Chapter 10: Secret's. Part 2
(Weiss' POV)
After about an hour or so of testing, Ruby woke up, looking around the room. The little huntress was still in her dress though as she didn't leave my side for the whole test. "W-where am I?" Ruby asked as she rubbed her eyes. "Weiss, where'd you take me?"
I let out a sigh of relief. "Oh Ruby, thank god you're awake. The doctors said you had an anxiety attack in your sleep. You were in a temporary coma." I answered as I hugged her tightly. "I was so worried. You were thrashing and spasming in your sleep, and you kept calling my name."
I let go of her finally as the doctor came in a moment later, greeting Ruby as she briefly told her what happened.
"Oh, Ms. Schnee. Would it be alright if I talked with you in private?" The doctor asked. I nodded as the doc guided me outside the door.
"We ran some brain scan tests and the tests came back normal. Ruby is fine. She's just suffering from lack of sleep. Because of her occupation it makes it very dangerous for her to be sleep deprived, so just in case I'm gonna put her on some strong sleeping medication." The doctor explained.
I shrugged. "Okay, so what business is that of mine?" I asked.
"Well," She began. "We have some good quality medicine we can give her so she can get back to normal, but we need to have someone make sure she takes it regularly. If she even misses one day it could throw off her balance completely. Also, there's one more thing."
"What is it?" I asked. The doctor pulled out a small bottle with a prescription label on it.
"It needs to be injected into her by a syringe."
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed. "You mean she has to get someone to give her the drug through a needle?!"
"Listen. I know it's a lot to ask of a friend of hers, but please. It's the only way to guarantee her recovery fast. We don't have any other medication that won't give her bad side effects or is strong enough for her age. Please, I will show you everything you need to do." The doctor said, and I knew she was trying her hardest to convince me to help Ruby. Finally, I sighed.
"Alright, I can't say no to it if it helps her get better." I finally caved in. The doctor smiled as she brought me to a different room.
The doc showed me how to put the syringe in the bottle, how to get rid of air bubbles in it and demonstrated the injection process on another prescribed patient. I nodded as I watched every detail carefully, making sure that I knew exactly what to do. I wanted to become a field nurse for huntsmen and huntresses when I went to Beacon. I knew though that if I only became a medic, I wouldn't know how to protect myself if emergencies arose. So I decided to be more of a huntress/medic. I knew how to fix most wounds with gauze and bandages, but needles were a whole new addition to the role.
"Okay, I think I got it down pat." I told the doctor, giving her a thumbs up in acknowledgement.
"Alright, let's go see how Ruby's doing." The doctor concluded as we walked back to her room. Ruby was playing on her scroll as we sashayed in.
"Oh, hey Weiss." Ruby greeted as she caught a glimpse of me from her phone, she returned back to the game instantly. "Sorry, I'm finally beating my high score on Super Stickman Smasher 5!" She continued as she did little arm gestures on every word in the title.
"Yep, she's back to normal." I said as I sat down next to her. We sat in the hospital for about another half an hour before the nurse came back with the discharge papers. After signing them I took Ruby's prescription. Thank god all medical purchases were under our benefits.
"Give that to her once every night at 9 o' clock, Ruby should fall asleep in less than a few minutes." The doctor instructed.
"Alright, thanks doc." I said. The doctor smiled.
"Don't thank me, you are a very generous friend for her."
I walked home with the prescription in my hand as Ruby followed alongside me. "So, what did the doctor say?" Ruby asked.
"She said you were screwed," I joked "I'm kidding. She just said to take this medicine every night at 9. She said I had to give it to you to ensure you stayed on track."
Ruby nodded in compliance. "Okay."
We finally got to our dormroom as Ruby went inside, but I stopped at the door. "It's alright, I'm gonna go get some fresh air." I told Ruby as the girl nodded and shut the door. I went up to the roof, it was almost dusk. Damn the day flew by fast, what with the stress of Ruby's panic attack and making sure she was alright. I sat down on the cold ground as I watched dusk roll by. I made a leap of faith for Ruby, hoping that was enough. I could tell she was cluing in on my moves. The little redhead knew something was happening between us.
'I just hope it was enough for her to tell me she loved me.' I thought as the sun started to set. I remembered Ruby laying her head in my lap as she slept soundly. Hoping one day it could happen again, only with me in her lap this time.
