3 Day's Later.

I started to see a white light at the end of my vision. I don't know how long I've been swimming in the dark, but it's been a while. I start to move towards the light and it gets bigger and bigger and brighter and brighter until I feel my eyes open.

My eyes hurt and the bright white light shining in my eyes isn't making it any better. "Ugh." I groan and close my eyes again. After a few seconds I snap them back open. "Where the he-hell am I?" I look around the room. It has a few chairs and a small table; the walls are a creepy white with yellow curtains on the closed windows. "I'm in, in a hospital?" I say. "Ahh Maka, nice of you to join us." An oddly familiar voice scares me. I turn my head to the right and see Professor Stein with an unlit cigarette and a clip board.

"Professor? Where am I?" I ask and he chuckles. "You're in the hospital. Hit your head pretty hard I hear." "Wait what happened?" I ask and I regretted it the minute I said it. Flashes and pictures raced through my head, the man with the white X shaped scar on his face reaching his hand under my shirt, cutting my arm, and ripping the clothes off my body before throwing me to the ground. Then I see white hair and sad red eyes looking at me while he got beat. Soul.

"Soul? Where's Soul, He was hurt you have to save him!" I start thrashing around the bed yelling Souls name. "Maka, Maka calm down Soul's fine for right now. You don't want me to have to put you under again do you? I could barley hold myself from dissecting you." He says and I stop moving. "Where is he, he's, he's not de-dead right?" I let a few tears fall. Stein shakes his head. "No but he was close to it, had to bring him back 3 times while in surgery." He says. "Can I see him?" I pull in a shaky breath wiping tears from my face. "No, that's not a good idea you just woke up and he's still not in the, best condition." Stein tells me. "No you don't understand this was my entire fault, I'm fine really I am." I try sitting up and a wave of dizziness washes over me.

"Lay back down Maka, and I'll tell you what happened." Dr. Stein pushes me gently back down into a laying position. "What's wrong with him?" I say worry filled my voice. "He's been in a coma for the last three days; I'm not sure when or if he's going to wake up." Stein says looking into my eyes, which are now filled with water. "Why, you said they got him to on time that he was alright." I say. "He is alright, for now. He lost almost half of his blood Maka, you have to understand that, that's a lot of blood and if the man who cut him would've pushed a little harder, the blade would've punctured his heart." He sighs moving his glasses up. "This is all my fault." I cry and Stein raises an eyebrow. "What's your fault?" "This, this whole th-thing, if I just stayed with Soul and didn't get all pissed at hi-him this wouldn't have happened." I cry tears falling down my face fast. "There was nothing you could do Maka. What happened happened. You can't change that. Now get some sleep, you need to rest. When you wake up again I'll have someone bring you in something to eat." He says and walks out the door.

The second I closed my eyes I saw red, Soul was right in front of me when he got sliced open. I could've stopped it; no I should've stopped it. All I see is blob everywhere, and Soul's body falling to the ground. Then I hear screaming, my screaming. I fall to the ground next to Soul and flip him around, I hear him saying 'I'm sorry.' Over and over and it's driving me insane. He didn't do shit! I just said the first thing that came to mind. He never hurt me. Sure he made fun of me and picked on me but he was a boy and I was a girl, we didn't like each other and that's what you do when you're little.

I called Soul's name again and again but he wouldn't move, I looked left and right forward and backwards, but I didn't see or hear anything other than the rain falling to the cement. No one was coming to save him. He was going to die in my arms just like that. I called out for help but no one answered. I look down and Soul's looking up to me. He then starts to speak.

"Maka." He barley whispers. "Please, help me." He says and I start to cry and so does he. "Soul just hang on! I promise you'll be okay!" I cry to him. "Don't ever let go Maka." He looks at me and smiles little. He pulls his hand up and holds my cheek bringing me forward, closer and closer to him and soon he doesn't have to pull anymore, I want this, I want him. Just before our lips meet I whisper, "Never." And he smiles sadly and pulls back. "Never say Never bookworm." And he closes his eyes forever.

"NO!" I scream, jolting up from my laying position. Sweat is covering my whole body. I'm breathing rapidly and my heart is ecstatic. "God, what the hell was that about?" I get out of bed and walk to my window. "I'm so sorry Soul; I'll make it up to you I swear I will." I say to myself looking out the window to the warm night. "Evening Maka." A voice sounds behind me. I turn around a little to fast and big hands grab my shoulders to steady me. "Black*Star?" I ask my eyes widen in shock. He was the LAST person I thought would come and see me. "You're God in the flesh he smirks and takes a sea next to my hospital bed.

"What are you doing here?" I ask and sit down on the edge of the uncomfortable bed. "I was going to ask you the same thing." He smirks. "There was a, a I don't know honestly." I start to cry. "I, I got into a fight with Soul and stormed off, the next thing I know I find him in an alley getting beaten to de-death by thugs and they, they tried to rape me. Soul he was yelling and fighting," I let out a choked sob and see Black*Star listening intensely. "But, I couldn't stop them and then he bit the guy or something and came to save me. I, I saw the man, Ragnarok I think his name was, pull out his knife and run towards us, I warned Soul but it was to late1 Black*Star it was too late! He got him and now, now he's here and it's all my fault!" I cry not even trying to hold the tears back.

