Chapter 7

Maka's POV

Things just progressively got worse as days, turned into weeks. My once good friends turned on me. It started with everyone of my old friends ignoring me. Well all except tsubaki, but one day when I had enough with the silent treatment I approached my "friends" and tried to get some answers. But before I could get a word out Liz glared at me and yelled, "Well if it isn't the little gold digging slut, what do you want? Come to offer your self to Kidd now?" Her out burst had brought the whole classes attention to us. My face turned beat red, the whole room was silent as I tried to speak. My gaze drifted to soul, he was sitting on the desk next to Kidd and black star. 'Was he smirking?!' It seriously looked like soul was smirking. He was enjoying this? No I must be seeing things, soul may be a jerk sometimes but he is not cruel.

Word that my friends no longer wanted anything to do with me spread like wild fire. Black star with his usual loud mouth helped spread rumors that I was easy, that I would sleep with guys if their family had money. Soon I became the schools punching bag, Liz, Patti and black star weren't the only ones coming up with names anymore. I was called a whore, teachers pet, flat chested nerd, tramp, Flossie. I was known as a cheater, people would say that soul needed to find a new partner, and that I couldn't be trusted. They would comment on how amazing soul was for putting up with me for so long.

I learned very quickly to keep my mouth shut and my head down, very little brought me joy anymore. I couldn't listen to music anymore, also the books that I once would have gotten lost in were hardly an escape now. my mind just kept wondering to my so called "friends" and soul, he hadn't been home in over a month. A good majority of his things had slowly been disappearing from the apartment, just being in the apartment kept reminding me of how soul and I used to be so close, and how he just fell out of love with me.

I used to love learning, and going to school. But now school was like a constant hell for me, I was the target of verbal abuse and some times if I got lucky I would get pushed into a locker or tripped in the hall. The only person that I could still call a friend was tsubaki, but no matter how close we were, we both knew better than to talk to each other in public. She would text me often, so when my phone went off I wasn't surprised when I saw that she had texted me. What surprised and worried me was what the text message said. "i'm sorry... I'll be here if you want to talk."

The knots that never seemed to leave my stomach, twisted further after reading her message. I was about to try to enjoy the book I was forcing myself through, when my phone went off again. 'Maybe it's tsu explaining her last message.' To my dismay however it wasn't her. It was ...SOUL!? This can't be good. I hesitantly opened the phone and read, "Maka, you need to come to Kidds, we need to talk!" Now they want to talk? I should be happy to clear the air between up, but I couldn't shake this sinking feeling. I felt like I was walking toward the end, the end of what though? I could feel my feet dragging behind me as I made my way to Kidd's when I got another message. "Do. NOT. Make. Me. Wait!" It was only one sentence but each word carried the weight of a single sentence. I started jogging, It was a good 20 minute walk to Kidd's from our place. I made it there in about 12-15 minutes.

When I knocked on the door, I was greeted by a sneering Liz. She just left the door open and walked away from me, over to where tsubaki, patti, and a blond girl I think her name was mary sat talking. She had been hanging around soul and everyone else for the last 2 weeks. My thoughts were interrupted by soul, "took you long enough."

He stood from where he had been lounging on the floor, he strode over to where I was standing and grabbed my wrist. "Come with me!" I didn't really have a choice with how he was towing me along. He led me into a guest bed room, once we were both inside he turned and closed the door behind us. He froze with his back turned to me, I waited for him to speak.

He took a deep breath then turned to me, "Maka..." he looked me right in the eyes, "Look, I think you know where this is going. But for it to be official we have to get your okay." I could feel the full force of what he was trying to say. "S-soul, what are you talking about?" It was all I could do to whisper the questions. He sighed clearly unhappy with having to spell it out. "Maka, you and I both know that the real reason you got hurt was because you can't wield me anymore. I burned your hands, our wavelengths no longer sync up and I Highly doubt that they ever will again."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Why would you do this soul? I thought you were different; Cool guys don't betray their partners! I thought you loved me." He scoffed at me. "I thought I did too, but I was wrong, it was all a mistake!"

