Wish

Chapter 14

I'll be with you…

Alix had stayed by MaiAki side for the whole night, Batman as well. Gaara had to leave, due to something important; leaving the eerie silence that filled the room now, the only sound being made was the heart monitor.

She sighed softly; slow and shaky. She hated this.. She hated hospitals. There was no way she could lose 2 friends in the span of 2 weeks. She closed her eyes, trying to re-collect all the pieces that were slowly being pulled away, due to insanity. Batman's shifting feet was starting to annoy her, but it was to be expected.

This was all so much, too soon. She heard the door open and in came a medic. She gave a sympathetic look and gave a small bow.

"Excuse me, but visiting hours are over; I have to ask you to leave."

Alix sighed softly, standing up and taking one last glance at MaiAki before turning and walking towards the door. She stopped once reaching the door and whispering:

"..Please stay alive…"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Alix sighed, her eyes closed as she tried to pry the images of MaiAki out of her mind. It was slowly getting worse, her sanity was slipping from her. She knew that if MaiAki were to pass, that she would just snap, and she wouldn't know what she could possibly do.

She brought her knee's up to her chest, forehead resting on her knee's. Slowly, she took in deep breaths to try and calm herself, and apparently it wasn't working.

"Alix?"

Alix didn't move, she knew who it was, but if she looked at him right now, she would just break down crying again like the time when Mike died. Alix knew he wouldn't comfort her anyways; so why bother to break?

"The medics say she's getting better."

"…Chyea, like they said with Mike before he died?"

Hearing no response from him, she gave a bitter smile and looked up and at the sky. The two had been on this very roof when Mike died -- Why did it always come back to this place?

------------------

Gaara just stood there, watching her; trying to figure out exactly what he should do to… comfort her. He'd never comforted someone before, and to see someone he cared about, act like this, hell it hurt him. But him being the notorious Gaara, he wouldn't admit it to anyone. Sighing, he moved to stand beside her, only for a moment before he sat down.

"Crying wont save someone from death."

"Oh, thanks Gaara. I mean really. I'm in the worse possible shape and your fucking brining me down more! God damn it, why do you do this!" She was glaring at him now, her eyes filled with such pain and hate.

"I'm stating the truth."

-------

How could he be so calm, speaking to her like this? How… He was purposely doing it to make her feel worse. Sure it was the truth, but still, at least people would have the decency to say something comforting, no matter how little information they had on the topic.

"You don't even care. MaiAki is my sister, much like Mike was my brother. Your brother is dating her, and all you can do is sit there, look absolutely calm like it was normal to you… Y-your… Ugh!" She had to bite down on her lip, and look away. She was going to call him a monster, but she knew if she did, that it'd hurt him and they'd be on bad terms. She didn't want that.

Alix bit into her lip more, causing it to start to bleed.

"Death is what the cycle of life is. You should get used to it."

She stood up abruptly, almost causing herself to slip on the roof. Slowly, she turned around and started to walk towards the door. Too blinded by rage to jump off the roof and run. As she took 3 steps she felt something grab onto her arm and spin her around into something hard, almost recoiling back had it not been for something wrapping around her back and shoulders.

--------------------------------

He didn't know why he suddenly felt the urge to hug her, to make her happy again. He remembered her hugging him when he had told her his past, probably as a way to comfort him. She was still ridged against him, apparently not realizing that it was him holding her. It took about a minute before she slowly started to ease into him, her shoulders starting to shake.

She was crying. Crying against him.

He closed his eyes, resting his chin on her head and petting down her hair, sometimes running his fingers through the silky strands. She started to mumble words into his chest as she cried, but he couldn't really hear her, so when she asked questions, she just stayed silent… it probably would have been better like that anyways.

"She'll be fine…"

"..I… But.. What if she… dies? What will I do? I have… no one to.. Look towards.." The words were still mumbled, but he understood them nonetheless.

"I'll be with you."

Her breathing stopped, and he felt it, causing him to look at her face. She was blushing slightly. She nodded, and resumed to breath. "Thank you."

He gave a small nod, and pulled away from her, his right hand moving to brush away a stray tear. "You need sleep. I'll bring you to the hotel."

She gave a small smile. "I thought I told you… that it scares me, when you speak.. More than 6 words?"

"I'm in a good mood tonight, then."