8:55 p.m. About 5 minutes until given medication (Ruby's POV).
I splashed water on my face as I finished brushing my teeth. I looked in the mirror, thinking about what happened in my dream. It was similar to the one I had a week or two ago with the cabin in the forest, but it was a completely different scenario.
In Ruby's dream.
I was running in a snow-covered forest, holding Weiss' hand as we bolted through the brush of the forest. All of a sudden, grimm surrounded us on all sides. They weren't specific grimm though, they just seemed to be floating darkness. One of them from behind us slashed Weiss hard upwards, sending her out of my grasp and flying.
"Weiss!" I screamed as she disappeared in the air, my heart filled with rage as I opened up Crescent Rose and started slashing them consecutively without stopping until one by one they were all destroyed by my hand. I noticed their blood was different, their regular dark black aura they emitted was replaced with thick red blood. It stained my hands and blade with the blood of the fallen foes, whatever they were.
"Weiss! Weiss!" I yelled through the forest. No response. All of a sudden I heard a small noise coming from in front of me, though seemingly far far away.
"Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm right here Ruby." Weiss said. I started to tear up as I booked it as fast as I could through the snowy forest. Finally, I found her. Weiss was sprawled on the floor, blood stained the snowy ground around her as she lay there, motionless. I started to cry more now as I ran up to her.
"WEISS!" I screamed as loud as I could. All of a sudden, the setting changed around me as I witnessed a feint white glow of a person in front of me. She was holding me by the arms, but I couldn't make out who it was.
"Ruby. It's just a bad dream, snap out of it!" All of a sudden, I could see Weiss' face. She was shimmering a beautiful white light around her as she held on to me. I slumped into the glowing heiress as she held me tight, pulling her closer as I rested my head in her chest.
"Weiss, please don't ever leave me." I finally said as I laid in her body. I could feel her warm touch as she tried to pull me off of her. I clung on tight, afraid to lose her again forever. "No, don't go Weiss. Stay with me!" I said.
"It's okay," The goddess Weiss replied. "Just feel the warmth of my touch when you can't see me."
I nodded. "Okay." I complied as she pulled me off of her. I was starting to lose her in the darkness, but I kept searching hard for her light. Finally, I saw her glowing image again in front of me. I grasped it tightly, making sure not to lose it again.
"Weiss.." I said as I started to cry.
Present time.
I snapped back to reality as the alarm on my scroll went off, shutting it off as I went back into the dormroom. Non of my teammates were present, so I sat down on my bed as I waited. I forgot Weiss had my prescription, she put it in her pouch on her sache when we neared the dorms. About a few minutes later the white haired girl finally entered the room with the prescription bag in her hand.
"Sorry, I got sidetracked." Weiss stated as I jumped down from my bed.
"It's alright," I returned. "Let's just get this over with so I can sleep."
The heiress nodded as she put the bag on the dresser and opened it up, taking out a bottle and syringe. "W-Weiss. Where's my pills?" I questioned as she put the medicine down.
"They didn't have any other medicines that were strong enough for a girl your age or with major side effects, so they had to prescribe you this," The alabaster girl replied as she stuck the syringe in the bottle, filling it up with the clear drug as she pulled it out of the bottle and flicked it. "Now please, roll up your sleeve hun."
I started to panic, unsure of what to do. "W-wait Weiss, isn't there any place else you can inject it into me? The neck or the thigh or something?" I asked in a quick tone of voice. Weiss shook her head.
"No, it has to be in your arm. It's just what the doctor said," The snow white girl told me. I shook my head and held my hands out in fear. "Oh come on Ruby. I know needles are a little scary, but it's the only way and it will only be a quick minute."
Weiss put the needle down as she begun to wrestle with me. We got into a big hissy fight, smacking each other's hands as Weiss tried to roll up my sleeve. Finally, she grabbed hold of my arm and pushed the sleeve up, turning my arm around as her eyes widened in shock, and letting go soon thereafter.
"Oh m-my god Ruby. Y-you..."
I looked down in shame and pain as the heiress looked at my scars, my sectioned cuts all up my arm. Weiss grabbed my other arm and rolled that sleeve up, quickly letting go as she cupped her mouth in total shock, noticing tears form in her eyes.
"Oh my god Ruby, why would you do this?" Weiss asked in shock. "Why did you cut yourself?"
