Chapter 12

Normal POV

'Suffer in silence', didn't even begin to describe how soul was cooping. He was beyond miserable as he secluded himself in his apartment. Soul had decided to move back in to the apartment, alone. He wouldn't let mary move in, the thought of anyone occupying maka's room killed him. Her father had removed all of her belongings long before soul had received the letter. But it would always be her room. He kept her letter close to him, being the last thing he received from his former meister.

The first few months were pure torture, only leaving the apartment for school and to buy food. Of which he was eating very little. Soul never played the piano anymore, nor did he listen to music. His iPod sat on his desk collecting dust, his new past time consisted of him sitting in the dark getting lost in his memories.

The phrase 'Life goes on' had a new meaning for soul. As the months carried on, with no word from maka, soul began to deal with the pain better than he had been before. Now when ever black star would ask him to meet up at the basket ball courts, soul would actually go instead of bailing on everyone. He started to go on more missions with mary, but he would always have trouble resonating with her. Mary and soul had only been able to use witch hunter a small handful of times, and that was when they had first teamed up. They had completely given up on ever trying to attain kishin hunter.

As the months turned into years, things slowly became like how they were before maka left. Tsubaki and black star had gotten much closer, he had even asked tsubaki out on a date. Kidd and liz had started dating a year ago and were still going strong. Patti had even been able to drag crona out of his shell. Soul however was always hurting he never fully got over losing his friend and meister. For soul it was safer to stay single, that is until his 19th birthday.

The birthday dinner liz had planned wasn't for another few hours, soul was wondering around town killing time. He wound up in front of a record store he used to frequently visit. However it had been about two years sense he last set foot inside, but there was something that seemed to pull him toward the entrance. Hesitating with his hand on the handle, he jumped when he heard a soft voice speak next to him. "Are you going to go inside, or just stand there groping the handle?" The unexpected voice next to him belonged to a girl, she looked to be about his age. Her hair was a golden honey blond, her eyes were a royal ocean blue. Soul found himself staring into her eyes.

"Well are you going inside or not?" mentally shaking himself out of his stupor he opened the door for her. "Sorry, I was... daydreaming... I'm soul" She smiled sweetly at him, she then extended her hand to him "I'm lisa." The two spent the rest of the day talking about anything and everything. They exchanged numbers and started to talk, with each other more and more. Over a short span of just 3 months, lisa became his angel. She brought his smile back, she was the reason he was able to laugh again. Lisa was able to some how able to make working with mary bearable.

It was the end of the third month that lisa and soul had been meeting with each other, Soul decided that he was ready for the next step. One night after they went out to eat, soul asked lisa to be his official girlfriend. When ever soul was with lisa he felt at like his old self. Lisa had this calming personality that made soul feel alive in a way he hadn't felt sense before his grandmothers funeral. After a few months of dating, Soul allowed lisa move into the apartment.

Time jump-about 2 years after lisa and soul started dating.

It has been about 5 years sense maka has left the DWMA. Soul was on his way to see his parents with his now very pregnant girlfriend, lisa. Thanks to wes, soul has gotten onto decent terms with his parents. "Stop fidgeting soul, I thought you and your parents patched things up." Lisa chastised him

"We did... well kinda, but that doesn't mean that I am overly excited to introduce my pregnant girlfriend to them, they're not really know for being understanding." She chuckled at him. "I'm sure there is nothing to worry about, but I'll be here for you if you need the extra support."

He smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "Well, lets get this over with." She squeezed his hand as they walked into his parents house.

"Maka, are you sure about this? What if HE'S there?" She smiled at the tall brown haired man.

"Oh relax Dean, Wes said that HE would be visiting their parents for the week." Dean sighed and hugged maka goodbye before heading to the airport.

AN: Again I am so sorry about the short chapter but I wanted the big reveal to be it's own chapter.
