A Missing Soul

Chapter 19

Soul sat on the  chair in maka's room. His head laid against the top right corner of the chair, his eyes not leaving maka's closed eyelids..

His soft breaths mimicking his heartbeat.

Professor Stein quietly walks into the room and gazes from Maka to Soul, not even a bit surprised that he was here...again.

He walked over and bent over, thinking Soul was asleep. But Soul turned his head to look at Stein.

"Soul-" Stein tried to say.

Soul interrupted him, "No"

"Soul-" He tried again a little bit more sturnly.

"NO" Soul whispers a little louder.

"Soul, just let me finish for god sake!" Stein says in a normal tone.

Soul doesnt say a word.

"You havent eaten, you avent slept, if you keep this up then you will surely end up in a bed like Maka" He said...but immediately regrets saying it.

Soul looks over at Maka, and doesnt respond.

"Soul everyone is worried about you-"

"Dont be!" he turns back, "You shouldn't be worrying about me, worry about Maka..."

"We are doing our best, but you are not making it any better by getting yourself sick. And how do you think Maka would feel knowing that you are doing this to yourself in her name, huh?"

Soul's face turned, from anger, to sadness. He looks back over at Maka. 

Stein lets out a sigh turning his head to the floor. He lifts it back up and places his hand on Soul's shoulder, "I'm sorry...but I am not wrong" He stand up and starts to walk back towards the door before looking back over hhis shoulder, "Go home Soul...we'll call you if their's any change" He said before disapearing out the door.

Soul's eyes gaze at Maka, he stands up weakily and walks over to the bed kneeling down beside it. He puts his hand over Makas before laying his hand on her stomach, "Please...Maka...come home, come back to me" And at that....a tear falls.