"Maka, what happened wasn't your fault." Black*Star wraps an arm around my shoulder and drags me into a hug. "Ye-yes i-it is! I could've pushed him away or something! I should've have left Soul in the first place!" I sob and hug Black*Star closer to me. "Shh Maka he's going to be fine I promise." Black*Star tries to clam me, and it works. "Ho-how do you kn-know." I hiccup. "Because Soul's a fighter, he wont leave the people he love's." he tells me and I smile a little. "I hope so Black*Star, because I can't live without him, I thought, I thought when I came back here I was going to avoid him at all costs, I wasn't planning on, on-" I didn't know how to end the sentence. I didn't know what I was feeling right now, it could all be just because I feel guilty, or maybe its because You don't know what you have until its gone.

"I know Maka; just go back to sleep it's really late. Tsubaki want to come see you tomorrow, and so does everyone else." Black*star steps away from me and I nod laying back down in bed. "Thanks Black*Star, for, for everything." I force a smile and he nods but I swear on my life I saw a smile on his face when he closed the door.

I woke up the next morning to someone opening my door. "Hey Maka, are you awake?" I hear Tsubaki ask. "I am now." I stretch and flinch when I move my arm; I had to get 48 stitches in my shoulder from the deep cut. "Sorry if we woke you." Kid come is followed by Crona and Patty. "It's alright; it's about time I woke up anyway." I smile. "Where's Liz and Black*Star?" I ask Crona. "Th-they are getting some-something to e-eat." He stutters and I smile. "Cool, so what's going on with you guys?" I ask and frown when they all look at me with a sad expression, even Patty who is all giggles and smiles. "What's wrong?" I ask. "We would like to ask you that." Tsubaki says, and I flinch.

"Everything's okay, I mean with me. But Soul, I'm not sure; I haven't gotten to see him yet." I said quietly. Kid clears his throat and looks at me. "We came by earlier and you were asleep, so we went and saw Soul." My mouth runs dry. "He's still in a coma and they say he might be in one for a while." Liz says walking in the room grabbing Kids hand. "There had to be something we can do!" I fight to get out of my sheets. "Maka, chill out you can see him in a minute, just put on some normal clothes." Black*Star tosses me a pair of shorts and a huge shirt that I'm figuring belongs to one of the guys. "Thanks." I smile and he smirks at me. "No problem a God always helps his peasants." I roll my eyes but close the curtain to change in privacy.

"Are you sure it's okay if we go in there." I fidget nervously with my fingers. "Soul looks pretty banged up but that's to be expected. I would like to ask that one of you go in at a time." Professor Stein tells us. "Well we already saw him today so Maka you can go, we have to get going anyway." Tsubaki says. "Al-alright bye guys see you later." I wave to them and Patty gives me a hug. "By-bye Maka." Crona walks away with everyone else. I turn toward the door and push it open.

My breath hitches at the sight I feel my dry eyes start to water. "Soul." I say under my breath. I walk up to him and take in his appearance. His left eye is bruised all the way around. His bottom lip is swollen and has multiple cuts on it. Under his eyes are large black rings. His hair isn't as white or spiky like it usually is. His arms have several giant bruises on them and his right foot is in a cast. I know I shouldn't do this but I have to see his chest see how bad it is. So far I haven't let a tear drop not one, but when I pull his sheet down and uncover his chest they all fall hundreds of tears fall down my face and I can't help it.

I pull the sheet down to his hips where the stitches end. "Oh God." I move my hand over my mouth. His wound starts at the top of his left shoulder and comes all the way down to his right hip. It's all rigid like and there's got to be thousands of stitches in it. "I'm so so-sorry So-Soul." I cry louder and walk up to the front of the bed. I pull the blanket back up so I won't see the cut anymore. "Please wake up Soul. I, I need to see your eyes again. I need to here your voice." I whisper and brush his hair out of his face. "Please Soul. Just wake up for me, I promise I'll be better to you, we can start over, third times a charm right." I cry again.

I don't hear the door open or close behind me. But I jump when someone wraps there arm around my waist. "My sweet angel, I'm so sorry, but I'm so glad you're okay." My papa hugs me and cries into my shoulder. "Me too papa, but I wish it was me in his place. He doesn't deserve this. It was all my fault!" I choke on my tears. "No angel, don't say that. Don't ever wish for something like that. What has happened is horrible but you have to remember, Soul is a good man and I'm sorry I couldn't be the papa you wanted but the thing is you can't change the past." Papa whispers to me and I nod. "I love you papa." I say and tighten my arms around him and he does the same. "I love you too my precious angel."

When we pull away I stand next to Soul again. I hold his hand tight and just watch his face. "Papa, do you think he's going to wake up?" I ask him. "I sure hope so Maka, but we are just going to have to wait and see." He rests his hand on my shoulder. "Stein said you're free to go, just keep your shoulder still and you should be fine. Do you want to go get something to eat?" papa asks and I nod. "Just, just give me a minute I'll be right out." I tell him. "But, but papa doesn't want to leave you alone in a room with a boy." Papa gets tears in his eyes. "Go papa." I say sternly and watch him stiffen and walk out of the room.

I look down to Soul again and hold his hand a little harder then I should. "I'm sorry Soul, but you have to wake up, even if you don't want to see me after you do, I just need to know that you're okay." I whisper to him. I stoke his hair out of his face a lean down and slightly peck the corner of his swollen lips. "I'll be back later." I say and walk out of the room.

Not seeing his hand move as I closed the door.
