Chapter Thirty Seven

FIGURING

The light shone the gaps in the trees.

This place was really familiar somehow…

Like everything was all just a distant dream.

Something triggered my mind. I kicked a tree.

What the hell did I just do?

Did I just walk away obediently just because they told me to?

I've been screaming the shit at them to tell me about the past and when Dad finally says something, Mum tells me to walk outside and I did?

AM I STUPID? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?

I collapsed at the bottom of the tree, sighing.

"I… Am officially going mad."

How many goddamn times have I said that already?

I sat there for a few minutes until standing up, hands on hips.

"Mmk. What to do now? The atmosphere is pretty good so guess I'll just need to loosen up here. For a bit."

I stretched and noticed something on the tree.

"What… Is this..?"

Roughly engraved on the surface of the tree were two words.

"Together… Forever..?"

"Promise me…"

"Promise me…"

The voice echoed in my head.

I slumped back down. My legs felt like jelly.

So much…. Promises to keep…

I felt something vibrate in my pocket. I got out my phone and picked up.

"Hello?"

"Maka? Where are you? I haven't seen you around in days!"

"Ace… There's so… Much things happening right now…"

"…Maka? What's wrong?"

"Soul's stuck in hospital with heart disease and it's all… My fault…"

"What? Soul has heart disease? That can't be your fault!"

"Something happened… Now he's like that..! What am I supposed to do..?"

I'm breaking down… Looks like I couldn't keep smiling until the end.

"Maka?"

"Y-Yeah..?"

"Are you… Crying..?"

"Stupid…" I wiped my face. "I'm not crying…"

Ace didn't say anything for a while.

"Well I gotta go. Take care of yourself, yeah Maka?"

I sniffed. "Yeah… Catch you later."

There was a 'click' and I hanged up.

I sighed, leaning back on the tree. Ace sounds alright…

Huh. Since when did I become such a crybaby?

This… Is all because of you, Soul.

Night was falling and I picked myself up from the ground, walking back the way I came on the deserted road.

Someone please make some sense out of everything…

BEEEP BEEEEEEEPP!

I stared at the blinding light.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

I hit hard against the grass on the side of the road.

Feels like déjà vu…

"Idiiiiiot! I told you that you can change fate and shit and that either Soul or you has to die AND I get that you don't want him to die but it doesn't mean jumping in the middle of the road hoping to get crushed by a car!" exclaimed Death.

"HEY! I WAS N'T LOOKING FOR A WAY TO DIE! I WAS JUST ZONING OUT!"

"Zoning out in the middle of the road!"

Something flashed through my mind. Like a memory.

"I've decided." I said.

Death looked at me.

I held out my hand. "Take me to where Soul is."
