Hiya! Shadowmistx98 here! :D

If you went directly to this chapter I suggest you go back to chapter 13. I uploaded two chapters this day since there was no internet yesterday.

This is the first time I'm going to do a first person view in one of my fanfics... So this is the POV of the sections (separated by a line break)

First Section - Soul
Second Section - Tsubaki
Third Section - Liz
Fourth Section - Patty
Fifth Section - Kid
Sixth Section - Black Star
Seventh Section - Maka

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater...

I opened my eyes as I felt my body being carried into a white van. Ambulance, maybe? I don't know… Everything's blurry. My eyes can't function well. I looked around panting heavily. I almost can't remember what happened but the only thing important is that Maka is safe and alive. Better to be dead than to see her suffer…

I felt my own blood gushing out of the wound Carlos gave me. A very large scar is about to appear on my body. I can't feel anything, can't see well, can't talk… but I can hear… I heard the woman and the man in white on my head talking about how they would handle my wound. They could be nurses… Or maybe they're angels ready to take me in heaven. Heh… No… What am I thinking? I need to be strong… I need to live… For… For Maka…

I tried to move, but my body just can't cooperate. It's too painful to bear. Words can't describe on how I'm feeling this time. I'm glad I pushed Maka away in time. If I didn't, she would have been suffering the pain I'm feeling right now. That boy is really crazy. He would even go that far in killing her? Just to make sure no one will have her? That's just wrong. If he really loves her, then he would let her decide what's best for her. I'm glad we weren't sharing the same van. If I remember correctly, he got shot on the leg after I was almost cut in half. I wonder what he's doing now… Heh, I shouldn't be thinking of him right now. That jerk deserves a lesson.

How's Maka? That's what I wanted to ask the people cleaning my wound but I just couldn't speak. She looked messed up when we met up with her. Her pigtails where lowered and there were a lot of scratches on her face and legs. She also had a large wound across her right arm. That bastard. This is his entire fault! But… I can't dump all the blame to him… Part of this situation was my fault. I was there when he took her. And I didn't even notice. What a terrible guy I am….

I felt the van stop and the door open. I was carried outside on a stretcher. The sunlight hit my face very harshly but it didn't bother me. The pain was circulating on my torso. The nurses placed me on a movable stretcher and carried me to a room. Emergency room? I think so. As we went there, I felt someone touch my hand. No. Grab. It felt so warm but once she spoke to me, I felt her sadness.

"Soul! Hang on! Don't die!" she said while crying. I was able to respond on her hand grip.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!"

"It's not your fault… Don't blame yourself… It's mine… I should've had protected you before all of this happened…" I thought but I couldn't gather my strength to tell her.

"Soul! I'm really sorry…" I can see the red light where the words 'EMERGENCY ROOM' imprinted. We were about to enter the room.

"Miss, you need to go now…" a nurse said to her as we were in front of the door. Even though my eyesight was blurry, I saw her nod.

"I love you" she whispered to me silently. I managed to smile at her as we entered the room.

"I love you too" I closed my eyes. I felt lights hitting on my body and doctors surrounding me. I felt scared that I won't be able to open my eyes again… That once I open my eyes, I'm in a completely different place. Then everything went black. I have to be hopeful this time. I have to fight. I have to fight for everything. This is not my time to die on the people I love. I have to fight. For Maka.

Maka is awfully crying a lot. I feel so bad. I feel so sorry for her. After all the pain she's been through, this is what she gets? I don't think its fair… Maka is such a good person. She deserves better than this. I patted her back with only the things I could say to her…

"Soul will be fine… Just trust and believe. Hope, Maka…" I said.

"That's what I don't like… No assurance… The only thing I could grab on is hope and belief…" Maka sobbed.

"Everything will be fine… I assure you…" I said as I felt tears up on my eyes.

"Don't worry, Maka… Soul's a tough guy! He can pull through this…" Liz put a fist up but her last words trailed off. Patty nodded in agreement.

"This is my entire fault!" Maka grabbed onto my sleeve and cried.

"It's not your fault. It's that idiot, Carlos' fault…" Kid growled. He was pretty much affected by this too. I sighed as hugged Maka. Patty did the same on her back.

