If I Were A Boy
Maka walked back and forth in front of the huge window, revealing Soul lying on the hospital bed. The doctor was still inside, doing some tests and Maka felt nervous about it. It went for hours and she ran her fingers through her hair as if she needs to find something. Finally, she settled herself to sit on the waiting seats in front of the window, with her head lying on her legs.
The doctor finally exited the room, she stood up and then felt anxious. The doctor wore a look between anticipation and sorrow. Maka, felt even more nervous when the doctor adjusted his glasses. "You're related to... Mr. Evans?" He asked formally. Maka slowly nodded and then answered. "I-I'm his friend" She wiped her swelling eyes before turning her attention back to the doctor.
"Ms, I'm so sorry to say this but... Mr. Evans is suffering from an internal bleeding in his lower chest due to the impact you told us about... We don't know when or if he will ever wake up... But just for the mean time, we need to observe him" When the doctor left, a sharp pain jabbed her everything. She didn't even noticed the tears escaping from her eyes. She wasn't living an illusion, she was living a nightmare.
Any minute Soul can never be back. Any minute, he could leave her. This was the thought that hunt her beyond everything. "No... No... He's not gonna leave you, Maka. He's not" She whispered. As much as she tried to encourage herself, there was no hope in denying.
Small whimpers escaped her lips but soon turned into loud cries. "SOUL! SOUL! SOUL!" She cried as if it was going on forever. But she can't afford to lose someone so close to her. But mostly, someone she loves.
Maka slowly entered the room, nothing moved and nothing was noisy. Except for Soul's breathing rate that created slanted lines up and down in green. Different needles were attached from his arms and hands from different sophisticated machines. And most of all, Soul lied on the bed motionless.
Maka cupped his cheek and his jaw line. A small smile curled in her lips but then turned into a bitter smug of sadness. She sat on a small couch located on the left as she thought of calling for someone. But she did anyway. She dialed the familiar number as it rang for a few seconds.
"YO! MAKA! WHY'D YOU CALL?" Black Star's voice rang her head. Maka immediately shuts her eyes close in hopes to stop her frustration but he also has a right to know anyway.
"Black Star, listen... Soul is... Soul is in trouble"
"WELL, THAT'S NOT NEW... HE'S ALWAYS IN-" Maka cuts him off. This time, this is a very huge problem from everyone.
"No, Black Star... This is different. He's in the hospital!" She announced with more awareness but nothing seemed to change for Black Star, everything went silent for a few seconds before he sighed. "Maka, if this is about Soul getting fractured because of his stupid mind-" Maka cuts him off again.
"NO! BLACK STAR! SOUL IS IN A COMA!" Finally, he understood. She knew that kind of quietness, she knew that kind of silence. It was coming from Black Star, she knew she had hurt him.
"Where is he?" He asked, ever so serious. "I'll message you the address" She replied. He responded with an okay as Maka messaged him. She flipped her phone close before lying her head on the couch. Sighing deeply. She looked over towards him, the guilt suddenly went inside of her. Making her cry even more and more until she got tired of it.
Sleep overtook her as she lied on the couch. Breathing slowly and one last tear escaped her eye.
Maka and Soul were waltzing into the darkest room possible. A single-spotlight lighting the both of them. She wore a black dress and he wore a pinstriped suit with a red under shirt. "Maka, you never looked beautiful" He whispered lightly. Enough to make her heart flutter.
"But... Why'd you do it? Why did you kill me?!" Her jade-green eyes widened in shock. She unhooked her hands against his as his skin color grew paler and paler. He was turning more different. His eyes escaped the tangy liquid of red. His mouth repeated his yells over and over again.
Accusing her more and more, until his face turned red from blood. His eyes were bloodshot and glowed in color. He immediately grabbed her shoulders and then asked. "Why'd you do it? Why did you kill me?!" Her eyes were watery, her hands were shaking from fear. Her heart was thumping loudly.
"AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed on top of her lungs.
She eventually jerked up as the familiar beep of Soul's breathing rate rang in her ears. She looked around. She was still inside his room. She stared on the wall clock and it red, eight thirty-one PM. She sat up properly, fixing her hair into a ponytail. "Why did I let you? Why are you so stupid, Soul?" A few moments later, she started crying once again.
The door clicked open and revealed a panting guy. His bushy dyed-blue hair was damp from sweat. His shirt was wet from sweat. "Soul? WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU ASS FACE! WHY ARE YOU BEING LAZY-" Maka covered his mouth with her hand. She never thought, he was not serious about this.
"Will you be quiet? Soul may never wake up, do you hear me?" Maka was an inch close to punch his face. Their best friend was lying on the bed and he has a fifty-fifty chance of surviving and dying. And Black Star was as calm as if he's sure to pass a test. But not this one .
"How come you're so calm?!" Maka can already take a fist full of her hair and rip it apart. She thought, Black Star can't get the idea of losing Soul. But maybe there was so much more about it. Black Star sighed as if the answer was too obvious to ask for. They both settled first on the couch before answering.
"Maka, we've been there for Soul for as long as we can remember... We've known him for so long. Maka, Soul is a fucking fighter. He won't leave us. The awesome me never makes a mistake" He grinned confidently. If Maka hated Black Star, she felt impressed by his optimism.
That's the kind of personality that she needs to keep on going. "But-" Black Star cuts her from speaking with a hand signal. "Maka, all you need is to believe... Crying can't stop it. He's out there, finding his way out. That was fucking corny but you get the point. All we need to do is watch and see him back here" With that, she nodded anyway.
