised it were just her alarm. "Ahh damn my head. It hurts and I'm still sleepy…" Weiss said as she yawned.

"You're up? I thought you were gonna sleep in like you did the days before." Yang said, as she was getting dressed for classes.

Weiss didn't care much; she was more worried about her partner than her grades at this point. "Meh…" she shrugged, she sat up right in her bed, yawning while stretching at the same time.

"You're grades are taking a massive decline Weiss, I'd advise you snap out of you're sorry state." Blake warned, which was true. Ever since the incident Weiss couldn't concentrate in class and ever since then, she's been skipping class and heading to the infirmary instead.

So she stayed quiet and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she needed to do all her basic hygiene and of course grab a new pair of clothes, the ones she was wearing last night are in the wash and she didn't have any spares. Then it looks like she would have to wear her uniform.

Disregarding the comments made by the two, Weiss went out and headed back to the infirmary, the two however were worried about her. Yang was the most worried of the team, she hated seeing Weiss wake up only to head back to Ruby's side although she could understand that although how Weiss was dealing with the whole ordeal. She accepts it as if it were her own fault but really there was nothing that she could have done.

Yang sighed and continued glancing over her notes for class. "Ugh, Weiss is beginning to piss me off really bad. How hard is it to accept that it wasn't her fault?" Yang said in clear annoyance.

Blake didn't know either; she's been though the conversation with Weiss. Although the entire snow queen did but ignore her and act all depressed about it, in iron sight she's kind of stubborn. "I can't really blame her, like Ruby is her friend although I get what you mean. I'm worried for her grades because if they're not good enough sooner or later she's gonna be expelled for not attending."

Expelled for not attending was a possible path, Weiss showed no care for her studies as she use to and although she had exceptional grades to begin with, that would only take her so far. "Ugh I'm so tired of taking down notes for her, is it really my duty?" Yang protested, because all the weeks that Weiss had been absent, Yang was doing her best to make sure that Weiss was up to date with her assignments and such.

"No one's forcing you; you're just doing it because you care for her. I can respect that and it shows that you're a good team mate, like looking out for others I mean." Blake explained. It was all true, Yang only took notes because she didn't want Weiss to fall behind but Weiss didn't even bother doing her homework and that's what made Yang mad.

Yang sighed, she was stressed and clearly annoyed but there's no helping it, she would have a word with Weiss later on. "Yeah you're right, I'll have a chat with her later and I promise I won't hurt her." The blonde promised, she just wondered how Ruby was holding up because it's been quite some time since she last visited.

Elsewhere…

Weiss was still half asleep, her stomach felt hungry although in her head she didn't want to eat. In a way she felt as if she was forgetting something, but she couldn't recall. "Huh… Oh, how could I have forgotten! I was supposed to tell Blake and Yang about Ruby! Gah I'm such a dunce." Weiss quietly cursed to herself as she walked onwards, she had technically arrived although she would have to check out at the counter.

"Here to see Ruby Rose." Weiss said, although the attendant shook her head for some odd reason.

"I'm sorry, we're not taking any visitors for Miss Rose at the moment, please come back later." The attendant said, returning back to her duties.

"What do you mean? Did something happen? Please I must know!" Weiss insisted, although the counter lady didn't know either.

"I'm sorry I don't know myself although the head doctor told me to not let anyone in, apparently its quite important but I don't know the certain natures." The attendant explained and Weiss had no other choice but to accept that fact but she was still curious.

Deciding this was not worth the time; Weiss sighed deeply and headed to class with an empty stomach. Plus the doctors can explain this to her later and maybe, she would have her answer to why Ruby suddenly jumped out at her like that the night before.

Elsewhere…

"I'm sorry but you're clearly a-" the doctor was suddenly cut off by Ruby's loud incoherent yelling, although once that subsided, she returned to her quiet self.

"I can't believe it… I can't remember… my…"
