Next Moring
Maka POV
I woke up from my dreamless sleep, the sun hit my face. I knew I had to wake up but my bed was so comfy I didn't want to leave the bed. My bed seems the be the only safe place for me in this world, well now that Soul left this whole apartment could be my safe place but it's not the same as my bed. In my bed I can wrap my soft, warm blanket around my body. No mean words can hurt me here, no one can touch me or kick me down. But sadly I can't stay here forever, my dad wouldn't let me.
With a sigh I sat up and pushed the covers off me, I swing my legs over the side of the bed. I stood up and got dress, I wore my normal skirt but instead of vest I decide to wear a black t-shirt. I moved out of my room and down the hallway, I passed Souls bare door. You can see the where he had hanged his posters because all around them the painted on the door faded but the paint under them stayed the same color form when we first panted it. I grabbed the door handled and opened it, I stock my head in the room. Everything but the furniture had been taken and there were more poster lines all over the room. I felt a ping in my head as I looked around his room. I shook my head and step out closing the door behind me. There no point in getting upset about this, he already gone and I can't get him back.
I left the door behind me and walked into the kitchen. I made my self some eggs, poured myself a cup of milk. For the first time I a while I sat down at the kitchen table and ate something. When I was done eating I washed up the dishes and sat in front of the TV. Of course the TV remote is missing so I'm stuck watching the news all day. I probably should be going to school but I honestly don't care anymore. I have no partner and everyone going to pick on me, I'm just going to save my self some heart ache and stay in door as long as I can.
And that what I did.
I spent two days watching TV in my apartment; it feels really wired calling it my apartment for a long time I would call it our apartment even when soul was being an ass hole to me. But now it all mine. I wonder what I'm going to do for rent, I can't pay it on my own. Maybe I should get new roommate? No, who am I going to room with? All my friends hate me and for some reason the whole school loves to pick on me. I'll just get a job, it's not like I can go on missions without a partner so I'm going to have a lot a free time. I don't think I can even go to class without one, I probably should get a new one or drop out of the DWMA.
I left the apartment to get the mail, at least I can rely on one thing in this world, my mom's post cards. After what happen with the Kisin last year my mom started to send more post cards now. She has always been so sportive of me and she what keep me going tough the really tough days. I could always talk to my mom, and I have told her about all the major changes that happen in my life. But recently there hasn't been any new changes.
But little did I know that I would make a life changing diction that would change my life forever.
On the day that I made the diction I was picking up my mail when I ran into Miss Amies, a sweet little old lady who lives next door to me. She was carrying bags full of groceries, she looked like having a little trouble carrying all of the bags. I deiced to help her.
"Hey Miss Amies do you need any help?" I asked.
"Oh, hello Maka. If you don't mind I would love some help."
With a nod I grabbed the bags and walked to the elevator where Miss Amies was waiting for me. "So how are you today?" I asked her; making small talk.
"I am wonderful today. How about you Maka?" she asked in her sweet voice.
"I have had better days." I said with a surged.
"How is your mouther doing?"
"She doing well, she just sent me a post card from Italy"
"Oh! Lucky her Italy is so beautiful this time of the year."
"Yeah," an awkward silence started to settle in between the two of us. We mostly rode in silence, the only nose that could be heard was the 'ding' when the elevators open. I let Miss Amies get off first, when she was off I followed after her to her apartment. She got out her key and stuck it the key hole, with the flick of her hand the door was unlocked. I pushed open the door and held it open for her. I moved in after her carrying the bags, I helped her put the groceries away in her refrigerator. Her apartment smelled like fresh baked cookies.
"Thank you for your help Maka. Would you like some cookies?"
"I would love some."
Miss Amies clapped her hands together and wore a bright smile on her face. She grabbed me a small plate and set down the cookies on her little round kitchen table. "Would you like some milk?"
"Yes that would be wonderful." She poured me a glass of milk and sat down across form me. I took a bite of her cookies, I could feel the chocolate melt in my mouth. The cookie was sweet but the chocolate was bitter, it was the perfect mixture of bitter and sweet. I always loved Miss Amies cookies, no other cookie in the world taste as good as her. Her cookies where kind of like her personality, sweet but if you get on her bad side all you get is a bitter taste in your mouth.
I looked around her apartment, the lay out was same as my apartment but all the wallpaper is the same form when the building was built. All of her furniture looked like it came out of the 50s, form what she told me was that she moved in here when the building when it was considered new. She moved in and hasn't changed anything since then even when all the trends changed she still didn't budge. She still even wears clothes that look like they came from the 50s.
Miss Amies stared at me from across the table. "Why are you not at school? You don't seem like the type to skip."
"My partner left me a while ago so there is no point to go to school until I find a new one."
Miss Amies looked surprised with the news that she just heard. "Soul? He left you? Why did he do that?"
I shrugged and took another bite of a cookie. "I don't know, he just wanted a new one I guess."
