Chapter 19: I care, don't forget it
All day was nothing but bad vibes, I swear what is Soul's deal? I am ignoring him still OKAY! But we haven't been doing a mission for a while, and we don't talk. Tsubaki nods at me saying I'm doing a good job, but was I really?
"Liz... I don't think ignoring was a good idea." We sat outside of the school, Tsubaki was doing a mission and Patty was inside.
"What are you talking about? This was a great idea." She said it with such enthusiasm.
"Am I doing the right thing here?" I look down. Liz sighs.
"What do you think is right Maka?"
"I don't know." Gem was right about life, it's a big shit fest that we have to put up with.
"Liz... Gem was right, life is a big shit fest." I kick a stone. Liz just bursts out laughing.
"I KNOW SHIT MAKA BELIEVE ME!" Strange enough, I started to laugh to. We calm down and stared into space... Liz took out her phone and started texting.
"Say Maka..." I stare at her.
"You have a cell phone?" I shook my head.
"Too expensive." I sigh. She giggles, what was so damn funny?
"Maka you keep surprising me." She smiles.
"You haven't lived much, have you?" She asks, HAD TO ASK!
"Well, my parents went through a divorce, and I spent most of my time spying on Papa, watching him cheat on Mama like an asshole." I clench.
"I never really had a life, I was raised in a poor family." I rest my head on my knees.
"Maka, I was abandoned along with Patty..." I look up at her.
"What?" She nods.
"Story time... my Mom was a whore, the prettiest whore in New York, she had a reputation to keep. She well got pregnant twice, from two different men, that explains why Patty and I look so different." She said with a sad tone in her voice.
"Liz, I'm sorry." She smiles.
"Don't be, I'm happy that she left us. We met Kid because of it, and I thank my Mom, for bringing two beautiful girls into the world, smart, kind and beautiful." She was happy for her Mom, for abandoning her?
"Liz you are so confusing!"
"AM NOT!" We both started to laugh. Liz and I have difficult issues going on in our life, but unlike Liz I don't forgive people. That is why I am upset with Soul, what he did hurt me, I still don't know how but I can tell you it's NOT heart break, and I will not forgive him.
After school I slid through my broken window, I HATE doing that, but the damn door was locked, Gem isn't home?
"Gem?" I call out to her, where is she?
"GEM?" I was getting scared.
"GEM?!" I throw my blankets off, no, I ran out of my room. I search the living room.
"GEM?!" Nope, Papa's room? I race towards his room. Nobody...
"GEM!" I ran into the kitchen, she wasn't there either, I checked everywhere, Gem where are you? I walk around for any clues, man I've been doing that a LOT lately. Only one thing caught my eye, a strange red liquid on the ground... no NO! I open the fridge, it's juice o-or a ...
"N-no." ...Blood.
"GEM!" Please tell me where she is, Gem isn't gone she isn't SHE ISN'T! I lay in bed, and looked at the ceiling. This doesn't make any sense, Gem never leaves anymore, she's always home when I get here, what got to Gem? Somebody had too, another mystery... I will have to solve this one on my own. I heard the door open, Papa. I walk out of my room, Papa looked confused, he looks back and forth.
"Where's Gem?"
"Papa, she isn't..." I point towards the kitchen, Papa walks in there then walks back.
"Maka, what happened."
"I came home and tried to find Gem, I found the blood on the ground." I about cry.
"Papa, I want to go back, I'm done with this place." I said, Papa pats my head.
"Is it about That little girl?"
"Not just that... I lost Lily also, Gem is missing and my partner and I are arguing, I can't even talk to him." I walk into my room, I curl up into the blankets and hope sleep, will bring me at peace.
"Maka..." I look at Papa.
"I'm gonna go look for Gem, okay?" I nod.
"Papa..." He stares at me.
"... find her please find her."
I wake up, no sign of Gem. Where is she? No no no! Papa walks in. "Did you find her?" He shook his head sadly.
"No, Papa please Papa, you ... you're joking!" Again a sad sad no. Gem was dead.
"Maka..." I ran into my room.
"I WON'T ACCEPT IT, I'LL NEVER ACCEPT IT!" I jump into bed and cried, I loved Gem she was like a sister, someone I never had in life. I want Gem back.
I woke up to the sound of the phone, who the hell is calling? I walk over to the phone and answered.
"Hello?" I sounded like a dead chick.
"Maka?"
"KID?!"
"Hi, how are you?" I hit my head against the wall.
