But You Are Not Alone

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. If I did I would have been that guy who gave Ruby a rival named Sapphire.

Ruby's POV

Ozpin walks over to me and places his hand on my shoulder.

"He is not dead or in critical condition, so do not worry yourself." I feel myself relax from his words and I hear the others let out a breath of relief. "What I want to know is if you are alright Miss Rose."

"Ptss, I'm fine. Just a broken arm, that's all." I spin in a circle to show him I am fine. "See all good!" My smile fades when the sad look does not leave his face.

"I mean how do you feel. Have you been having strange memories or feel as if you have injuries where there are none?" I tilt my head at his question. Does Professor Ozpin think I have a concussion?

"I don't think I understand you, professor. I'm fine really." Yang then steps up next to me.

"She should be fine. I mean both docs came in and gave her the "okay". Well, Dr. Pipit wanted to do surgery just so he could see exactly what was broken." I shudder a bit at the memory. Weiss then comes up and stands to my other side.

"Is something wrong Professor? Should we be concerned about Ruby?" Professor Ozpin looks me over again and sighs.

"I will let (Y/N) explain that to you. I will ask you, however, to not push the topic beyond what he is comfortable with. Will you do that please?" The look in his eyes tells me just how serious he is. I nod and he turns to walk out the door. "Come with me then."

We make our way down the hallway in silence with the only sound coming from the occasional tap of Ozpin's cane on the ground. Ozpin slows down and stops in front of a door with a number four on a plaque next to the door's frame.

"He is right in there." Ozpin then steps aside. I look at my teammates.

"Could I do this alone? I think it might be a little overwhelming if we all go in at once."

"Fine." Came from Weiss. Blake nodded.

"Aww look at my little sister being the mature one in the situation!" She tries to ruffle my hair while I try to stop her. Once all that is settled I walk into the dark room and close the door behind me. The only sound in the room is soft breathing coming from the bed. (Y/N) must be sleeping. The only light in the room comes from the window that is next to (Y/N)'s bed. He looks quite peaceful all things considered. The sheet covers from his feet all the way to his chest exposing the bandages around his chest. Looking further up I see that he is indeed sleeping. His eyes are closed and his mouth is slightly open. Every now and again he lets out a quiet snore. He's so cute like that! What am I thinking? Get it together Ruby. You can stare at him later.... Okay, that sounded worse than what I meant. Regaining focus I see that his arm has fallen from the bed. He must have shifted while I was thinking about staring at him- Oh stop it, Ruby! I should just go before I start shouting at myself out loud. But I should put his arm back before I go. Just as I about to grab hold of his arm the (F/C) spark from earlier jumps from his hand to mine. When the (F/C) spark touches my arm a sudden explosion of pain erupts in my chest. Screaming out I fall back and land on the floor while clutching my chest with my good arm. It feels like someone just stabbed me in the heart. As I sit there clutching my chest and crying I feel two arms wrap around my body and pull me close. My head rests on their chest and I clutch tightly to them. We just stay there for an unknown amount of time me crying into this person's chest and them gently rubbing my head or back to try and soothe me. Then suddenly I feel the safety of this person's embrace loosen and them moving away from me. Before they can get too far away I latch back onto them and pull them back to me. Looking up from their chest I see that it's (Y/N) who was helping me. He looks down at me with those (E/C) eyes full of concern and I can't help but smile a little knowing that he cares about me. I tear my eyes away from him and look around the room to see that everyone from the hall is now present. Weiss and Blake are currently behind (Y/N) with their arms on his shoulder. From the looks of it, they are the reason he was letting me go. Turning my head I also see Yang trying to pull me away from (Y/N) as well. Her eyes are red so she might not listen to how (Y/N) was trying to help me. Over behind Yang's right shoulder is Professor Ozpin trying to defuse the situation. I feel Yang tug at me again and I tighten my grip on (Y/N). When she lets go I finally realize that they are talking. Well more like shouting for Yang.
