When you woke up, everything was blurred together. All you could see was green and white clothes and ceilings. Occasionally, a figure would loom over you and move around your broken arm, but otherwise you were still. Your body ached badly when you attempted to move your legs, they felt like jelly and your arms felt like there were pins and needles in them. You could just barely open your eyes, but after a few seconds it became painful and the light hurt your eyes. The air was clean, you could breath clearly now, but you choked once or twice and a nurse rushed to your side.

Bandages were wrapped tightly around your head, and one was around your left arm and leg. An IV was hooked to your arm. A large pillow was placed behind your head and then a thin, white blanket was pulled over your body, your arms lying on top of it. When you finally had enough strength, you somehow managed to turn your head and you stared out of a small window. All you could see was the sky, and the very tops of buildings, so you guessed you were somewhere in the city on the upper floors of a hospital.

You were in a hospital. It had taken you a long time to figure it out, but once you did, you remembered vividly of what happened the night before or maybe several days ago. With sudden determination, you turned your head the opposite way to stare at a green curtain that was blocking your view of the person in the next bed. You could distinctly see the shadow of a small, frail figure that was sitting in the bed beside you. A nurse was on the other side, too, fretting over the patient.

"You should've been more careful," The nurse scolded. "Your such a good young girl, why were you out so late?" The nurse shook her head and the figure sat up weakly.

"Sorry…I guess. I wanted to say goodbye to a friend…" It was a very familiar voice, soft and gentle but very weak sounding.

"Lenalee…" You called out, and the figure straightened out and slid of their bed. She threw open the curtain in between you, and immediately you noticed the tired look in her eyes. Her usual long, green hair had been cute extremely short. She had three bandages, one around her head and the other two around her legs. Lenalee ignored her wounds though, and against the nurses' protest she rushed to your side and she wrapped her arms around you, pulling you into a soft hug. You smiled slightly, leaning forward and hugging her back.

"Your hair, Lenalee…" You murmured, grabbing onto a lock of her green hair and holding it up. She smiled half-heartedly, rubbing her head as you dropped the lock of hair. You tilted your head to the side, wincing as you realized that wasn't such a smart idea. You sat up on your bed, your legs crossed and Lenalee sat beside you.

"I got a really bad gash on my head, so they had to cut my hair to get to the injury…" She ran a hand through her hair, wincing in pain as she ran her fingers over the back of her head. You touched your own hair, gasping as you turned quickly and looked into the window. Your hair was cut into short hairstyle that matched Lenalee's, though yours was slightly longer. You let out an exhausted sigh and Lenalee gave you a sad look. It was silent again, the nurse having left a few minutes ago to let the two of you talk in private.

"Lenalee, where's Allen and…Lavi?" You managed to choke out his name, surprising yourself. Why did you feel so sad? You crossed your arms across your chest, closing your eyes and yawning tiredly. Your mind was too numb to think.

"They're in a different room," She muttered, "They both woke up a long time ago. You were the last to wake up, and your injuries were the worst." You let out a relieved sigh. You hadn't noticed it before but something had been bothering you about the accident the whole time. And how did Lenalee get into an accident, too? Allen wasn't stupid, and he didn't have a temper (or so you thought) but he wouldn't get into such a serious accident like that. Lavi, too. He wasn't an idiot, he was watching the road carefully but somehow you had gotten hit. What bothered you the most was what car had hit you. It had come from your side, so you saw what it was.

"Oh." You mumbled, too caught up in your thoughts to say anything else. Lenalee tried to smile cheerfully, but she let the façade fall when she realized that you weren't buying it.

"They came in awhile ago to check on us. They should be coming back soon to check again…" The green haired girl looked up at the round clock that hung above the door to the hospital room. You glanced up at it sighing tiredly and plopping back into your bed. That was a mistake. A shock of pain jolted your body, and you shouted in surprise and sat up. Lenalee giggled quietly, walking over to her bed and getting her pillow for you. She placed it under your back and this time you gently rested on the bed, cuddling the pillow. Lenalee sat on the end of your bed, her legs crossed as she watched the clock.

"Lenalee." You started in a serious tone, and she turned with a surprised look. "When Lavi comes in, can you drag Allen out for a second? I need to talk to him for a second, it's really important. I don't think it can wait." She looked at you with curious eyes, but you just smiled at her and shook your head. "Don't worry about it." Your words obviously didn't appease her curiosity but she remained quiet as she nodded.

"Okay," She finally said, breaking the silence for a split second before anther silence started. You and Lenalee turned away from each other. "(Name)-Chan." You looked at her. "You really love Lavi, don't you?" A fond smile made its way to your face and your cheeks turned light pink. You pouted, crossing your arms and resting your eyes.

"…Yeah…"You murmured softly. "I guess I do. I've known him for a few months but I feel like I've been in love with him for years. Sometimes it makes me curious about why I feel so connected to him. Like we have already known each other for a long time. You pressed your fingers together innocently. Lenalee seemed satisfied with your answer and she relaxed her body. Her shoulders sagged down and she sighed. She was just as tired as you felt.

"Lavi really cares for you, too. I've never seen him get so attached to someone. Most girls are just… there. But you're different…"

"Really?" It was, of course, a stupid reply, because you knew that by some extent that Lavi cared about you, but was it enough to actually call love? You honestly didn't know, nor did you want to think about it. It wasn't a question you had really thought about until now.

