Kay don't kill me please. I feel horrible for not updating, but I'm finally enjoying my summer for once, since I've had summer school for the past 3 years. But at least I updated this story quicker than my other story, guess that a plus. I'm starting my own story on soon as well.

Thanks everyone for all your wonderful reviews, ya always brighten my day! This chapter is going to be a bit different, most of it is in the characters Point Of View, but I like writing that way better. Now without further adieu. Plushies and strawberry Pocky for all! And chapter nine of…

Ocean Blue Depths

Rei's P.O.V.

These tiles are still ice cold, even though I've been laying on them for a few hours. This whole place sickens me, its purely white walls…floors…ceilings, everything. It seems so bright, but there's no light at all. I'm still really dizzy, I can't seem to understand where I am at all. I just know…that Max isn't here. I miss him so dearly. Maybe another nap would do me some good.

The nap didn't last long, since I got here I haven't been able to sleep for very long. Or at least I don't think it's long, there are no clocks here. Just a bare white room, slightly padded walls, ice-cold tiled floor. And a white painted metal door. How I hate that door, nothing good comes through it, just more doctors.

The sick creepy doctors who come in here and take me away also wear white. My clothes are white as well. The only contrast to the white is my long black hair that isn't in its tie since they took it away. They put all those weird drugs in me, in what seems like the same white room, except this one has a long rectangular mirror in it. There's a cold steel bed with a white sheet that they tie my wrists, ankles and neck to.

The shots don't hurt so bad anymore, I think I'm getting used to them. They actually make me feel kind of nice since that's the only time I can get some sleep. But even in my sleep, I still can't forget about my Max. He wouldn't like this place, such a colorful person would surely die in here. No colors, none at all. Just black…and white. I'm feeling dizzy again…the black is taking the room away, maybe I'll have a sweet dream.

At the Orphanage (Tysons P.O.V.)

Max hadn't talked or done anything in a few days and I'm starting to worry. Actually now that I think of it, I've been worried since Max had cried himself to sleep the morning when Rei left and didn't wake up till the next afternoon. I may not be the smartest of the bunch but I know that if Max keeps this up, he's going to get himself sick.

Kai seemed worried, even though he wouldn't really admit to it. You can just tell ya know? Kenny said Max was in shock or something like that, and that's why he didn't wake up for so long. I trust what Kenny says, he is after all the brains in our little group.

I hope Rei is okay, they did say he was going to be alrite in that Clinic place, but that truck was so creepy! What if the whole place was like that. They could be running all sorts of test on him, and trying to turn his hair into pen ink! Oh pen ink you say? Well I always thought that Rei's hair looked like a liquid, kind of like ink from a really nice pen. It's all black and flowey, those monsters! That has to be it!

Actually I shared that theory already with Kai, he smacked me on the back of my head. Said something about them taking 'care' of Rei and certainly not trying to use his hair for ink of all things. I don't know though, we shall see in about 27 days when the month is over, whether or not Rei will be bald. And yes I have been counting, it's for Maxie, I bet he likes to know that the time is less each passing day.

Wonder if Maxie hasn't been talking again because he's to busy thinking about what the evil scientists are doing to Rei's pretty hair. I should go and have a chat with him later about that so he doesn't worry, Kai knows all and I'm sure Rei's hair will be fine.

That's it! I can go talk to Maxie! I bet he needs someone to cuddle with since Rei isn't here. When Rei left and Kai took Maxie up stairs to sleep, I started to cry and Kai came down then held me for a really long time till I fell asleep too. I know if Kai were in Rei's position I'd be clinging to Maxie like a koala bear. Now where is that boy? Oh right, he's probably up stairs in the rooms.

Max's P.O.V.

He left, and somehow I was surprised that he did. They always leave but I somehow had forgotten that with him. I just thought it was finally over, I was hoping that maybe I could be cared for by someone and actually return the feelings myself. Heh, stupid really.

Thinking I could ever really be loved by someone and have them stay with me. Just like Mom, and Richie, even Darian. Well actually I ran away from Darian, but he still found a way to hurt me I guess. He was the reason I came here after all, and right now I'm in more pain than he's ever inflicted on me.

Mom was ripped away by that bastard of a Father I had. He deserves his place in that damned prison. Richie was the only one I actually spoke to before Rei and my Mom. He really did care for me, even though all the care in the world couldn't save him from a cancer I guess. They let me out of the Orphanage once every week to see him, that was till he died.

And then came Darian. The guy was just not right. Mentally he figured that he should be the most respected person in the world, and when he wanted something, he got it. Sadly he happened to hate Richie with a passion, but liked me. He wanted me not to love, but to use. So naturally he put on his façade and tricked me into liking him. I would practically do anything just to feel like I was loved just a little.

I don't know how I put up with it for so long. Through all the times he'd hit me, and then say sorry, I would always forgive him. I was such a stupid kid…I still am a stupid kid. I might as well just shut up and die alone. Then maybe I can be with Mom and Richie again.