My eyes grew wide and I took a step back, "You don't mean that soul." He glared at me, "the hell I don't maka! I can't trust you, I regret ever being your partner, I regret falling in love with you, with a lie. I regret ever sleeping with you, I should have known that you would just use me!"

"Soul I nev-" He cut me off, "Save it I don't wanna hear any lies, I know the truth." He took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. I was trembling while he was trying to calm himself down enough to talk instead of shout. "You and I are no longer partners, but Mary cant officially take your spot as my meister, and on our resonance team unless you okay it."

I felt sick, I was hardly able to keep my breathing even. I lowered my head so that my bangs covered my eyes, "it make's sense, I guess. I was just holding everyone back. A new meister will make you stronger, I already made you a death scythe. And as you pointed out I can't wield you any longer, I would want to get rid of dead weight too." I couldn't keep my voice from shaking. I couldn't see his face but he clenched his fists when he heard the hurt in my voice, as if saying my pain annoyed him.

"I will be moving in with Mary, I will come for the rest of my things by the end of the week. Goodbye maka." With that soul walked out of the room, as well as my life.

I was numb on my feet as I shuffled out of the guest room. Everyone but tsubaki was celebrating that I had okay-ed, mary taking my place. Tsubaki was watching me with careful eyes, I just shook my head at her silent question and let my self out of Kidd's house. Everything was numb, I just walked. I didn't care where I was going, I was to tired to run but I couldn't stop moving. Soul's words just echoed in my mind, 'I regret falling in love with you, with a LIE.' and 'It was all a mistake!' I... was a mistake?, Us dating was a mistake? Us m-making love was a m-mistake?! I was to numb to even cry.

I walked until I collapsed, I don't know how long I had walked, but it was now starting to rain. I don't know how long I was laying there I just focused on my breathing. In/Out In/Out In...That is until someone took notice of me. "M-Maka!? oh my.. What are you doing here? Are you hurt? MAKA!" I couldn't respond, I could only breath. I felt a pair of slim strong arms lift me up, he carried me somewhere warm.

"Maka, please answer me! I know I am the last person you want to see but please, soul will kill me if anything happens to you." I choked on the breath I was trying to let out. "no, he won't care." The words slurred out of my mouth, I'm surprised this person heard them. "Of course he will care!, maka he loves you, your his partner." I shook my head, "No," was all I could say. My phone then started to go off and something told me that this wasn't the first time it had gone off.

"Are you going to answer that?" I continued to stare out the window. He sighed and took my phone from my hands, "Hello? Please calm down, this is wes evans. Maka is, well I don't know if she is fine but she's not hurt from what I can tell." He paused and held his hand to forehead. "who am I speaking with?... tsubaki? Okay, please listen, I'm about 2 hours out of death city and I just found maka, she was laying on the ground. She's not responding to much of what I say." He paused again, listening to the other end of the line. 'just how long had I been walking?' Wes then continued speaking with tsubaki.

"I was preforming at a concert hall and I just found her by pure luck, she has a slight fever and she is very pale. Tell me where I can meet you, and I think she is going to need a Dr." Another pause. "Okay, we will be there in about an hour" He hung up the phone and gave it back to me. "Maka, I know you don't like me but please tell me what happened." My breath was coming in shallow gasps now, "I'm a mistake, HIS mi-mistake. No partner, He re...grets ev...ery..thin.." I was hardly able to speak the last words, before my world went black.

I awoke looking at a familiar ceiling of the DWMA nurses office. I could hear muffled voices from the hallway. I strained to hear what they were saying. "What! that can't be she is only 16!" ... "calm down now spirit!" the voices got to low for me to hear them. I tried to get up but a genital hand pushed me back down. "You need to stay down maka" I looked up to see tsubaki hovering over me. "Oh hey tsu." My voice sounded so weak.

"Do not scare me like that again maka! Wes had to carry you in, you were unconscious with a fever. Do you know where you were going?" I shook my head, "I was just walking." She sighed and held my hand. Just then Stein entered the room.

