Hey there! Shadowmistx98 here!
Warning! Emo Soul is emo. OOC.

"Maka…."
Maka turned her face to her back to see the guy who called out her name. She saw Soul standing at her back smiling at her.
"S-soul?" Maka stuttered.
"Ask BlackStar, ask Kim and the others, ask Tsubaki and the others, go to the grocery store, text you….. If all else fails, go here…." He smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Maka turned back to her previous position.
"I was searching for you… and then I thought of this place…" Soul sat next beside her. Maka groaned.
"So… what's bothering you?" Soul asked.
"Nothing…" Maka couldn't tell him yet. "Then why did you come here?" he asked.
"None of your business…" Maka looked away. "How about you? What's your problem?" Maka asked. Soul looked at the grass he was sitting on.
"You know, there's this one girl…." He started as he looked at her. Maka looked at him.
"I've always liked her…. What should I do?" Soul smiled at her. Maka stood up.
"You should probably tell her…" Maka sighed. Soul stood up.
"Maka… there's something I need to tell you…"
"What's that?" Maka unenthusiastically asked.
"I've been meaning to tell you this a long time ago… and…" Soul grabbed her hands. "Eh?" Maka looked at him weirdly.
"I… I" Soul took a deep breath. "I love you!"
"I love you Maka!" Soul turned red when he said this. Maka's widened eyes stared at him as he clasped her hands with his.
"S-soul, I don't know what… to say…" Maka looked at his nervous and uneasy face.
"D-don't g-get me wrong….. I guess I just need some time to think…. This is... Too sudden for me…" Maka lowered their hands.
"I understand…." Soul smiled weakly at her.
"In the mean time, let's go home!" Maka said. Soul nodded and the two went out of the place. They both walked home silently. It was very awkward. When they got home Soul smiled at her and went in. The girl that Soul was talking to was beside the Evans's mailbox. Maka looked at her weirdly and walked to the path of their house when the girl stopped her.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you Maka?" she excitedly asks.
"Uh, yeah" Maka answered uneasily.
"Yes! I finally got to meet you! Are you Soul's girlfriend?" she asked again as she jumped in joy.
"Uh, n-no! I'm not! I'm just… a friend…" Maka's last words trailed off.
"Aaaw… And I thought he already found one…." She said as she pouted her lips.
"Excuse me… who are you?" Maka asked.
"Oh! Rude me!" she knocked her head and reached out a hand for a shake.
"I'm Blaire! I'm Soul's cousin!" Maka accepted her hand shake.
"Blaire… that sounds like my…. Cat…." Maka thought. Maka felt relieved for some reason.
"Well, nice meeting you! I'd better go inside now! Me, my aunt and uncle have some things to talk about! Chow!" she rushed inside of their house. Maka sighed and got to her house. She greeted her parents lamely and went upstairs.
"What's wrong with Maka?" Spirit asked.
"I don't know…" Kami answered. Maka tossed her jacket on her bed and lied down. Then she heard voices.
"Hey, dude, what's wrong?" Blackstar asked. "Nothing, I'm just tired…" Soul replied. She could hear the bed creak when Soul slumped himself onto it.
"Whatever you say…." BlackStar said. Maka took a deep breath. A knock from the door came and it opened.
"Maka? Is everything ok?" Kami sat beside her in bed. Maka sat too.
"You can tell me, dear…." Kami insisted.
"It's Soul…." Maka said. "What? Did he do anything to you?" Kami readied herself to stand up and call Alex.
"No, he didn't… He…. Confessed to me…." Maka hugged her legs and bowed her head.
"Well, that's… great, aren't you happy?" Kami smiled at her. Maka shook her head. "I feel confused right now…." Maka said.
"My heart is feeling happy… but my mind says I shouldn't…. I'm afraid that with what happened to me and Kid might happen again… I don't want to risk anything again…" Maka tried not to cry. Kami patted her back.
"Life is full of tough choices, Maka…. You'll have to risk to know what happens…" Kami said.
"That's all I could say for now…. I'm here for you, Maka… Me and your father are always. Don't forget that…" Kami whispered to her as she kissed Maka's forehead and left. Maka sighed and groaned. Then thunder rumbled. Rain poured very hard. Maka pushed the curtains aside and felt the strong wind blow to her face. She saw the clouds were dark even though it was still 5:00. She closed her windows and lied down. Downstairs, Kami told Spirit what happened. As of now, you all know Spirit was freaking out when he heard the news. Kami rolled her eyes and the phone rang. It was Alexandra Evans.
"Hello? Kami?" she asked.
"Alex, is that you?" Kami asked. "Yes, yes" she replied.
"What made you call?" Kami asked again.
"Me and Rex are leaving with our niece tomorrow. It's sorta a vacation. We'll be back in 2 months… I just thought of letting you know…" she said.
"Oh, I see, is Soul and BlackStar coming with you too?" Kami asked.
"No, someone needs to look at the house… Plus, they still have school…" Alex coughed through the phone.
"Did you notice anything from Soul?" Kami asked.
"Oh, yes. He seemed a little sad when he got here… He said he was just tired. When I asked BlackStar about it, he said he confessed to Maka… Is that true?" Alex asked.
