Maka woke up feeling drowse. She had been crying all night. Her eyes hurt, her face hurt, even her heart hurt. She still hadn't come up with a conculshion. Soul kissing her last night didn't help either. Oh what am I going to do? I love Soul, and I think I love Kid. Soul and I have history but Kid and I look good together, and like Liz said, being liked by Kid isn't something to just shrug off. Oh why me? She flopped back over and continued to cry, even though the pain in her face was becoming more intense then the pain in her heart.

Soul sat at the kitchen table. He sat there in silence, only sound to be heard though the whole home was Maka's cries. Dammit! I hate hearing her cry. I wish she'd stop. Maybe I should go see her... Soul got up and walked to Maka's bedroom door. He started reaching for the handle when he could hear her saying something, so instead he put his ear to the door and listened to her. "Why me? Ahhhh!" Soul backed away a bit from the door. He felt bad, this was partly his fault. He put his ear to the door again but this time the door opened. He fell over on his face. "Ow!" "Soul what are you doing?" He stood back up and looked at Maka. She looked terrible, and she sounded like she was losing her voice. "I ah... Nothing." "Ok..." Maka pushed past Soul and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Maka locked the door and turned on the shower, she turned it on to cold. She took off her clothes from her date yesterday, and hopped into her ice cold shower. The cold was a shock at first but she got used to it. As she stood there she began crying again. She watched as her tears mixed in with the water. As she stood there she started to make out sounds from the living room. She could hear Soul saying something but she could barely make it out. "I don't want to ... this any ... on her..." "Neither ... I." She heard another voice, she guessed it was Kid. "Maybe we should just..." She was really hating that she couldn't hear everything. "Well who ever she chooses... yeah I know." Dammit! I can't hear them. Maka turned off the shower and stepped out. She listened but heard nothing. She guessed that they heard her get out, so they stopped talking.

Maka wrapped a towel around her and quickly towel dried her hair. When she walked out Kid and Soul were no where in sight. She shrugged her shoulders and went to get changed for school.

Maka walked through the halls and felt eyes on her everywhere she went. Maybe she was exaggerating... but still. Tsubaki and Black Star were out on a mission, Liz and Patty were skipping, and Soul and Kid were still no where in sight. So Maka was alone. She walked through the halls, trying not to cry. She kept thinking about Soul and Kid. The more she thought about them, the sadder she got.

She sat in class trying to keep her head up, she kept herself up all night crying. "Maka." "Hn what?" "Maka come here." "Yes Professor Stein." She got up and walked down to where Stein stood. As she looked around she realised she was the only one left in class, she really needs to pay attention. "I'm sorry Professor Stein... I didn't sleep well last night." "Maka go home. Sleep. You'll feel better." "Oh I'm fi-" "Go home Maka." "But Stei-" "Go." She decided she was too tired to fight him so she left the room and headed home.

When she got home the door was already unlocked, so she figured Soul was home. When she opened the door Kid and Soul stood there starring at her. "What?" "Maka... You look terrible." "Thanks, but I knew that already." She started to walk past the two when someone grabbed her shoulder. She turned around to see Kid looking at her. "Maka..." "Please guys, not now... I'm tired." She released herself from Kid's grip and walked into her room and shut the door behind her.

Soul and Kid shared glances before sitting down on the couch. "Did we really do that to her?" "Kid we didn't ... exactly do that to her." "But... ah... I don't know...I feel bad making her choose." "Me too, but it's not fair to either of us... we shouldn't have to share her." "No I agree... You know Soul, if she chooses me... this might mess up your wavelength balance with her..." "I know, but what can I do?" "True..." "Want to go shoot some hoops while Maka gets some rest?" "Yeah lets go."

When Maka opened her eyes it was pitch dark. Wow I really slept in... She got up and walked to her dresser. She turned on the light and looked over herself in the mirror. She looked better, hair was a mess though. She changed into pj's and walked out of her room to get some food. She looked at the clock and it said 9:45pm, she went to bed at 1:03pm. Wow I really slept in. She went to the cupboard and grabbed a bag of chips. When she turned again Soul stood facing her. "Oh Soul, you scared me... Again." "Sorry... You look better." "Ah thanks, I feel better too. So ah... what are you doing?" "I've been waiting for you to get up." "Oh?" "Look I'm sorry to force this on you but, are you anywhere close to making up your mind?" "Hmm... I think I know... Give me one more day though, ok?" "Ok Maka." Maka walked past Soul and placed a kiss on his cheek before disappearing into her room with her bag of chips.

This time when Maka got lost in her thoughts, she didn't cry. She knew who she wanted... She just wanted one one day to be sure. She layed down and was ready to sleep. But she had something she had to do first...

When Soul woke up he saw Maka standing smiling at him. "Morning!" "Ah Maka... What are you doing?" "Here." She smiled while holding out a piece of paper. "Breakfast is on the table for you, I wont be waiting for you today though, I'll see you at school Soul!" "Ah ok... But ah Maka!" He was too late, she had already left the building.

Kid was going over his daily routine. Just then Liz came into the room. "Ah Kid... Maka is here to see you, she says it's important..." Kid shot a look of confusion at Liz but still walked to the door. "Maka, glad to see that your looking better. But ah... What are you doing here so earlier?" "Morning to you too Kid. Haha, here." She smiled as she handed a piece of paper to Kid. "I'll see you later Kid!" Maka was gone before Kid could say anything.

As Maka walked down the street heading back towards the school she found herself smiling. It all comes down to this. And this time... no mistakes.