I got off the white haired's bed and paced around my side of the room. "Because, I am nothing! Look at my arms Weiss, they are clear images of what I am. I'm a mistake, a liar, a monster, and a fucking dyke. You want to know the truth? I suffer from clinical depression. I have to take sleeping pills, and antidepressants. Because I'm fucked Weiss, I'm fucked!" I begun. "I tried to hide my feelings so that no one would see me, no one would notice the regular girl with no problems. I made sure no one knew I was suffering, and I tried to hide the fact that I love you Weiss. I'm a lesbian alright?! There, go ahead and tell me you're disgusted and how you don't want to be near me anymore, go and tell everyone to stay the fuck away from me because I'm just some freak that likes other girls. Go ahead and tell everyone that I'm mentally unstable and that they should stay away because I'm some fucked up, queerbag, piece of shit MISTAKE!" I shouted, walking to the door as I opened it.
"I just wanted to be accepted."
I walked out of the door. Speed-walking my way to the stairs, I jumped them two at a time before reaching each twist. I finally made it to the top as I opened the door, tears forming in my eyes as I pulled my hood over my head. I walked up to the very edge of the roof, looking down from the three storey building.
NO! I'm not gonna jump. I'm not gonna do it and succumb to my thoughts' dark demeanour's. I will let fate and luck decide my next move. All I knew was that I wanted to be loved, that's all I wanted since day one of this struggle.
I just wanted to be loved...
Meanwhile (Weiss' POV).
I stood in shock and awe at the recent news. It pained me a lot to see the word 'MISTAKE' on her crush's wrist, it pained me even more to hear she was suffering from clinical depression. I thought of the look on Ruby's face when she told me. It was like a bunch of different emotions; happiness and enlightenment, but sadness and depression. And all that time I couldn't stop thinking I just wanted to hug her and tell her I loved her and I wanted to be there for her, despite her problems. That's when I remembered she was no longer in the room.
"Oh my god. RUBY!" I screamed as I ran out the door, finding a trail rose petals on the floor leading up the stairs. I followed the trail as fast as my semblance could shoot me, finally getting to the roof of the building and Throwing the door open as I seen Ruby stand there, on the corner of the building.
"No, Don't!-"
(Ruby's POV)
"I'm not going to jump." I told Weiss, interrupting her mid-point. A moment of silence dawned on us before I confessed. "I'm sorry I never told you about my clinical depression, I didn't know how to tell you and Blake and everyone else. I was afraid."
"Why were you afraid?" Weiss asked in an upset voice.
"I was afraid you and everyone else was going to see me as a broken person, I was afraid you'd think I was unstable and couldn't function properly. I was afraid to tell the truth so I hid it from everyone, I put on a fake personality that was spunky and energetic and hid the fact that I suffered alone." I answered.
"Are you afraid now?" Weiss asked, to which I shook my head in uncertainty.
"I don't care anymore. It's only gonna change how people see me, it's not going to cure my illness." I replied, turning around to face her. Though I kept my face down as to not let her see any more of my face, other than my wet cheeks.
"I'm also sorry I have a crush on you. I know it's dumb, seeing as you like Neptune. But I just found you attractive and cute when we first met. That's when I realized I loved you. I was afraid to tell you that as well, so I'm sorry."
I turned back around. "You probably see me as a freak now anyway, so I might as well tell you the truth before you transfer teams and never talk to me ever again, and avoid me."
I looked down to the entrance of the dorm's, leaning outwards as I did. "R-Ruby Don't!-"
"It's alright, I'm not going to commit suicide," I spoke, interrupting her again. "I'm just planning on going for a walk for a little while, to clear my mind while the night is fresh."
I turned around and walked slowly towards the door, passing by Weiss. I got about 2 feet away when Weiss finally said something I never thought would happen.
"I do love you Ruby."
I stopped dead in my tracks. A moment of silence hit us, then I turned around.
"It's okay Weiss, you don't have to pretend to be lesbian just to make me feel better. I know you like Neptune," I assured. "I'll be fine."
I turned back to the door and begun walking again.
"Ruby, I really do love you. I'm lesbian too." Weiss repeated.
"Stop lying to me Weiss, stop pretending to be a queer just to make me happy for a moment. I don't care that you aren't attracted to me but stop lying in front of my face." I demanded, this time with a little frustration in my tone.