"Yes… Maka had told me about it…. But she didn't answer Soul… She's so confused right now…." Kami sadly said. After that, silence occurred. Then Alex suddenly said something that made Kami twitch a little.
"I have a plan!" Alex said.
"Really? What is it?" Kami asked. "Ok, let me see…. Here goes!"
Maka woke up the next morning. It was still raining hard. Maka got down and sat at the chair.
"There's no school today, Maka. The news said the officials suspended it…" Kami said.
"Oh… ok…." Maka grabbed a slice of bread and went upstairs to her bedroom. Maka thought about yesterday. She thought that her mother was right. She needed to take risks.
"What do I really feel, about him?" she asked herself.
"I… I liked him…. He was always there for me….. He helped me a lot…." Maka answered her own question.
"That's it….. all this time I was just too afraid…." Maka said. Maka made her decision. She pushed the curtains aside to see if Soul was there.
"Soul? Are you there?" she asked. No one answered. "BlackStar?" Maka asked again. She pushed it aside and went down the stairs. She got her cellphone and tried to call him. The number can't be reached. Where is he?
Maka went to the telephone and dialed their number. She tapped her fingers on the table as she waited for someone. Just someone to pick it up. The phone just rang.
"Who are you calling?" Kami looked at her.
"Uum… Soul…" she answered.
"Oh, they left…" Kami said sadly.
"To where?" Maka put the phone down.
"They were leaving for a new city…. They aren't going to live here anymore…" Kami sadly said.
"What? That's… That's crazy! Without even telling me?" Maka bursted. Kami sighed.
"Where did they leave?" Maka asked.
"I'm afraid I don't know that… They 're going to leave with the ship…" Kami said. Maka hurriedly went up the stairs and into her bedroom. Spirit saw her and went down.
"Did you tell her?" Spirit asked. Kami nodded. Maka went down wearing sneakers, jeans and a hoodie. She opened the door.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're going outside?" Spirit asked.
"Yeah! Don't worry I'm going to be just fine!" Maka went outside putting her hood up. It was still raining. Spirit sighed.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Spirit asked Kami. "Yes… I'm sure.." she replied. Maka ran to the bay.
"Whoa!" she almost slipped. "No… I gotta run…. No time for stopping now!" Maka continued to run as she saw a boat setting sail.
"Wait! Wait!" Maka shouted but the rain covered her voice. Before she could approach the ship it already got to the sea. Maka's mouth hung open as she shook her head. She rested her hands on her knees and panted.
"Stupid…. Stupid!" Maka sat at the concrete barrier beside the bay. Thunder rumbled. The rain didn't stop.
"I'm so stupid…." Maka cried and sniffed.
"BlackStar was right… I should've had told him before…. Now I ended up blaming myself….." Maka covered her face with her hands.
"Maka?" a familiar voice called out her name. Maka looked at the girl beside her shading her with her umbrella.
"Liz?" Maka looked at her face closely. Her face was foggy with all the rain.
"What happened? And you're all wet!" Liz sat beside her.
"I screwed up…."
"From what?"
"Just as I made my decision…. Everything just got away…" Maka cried.
"The world hates me, doesn't it?" she asked. Liz looked worriedly at her.
"It doesn't….. You said it yourself, when something goes away, it can be replaced with something better….. That is, if it did go away…" Liz tried to comfort Maka, but she was completely disturbed with her crying.
"You know, Maka? I'm not used to seeing you like this! You're the girl that I always fought back in the days! C'mon! You're stronger than that!" Liz shouted at her that made Maka stare in to space. Liz pouted.
"Oh, so you're not going to talk to me now, is that it?" Liz looked at her. "Thanks Liz…." Maka smiled at her. Liz smiled back at her. Maka stood up.
"But I-I need to go somewhere else! See you!" Maka ran away from her. Maka waved goodbye.
"H-hey! Don't you need an umbrella?" Liz shouted.
"No thanks! I'm fine!" Maka shouted back. Liz groaned as she looked at Maka until she disappeared from her sight. Maka went to the place she had been yesterday. The rain turned into drizzle. She hugged herself.
"Now… I'm only blaming myself…. Stupid…. I should've had thought about my true feelings before all these happen….." Maka cried as she bowed her head.
"Fine… I LOVE YOU SOUL! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" Maka sat while crying.
"I love you so much that it hurts to see you go….." she whispered and hiccupped as she cried. She continued to cry as if there's no tomorrow. She knew this was the only way she could pour her feelings now that they're gone. Maka covered her face with her hands.
"Maka?"
Oops... Another cliffhanger... I have warned you. Emo Soul is emo. Ok... This was supposed to be the last chapter but I extended it. Next chapter will be the last sadly. :(
Yeah, the girl he's talking to is Soul's cousin, Blaire. I doubled the character if you noticed it :P The cat of Maka and Soul's cousin. Soul just picked her up from his school to his parents' house.
Oh and yeah, I have noticed the new review button. SO COOL! Blue is my favorite color! And have you noticed too that you can't use "~" in the reviews anymore? :(
I hope you enjoyed and understand this chapter!
