Give Your Heart A Break~ Part 2 (CRYSTAL!)

[moonlightnightmare]

"You just don't realize how bad it hurts every time you push me away. Everytime you walk away from me. Every time you do, I'm afraid you'll never look back. That you'll realize I'm not worth your time and you'll never look back."Her voice broke, and again she was crying. God she was such a damn baby.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre turned on her, his golden eyes blazing. "Did you ever think about how bad it hurts me? he asked. "Every time you look at me with those eyes. Every time you talk to me, I have to restrain myself. Because if I don't, both of us will end up hurt."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Please...Stop looking at it like that. Like everythings going to fall apart if you let yourself care. We're at a point in both of our lives where we can't afford to be afraid of what ifs anymore. It's all or nothing. That's the way life works. We can't afford to play it safe when we don't have so long to play the game."Okay, screw not telling him. She had to tell him. As if to back up her thoughts, she coughed again her hand covered her lips catching the blood that came out.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I'm not playing it safe," Diandre said. "I'm playing it smart." Then he noticed the blood on her hand, and worry flashed in his eyes. "Rivyn! Are you okay?"

[moonlightnightmare]

"I don't think I have time...For safe....or smart...I think I'm dying."Rivyn's voice broke, no tears, just the sound of a broken soul.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Don't say things like that," Diandre grunted. "You're not dying. We'll get this all figured out. You'll be just fine."

[moonlightnightmare]

"I'm scared..."Rivyn whispered. It was true. She wasn't just scared. She was terrified. And what if....What if he continued to play it smart? What if she did die and he was left alone? She couldn't...It hurt too much. "But I guess I'll have to deal with the little glimpses of this softer side of you for now. And then when you get everything sorted out with yourself...maybe you can show me the sights of Paris from a new perspective...Or maybe we could go sky diving or something entirely reckless like that. For now, I'll just be happy with the you I have."She put on her happy face. Happy faces were good.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre's hands shook and he clenched them into fists. Didn't she see? This just made it worse. If she was dying, he couldn't let himself feel anything for her. He'd just end up heartbroken, worse off than before.

[moonlightnightmare]

"I have faith in you. In us. We will find a way to fix me....Even if we have to summon the angel Raziel ourselves. Because that's what love does. It prevails over everything."She smiled, kissing him softly on the cheek, before walking off.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre watched her go, his eyes swimming in unshed tears. He hastily wiped his eyes before she could see and turned the knob to enter his room.

[moonlightnightmare]

Ophelia Paganstar watched her clock as the night passed by her. She leaned back in her bed, wondering if Rivyn was okay. Part of her knew that a whole lot was going on with her and Diandre. She knocked on the door to Rivyn's room and when the girl didn't answer, she knocked again before walking in. The first thing she noticed was the blood running out of Rivyn's mouth. The second thing was that she looked really pale. She rushed forward checking for a pulse. She was still alive, but something wasn't right.
Ophelia sprinted from the room and down the halls to find Diandre, because she figured he deserved to know. She banged on his door, nerve wracked.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre was halfway through getting dress when the pounding came at the door. He was dressed in his jeans as the opened it. "What?" he asked irritably.

[moonlightnightmare]

"It's Rivyn...Somethings not right. There's blood everywhere, and she's not responding to anything."Ophelia whispered, her voice worried.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre swore and pushed past her, taking off down the hall. "Noelle!" he bellowed at the top of his lungs. Of all of them, she probably had the most medical experience. All he could do was draw a freaking healing rune. Somehow, he doubted that would do any good in this situation.

[moonlightnightmare]

Rivyn laid in her bed, she looked almost peaceful, her eyes were open as if she was staring at the ceiling. And though her heart was still beating, and her breathing was normal. Something just wasn't right. In her mind she was almost screaming as if trying to make herself move, but no movement happened.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Diandre sat down on the bed beside her and cupped her face in his hands. She felt warm; startlingly warm. A minute later, Noelle entered and rushed over. "Please help her," he said hoarsely. "Please."

[moonlightnightmare]

The worst part about this, wasn't that she couldn't make herself move. Nope. The worst part was the fact that she could hear the world crumbling down around her, if that was how a normal person could describe it. Then again she was not normal. And these circumstances are different than normal circumstances. It was the blood. She was almost positive, the mixture didn't stick well. And because...She was going to die. She was already losing motor functions. And that was terrifying more so than anything, because she didn't want to leave Diandre. Ever.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Do something!" Diandre roared at Noelle. "She's slipping!"

"Ophelia, go to the infirmary and bring me a medicine kit," Noelle ordered, ignoring Diandre. She would do anything she could. She knew that telling her cousin that would do no good.

[moonlightnightmare]

A gurgling noise was heard as more blood slowly trickled down from her lips.

Ophelia nodded quickly and took off down the hall.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Diandre, grab me a towel from the closet. Preferably an old one," Noelle said. Diandre nodded and rushed off, returning a minute later with an old, ratty towel. Noelle used it to wipe the blood away from Rivyn's face.
