Small Town Girl Chapter 14: I Love You, a soul eater fanfic

I Love You

Soul's POV

I slammed Kid against the wall out of frustration and anger at him, but he just gave a blank expression told me that just pissed me off.

"I freaking trusted you Kid! Then you go and do that with Maka, after everything I told you!" I shouted.

"Soul you need to calm down." Kid said and I slammed him again on the wall.

"How could you do that to me!? I trusted you!"

"I know, which is why I didn't do anything with Maka besides let her take her mind off some things."

"No! I saw what you did! You sang to her and kissed her hand! Don't you dare tell me that was nothing!"

Suddenly shoved me off him as I took a few steps back. Then he pinned me against the wall and was looking at me serious.

"I'll let in you on all secret Soul, that I never planned to tell you but I think I will this time! I loved Maka from the moment we met her! It was love at first sight for me, but she had her eyes on only you and vice versa for you! Now being one of your best friends I decided to let you have another shoot of love, so I stayed on the side lines!" Kid shouted.

"Kid . . ." I spoke and he slammed me on the wall again.

"But then you had to go and ruin every freaking chance you had with her! I tried so hard to get you to realize that she was different and that you could actually have a happy and meaningful life with her! But you kept pushing her away and she had decided to give up on you! So I decided to try to make her feel better, which is why I planned this whole fake date thing and sang to her, to make her feel better in the first place!"

As Kid explained this to me, I felt him let go of me. I began to process everything he said to me and then looked back at him with concern eyes.

"Why didn't you ever tell me, you had feeling for her?" I asked.

"Because I wanted you to have another chance at love . . . I don't need a girl in my life right now . . . I noticed every time you were with her, you slowly began to change little by little . . . It was because of her that you began to smile more often and began to love music again! But I decided now that I won't hold back, if you intend to keep pushing her away Soul! Maka deserves a happy ending . . . but now I don't think it's with you." Kid said and I immediately pinned him to the wall again.

"Don't you dare screw with me Kid! I love Maka! I don't care if you try to steal her away, because now I've decided to stop running away and face what's in front of me and look forward to the future! My future is and will always be Maka! You're one of my best friend's Kid, but I can't let you take her from me!" I shouted and then he pointed at me.

"There's your answer Soul! You finally admitted you love her! Now stop being the jack ass you know you're not anymore and became the man Maka loves!"

I stared in awe as Kid said that to me and I let go of him. I looked him straight in the eyes and we both grinned and fist bumped each other. We went back inside the hospital and went to Maka's room where everyone was standing, or sitting watching over her. There was complete silence in the room, except for her heart monitor, that just slowly beeped. It has been three days now, since the accident and the doctors say she only had a few cracked rips and that she'd have a hard time walking if she gets up, but in time she'll heal. However, they also said that it now all depends whether or not Maka decided to wake up.

Her heart has stopped about already three times in the past three days, which was not a good sign. It sucked that I couldn't see her beautiful eyes open and her beautiful smile. It pained me, not know if she would wake up! I wonder if she felt the same pain when I was in the hospital bed and she was sitting right next to me, always by my side. Suddenly everyone decided to get some food, but I stayed here as they left. I took her cold and delicate hands in mine and stared at her sleeping face.

"Tonight we have a concert Maka . . . All your fans and friends are waiting for you to recover . . . I'm waiting for you Maka . . . There's so much I have to tell you, that I should have told you a long time ago . . ." I said and I gently placed a kiss on her hand hoping she could somehow feel it.

"I lied to you about feeling nothing . . . There was always something there between us and I just tried to deny it because I was afraid . . . of hurting you . . . or even losing you . . . But once you wake up, I won't run away anymore! I'll always be by your side Maka, now and forever . . . I love you and I'll be waiting for you . . ." I spoke again.

Suddenly Stein walked in and told me it was time for us to go and left the room. I gave one look at Maka and leaned close and kissed her on the lips before leaving. I promise Maka, I won't ever hurt you again like I did and that everything will be alright again!

. . . . .

"Hey guys, it's great to be here tonight! As you know Maka has been in a terribly accident and is currently in the hospital recovering . . . So tonight this concert is dedicated to her to let her know our hearts and prays go out to her tonight! So please enjoy the performance!" I shouted to the mic and I could hear some people cheering and crying.

(Don't Jump by Tokio Scream)

I listen to the music and held the mic in both my hands as I began to sing.