I felt Weiss' hand push me to the wall and twist me around almost instantly afterwards. I tried to fight back, but Weiss secured my arms and body with hers. I was restrained against the wall beside the door, arms pushed to the sides of me as she moved in closer. Like a snake to a mouse.
"Would you believe I was lesbian if I did this?" Weiss asked. Her body finally touching mine as her head drew near. My eyes widened as she pressed her lips against mine. I let out a small moan as a last resort, trying to break free of her hold. But Weiss had me pinned. I finally succumbed as my eyes rolled to the back of my head. I let out another moan, this time in pleasure as I loosened my muscles and returned the passionate kiss. A moment or so went by and Weiss finally ended the kiss.
"So, do you believe me now?" The heiress asked again, with puppy-dogish eyes. She grinned slightly, knowing I was beat. I was stunned at her moves, Weiss really was telling the truth. I couldn't believe it. No, not yet.
"W-well, I don't know. I might need some more proof." I said, pulling her metaphorical leash. The ivory girl simply smiled and said 'Okay'.
This time the kiss was more compassionate, more aggressive. My eyes widened again as Weiss pushed her tongue into my mouth, jumping a little at the feeling. Weiss let go of my arms and pulled my body in more, leaving no more space left between us. I wrapped my arms around her neck as I returned the favour. The white huntress knew she made her point, I had nothing to go against her now. And for once in what I thought would never, ever happen. I was in love, happy and in love. I never thought today would be as crazy as I thought it would be, but I was glad it all worked out.
Weiss ended the kiss, but still hung on to me as I rested my head on her shoulder.
"I don't understand Weiss. I thought you liked Neptune?" I asked. I needed to know her reason. Weiss just let out a chuckle.
"Neptune's a dickhead. I thought I did, but the more I observed him the more I realized I really loved you more," Weiss answered, I was stunned. "I'm sorry I never told you. I was always afraid you'd see me as a queer."
I jolted my head up. "I thought you were gonna see me as one!" I exclaimed. Weiss smiled and disagreed with my assumption
I lowered my head back onto her shoulder. "I'm sorry I never told you about my clinical depression, my cuts and stuff. I was-"
"Shh-shh, it's okay Ruby. I understand. You were scared that I would see you differently than you wanted me to, you were lonely and depressed. It's okay," Weiss spoke, interrupting me. "But promise me one thing. Well, two things."
"What is it?"
"That if you ever feel down, lonely or depressed and you just want some consoling, that you come to me. I love you Ruby, it kills me to see you hurt, and it destroys me that you cut yourself. And I know you were hurting after the deed was done, but you were alone when it happened. I'm here for you, forever." Weiss said, making me cry as I nodded to her first promise.
"And the other thing?" I asked. Weiss smiled.
"That you give me a chance," Weiss stated, letting me go and holding my hands out as if proposing to me. "Ruby, will you go out with me? Make me the happiest girl alive? Love me forever and hold me tight in your heart?" She asked. 'Wow, that sounded like something out of one of Blake's novels.' I thought as I smiled, nodding to her question
"It would be an honour, Weiss."
I sat down on Weiss' bed and rolled up my sleeve again. The heiress rubbed alcohol around in a circle on my arm, adjusting it manually with her hand as she brought the needle to my elbow crease. "Just relax, you'll feel a small pinch." Weiss instructed. I nodded and she injected the syringe in my arm slowly. When it was in she pushed the little nob on top of the needle and the clear liquid left the small cylinder. I felt the drug coursing though my veins as the white clad girl pulled the needle out and pressed the spot with a small cotton ball.
"Can you keep pressure on it?" Weiss said calmly. I complied and held the ball on spot as she cleaned the syringe with a mixed solution of alcohol and special dust. The heiress then put all the supplies in the bag and sat next to me. I scooted closer in and leaned my head against Weiss' shoulder as she wrapped her arms around me, soon feeling the drug kicking in as my legs and arms started going numb.
"Weiss, would it be alright if I slept in your bed tonight?" I asked in a slurred tone of voice. Weiss nodded.
"You can sleep with me whenever you like sweetheart." Weiss confirmed.
Weiss pulled the blankets overtop as she wrapped her arms around me. "It's gonna be okay, I'll take care of you sweetheart." The heiress said as she gave me a quick kiss, resting her forehead against mine and smiling as I soon felt drowsy and my vision blurred. I shut my eyes and heard her last words as I fell into a deep sleep in her arms.
"I love you, Ruby Rose."