"Black Star, for the first time... You're actually right" He just grinned in response and ruffled her hair. Maka felt relieved that Black Star was there to stop herself for asking the question 'what if'. For once, they weren't fighting. Even without Soul to stop them. They were laughing, sharing stories and watching television. She was very glad, she called him.
"Hey Maka, I need to go. Tsubaki and I are going out tomorrow. Uh... It was nice talking without fighting, yeah? And just because I didn't fought with you but-we're bros, okay? Anyways, call someone to stay with you" He gave Maka a bro fist before closing Soul's door. Then again, she's alone once again.
She flipped her phone open and browsed through her contacts. It took her fifteen minutes to find someone to stay with her, but she came across his name. "I don't want to bother him but... Well, here goes" She called his number. 'Ring... Ring... Ring... Hello?'
"Uhm, Kid? Hey, I gotta tell you something. You see, Soul's in the hospital and... I don't have someone with me to stay. Can you stay here with me? Until he wakes up?"
"Sure, I'll be there. I'm not doing anything at the moment anyway, message me the address. See you" With that, Maka deeply sighed in relief that she didn't bothered anything Kid's been doing. She flipped the television open and she started watching her favorite show, 'How I Met Your Mother'.
"Wow, I'm just like Robin" She thought because the episode was about Barney being serious with a girl, and Robin is the co-worker of the girl. So Robin, drinks beneath the desk and cries. But one thing is for sure, she'll never drink underneath a desk. But she's like Robin for pete's sake. Robin liked Barney like she liked Soul. Barney liked the girl like Soul liked Blair. And Robin hid her secret love like how Maka hid hers.
As the episode ended, the door clicked open and then revealed Kid wearing a very sincere smile. A smile that somehow can cure cancer. Maybe for her. "I'm so sorry for what happened to Soul. What happened to him anyway?" He placed his bag over the couch and then sat beside her.
Soon, her optimistic self changed to something dark and sad. Thanks to Kid, her eyes softened and stared on the ground while playing with her fingers. "H-he got h-hit by a car... B-because he saved me" Her eyes turned watery, she could almost cry.
Kid cupped both of his hands on her soft and full cheeks as he wiped her tears with his thumb. "Hey, don't cry. You'll waste your beauty. Soul will be okay, I know it. We'll be there for him" She held her tears together and she succeeded of not dripping one.
Maka, gaze back at him. His eyes ever so warm and relieving. His smile fading into a serious gaze and her cheeks squinting to pink. They stared at each other for a while, until Maka moved away from him and sat properly on the couch. 'What was I about to do?' She asked herself but without even asking herself, she already knew the answer.
"Uh..." Both were startled as a guy showed up in front of them. Holding a sophisticated phone in his hand. He cocked an eye brow and then turned his gaze towards the unconscious body. "I hope you explain yourself, Black Star told me what happened" She had a hard time to breathe, she stared helplessly onto his eyes. His eyes glaring an explanation from her. His arms folded and a thin line of shame was drawn upon his lips.
"Wes I-"
"I just came here! So what, you think I went on a vacation in London?! I've been working my ass off! I have problems... And returning, I still have problems! What now? Maka, explain" His voice was sharp and threatening. No matter how much Kid wanted to answer for Maka, he couldn't.
Her throat was dry, her heart stopped for a beat or two. Her body was getting a bit shaky. "Wes I... I didn't know what to do. He saved me from getting hit by a car, he pushed me off the road. I didn't stop him, it was all my fault. I... I... Wes, I'm so sorry. I know, Soul is the only family you have and I almost got him killed. I'm so sorry. No one wanted him to be in this situation-" Before she can continue, the familiar smack of a slap greeted her cheek. She lowered her head and then started crying. Kid covered Maka by his arms in hopes to protect her.
"See that, he's always in trouble trying his best to save your ass. And you can just sit back and relax and watch how he works on everything for you. What kind of a friend are you? Trying to act all innocent and like everything's okay. But look around, everything's not fine and everything about you is not Soul's world either. Soul doesn't need you" His words struck her like knives. She was speechless to say anything.
"Hey, don't tell things about Maka like that. She's not like that-"
"SHUT IT? AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? ANOTHER ONE OF HER FRIENDS THAT SHE CAN SHIT ON?" Kid's glare started to match his but no one dared to walk away or punch or whatever.
"Okay Maka, I'll give you three days to leave Soul... For good. And if you don't... You don't know what I'm capable of" This time, she was beyond scared. She's facing a very high-positioned person. He's a CEO of a recording company. What more of his wealth? His popularity? She red him in magazines and in newspapers.
With that, he left the room and Maka stared off to space. If things was getting worse, it sure was. Maka wouldn't be there for Soul along the way. Her promise, she'll broke it any time soon. She knew how Wes hated her from the start. How he needed to cover for Soul and to cover Maka's problems. Maka always made problems of her own that everyone was involved. But he formed hatred when the incident happened.
"Maka, who is he? Why is he treating you like that?" Maka wiped her eyes before answering. "He's Soul's brother... He hated me from the start. I know everything's my fault. He-he's right. I-I don't deserve to be with Soul" She was about to leave, for good when Kid stopped her.
"Maka... Listen, you can't just go around and agree. Stop blaming yourself, no one wanted that to happen"
"Kid! You don't know anything! You didn't experienced seeing people die straight through your eyes and you don't know how it felt like being blamed over and over again! And yes, it is true! Everything's my fault! What more can I give to Soul other than just problems and shit?" She yelled before she walked away. Leaving Kid thinking about what she said.
'People die straight through your eyes? Is she a witness... A killer? No, she's not. But what does she mean?' No one knew about what happened. And no one has the right to know of what she did.
