Yang paced around the waiting room, which was filled with empty chairs, except for Team WBY, who sat near the double doors their leader had gone through.
"She'll be fine, Yang." Blake tried to comfort her distraught partner.
"I know…" Yang said, "It's— it's just—"
"What is it, Yang?" Blake asked.
"There was just so much blood. What if she doesn't make it?"
"Then we can say that we did everything we could to save her." Blake stood, putting her hand on the blonde's shoulder. "You're right." Yang said, pulling her friend into a hug. "You're right."
After what felt like an eternity, the doctor came through the doors, prompting WBY to leap up from their seats, "Is she okay?" Yang asked.
"She's fine." He told her.
"Can we see her?"
"Unfortunately, no." Before Yang's semblance could flare up, he explained himself, "She needs her rest. Most people don't survive something like this. She's very lucky to be alive."
"Okay, we understand," Weiss said, leading her teammates out before Yang could kill the doctor.
The next day, after hearing of their friend's incident from WBY the previous night, JNPR made the collective decision to visit Ruby, seeing as there were no classes that day.
When they arrived, they found that WBY was already there, sitting around the room, each of them in deep thought. Jaune lightly tapped on the door as he walked in, gaining the three's attention. "Hey," he said, sounding emotionless, as he walked into the white and beige room, which had another room adjoined to it, which was rather large for a hospital room, and looked more like a hotel suite. (This is a real thing my Mom got, and you don't have to be rich!) He noted that Ruby was still unconscious. The girl was comfortably covered in white sheets, which went up to her chest, revealing a bit of the very light blue hospital gown she wore. Her face was mostly covered by an oxygen mask, which was connected to a rather large tin canister full of air. Running from her left hand was an IV, and on the opposite, the clamp for the heart rate monitor.
"How's she doing?" Pyrrha asked when she came in.
"She's been worse." Yang said, earning stares of disbelief from the monochrome members of RWBY. "But we don't talk about those times, so I'll just say she's lucky to be alive."
"Did they say when she'd wake up?" Jaune asked, sitting down on the opposite side of the bed from WBY.
"They said it might be a while," Yang said, looking down at the ground. "But she'll pull through. She's too strong."
After two weeks, Ruby still hadn't woken up, even after her heart stopped a few times. It scared Yang. She hadn't left Ruby's room for quite a while, and she didn't have to. Ruby had gotten a room with another room for guests adjoined to it. (Again, real thing) And Weiss and Blake were fine with getting their teammate food from the cafeteria. Jaune visited a lot, too. Ruby was his best friend, after all. And after two weeks, she regained consciousness.
"Yang?" Ruby asked hoarsely, struggling to sit up. Yang rushed over and helped her sister up, making sure she had something to support herself with. "Why are your eyes so red?" Ruby asked, looking as curious as she could with a mask on.
'Of course that's the first thing she'd ask. Of all things. She couldn't have asked how long she was out!' Yang thought, 'The answer is obvious.'
Yang looked down at the floor. "We thought you were going to die." She said, looking back up. "Your heart stopped. I was so worried."
"Do this… Nevermore!" Weiss said from the doorway, having returned from the cafeteria with Blake. "God dammit, Schnee!" Yang almost screamed, her eyes blood red, and her hair looking like my future. Bright. "Time and place! Hospital is not the right place! If you make another pun centered around my sister almost dying, I will personally disembowel you! I don't care what family you're from!"
A/N) It might be short, but I'm probably gonna play Fallout, and I've delayed this chapter too much!
