Chapter 9
It can't get better than this.
Oh my head… I thought as I opened my eyes, the sunlight stung my eyes as they adjust to the light. As I sat up my stomach twitched and had a slushy feeling to it. When I sat all the way up I felt the slush start to rise.
"Oh god - !" I said, though it was muffled by my hand covering my mouth, as I ran to the bathroom and spilt the contents of my stomach into the toilet.
When I was done I washed out my mouth and staggered back to bed, my head really hurt, and the light wasn't making it any better… I slumped onto my bed and my head landed on something hard and warm. When I look to see what it was I gasped.
"Soul?... Oh god…" I said, trying to make sense of everything, every thought becoming more mortifying than the last.
He's not wearing a shirt! I thought, panicking, literally jumping to keep my cool, failing miserably… The blanket was covering him waist down and I was afraid to see if he was, you know, really naked…
I looked down at myself, my shirt was messed up, only five buttons buttoned and my tie was untied. My skirt was unzipped at the side and my underwear was awkwardly moist… I felt dirty… I can't take this. Me being me, I think of the worst… Maybe after we did it, Soul rushed my clothes on hoping I wouldn't notice…
That jackass! That pig, bastard, dick, ass – Guh! How could he do this to me? I find the closest corner to back up into, and slowly slide down the wall until I hit the floor. As I slide down I let out sobs that violently shake my body. When I hit the floor I hug my legs and bury my face into my knees.
I really liked him… I really trusted him… Guys truly are all the same. They're pigs. Nothing more, but yet, some even manage to be less… Roaches. They could also be roaches. Just. Like. My. Father. And now, possibly even Soul…
But this isn't completely his fault, I shouldn't have made that deal with him… What was I thinking? I should've known better, but no~! I just had to trust him! How could I have been so stupid?
I cry harder, not caring if I sound unattractive, not caring if I wake Soul up. God, it's bad enough my damn what I call 'happy pills' aren't working! Between the 'accident' and this, I'm surprised I'm not killing someone, or myself!...
No… don't think like that Maka, you've gotta stay strong…I think shaking my head as if to shoo the bad thoughts away. That's when I heard something stir.
"Maka?" Soul said, she sounded kind of panicked, probably because he knew I probably figured him out by now…
"What." I say angrily, but my voice came out hoarse and choked.
"Whoa, are you okay? Why are you crying? Is the hangover that bad?" His eyes were wide with worry.
Damn. He's an amazing actor, but I'm not falling for it. Not this time.
"Is the hangover that bad?" I laugh cruelly with sarcasm mixed in their as well, "What the hell do you think? You took advantage of me you sick bastard!" I scream, not recognizing my voice at all.
"What the! – What the hell are you talking about!" He yelled bewildered at the words coming out of my mouth.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about! And what the hell's on your pants?" I vociferate while I stare at his pants.
I was at eye level with whatever was on his pants and it didn't look like that crap they had me drinking last night.
"No, not really, you mind explaining?" He retorted, rubbing his temples trying to control his anger.
"There is nothing to explain! You took advantage of me! There's really nothing to explain Soul!"
"I did what now?" He looked like someone stabbed him in the heart and well, he honestly looked hurt… "Why the hell do you think I would do something like that?" He really did look like someone killed his favorite puppy and it made me feel guilty…
The look on his face was genuine hurt, no one could pretend that well…
"You mean you didn't… That means we didn't - !"
I smile, almost jumping for joy – until I looked at a hurt Soul looking at me like I was the one who stabbed his heart – even killed his favorite puppy.
"Thanks Soul!..." I say, trying to make it better, but failing. "Soul…?" I say sheepishly.
"I honestly can't believe…" he laughed bitterly. "Why the hell do you think I'd do that to you Maka? Of all the things we've been through, you think I'd risk it all to take advantage of you?"
I opened my mouth to say something but I couldn't… I felt too ashamed to say something as meaningless as "I'm sorry"… because I know he'll just say, "if you were sorry you wouldn't have considered that in the first place!"…
"I'm hurt, really, I am…" He continued, placing his hands on my shoulders. "What the hell were you thinking Maka? Please tell me… Cause I'm not sure how this will end if you don't…" He was looking at me with helpless eyes, as mine were beginning to water.
"I-…" I was trying to get my alibi together but it was so hard with those eyes, those hurt, helpless eyes looking at me, making the guilt overflow from my body.
"Maka, please, just tell me already…!" He said panic filling his voice, he was shaking me now, but not too hard, just enough to help shake sense into me… I think it was helping.
"Your shirt was off…. And it looked like my clothes were put on in a rush… My head hurt, my stomach was feeling terrible… I wasn't thinking straight and I know it doesn't mean much but… I – I'm sorry! I panicked and it wasn't right of me to jump to conclusions and - "
I was cut off by a chest in my face and Soul's arms wrapped around me.
"For someone who's so smart," Soul laughed half – heartedly "you can be really dense you know that?"
"Yea -"
"Shhhh, you talk to much," Soul said, cutting me off "Besides, you might say something stupid again." He laughed, flashing his trademark smile.
I blush and push his away playfully.
"Shut up Soul! What's on your pants anyways?" I say, trying to change the subject.
He blushed like mad and jumped when I mentioned the stain.
"Uh um ha, about that…" He fumbled his words and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Lets just say your very um, talented and have a way with movements…"
I cock a brow and slightly tilt my head, giving the 'what do you mean?' look.
"Okay, fine…" He sighed. "When you where grinding on me last night I jizzed my pants…"
"You what! Ha haa! Wait – I WHAT?"
Soul sat me down and explained last night to me, and why he was in my bed. Needless to say, everything turned out fine and now that I look back at it I can laugh, especially now.
You see, now we're hanging out at Tsubaki's place and Black Star's bruised and battered. I guess Tsubaki took care of him last night after he groped her and tried to strip her down she brought him home to beat the hell out of him, though I'm sorry we had to miss that show… But seeing Black Star like this and knowing the cause is good enough for me, ha haa.
You know, the longer I know Soul the more grateful I feel to have a friend like him, I know he has my back and I can truly relax and be myself. Ha, it's times like this when I really know how great my life can be. I know it couldn't get any better than this.
