Hey guys...I'm sorry it took so long for this...Everything just sorta hit me at once
With the funeral and everything.
I've been slowly getting better and realizing that everything will be okay.
Thank you so much to all the prayers and reviews you guys gave me and his family. It really means a lot.
You guys are so absolutely amazing! Hopefully I did an okay chapter... The song used...Wanted by Hunter Hayes.
I hope you guys like it!

"Soul, where are we going?" I ask as I look at him from the passenger seat of his family's mini van.
"It's a surprise…" He smirks at me as he glances from the road to my face.
"Soul…you know I hate surprises." I growl darkly as I cross my arms and look out my window.
So far…all I can tell is that we're someplace I've never been, a part in the city I'm guessing. We've only been driving half an hour or something like that, and every building here looks abandoned or incredibly useless…
"Soul…your not going to turn out to be a serial killer that takes his girlfriends out to creepy building and murder them are you?" I ask with a cheesy smile.
He chuckles darkly… "You'll just have to wait and find out little angel." He takes the hand that's not on the wheel and caresses my cheek.
I smack his hand away while laughing.
"Knock it off, are we almost there?" I ask and he laughs.
"Yeah here we are." He says and parks the van in the middle of a parking lot. I look up and see the building is old and parts of the walls are chipping.
"Erm…I don't mean to sound rood or anything…but this is kind of creeping me out. What if it's haunted or something? Or…or what if the police catch us!? Than my parents will know I'm missing and I'll probably be on the news! And than mama will think I'm even more worthless and I'll never be able to get out of DeathCity because of my bad record! And-"
A warm hands rest on my lower back and pulls me into an even warmer body.
"Maka…chill out. I own the place…I bought it a while ago. Saved up some money and this…they were selling it for a really good price. After I bought this I still had money left over and bought that piece of crap motorcycle that's still not running right. The cops can't do anything. And your parents will never find out. Trust me."
Soul smiles that ghost of a smile at me and my heart calms down.
"Okay…" I trail off as he takes my hand and leads me into the building. We get to the front door….or what I think is even a door….and he kicks it open.
I flinch at the loud noise it causes.
"Sorry…this door has always been a pain in my ass." He smirks and I roll my eyes gripping his hand a little tighter as he leads me in.
"Wow…I haven't been here in so long." He mummers.
"Really? Why?" I ask.
"Because I never had a reason too, watch your step." He says grabbing my waist and lifting me up a step.
"Well this is it." he says…I'm not even sure where it is…how can he see in the dark so well? I can't see a thing other than little outlines of things.
"Um…where is it? What is it? Huh?" I say confusing myself.
Soul laughs and kisses me lightly.
"I had my old piano brought here a quit a while ago…I used to sneak out every night or early in the morning before school and play…but I just stopped." He said and I raised an eye brow.
"Why?" I whispered.
"Because I forgot my muse…I forgot why I played. But you….you Maka, you brought it back. You're my new muse." I see him smile as he leans down to press a very long slow kiss to my lips.
I wrap my arms around his waist and hold him close to me…never wanting to let go…I've never been so happy…I like it.
"C'mon…I want to play for you." He says and I giggle.
"Okay…" I trial off as his hand reaches out for the door knob.
"Wait Soul!" I say and he snaps back to me.
"What are you alright!?" He asks.
"Yes I'm fine…I just wanted to say that I love you."
"I love you too angel."
He opens the door and a small light is on what I'm guessing is the black piano.
"How can you even play when its this dark?" I ask still holding his hand.
"Well…."
He says and flicks something…than the whole room glows with a beautiful light.
I look up and see a chandelier above the shiny instrument.
"Wow." Is all I say.
"The chandelier cost a little extra…but it was worth It." he smirks as he walks over to the bench and pulls off the cover on the piano.
I look around the room and see it wasn't as messy as I thought it would be. Wooden floors with black and deep red curtains on the windows. There was a chair in the corner of the room and a black and white couch in the middle of the room.
The piano was just as I suspected…a brilliant black with pure white keys that looked like they've never been touched. The chandelier above the piano as it sits just to the left of center room.
I meet Soul's gaze as I catch him staring at me.
"Do you like it?" He asks with a little bit of hope filling his words.