"So what are you going to do now?"
"I'm not sure, I was thinking about dropping out and going to normal school. Or I could get a new partner but I don't think there are many free weapons at the school with it being the middle of the school year."
"Yes, that makes sense but I tough you liked the school."
"I use to but now I don't really like to go there any more."
"Why is that dear?" She asked, she grabbed my hand. I sighed and told her everything that happen the past year. "Oh you poor dear."
Yeah, well its life. The problem with leaving the DWMA is could no longer afford to live in my apartment rent even if I have a job and I don't want to move in with my father."
Miss A nodded her head, she knew how my father acted and understood why I didn't want live with him and all his girls. "Is there anyone else you can live with?"
"Not in town sadly."
"How about relatives in the sates?"
"Well I have a cousin in Ohio. Her name is Nikki."
"Maybe you should move in with her, a change of scenery would help you." She suggested.
"Yeah" I said perking up a little. "That may help me. Thank you for the idea." I stood up and bowed. "Also thank you for the cookies they were really tasty."
She smiled and me and stood up to. "Your welcome dear, I'm happy to help you."
"Thank you Miss A, I'm sorry but I have to go make a phone call." I cleaned up my dishes and left running to my apartment.
When I got to my apartment door, I unlocked the door has fast as I could and threw open the door running in as fast as I could. I went over to the wall phone and dialed my cousin phone number. I was bouncing up and down while the phone ringed on the other end. I didn't know how long I could wait for her answer the phone. When she finally did answer I couldn't find the words to say.
"Hello Maka? Are you there?" My cousin asked on the other side of the phone; she sounded like she just woke up.
"Yes, I am here."
"What do you need? Do you know what time it is here?"
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Yes you did, do you need something?" She asked yawn into the phone.
"I was wounding if I could move in with you?"
"Yes, I have a spare room you can stay with me, but why do you want to live with me? Don't you have your own place in Death city?" For the second time today I explained everything that happen to me this past year. For a while Nikki didn't say anything, all I could hear was her soft breathing into the phone. I thought that she had fallen asleep.
Finally she said something. "Do you want me to kill someone? Because if you do I will, all you have to do is say the world."
I couldn't help it but I laughed and she laughed to. Nikki had always been one to stand up for people when no one else will. "No I don't need you to kill anyone Nikki"
"Maka you can come over whenever you like just tell me when so I can pick you up from the airport."
"Thank you so much Nikki I'm going to get a plane ticket as soon as I can."
"Ok, is it ok if I go back to bed now?"
"Yes, bye Nikki. Thank you letting me live with you."
"Bye, it's no problem. That what family for." I hit the end call button and with click the call ended. I put the phone back into it holder.
I pulled out all of my suitcases and started packing. I packed all of my clothes, clothes and anything else that laying around the house that belongs to me. While I was packing I found Black Stars cell phone, so I put it on the kitten counters on top of a note I wrote. Once all of my things where packed, I order my plane ticket to go to Ohio. I was able to get one for tomorrow now all I had left to do is to tell Lord Death that I'm leaving.
On my way to the DWMA nothing really happen, there where kids running around and playing while their moms went shopping around the market. It's not until I went up the steps of the DWMA then did people started to attack me with words. They called me names while I walked up the steps, but I ignored them. I no longer care about those stupid people, I'll be out of here before tomorrow. I will never see them again and if I do it will be way too soon.
Soul and my old friends where hanging around the entrance of the school. Soul's arms where around some girl, by the way they were acting they must have been dating. She was probably his new partner, she looked like one of his fan girls that use to fallow him home every day (these girls are creepy). I could feel their eyes staring holes in to the back of my head as I walked right passed them. I walked straight into the Death Room, Lord Death was surprised to see me there.
"Maka what is your reason for coming here today?"
"I wanted to tell you that I am dropping out of the DWMA."
"Why are you dropping out? Your one of our best misters here."
"I know Lord Death but as you know my partner Soul Eater has recently got a new mister and because it's the middle of the year there are not many other free weapons in the school."
"Are you sure you wish to leave Maka?"
"Yes, I am sure. I will be leaving town tomorrow."
"Where will you be going?"
"To a relative house. Now if you don't mind I must be going, have a good day Lord death." I bowed and left before he could say anything.
Once I step outside I notice that everyone but Soul and the girl left, the two of them where hugging each other. The girl lean in on Soul and kissed him, when they pulled away she turned around and gave me a smirk. Soul really knows how to pick his partners. She pulled him away off to go some were give him more kiss. When they did kiss I felt my heart drop down to my stomach. She knew that would make jealous and it did, it made me really jealous but I'm not going to let her see that. I need to forget my feelings for him.
I took a deep breath to calm down and walked home.
I'm going to Ohio soon, I won't have to worry about these people anymore. I will be happy in my new life.
Or at least that what I thought at the time.
Hey guys sorry for any mistakes! I'm going back and rewriting my chapters so I hope you like them!