"Hey Lenalee!" The door flung open, two Exorcists walking in followed by an annoyed older nurse. You sighed again, you never liked feeling depressed nor did you want to walk about depressing things, but it seemed inevitable now. A lot of things were happening at once and you wanted to talk to Lavi about it. You wanted to sleep suddenly. You didn't want to talk to Lavi or Allen or Lenalee, you just wanted to sleep a get away from the world. You sighed again. You would have to, you noticed a very important detail before you had gotten injured so badly, and you wanted to confirm the suspicion with Lavi.

"(Name)!" Lenalee 'eeped' and jumped off of the bed, pushing away from you and Lavi and standing beside Allen. You grinned happily, leaning forward and wrapping your arms around Lavi, who hugged you back. You rested in his arms, your head lying on his shoulder. He held you close to him, being careful not to put too much pressure on your wounds, and he squeezed you. You laughed to yourself, glancing up at Lenalee. She nodded seriously, tugging on Allen's arm and whispering something into his ear. He turned pink, causing you to glare at Lenalee who smiled innocently, and both Exorcists walked out of the room. After they left, Lavi curiously raised an eyebrow after pulling away from you.

"Where did they…?"

"Lavi." His attention was back on you. "I… do you remember the accident. Like, what happened before it…?" Lavi was taken aback for a second, before thinking to himself. He frowned and nodded his head.

"Yeah, I remember. You were looking out the window and I was driving when you screamed and I turned in surprise. Then we were hit and flew into a ditch." You nodded.

"Do you remember the car that… hit us?" He was thinking again, shaking his head and walking around the room. You watched him warily, wondering about what you had seen too. If you both came up with different descriptions of the car, then it could be a problem. You had a better view, but Lavi's mind was good at remembering detail. Maybe you had changed the color of the car or what kind it was because you knew who owned the car. You weren't too sure now, as you watched Lavi think to himself.

"Well…" You jumped and looked at him. "It was… it looked a bit like a… Corvette? A nice red one, too. Looked damn expensive. The owner must have been an idiot to risk getting that thing in an accident." Your heart skipped a beat. No…it matched you're description perfectly. A red, Corvette ran into the side of Bookman's old car. But then that meant something you didn't want to admit to yourself. It meant that… that…

"Okay." You choked out, putting a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from straight out crying. 'It was him.' You thought. 'It was him, how could he? That jerk, how could he…? He said he loved me…' Lavi sensed your sadness, rushing to your side and hugging you.

"(Name) what's wrong?" He asked. You just shook your head.

"N-Nothing. I... it just hurts…" You whimpered, sniffling and trying to push him away.

"I'll kill that bastard…" You heard Lavi growl, and your grip on his shirt tightening.

"No!" You shouted suddenly, and he gave you a surprised look. You shook your head, hugging Lavi again. "You can't…Please, I don't want you to get hurt again, Lavi. Do you know how worried I was about you? I don't want you to get hurt again! I can't see you like this again…" You ran a hand through his hair, biting your lip as you saw the bandage that covered his eye. He had two bandages wrapped around his head, tightly wound a new. You ran your hand gently over it, ignoring Lavi's confused gaze. 'Everything is really my fault…'

"(Name)." You pulled your hand away from him, jerking back into a sleeping position. You were tired. You didn't want to talk anymore. Lavi frowned, pressing a hand against your forehead. "Why are you always so depressing? Come one, cheer up!" He exclaimed. You smiled, shaking your head.

"I just wanna sleep…" You mumbled. "Please, I'm fine." He sighed and shook his head.

"I don't understand you…" He scowled, "One minute you're happy then you're sad then your confused…" You watched him stand up, glaring out of the window with an annoyed look. His arms were crossed across his chest, and his foot was tapping against the floor. You grabbed the covers, sinking into the bed and pulling them over your head.

"I'm sorry…" You murmured. "I'm so sorry…" Lavi gave you a hard look, before his expression softened.

"Why do you blame yourself for everything? I don't understand…" He murmured, attempting to pull the covers off of you. You tugged back, not wanting to see anyone.

"Just go away. You don't understand!"

"What don't I understand!? Why can't you tell me!"

"Because the car was my dad's!" You shouted, throwing the covers off of you and glaring at Lavi. He watched you, surprised with wide eyes. Tears streaked down your cheek, as you cried into your pillow. Lavi stood, watching you and frowning.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked quietly.

"Because you wouldn't understand! It's the reason I don't want to go back home. He's a jerk! He doesn't care about me or my mom!" Lavi was silent again.

"(Name)."

"What?"

"Stop it." Your eyes widened, as he grabbed onto your shoulders. "Just stop crying already! Things happen, okay? Bad things will happen but you have to tell other people about your problems so they can help!" You looked at him for along time, before more tears slid down your cheeks.

"You made her cry!" Allen shouted, and Lavi turned surprised. A whole group of Exorcists stood in front of the doorway. Allen, Lenalee, and Kanda were glaring at him. Lenalee stepped forward, walking over to you and gripping onto his

"I didn't mean to make her cry!" He defended, walking to the other side of your bed. You buried your face into your hands and continued to cry. Lavi cowered behind the bed, hiding from Kanda's glare as Lenalee tried to cheer you up.

"Don't worry (Name)-Chan, we're all here for you." Lenalee murmured, sitting beside you and wrapping an arm around your shoulder. "We're friends and we won't let anyone hurt you. You just have to trust us." You looked up at her, and nodded with tears still I your eyes. For once you felt loved, like someone beside your mother was there to hold you up now. You weren't alone anymore.