"Soul…" I breathe…. "It's absolutely beautiful."
He smiled that real smile…the rare one that I dream about.
He nods his head and motions for me to sit next to him. I do it without a second thought.
Every thought slips my mind as I feel him grab my hand and press a kiss to it…it felt so much different than the time Wes kissed it…it was better and felt more real…the thoughts about home and my parents were gone…the thoughts about Kidd and the girls gone…the thoughts about college and the world….gone.
Everything was so peaceful….so wonderful…as if me and Soul left Death CityNevada and went to our own private world… I was free.
"I haven't played for anyone in years…I might be a little rusty…" he says nervously and I smile gently.
"I'm sure you'll be amazing." I whisper and he gulps and looks at he keys.
He just stares and stares…
"Soul…you don't have to play if you don't want to…" The excitement that's been bubbling dwells down a little bit and sadness fills it.
"No…I'm going to play…but…erm…I wrote this piece for you a while ago…before I met you, I know that sounds a little weird but…it means a lot to me and I really hope you like it." He says and pulls up his sleeves and the excitement bubbles right back up.
He presses the first few keys and my heart already swells with joy.
I listen to the beat of the music and than my eyes snap to his face as he opens his mouth and sings…well that was unexpected.
"You know I'd fall apart without you I don't know how you do what you do."
He sings and I nearly faint at how sweet and perfect his voice is…it's amazing…
"'Cause everything that don't make sense about me Makes sense when I'm with you,
Like everything that's green, girl I need you, But it's more than one and one makes two, Put aside the math and the logic of it You gotta know you want it too,"
His fingers glide across the keys as I watch ad listen with fascination. I'm in complete awe and my heart won't stop pounding louder and louder as I listen to the lyrics that come out of his mouth.
"'Cause I wanna wrap you up Wanna kiss your lips I wanna make you feel wanted And I wanna call you mine Wanna hold you hand forever Never let you forget it Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted!"
His eyes open and he looks to me and I blush as he smiles. He never stops playing, he didn't look away from me until I couldn't take it and tore are gaze away to watch his fingers.
"Anyone can tell you you're pretty You get that all the time, I know you do, But your beauty's deeper than the makeup And I wanna show you what I see tonight,"
He sings and I feel my face heat up even more…Everything inside my stomach and chest are bubbling over and I feel like a huge mushy gushy slop of love and other crap…It's the first time I've ever felt like this and its scary…but in a good way.
I look back up to Soul to see his eyes closed as he belts out the chores.
"When I wrap you up, When I kiss your lips, I wanna make you feel wanted, And I wanna call you mine, Wanna hold you hand forever Never let you forget it 'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted!"
I feel tears in my eyes and I wipe them away quickly to make sure he doesn't notice and stop the beautiful song.
"As good as you make me feel I wanna make you feel better, better than your fairy tales, better than your best dreams, you're more than everything I need, you're all I ever wanted, All I ever wanted!"
He noticed…but he didn't stop…he stopped playing with one hand and wiped my check than winked as he brought both of his hands down to the piano keys and snag loud and hard.
"And I just wanna wrap you up Wanna kiss your lips I wanna make you feel wanted and I wanna call you mine Wanna hold you hand forever Never let you forget it Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted!"
I give up trying to hold in my tears…this is the best thing I've ever heard… I look to him one more time and meet his red eyes as he plays by memory and sings softy to me.
"Yeah, baby I wanna make you feel Wanted 'Cause you'll always be wanted."
Than he presses the last few notes and the song ends.
I throw my hands around his neck and kiss him long and hard.
I've never felt this…um…Wanted before. I can't believe this is real…he wants me.
I feel him wrap his arms around my waist and pull me onto his lap kissing me just as hard and with just as much love and passion I'm kissing him with.
Our tongues battle for dominance…but of course he won…again…He might have one the battle…but I got the prize….him.
I pull away and wipe my blushing wet face.
"God Soul…that was beautiful…I'm not even sure what to say…that was so amazing and I'm sorry for crying…I'm being such a baby…I love the song and I love you…god I love you so much!"
I say to fast I'm surprised he caught it.
I giggle as I pull him into a kiss again…
"I love you to Maka…I always have." He whispers to me in our own little world.
Dedicated to my Best Friend...
