AN: Hey guys, sorry it's been a while. I'll try to update more frequently than that.

The twins had spotted Kyoya and I coming into the classroom and didn't hesitate to point us out to the rest of the group.

"Kyoya? What's going on? You're never late." Tamaki pointed out, "Your perfect attendance record has been permanently scarred, and why is it that you and Maka arrived at the same time?"

I looked to Kyoya hoping that he would say something. Anything to clear up the wrong ideas that must be going through my classmates' heads, but he simply pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, sat down at his desk, and started typing away at his computer. The question still lingered so I turned towards everyone and started to explain.

"Well, you see-" suddenly everything started spinning and I couldn't think straight. The last thing I saw were the worried expressions of my classmates and someone might have called my name, but for all I know it could have just been a part of my dream.

"Maka, you've been spacing out all day. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that something is up. So, spill, what's the matter? There was nothing I could say to Soul. How would he understand? How could I even find the words to tell him?

"Well if you won't tell me that, will you at least tell me what that lady wanted with you? It couldn't be that you were in trouble could it? Of course not I mean we're talking about you, not me."I didn't notice the tears that had formed in my eyes until the drops started falling on to my desk. Even though I wanted to tell Soul I couldn't. I couldn't find my voice, and even if I could I know that my words would be broken by the huge sobs I could feel coming.

"Maka… what did she tell you? I've never seen you like this before, so all the worst scenarios are running through my mind. Please tell me what's wrong." The pain in my chest was only getting bigger and bigger and I knew I had to let it out somehow.

"S-soul," my voice was very low and it was almost as if you could hear the tears, "It… it's my parents-" my words were cut off by my inability to control my tears for any longer. The tears were steaming down my face and I couldn't talk anymore. Then soul stood up and interrupted our teacher in mid-lecture.

"Sorry to interrupt professor Stein, but Maka and I need to leave right now." Without waiting for a reply Soul took my hand and lead me from our desks right out of the class. I could hear the professor calling us and telling us to come back, but we didn't listen.

We walked until we came to a spot where my father and I used to sit and watch the sun set. Soul sat me down and took a seat beside me. He pulled me into his lap and embraced me tightly until my sobbing subsided. I pulled away slightly to find him looking down at me in concern.

"They w-were in an accident." I was stuttering and my voice was cracking but I had to keep going, "The lady who pulled me out of class told me that someone ran a red light and hit them." I took a deep breath to steady myself, but Soul started talking.

"Which hospital are they in? I'll take you right now."His sincerity and the look in his eyes that showed his true friendship and caring for me caused me to start crying again. I couldn't answer him so I did my best to shake my head, hoping that he would understand.

"Oh Maka…" Soul's embrace became tighter and with one hand he began to stroke my hair. I don't think he realized he was doing it but the comfort was just what I needed.

"MAKA!" I could faintly hear a voice calling me and before I knew it Soul was slipping away from me.

"MAKA CAN YOU HEAR ME?" I opened my eyes to Tamaki yelling in my face.

"Well I won't be able to hear for much longer if you do that again." I replied with a smile. My smile and cheery attitude didn't seem to fool anyone.

"Maka-chan what were you dreaming about?" Honey asked but he seemed to not have his usual cheery smile like he usually does.

"Oh just some of my days at the DWMA why?" I wondered why he had asked such a strange question. The sound of two harmonizing voices answered my question.

"Well Maka, because you see, you were rolling around a lot mumbling and crying so hard that your entire body was shaking." So they had seen one of my night- well I guess technically it's not night right now- terrors.

"Oh, I see. Well I'm sorry if I frightened any of you, but please try to forget about this it isn't important. Now if you'll please excuse me." I answered quickly, grabbed my bag, and winced slightly at the rattling sound it made. I dashed towards the door before I was stopped.

"Maka would you mind explaining that sound just now?" Damn that Kyoya, why did he have to be so perceptive all the time? I thought quickly of an excuse.

"It's just my pencil-case; now please excuse me I have to go to the bathroom." With that I fled from the room. That was really close. I wonder what would have happened if any of them had found out about my medication. Speaking of my medication I didn't take it this morning so that explains my nightmare. Fishing in my bag for the small orange bottle I felt my fingers run across my black glasses case. I pulled it out to look at it but I would do that after I took my pills. Searching more I found the bottle, pulled it out, and poured two white pills into my hand. Without a second thought I popped them in my mouth and dry swallowed them.

"Maka what was that?" I didn't have to turn to know who had said it. All I knew… I had some explaining to do.
