Forgive me!
I do not own Soul Eater
Two weeks before the day.
Maka still couldn't forget what had happened to her a couple of days ago. Soul broke up with her and Maka could still feel the pain. It's silly to be this much in love with a boy. What a stupid word for love.
It was Monday and Maka felt like going home. She couldn't concentrate on her school work. Every time she tried, she ends up thinking of Soul. Soul's red eyes, his sharp teeth, Maka wanted Soul back.
The bell started to ring, signaling it was time for lunch. Only three more hours, thought Maka. Maka gathered her things and rose from her seat. Tsubaki was waiting at the door for Maka, watching her best friend. After the break-up, Maka went to Tsubaki's house and cried it all out. Tsubaki felt as confused as Maka. She thought Maka and Soul were destined for each other and Tsubaki felt sad that it didn't work out for the two. After Maka settled down, Tsubaki listen to Maka, describing what happened. Tsubaki would occasionally pat her friends back or hug her when she would start to sob. It was a long night for the two until Maka became quiet and ever since then, Maka hasn't said a word about the event.
Tsubaki didn't like that Maka was holding everything in but she guess it was the best way for Maka to 'be' herself all together. Maka started to walk towards Tsubaki, wrapping her arms around a chemistry book.
"Hi Maka," Tsubaki said, smiling or trying to at least.
"Hey," Maka said, planting a small smile on her face, "thanks for waiting Tsubaki. I really do appreciate it." The two girls started to walk out of the class room together.
"It's no problem. You're my best friend. It would be rather rude to just walk away and see you in the cafeteria." Maka laugh.
"You're my best friend too Tsubaki," Maka stopped, grabbing Tsubaki's hand. "I mean it when I say that I do appreciate it."
"I know!" Tsubaki smiled widely at her friend, laughing that Maka had to act beyond serious to show that she means something. But Tsubaki knew Maka's words meant everything. If Tsubaki didn't know, then she wouldn't be a very good friend. Maka let go of Tsubaki's hand, making that 'child' smile. She always felt happy around Tsubaki even if everything was going wrong. Maka's smile disappears. She couldn't forget him, Soul. The break-up with him is still clear in her mind, painstakingly unforgettable. But after a while, Maka knew she could function well again, eventually. Tsubaki saw tears beginning to swell in Maka's eyes, breaking Tsubaki's heart. She quickly hugged Maka, hoping at least a bear hug fill with care would brighten Maka up.
"Tsubaki," Maka coughed out, "I can't breathe." Tsubaki lets go of Maka.
"I know," Tsubaki smiles as she walks backwards slowly. Maka started to walk as well, picking up the pace. The two girls are side by side now as Maka thanks Tsubaki in the same tone from earlier, expressing more than a simple 'thanks'. Tsubaki glance at Maka, replying to her response.
"You're welcome." Tsubaki felt Maka wanted to say more but Maka stayed silence and Tsubaki was okay about it. Maka just needed her time and space and all Tsubaki could give her is exactly that, time. It's been, again, a harsh couple of days.
Maka tighten her grips on her books. She couldn't help but feel bad for not being able to tell Tsubaki how she feels. When with her friend by her side, Maka felt alone but she didn't want that to bother her. Soon graduation would come and Maka would be independent, slowly becoming successful and such. Even with that success, Maka would be alone, discovering the world by herself. She loosens her grip, repeating everything is going to be okay over and over in her thoughts. It's was only a break-up and by now, Maka thought she would be slowly getting over it but she's not. Nothing changes, not her feelings, not her heart. It all goes back to Soul and it bothers Maka.
Together the two walked towards the cafeteria, even if Maka felt like she could feel Soul's eyes on her.
Why did she feel that way?
