Yup, this chapter is a little sad, but don't worry too much.

Chapter 10: Good-bye my lover

It was Wednesday morning, and Elphaba hadn't heard from Fiyero since Monday morning. She worried about him, but mostly she was concerned that he had second thoughts about them since Glinda was back. Elphaba couldn't be less thrilled that Glinda was back, and sharing a room with her. Elphaba didn't want to ask Glinda about Fiyero, she thought it would have been awkward.

--

The Next day at school, and still no word from Fiyero, Elphaba wondered off to class. She really had no other friends than Fiyero, so she didn't know whom to ask about his whereabouts. She approached the doors to her life sciences class, but there was a large crowd gathering at the door. Elphaba pushed her way through, to see what everyone was staring at in awe. Finally she made her way to the front to see a flyer attached to the door.

'Come Join with Fiyero Tiggular and Glinda Upland as they celebrate their Marriage on this upcoming Saturday. Anyone who is anyone is invited.'

Elphaba rubbed her eyes twice, to see if she was reading this correctly. Suddenly tears were forming at her corners of her eyes, she couldn't stop them from running down her face. Each one of the tears burned her green skin. Eventually the crowd disappeared into their classes. Not Elphaba she stood there bewildered and dejected, she stared at the flyer, unable to move.

"Hi Elphaba…" said a guilty sounding voice from behind her. She turned around, Fiyero stood facing her. He looked different, as though he hadn't slept for days. There were dark circles under his blood shot eyes, and his normally neatly kept hair was all out of sorts.

"Fiyero…uh where have you been?"

"Out. Look Elphaba we need to talk…" he said almost monotone.

"About how you're getting married to Glinda on Saturday?!?"

"How did you know?"

"There's a flyer on the door of my classroom."

"Good. Then you know. I'll be on my way. Good-bye Miss. Elphaba" Fiyero turned his back to her, this was killing him, but he couldn't stop. Glinda did something to him, he still thought his own thoughts but Glinda's spell, made him say what she wanted him to say. Which was completely opposite to what he was thinking. He knew how much this was going to hurt Elphaba. He couldn't stop it, it truly was killing him. The spell kept him up all night, he couldn't sleep and when he did he had nightmares.

"Fiyero! What is wrong with you?"

"nothing!"

"You're not acting like yourself."

"Or maybe I'm more like myself than ever." He looked down at his feet.

"Fiyero, your eyes are bloodshot, you look as though you haven't slept for days."

"You don't need worry about me…I..I am..uh…" Fiyero began to stutter over his words.

"Fiyero, I thought I made it clear that I love you. I don't want you to be sick. I need to know what is happening."

"Just leave it alone! Leave me alone!" He shouted. He began to lose his balance and he fell to the ground and began to seizure on the floor.

"Fiyero!" Elphaba dropped to the ground and tried to hold him, he continued to shake for a few minutes then suddenly he stopped, and was still.

"Fiyero?"

There was no answer from him. Elphaba put her head to his chest there was no heartbeat. Elphaba began to panic, and started screaming for help. A couple faculty workers came to Fiyeros aid, one of which preformed CPR on him. His heart wouldn't start. The spell that Glinda cast upon Fiyero had begun to really work. She stopped his heart emotionally and physically.

"What's happening to him!" Elphaba shrieked.

"I don't know!" Yelled a Faculty member of Shiz named Mr. Apricot.

Mr. Apricot continued breathing air into his lungs, but still no sign of life. Elphaba stood back in horror as the love of her life was dying.

"Come on Fiyero!" Mr. Apricot said terrified.

"Please do something!"

"I'm trying!"

"Do something!"

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"Well it's obviously not working!"

Mr. Apricot ignored Elphaba and paid more attention to the young dying prince. He tried a couple more times to revive him, but had no luck. He was dead. Mr. Apricot backed away from Fiyero's body and looked at Elphaba and the others crowded around him.

"He's dead…" Mr. Apricot expressed. "I'm so sorry…"

"No! no he's not!" Elphaba was in tears, she ignored the burns.

"I go talk with Madame Morrible…"

"No, he can't be! He's just playing a stupid joke on me! He just has a sick sense of humor! He's not dead!"

Elphaba collapsed to the ground next to Fiyero and stroked his hair.

"Fiyero? It's me, Fae. Please wake up, Fiyero!"

He was motionless.

"Fiyero? You can't leave me alone! Who do you think are!" A couple other teachers grabbed Elphaba's arms, but Elphaba shrugged them off.

"Leave me alone!" The teachers were relentless, they pulled Elphaba up and dragged her away from Fiyeros lifeless body. Elphaba was screaming and kicking. A couple teachers went to pick up his body.

"He's not dead! Look!" Elphaba pointed to Fiyero, he was breathing again. Elphaba ran over to her lover and checked his pulse, there was still no beat.

"How can this be?" Said one of the female staff.

"He's alive, but his heart isn't beating…" Elphaba explained. "He's gone into some sort of coma."

--

The two female teachers, Mrs. Cowdice and Ms. Haines, dropped Elphaba off at her dorm room. Glinda was sitting up on her bed, doing her nails. Elphaba was furious. Glinda looked up at Elphaba and smiled.

"Trouble?" Glinda smirked.

"I'm going to kill you!" Elphaba threw herself at Glinda and attacked her. "What did you do to him?!?"

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Don't bullshit me Glinda!" Elphaba pinned Glinda against the wall. "What did you do to Fiyero? I know you did something!"

"How did yo…"

"Glinda! I need to know! Glinda you put him in a coma!

"What? How?"

"Whatever you did to him, stopped his heart!"

"Oh my…"

"I need to know what you did, so I can reverse it!"

"I can't believe it…it was just a stupid spell. I was so furious that he was with you, and I cast a spell with the help a book I found in Madame Morrible's office. I put a spell on him to control this conscience. Well, he could still think his own thoughts, but he only acted out what I wanted him too. That's how I got him to propose to me…and…."

"You're a monster!"

"I'm sorry Elphaba, but I couldn't stand seeing him with you. The fact of losing him to you was unbearable!"

"So you'd rather watch him die than see him with me?"

"I didn't think this would have happened!"

"Glinda, you're not experienced in spells of that magnitude. You probably destroyed his heart, somehow!"

Glinda burst out in tears, and ran to give Elphaba a hug, but Elphaba pushed her away. "Glinda…I loved him." Glinda looked at Elphaba sympathetically. "You stole away the one person I cared about from me. How can I ever forgive you…"

"But he's only in a coma!"

"Only in a coma?" Elphaba was livid by this point.

"What I mean is, what if I help you find a spell to reverse what happened to him. You know get his heart beating again."

"We need to find that book you used."

"Right."

They stood there awkwardly for a few minutes until Glinda finally spoke. "You mean right now?"

"Yes right now."

They got their shoes on and were heading off to Madame Morrible, Glinda stopped Elphaba.

"Elphie…you know that he loves you…"

"I know"

"He told me that before I put the spell on him. He truly loves you. When he gets out of that coma, and he will. He's yours."

Muhahahahahah, I'll be updating soon!