"What the fuck do you want? It's two A... TWO A.M?" Kid started to laugh over the phone.
"Listen Maka, since you are the only one I can trust I want you to tell your friends to probably stay alert."
"Why?"
"A killer is breaking in and well,m do what killers do." Do what killers do... nice one Kid.
"Why can't you tell them yourself?"
"Well... Black Star will hunt it down, Tsubaki will have to deal with that and Soul hates me." I sigh.
"He doesn't hate you."
"Yeah right. I've seen the dirty looks he gives me, pure hate." I look at the wall.
"Alright I'll tell them, well, only Black Star and Tsubaki, I can't tell Soul."
"Try Maka, I know about the fight, but quit ignoring him, he's tortured enough." I heard a click, Kid was gone... new mission tell friends, and get Soul to talk to me.
"WHAT A KILLER?!" Tsubaki screams.
"Uh huh."
"What are we going to do?"
"Stay the fuck inside and lock everything?" She places her hands on her hips.
"Funny, Maka." I nod.
"Tsubaki when we tell Black Star... hold him down with all the strength ya have GOT IT!"
"Yeah kk." We look around for Spaz, we found him in ... on the roof...again.
"HEY BLACK STAR, GET DOWN HERE!" He looks at me and smirks.
"MAKE ME FLAT CHEST!"
"Makaaaaaaaaaa ..."
"I'M COMING!" He hops down.
"You really shouldn't be insulting a god like me."
"What makes you a god?" Black Star grabs my vest.
"You wanna go Maka?" I held up my book.
"Yeah I wanna go." He lets go of me.
"Heh I have no time for you." He tries to walk away.
"Black Star Maka has something important to tell you!"
"What?" Tsubaki stands next to him, I take a deep breath.
"A killer is on the lose, we need to stay inside and lock all doors and windows."
"A KILLER! HAHA NO MATCH FOR THE MIGHTY BLACK STAR I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT NOW!" He about runs for it when Tsubaki grabs him. I walk right up to him.
"Listen moron, this killer is very dangerous. For safety reasons I suggest you stay inside and NOT kill yourself, I've lost to many people I love, I don't want to lose you. GOT IT?!" Black Star gave me a blank look for a moment, then he rolls his eyes like a jackass.
"Fine, whatever Maka."
"I'M SERIOUS BLACK STAR!" I look at Tsubaki.
"Don't let him out of your sight." She nods, I walk away Black Star please, please don't die. Don't go after the killer. Wait what now? Yeah you all know. So shut it. I look around for Soul, where is he? I walk around for ever, until I finally spot him.
"Soul!" He turns around and continues walking.
"Don't ignore me Soul, ignoring is my job." Still is walking.
"SOUL!" I ran up to him.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I back away a bit.
"I- I need to tell you..."
"Don't bother, I don't wanna know!"
"Why? Because you don't care about dying?"
"No, I don't want to here it coming from a bitch like you." I walk next to him.
"I am not acting like a bitch you fucking asshole."
"Go to hell Maka."
"SOUL THIS IS IMPORTANT, THIS IS YOUR LIFE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!" He kept walking... that's it. I walk up to him, grab his jacket, and without thinking I kiss him. I pull away and look at him, he looked kinda dazed.
"Will you listen now Soul?" He still stood there so I continued.
"A killer is lose and uh... for safety reasons you should lock your door and windows... just for safety." Soul nods.
"And uh.. sorry for uh what happened a moment ago ..." Soul pulls me in and kisses me, I stood there shocked for a moment, but why do I feel so relaxed now? I was quickly pushed away.
"HE- Soul?!" His face was beat red.
"Sorry that was uncool of me, you can... uh .. thanks for the warning." I smile.
"You're welcome, Soul Kun." He looks away. I left... then ran to the nearest empty bathroom, I check my face, as red as a strawberry.
"Oh my god..." What the hell is wrong with me? If I go home like this Papa might ask whats wrong... I need to hide my face or clear up the red on my face.
Plan C: sneak in through the broken window act sick and not go to school tomorrow... that might work. Good because Papa isn't home, now I can rest and recover from the little incident.
At eight the damn phone rang.
"DAMMIT!" I walk to the phone.
"Hello?" A creepy voice spoke.
"Hello is this Maka?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Hehe a friend well almost friends, I still want to meet you." I growl.
"Quit talking shit."
"I want to meet you, I've heard you're very beautiful."
"No you have been lied to, sorry bye."
"Keep ignoring me, fine then, but if you hang up now... she'll be dead."
Maka: Jadyn...