I feel helpless. Maka's sad. She's always been strong but with a loved one on the edge of dying, she can't help but feel this way. I sighed as Tsubaki and Patty hugged her. Kid grabbed my shoulder and looked at me worriedly. I leaned on his shoulder as a tear fell on my shoulder. Maka didn't deserve this. And Soul didn't too.

I took Maka's bandaged hand and caressed it.

"Don't lose hope…" I whispered to her.

That jerk, Soul, better fight and he better fight good! Maka's waiting for you to come back.

I don't like seeing Maka this way… She's so nice but why did this have to happen? All I could do is to hug and comfort her. I hope she feels better. I hope Soul pulls through. I hope we could all pull through this crisis. I hope we can go back to our happy lives together. I believe we can do this! I believe this problem will disappear with all of us helping together! Right…?

I sobbed silently as I hugged her.

"Don't worry, Maka… Everything will be fine… Soul's going to be fine!' I told her for that was the only words I can tell her as of now.

"I-I hope so…" Maka silently said to me.

"Everyone's here for you…" I said silently.

"I know… Thank you very much, Patty…" Maka replied sadly.

Such disgrace… Such stupidity… Maka is all messed up and asymmetrical. But the symmetry isn't what's making me say those awful words. Heck, I don't even care about symmetry at the moment! I don't care if everyone is asymmetric at the moment! What I care about is Maka and Soul. They're my friends. What Carlos did was such an idiotic act! I should've kept an eye on him since then. Maybe this wouldn't happen. I feel helpless and useless. I can't say anything to Maka at this moment because I know it won't be true. The greatest doctor here in this hospital, Dr. Stein, has been hired by father to take care of Soul's fatal wound and he said there's a 50/50 chance of Soul dying or waking. But, the girls are right. We all need to believe and hope.

"We should all pray for Soul's recovery…" I said to them but my voice was lower than usual. Maka nodded in my statement. I looked behind me and saw Black Star coming towards us.

I saw Maka crying on the corner with Tsubaki, Liz, Patty and Kid comforting her. I just came back from the interrogation of the police. I was the first one to be called since I was connected with the victim and the suspect. I also called Maka's parents and told her that she was safe. They said they were coming back for her. I sighed as I approached them. We were all shocked with what happened. It was too much for our young minds. Well, even though a great guy like me was even shocked.

"Hey… It's all your turn for the interrogation…" I said as I shoved my hands inside my pockets. They nodded and looked worriedly at Maka. They stood up and went to the police's van outside the hospital. Maka sat there silently. I took a deep breath before I sat beside her.

"I called your parents, they were relieved. They said they were coming here next month…" I looked at her and saw her nod.

"Carlos had already been taken care off. His parents took him to another hospital to avoid conflict… They also planned to move back to Japan…" I said hoping that made her at ease a little bit. She nodded again.

"That's good…" Maka said with a blank expression on her face.

"How's your wound?" I asked. She looked at it and then looked at me.

"It's fine…" she paused. "But I wish this is the wound Soul got instead… It's all my fault that he's in the emergency room fighting for his life…" she began to break down. She only did this when she's with me. She didn't want her other friends to see her like that.

"Black Star, I'm so sorry!" she went to and hugged me. I sighed and placed my hand on her head. "I'm so sorry!" she kept on apologizing. "If it weren't for me… Soul and you guys wouldn't be here…"

"You don't need to say sorry, Maka…" I closed my eyes. She cried on me. I patted her back.

"You don't need to say sorry… Nothing is your fault…" I repeated and hugged her back as she cried more. I took a deep breath.

"Soul, you better wake up or I'll beat the living crap out of you…" I thought.

Why did this have to happen? That hit was supposed to be mine. Soul, you jerk… Why did you have to do that? Soul… I love you so much. Everyone… All my friends got mixed up because of this mess… I'm so sorry you guys… Everyone kept telling me that everything will be fine. I wanted to believe that, but I already heard Kid and that Dr. Stein talking. He said there will only be a 50 percent chance of him living… I can't take this anymore. I don't know what I'll do if I lose Soul. He has always been there for me... Soul.

"I don't usually say this but... Just hope for the best..." Black Star said as he patted my back.

I switched this in first person view because I couldn't get in touch with the emotion of this chapter. Hope you liked this as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Yep, and I uploaded two chapters cause we have no internet yesterday... Next chapter will be the last and hopefully I'll post it before school's in.

Bye!