On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now
The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found

As I sang I began to imagine Maka standing on top of a building in a white flowing dress as the wind blows her beautiful hair.

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump

Now I see her walking to the ledge of the building and closing her eyes. I began to sing louder and with more pain as I sing.

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow falls quietly
You just can't feel it no more
Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

She slowly opens her eyes again and lifts her hands out like their wings. I imagined myself running up the flights of stairs running to her.

Now I see myself at the top of the building and Maka turns back to me, giving a dead expression on her face. I felt myself running to her, but then she quickly takes on foot and falls off the building, but quickly holds on the side of the building as I look down at her.

I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long

Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump

I see myself reaching a hand to her and she stares at it unsure of what to do or say. I have this pain look on my face, but all she could do was smile and mouth the words I'm sorry to me and . . . She let's go . . .

I started to sing with all my heart, feeling all the pain and emotions running through me. I can see in my head Maka in slow motion falling. Then I see myself jumping off and trying to reach her hand . . . I saw her looking up to me and trying to reach my hand too as we fall to the ground, but then the image fades and the song ends . . . unknowing if we reached each other.

"Alright I've got one more song for you guys tonight, so here it goes!" I shouted.

(Here Without You by 3 Doors Down)

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I sang my heart out on this verse and felt all of my emotions running through me as I think of Maka . . .

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah.

I turned next to me imagining Maka was actually next to me smiling. She wouldn't say anything, but her smile made my heart ache so much inside.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh, yeah, yeah

I turned back to the crowd and sang again looking at them as if I'm in pain of losing someone important . . . which was truly what I was feeling.

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, its only you and me

I looked next to me again, to see an imaginary Maka walking away and turned back at me and smiled.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go (oh whoa)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (oh whoa)
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love, whoa, oh, oh

As Maka walked away she slowly began to vanish and I closed my eyes trying to hold the pain inside.

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

Once the song ended I waved to the crowd who cheered, cried, and clapped for or performance as we exit the stage. I need to get back to Maka as soon as I can!

Maka's POV

"How was the broadcast Miss?" A nurse said and I had tears in my eyes.

"It was unexpected and most of all . . . beautiful . . ." I replied and the nurse left.

I had woken up the moment Soul apparently left. The nurse came up and found me in tears. She asked if I was in pain and began to cry even more . . . I had heard everything Soul had said when I was in the coma . . . I could hear and feel everything and I guess all the emotions got to me the moment I woke up . . . Suddenly the door open and I saw a familiar face . . .

"Are you ready Maka?" The person said and all I could do was nod.

Soul's POV

We quickly rushed our way to the hospital. I didn't really want to leave her side, but I knew she would want me to go tonight. Everyone went to go and sign in as I went on ahead to the room. Once I opened the door my eyes widen! I saw an empty room and slowly looked around. Suddenly a nurse came in.

"Excuse me do you know what happened to the patient that was staying in this room?" I questioned.

"Oh I'm sorry hun, but she checked out already . . ." The nurse replied.

"Checked out!?"

"Soul!" Liz shouted and I turned to my friends with a sad expression on their face as they handed me something

It was a note from Maka! I quickly began to open it and began to read the letter . . .

Dear everyone,

I woke up as you can see, but by the time you read this I will have already left . . . As I was in a coma I could hear everything everyone had said to me and felt everything . . . I am truly happy to have such amazing and wonderful friends and band members like you, but . . . because of the state I'm currently in I don't want anyone to see me for now. . . I'll admit I have a hard time breathing and walking but there's no need to worry since a friend is taking care of me right now . . . I'm sorry to cause you all to worry about me, but I can assure you I'm fine and that I will come back before our next concert . . . Now I speak only to Soul . . . Part of the reason I left was because, for me to face you right now would cause me confusion, happiness, and possibly love . . . There are things I need to work out right now in my life and I need to do this on my own . . . But when I came back will talk about . . . us . . . I want you to know though that I'm not mad or upset with anymore and I heard and felt everything you did . . . I will miss you, but the next time we see each other, let's greet with warm smiles, instead of giving the cold shoulder to each other, ok?

Love, Maka Albarn

I walked pasted everyone and just decided to go back to the bus . . . I said I'd wait Maka and if this is what you want, then I'll wait for you to return to my side . . . but just know when you do return, I don't plan on letting you go ever again . . .
