He felt someone come up behind him and turned…

Sonny's P.O.V.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned, only to see Shiloh, the princess of Shiloh. It's not unusual for her to accompany me on the Black Manta when I leave the planet. Her parents are very close to me and because of her adventurous behaviour she stowed away on the Black Manta once when she was 5 and ever since then she has gone everywhere with us. Now at the age of 15 she was a bit more settled down.
"It's not your fault, you know." She said to me steadily. "He chose to jump in front of the laser for you, it was his decision, it was not your fault. So stop blaming yourself. Okay?"
I knew she was right. It wasn't my fault but I still felt guilty. "Okay." I said to her, nodding my head at the same time. It was just easier to agree with her otherwise she would just keep pestering me.
I looked down at Micro-ice and shook my head. I couldn't get those words out of my head 'Then let me die, I want to die.' It just didn't make any sense, there had to be a bigger picture to this and I'm going to find out what it is.
"What's wrong?" Shiloh asked me.
"I just can't shake the feeling that we are missing something here. When we were talking down in the bay he said something to me, that made me think we're not seeing the bigger picture here." I answered her, while trying to piece the mystery that was Micro-ice together.
"What did he say?" she asked me again.
"When I told him that if he didn't stay awake he would die, he told me to let him die then, that he wanted to die."
"How strange" she replied.
"Yeah, strange." I mumbled to myself.

Time Skip – 1 Week Later
General P.O.V.
It had been a week and Micro-ice was still in a coma. Shiloh didn't understand, he should have been waking up, his wounds were all healed and now he was just sleeping. It didn't make any sense.
Sonny came into the infirmary and asked "Any change?"
Shiloh turned to him and said "Nope, no change. He should be waking up, I mean he's all healed and all."
"It just takes a bit of time. He lost a lot of blood last week, maybe he just needs a bit of time." Sonny said to her.
"Hmm. You're not going to kick him off the ship as soon as he's up and moving around alright are you?" Shiloh asked concerned.
"Not right now. At the moment, I want to find out what is going on with him. A normal kid his age does not want to just die. No I want to found out the bigger picture." Sonny answered with curiosity in his voice.
Just as Sonny finished talking a small groan came from the bed. Both of them turned towards Micro-ice, only to see his eye slowly opening. They both watched as he became aware of his surroundings, before talking to him.
"Micro-ice, it's good to see you finally awake." Sonny said in relief.

Micro-ice P.O.V.
All I could see was darkness all around me. Where am I? What is this place? Question kept floating around my head. I don't know how long I have been here for but when I first woke up here all I could feel was pain but now the pain is gone. Now all I can see is blackness everywhere I turn.
I hear something. I'm not sure what they are at first but when I listened closer, the sound isn't so muffled anymore.
Voices.
I can hear voices. One of the voices is Sonny Blackbones, which I know for sure, but the other, the other voice I wasn't so sure about.
A white light appears in front of me, I feel drawn towards it. I slowly walked towards it and walked through. Next thing I know is that I'm opening my eyes.
"Micro-ice, it's good to see you finally awake." Sonny Blackbones said.
I turned toward him and saw a young girl sat beside my bed with Sonny stood next to her.
"W…Where am I? And how long have I been out for?" I asked unsurely, my voice was hoarse from disuse.
"You're on the Black Manta and you've been out for about a week." The girl answered me. "My name is Shiloh; it's nice to finally meet you Micro-ice."
I looked at Shiloh, she was really beautiful, with wavy black hair that stopped half way down her back and the greenest eyes I've ever seen.
"It's nice to meet you to" I said as I carefully sat up in the bed. Looking around the room, I realised that I was in some type of infirmary aboard a ship. I hate infirmaries or hospitals or anything like that. Turning to the two pirates I asked desperately, "When can I get out of here? I hate infirmaries."
Shiloh and Sonny looked at each other than back to me. And Sonny said, "Let me just go and get one of our healers and have him do a quick check up and then we will let you get out of here. You can have a bit of a break and then I want to have a private chat with you. Okay?"
I looked at him and nodded my head. "Okay" I said, carefully and watched as Sonny nodded his head and went to find one of the healers. After a few minutes he returned with a healer in tow.
The check up was quick and before I know it, I was given a change of clothes. I got changed and just before Shiloh and I left the infirmary Sonny called to me, "2 hours, Micro-ice, and then I want to see you on the bridge so I can take you to have that chat. Alright?"
I nodded and left the infirmary with Shiloh, who gave me a tour of the ship, which took about an hour. Shiloh showed me the cabin I would be staying in, I was sharing with someone who was called Artie. Shiloh said I would be introduced to him on the bridge.
"Um. I'm just gonna lie down for a bit, is that okay?" I asked Shiloh.
"Yeah, sure, that's okay" she replied before asking me "Can you remember the way back to the bridge?"
I nodded and watched as she left. I walked into the cabin and closed the door. I sat on the chair in the room and took off my right trainer and lifted the sole of it. There, hidden underneath the sole was my pen knife. I only used it for one thing. Pulling up the sleeve of my jacket I turned my wrist over and saw all the faint scars I had there, not viewable unless you were actually looking for them.
It has been about 2 weeks since I last cut. Yeah, that's right, I cut. I put the blade to my left wrist and slowly pulled the blade across my arm. I stared at my arm as the blood bubbled up to the top of the cut and leaked over the edges onto my skin.
Just as I put the knife to my arm again, the door opened. I looked up, like a deer caught in the headlights, and saw Sonny blackbones, standing in the doorway…
