Soul p.o.v.
Maka's eyes roll to the back of her head and she collapses.
"Oh shit!" I yell. So many thoughts rush through my brain. Did she just die? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Wait! She just twitched! She's alive! Cut it out Soul, calm down. You can do this, focus. Stay calm. You can do this. You can do this. What if she died in the three seconds I was thinking to myself. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Wait! She's breathing!
I slap myself in the face. Cut it out! Its ok, just sew up her wound. I've never sewn up skin before, I've only ever sewn band patches to my jean vest. I hold the needle and thread tightly in my hands and take a deep breath. I can do this.
I poke the small needle into her skin and I start to sweat like crazy. Her bleeding hasn't slowed down very much so I gotta do this quickly. I make a zigzag pattern in her skin, hoping that's what I'm supposed to do. Once I finish I bite the thread to cut it off the needle and tie a small knot. I then grab the bandage again and pull her into a sitting position. Her, seemingly dead but still alive luckily, body falls onto me and I almost fall over. I position her so that her neck is on my shoulders so I can wrap the bandage around her. She almost falls off a few time but I always seem to catch her. Once I finish, I take a deep breath and lie her back down on her bed. I then cover her body up to her neck with a blanket because her gown is too covered in blood for her to wear. I sit in the chair and sigh. I hope that never happens again.
...
Maka p.o.v.
I open my eyes and feel a stinging pain come from my chest. I remove the blankets and see a bandage covering my chest below my breasts. The last thing I remember is Soul being embarrassed to hold my hand. Wait, I was wearing a hospital gown before I fell asleep. Where did it go. I look to my side and see it lying on the floor, covered in blood. What the hell happended. I try sitting up but feel light headed and fall back onto my back.
"Take it easy there dear" A voice says. I look over and see the nurse walk towards me.
"What happended?" I ask her, covering myself with the blankets again.
"While I was on a quick break, your stitches in your chest fell out somehow and your chest began to bleed. Luckily your friend Soul was with you all night and was able to stitch you up again. He saved your life. I guess you forgot what happended because of all the blood loss" She says.
"Really? Wow. Where is he?"
"In class. He told me everything that happened and said that he'll be back after school is finished"
"Wow, thanks nurse-"
"Medusa"
I smile.
"Thanks nurse Medusa. Just wondering, what time is it?"
"Its almost three thirty. School will be ending in five minutes"
"Ok thanks"
I rest my head on my pillow and shut my eyes.
"How's my Maka doing?" A voice says, slightly scaring me. I open my eyes and see my father looking at me. I sigh.
"Hey dad." I say grumpily.
"Did you have a good rest?"
"Sure I guess." I reply. I'm not going to tell him what happended because I know he will freak out.
"Dear, why aren't you wearing your gown?" He asks me, looking at my bare shoulder that I forgot to cover with a blanket.
"Well, this morning, I woke up and Soul-"
"SOUL!" He yells. "I KNEW THAT MONSTER WOULD TRY TO PULL SOMETHING FUNNY ON MY BABY!"
And of course, at the worst time, Soul walks in. I guess school is over.
"Whats with all the yelling?" Soul asks as he walks in with our friends following behind. My father grab his collar and almost picks him up.
"What did you do to my little girl!? How dare you take off her dress while she slept!" My dad yells in Souls face. Soul kicks my dad between the legs, causing him to let him go.
"You still think I'm that kind of guy? What will it take for you to realize that i'm not like that! The stitches in her chest came out and she started to bleed like crazy. I had to take off her dress so I could stitch her up again. I saved her life! So maybe a "Thank you for saving my daughter's life" would be better than picking me up my my shirt you dick!" Soul yells back. My dad stands up and sighs.
"So you admit you saw my baby with no shirt on!" He yells. I roll my eyes and rub my head.
"It was the only way to save her life!"
"You could have gotten the nurse to do it!"
"She wasn't here! And besides, I didn't even care that her shirt was off! You know why? First off, because I was too busy trying to save her life! And second, I'm her friend, I would never do anything to hurt her."
My dad clenches his fists and leaves the room. I look at Soul.
"Thank you for saving me" I say. He smiles.
"Yeah." He replies. Tsubaki walks towards me.
"How are you doing?" She asks me.
"Better. Can you do me a favor?" I ask.
"Of course."
"Help me put on a new gown"
"Sure" She says. She grabs one out of a pile and walks towards me. The boys turn there backs to us. Tsubaki sits me up and Liz and Patty walk over to help.
"So he saved your life, eh?" Says Liz. "Still think he doesn't like you?"
"Liz!" I say. "He just thinks of me as a friend. That's all we are"
"Ok ok" She says. Once my gown is on they tell the boys they can turn back around. I'm finally able to sit up without a pain in my hip.
"We decided to get you a "feel better" gift. All of us got it together" Says Tsubaki. They hand me a box.
"You guys are always getting me gifts" I say with a smile. I open the box and see a candy bar inside. I smile at the gift.
"The best way to make a girl happy is chocolate" Says Tsubaki. I laugh and open the wrapper and take a bite.
"So when will you be getting out?" Black Star asks.
"The nurse told me a while back that I'll be out probably tomorrow. I'll just have to be careful with my stitches" I reply.
"Here is your homework" Saye Tsubaki. "It'll give you at least something to do while you're here."
"Yeah it sucks. I was so excited to sleep in our new dorm." I say to Soul.
"Well tomorrow you will. Until then I'll probably trash up your room"
"Don't you dare!" I say. Everyone laughs.
"Oh guess what" Says Patty. "Kid has a secret admirer"
"Seriously?" I say.
"Yeah, he found a note in his locker."
"Its probably from that Olivia girl. She's always staring at you in class"
Death The Kid smiles slightly and blushes.
"You like her too!" Yells Patty, pointing at his pink cheeks.
"I do not!" He yells back in defense.
"Its ok to have a crush, right Soul?" Says Black Star. Black Star looks at me and Soul and I raise an eyebrow. What is Black Star trying to say? Soul slaps Black Stars arm.
"Shut up. I bet all this talking is exhausting Maka-"
"Nope, I'm fine" I interrupt Soul.
"Are you able to stand?" Asks Liz, changing the subject.
"I don't know. I haven't tried yet" I reply.
"Well lets see. If you fall, we'll all catch you" Says Tsubaki. I look at everyone's faces and nod. I move my legs to the side of the bed and grip the cushion. One. Two. Three. I place the palms of my feet on the tile floor and push myself up. My right leg starts stinging and I fall forward. Everyone lunges and hold me up. This moment where everyone holds onto me, refusing to let me fall, this moment is when I realize I will never be alone again. I will always have my friends by my side. Always.
Author note: Hello my peoples! I've been having a tough week (going through a small depression. Yes, even us Hippie's can get depressed) and the only way to get my mind off of it was writing stories. I thought that if I updated early and made you guys happy, I would be happy, so yeah. Peace and Love
