Sorry I haven't updated this story. For a long time I had absolutely no motivation to do anything but I pulled myself somewhat together and was able to type this chapter. Enjoy

Maka's P.O.V

it was dark when I woke up and for a minute I thought I was in that damn closet again but as I sat up I realized it was souls apartment on his couch. I looked around slightly confused until I remembered the events that previously occurred. As I continued to scan the room my gaze stopped on soul, who stood in the door frame of the kitchen.

"your finally awake" he said watching me carefully.

My eyes filled with tears and soul instantly ran to me. He pulled me into a hug and shushed me.

"don't worry, everything is okay."

I hugged him tighter and buried my head in his chest as the tears fell.

"i wish... I wish..." I trailed off as I continued to cry.

"i know" he said quietly and picked me up. He carried me into the kitchen and set me down on one of the counters.

"so what do you want to eat" he asked me as he opened the fridge.

"I'm not hungry"

"you need to eat something" he said sighing. He went over to a cabinet and opened, pulling out a pot.

"I'll make ramen"

I nodded my head and patiently waited.

"thank you" I muttered, looking down. He didn't reply but I know he heard me. When the ramen was done he put it in a bowl and set it at the table, then he helped me down from the counter. I sat at the table and began to eat the ramen quietly.

"I'm just glad our not hurt." soul said quietly and I nodded my head not sure if he was expecting a response.

"when your done eating you should get more sleep." I nodded my head and watched him make his way to the living room, but he stopped in the doorway.

"you can take the bed and I'll sleep on the couch." when soul left the room I finished my ramen quickly and put my dishes in the sink. I made my way into his bedroom and curled up on the bed. I don't know how long I had stayed in that position but I jumped a little when I heard the door open. I didn't have to turn my head to know it was soul. I heard his footsteps come to a stop at the side of the bed.

He climbed in next to me and I felt his arms wrap around me.

"good night maka" I heard him whisper.

I drifted to sleep that night feeling the warmth of his arms around me and hearing his steady heart beat.

Ugh this chapter sucks
