Run Away, But I Won't Follow [Soma Fanfic Soul X Maka]

Chapter Fifteen

Soul's POV - 

I wake up early. I don't know why, but I just can't sleep any longer. I get up and get dressed, and for some reason today I dress rather nicely. I put on a white T-shirt with a chest pocket. Around my neck I wear crucifix necklace on a sivler chain, along with maroon jeans and my usual shoes. I grab an apple from the fruit basket on the kitchen counter, and leave. 

I get to school quite early, as ther are only a few students milling around the halls. When I turn the corner in the hallway, I see Aika standing next to Maka's old locker. I watch as she punches in the combination and puts all of her books inside. I feel the anger rise in my cheeks. That's. Maka's. Locker. Time to have talk. I walk over to her strongly, and scowl at her as she finishes what she's doing.

"What do you want?."

Aika says, as though she doesn't know that nobody has been able to get into that locker for two years. I wonder if she's still pissed about the whole mission thing. I raise my eyebrows and say

"Who are you?"

A look of confusion covers her face - I can tell because her hood creases -, and she replies with

"I'm Aika, dumass."  

Yup. Still pissed. 

She turns to walk away, but I grab her and pull her through the corridor. I turn the corner and go into the janitors closet, pulling her in with me. Once the door is securely shut, I turn to face her. Her hair is down again and her hoodie is over her face. I sigh.

"Aika, will you take that stupid hood off?"

"No."

She says, turning away from me. God, she's stubborn.

"Okay then. Why were you using that locker out there?"

I ask her. She once again, looks confused.

"Because it's a locker. I put my stuff in it."

She huffs, grabbing the door handle to leave.

"Oh no you don't."

I say, yanking her back.

"Let. Go."

Aika says, tying to break free from my iron grip. I look at her hidden face and say,

"No."

She struggles again before saying,

"I. Said. Let. GO!"

And with that, a blade comes out of her and almost hits me, hitting a shelf of cleaning products. My grip loosens and she uses this chance to escape.

She turns the door handle of the closet and runs out, leaving me standing in the janitors closet looking like a doofus. But that's not what I'm worried about. My mouth almost hits the floor and my eyes are wide. Those actions. Those last words... That blade...  It can't be...

Maka's POV - 

I run away, and try to forget the fast beating of my heart when Soul grasped my wrist, or when he looked at me through those crimson blood red eyes. I run and run and run until I get to class. There, I sit in my seat at the back. Oh no. I've just spoiled everything. 

Soul's POV - 

It's the end of the day, and all I can think about is those last words Aika said. Those actions. The anger. I shake my head as the bell rings, and I realize that everybody is getting up. I grasp my head as I start to freak out.. What.. If... If.. Aika.. Is... Maka? No! Maka's dead! Godamnit! Everything was going fine before Aika came to this damned school! 

I was fine without Maka, and this.. this girl, has just got me thinking about Maka 24/7!! She's exactly like her! I'm still clutching my hair as I feel a pair of hands on my shoulders. I turn around to see Tsubaki sitting there, a worried expression on her face. Almost everyone has left, save for Kid, Crona, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Liz and Patty. Oh, and Crona's weapon, who's name I can't remember. Everyone's worried about me, and here I am, once again, crying over a fucking dead girl! Dead! She's dead! She's not alive! Dead! 

I start to calm down as I feel Tsubaki's hands rub my back. But, after about five minutes, I can't take it any longer. I get up and storm out of the room. I think I have finally realized that Maka is not coming back. That she is actually dead. That I'm never going to be able to tell her how I feel. And that I'm completely insane.  What do I do now?