"Ah! It's good to see you awake maka, I was starting to worry." He paused and looked at tsubaki then back to me. "Now maka I have some thing important to tell you. Your loud mouth father already knows, and he shouted so wes knows as well, but if you would prefer tsubaki not be here I can.-" I

I cut him off, "it's okay professor, she can stay." he nodded and continued. "Well Maka I hate to say this but, it looks like your just under 2 months pregnant." I blanched, "That's not po-" I stopped short. I started to shake.

"I see that you are piecing it together. Does this mean you know who the father is?" I just nodded, tsubaki had her hand over her mouth, with silent tears streaming down her face. She knew as well as I did whose it was and that he wanted nothing to do with me or it. Stein continued, "Do you want me to contact him?" I jerked up into a sitting position and grabbed steins lab coat. "NO!" Stein looked startled, tsubaki jumped back, and wes and my father burst through the door. I released my grip on stein. "I'm sorry, but please no, he can't know." My father jumped into the converstion.

"M-maka, you weren't...raped..." he couldn't finish his sentence. "Oh Death no papa no, I wasn't raped!" He sighed a bit but just as fast as he calmed down he then broke down. "WHHHHAAAAAA my baby girl became a woman without me knowing my poor maka!" Stein cleared his throat to bring my attention back to him.

"Do you mind me asking who the father is and why you don't want us to contact him?" I was very aware of Wes's eyes on me. I took a shaky breath, "It's souls..." before I could continue I was interrupted by my father yet again. "I'll Kill that little octopus head!" I grabbed a book from a near by table and chucked it at his head, "MAKA-CHOP!" Papa fell to the floor in a bloody mess. Stein cleared his throat again. "And why don't you want us to notify soul, I know about the rumors liz and them are spreading, but I would think soul would want to know." I shook my head.

"N-no, trust me he wants nothing to do with me. He-he told me that everything we had was a mistake. He regrets ever ...sleeping with...me." I struggled saying the end. It was then that I heard Wes's sharp intake of breath.

Wes's face looked like he was genuinely in pain for me. "Why would he say that? Do you know?" I looked down and shook my head. "All he said was that he couldn't trust me anymore, that our love was a lie."

Wes stood silent for a moment. "When did this start?" tsubaki spoke up now, "Right after the funeral.." Wes face palmed him self.

"Maka, I am so sorry, this is my fault. He saw me kiss you, but he didn't stick around to see you punch me." I don't know how it was possible but I got even paler. "He saw you ki-" I had to lay back down. Oh Death, it all made sense now.

"He thought you wanted to be with wes, he said that he knew you deserved better but he was hurt because he thought you truly loved him." tsubaki informed me.

I stared at her, "Wait you knew and you didn't say anything why?" she stuttered obviously feeling bad. "I didn't know what to believe, and I never thought soul would do this, I swear I thought he was going to talk to you about it." She had tears falling down her face again.

"its in the past now tsu, I forgive you. I'm sorry you were put in that position." How could I be mad at the one person who stood by me, she didn't even know what to believe and she still stuck by me. "But I know soul, he won't believe me, he will still want nothing to do with me."

Wes silently nodded his head. "He cut me and our parents out of his life, If he thinks you betrayed him with me no less then he wont see reason easily." Stein who had stayed quiet through our whole talk now spoke. "So now the question is are you going to keep it? If so then I need to run some tests. You had been pregnant when you went up against that Lecter kishin, and got hurt. I will need to make sure the baby wasn't hurt."

I took a deep breath "I'm keeping it." My papa was sitting on the floor, frowning. Wes had a serious look on his face, and tsubaki shook her head at me. "Maka you will start showing soon, what will you do when they others ask about why you don't come to class or how you got pregnant. We will have to tell soul eventually."

"No tsu, he won't find out, I am leaving the DWMA.

AN: Are you crying yet? See Wes isn't as bad as we originally thought, now is he? Things will get better, I Promise I wont be this evil forever:) Like always, please review.