I must look so pathetic just sitting in here on my bed for days on end. No body has bothered to talk to me. I was right that no one could ever care for me. I can barley feel anymore, it doesn't even register to me as my feet walk towards the open window in the room. The day looks the same as it was when they took Rei from me. It's starting to rain finally.

It feels nice, the icy cold drops hitting my face as it splashes against the windowsill. Lets me know that I am actually still alive, and I can feel things.

General View

"Maxie? Hey Maxie where are you…oh." The question seemed to be so much louder in such a quiet room. "Max, what are you doin over there? Your going to catch a cold that way buddy." Tyson said a little sadly. He knew that Max didn't care if he got sick now. All he wanted was Rei.

Tyson went up to the blonde and gave him a hug from behind. He felt the smaller boy's muscled tense at the contact, but that just made Tyson squeeze the blonde a little harder. "I know you miss Rei, Maxie but you cant just stay up here forever. The rest of the guys are worried sick about you, and believe me Hilary is a total wreck about this whole thing." Tyson spoke in a low tone to the blonde. He didn't really expect an answer from him but he just continued anyway. "We all miss Rei too, but we want you to be okay also. Since he's not here rite now, were the ones who have to take care of you for him, alright." Tyson said in a claming way.

Tyson looked over the blondes shoulder to see his face, which seemed to get sadder than before he started. The only thing Tyson could think of that the boy would get so upset about, just happened to be that absolute last thing on the blondes mind. "Don't worry Maxie, Rei will still have hair when we go visit him soon. He's got to much hair to turn it all into ink in just a month." Tyson finished with a triumphant smile as he walked back to the door. Max just stared at the bluenette like he was crazy.

"Come on Maxie, the gang wants to see you downstairs pronto!" Tyson waved to the blonde and headed down stairs. ' He's gone insane. Poor Tyson, and here I thought I took it hard.' The blonde followed the now insane Tyson downstairs to see the rest of his family.

Rei's P.O.V.

Someone's carrying me, back to my room I suppose. The person isn't warm at all, it's actually unnerving to have someone touch me. My neck hurts a lot, it feels like a vampire sucked my dry. I've been so weak since I got here, I couldn't run away if I tried.

I hope I'm not like this when the others come to see me, I really wouldn't want them to worry about me. I'm starting to wonder what all these drugs are doing to me, I haven't eaten since yesterday I think. I don't really know anymore, all the days are starting to blend together

Well I know I'm back in my room at least now, the doctor just laid me down in front of the door on the inside of my room, I'd know these tiles anywhere. I suppose I should crawl back to my lovely corner, but it seems pointless. But that's when I hear it, what is that noise? Tapping? Yeah I'm pretty sure it is. But usually this room is completely silent, its soundproof or something. Then what's the noise?

I guess opening my eyes would be a good idea, but I'm just so tired. Think I'll just lay here a bit and listen. The sound is actually pretty rhythmic, there's some other noises too. I can't quite place them though. I hear breathing, but it could just be my own. Seems course though considering I'm barley breathing at all.

I'm starting to think its just the drugs they shot into my neck, I don't hear the tapping anymore. But I still hear that breathing, it's louder now. In..out..in..out..wait I feel that. Its not my breathing, there's someone here, just above me. I feel the whiteness of the room burn my eyes as they shoot open, and I see the blurry figure looming over me.

My eyes cant seem to clear though, and the figure sits perfectly still over me, what's going on? I try and ask who it is, but my voice is lost somewhere in my throat. I blink my eyes a few times and the room seems to stand still long enough for me to look at the figure above me rather clearly. A boy?

Snowy white hair, and piercing green eyes were the first thing I took in. he seems a bit pale and really scared. Though I think I should be the scared one. I just stare up at him while he stares back. He looks like he hasn't seen anyone in a long time, or I look like an old friend of his. Sadly I think it's the first. He looks about my age, maybe a year or so younger, like Max.

He finally moves and I watch him as he leans back from his knees and sits on his legs. I almost missed it at first, but he spoke as well. I believe he asked who I was. I simply stare. I try and talk again and get a small noise from my throat. It hurt a lot to try and talk but I did it anyway. I needed to find out why he was in here all of a sudden. "M-my name is Rei." I had to pause real quick, it took more effort than I ever would have thought just to talk.

"You?" not exactly what I wanted to ask, but all I could really manage at the moment. He seemed to smile a bit as I tried to prop myself up on my elbow to look at him better while he answered. "The names Cutter."

TBC

Okay I hope everyone enjoys, at least a little. Sorry if you guys don't like the character point of views, tell me if it was to confusing.

Oh yeah and Cutter is my own character, so uhh, nobody steal him without permission, kay! X3 Anyhoo, I want to update this one within the week with my other story. So I'll see ya again soon, thank your readers!
