Vixy Wilde {A Zootopia Fanfiction}[COMPLETED]✔️

Chapter 28: Why Us?

(Vivian's POV)

It was about three and a half days before dad and I could finally go in Vixy's room. It was next to Aaron's, and from what I could tell, Dr. Barkface and her team were exhausted. Of course, I understood how they felt. Gonna be honest, I hadn't slept in three days.

HOW COULD I?! Aaron and Vixy are on death row and it's all my fault. If I close my eyes, I might wake up and dad might have to be the one to tell her that neither one of them made it.

Anyways, they told the two of us that Vixy was in a coma and they didn't know wether or not she would make it. And, I'll be honest, Jasper was the one who broke.

None of us could believe what we were hearing. Vixy, my cousin and sister, was on the border line of life and death.

Only my dad, me, and some close friends were allowed into Vixy's room. The minute I saw her, I already had endless tears going down my face.

Vixy had an oxygen mask over her muzzle, and many medical instruments keeping her alive; including a blood transplant and an IV giving her pain medication. Her wounds were bandaged and her infected side looked bad.

I quickly wiped my eyes and moved over to sit next to her. She looked like she was dying peacefully, her ears twitched every now and then, but she didn't wake. 

A gently moved one of my paws to hold her's, gently stroking the fur on it. "Vix, please, stay with us." I whispered, my voice breaking. After a few moments, I just ended up breaking down.

I buried my face in my arms and my ears lowered. I started to quietly sob, my body shaking with every sob I made. I felt a paw on my shoulder and the scent of my dad washed over me.

I instantly turned around and wrapped my arms around him, burying my face into his uniform, sobbing. I felt his arms wrap around me and gently ran one of his paws  through my head fur.

(Jasper's POV)

"Shit." Was all I could say when saw Vixy. My tail twitched and my fur bristled. Would my best friends lose the only vixen they care about as more than friends?! I couldn't believe it.

I watched as Nick softly hummed and rocked the sobbing Vivian. I just wanted to hold Viv and make her feel better. But, I think I need to think.

Out of habit, I went into Aaron's room again, Mr. Black-Mane being at work for a bit. I sighed and sat next to my best friend and gently placed my paw on his shoulder. It's almost been four days since the attack, and I still felt guilty as fuck! I sometimes wish I could turn back time and take all three bullets for Vixy and Aaron, take Aaron's hypothermia and whip lashes. But, alas, that wasn't the case.

All of my emotions took hold of me again and I started crying. How were we going to tell Aaron about the vixen he loves the most?! How would he handle it?! How would he react?! All these thoughts made me more upset to where I was bawling my eyes out, sitting a little bit further from Aaron.

I heard someone come in, and stopped crying, but kept my paws over my eyes, not wanting Mr. Black-Mane to see how much I was crying.

Yes, I know Mr. Black-Mane's scent pretty well, plus, he's the only one so far, besides me, that comes into his room.

I sighed shakily, and looked up. He gave me a sympathetic glance. "How's Vixy?" he asked.

I felt myself tear up again, and didn't hide it. "Dr. Barkface told us she was in a coma." I whimpered, a few tears straying from my eyes.

Mr. Black-Mane placed his paw on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, Jas. All of this must be stressing you." he murmured.

I sarcastically chuckled, tears leaving my eyes. "You think?" I asked, but didn't ask for an answer.

"Dad?" 

My ears flicked once I heard Aaron's voice. He alive! Thank god!

Mr. Black-Mane smiled and placed his paw on his head. "Yeah, kiddo. I'm here." he said softly.

Aaron carefully sat up, wincing slightly while his dad made sure he didn't worsen his injuries. I just smiled, grateful that Aaron was gonna be okay.

His green gaze flickered towards me and he smiled. "Hey, Jas." he whispered, his voice raspy and faint, but there.

I blinked to hide the fact I've been crying and slightly smiled. "Hey, dude." I said, my tail tip twitching.

Aaron flickered his ears. "How's Vixy?" he asked, clearly concerned for his girlfriend....well, at least, I think they're together.

My heart stopped for a second, how could we tell him without him breaking down.

Aaron lowered his ears. "Well? Please, tell me!" he asked, clearly worried.

Luckily, Mr. Black-Mane calmed him. "Son, before Jasper tells you, you need to stay calm, okay?"  The younger maned wolf fox nodded, obviously desperate to know if Vixy was okay.

I sighed shakily. Well here it goes, after others doing it, it was my turn to break my best friend's heart.

"Aaron, Vixy got a pretty bad infection and..." I trailed off, trying to find the right words before speaking again. "She's slipped into a coma."

I forced myself to look at Aaron. His eyes were wide and tearful. He looked at his dad.

"Dad, is this true?" he asked, his fur bristled. "P-please tell me that this is some kind of joke or Jasper's kidding."

The older maned-wolf fox sighed, his brown eyes full of sympathy before speaking.

"As much as I wish he was son, I'm afraid it's true....Vixy's in a coma and no one knows if or when she'll wake up." he murmured.

I saw Aaron's green eyes build up with tears, him looking at me, then his dad, then back to me, and back to his dad. 

After a moment, he had tears flowing freely down his face and he let out a chocked sob. Mr. Black-Mane held his son and let him cry onto him.

His sobs made his whole body shake and I looked at the ground, silently weeping. Gonna be honest, I don't think Aaron and I have cried this much in a very, very, very long time.
