Luna paced the hospital floors tensely. She was bleeding out when Mr. Belden found her; she'd cut into her vein,the hospital staff had said, I don't know if she'll make it. Luna felt tears welling in her eyes. The very thought of Raven being gone, her loving, gothic friend being lain in a grave, cold and lifeless, her beloved spark gone...Luna's throat was raw from choking back sobs. She felt herself pressed against a shirtfront and Cody's familiar hand rubbed her back, shivering with grief. Luna felt a long-closed gate inside her open wide, and clung to her best friend tightly, dampening his blue-silver shirt with her tears as he murmured sadly, but with characteristic hope, "It's okay, Raven's gonna be alright, I promise..." but it felt hollow in his throat, and he pressed his face against Luna's to stop the tears threatening to fall.

Blade sat on the bench outside of Raven's hospital room. He ran his hands through his thick, black hair.
"So stupid, Raven!" He growled to himself. He remembered the blackish pool of blood on the bathroom tile. The face Chloe had on her face after Blade told the news to Mr. Berkley- it was victorious. Though, Raven could be dead or alive. He would never choose to be with Chloe. "Never again..." Blade mumbled to himself. With hope, he knew Raven would live. Then again, with logical reasoning, he knew she would die.

Luna pressed her face tighter against the now completely sodden fabric of Cody's shirt, thinking, I should have done something. I should have stood up to Chloe. I should have been a better friend to Raven. Oh, Raven, there's so much I want to apologize for...how am I supposed to tell you if you-- the blonde couldn't even bring herself to think of it.
Cody, for his part, clenched his grief-trembling fists in the lace back of Luna's shirt to stop himself from crying out in sorrow and loss, but making sure not to hurt the girl crying into his chest. He'd never known it would only take a few words to drive someone to this horror...another thought crossed Cody's mind and to hear the selfishness in his own heart sickened him; wasn't this what he'd always wanted, to have Luna snuggled against him like this?
But...he'd never wanted it to be this painful.

Raven lay in her hospital bed, unconscious. Her skin was sallow, and her breathing was light. The heart monitor beeped gradually, with every beat of her heart.
Beep... beep... beep... Raven lost a lot of blood, but she thought nothing of it, not even pain. Instead, she lay in a deep sleep, in the middle of her dream. It wasn't a dream about anything in particular, but a dream about all sorts of random colors and shapes- rainbow triangles and circles, and ongoing spirals. The goth girl had no idea where she was, and what had happened.

As soon as the doctor had told them that Raven was more or less conscious, Luna and Cody hurried to her side. "Raven! I'm so glad you're okay!"

Blade entered the room as well, striding over to Raven's bed. The goth girl slowly opened her eyes, the golden orbs roaming around, catching a glimpse at every one of her friends.
"Hey, guys!" She greeted, still groggy and wasted from a combination of heavy blood loss and anesthetics. Though, she still didn't know what had happened to her. "W-... why am I in here?" She questioned, rather confused once she noticed where she was.

Luna's relieved grin turned into a frown. "You..." her voice shook as she continued, "You cut open your vein...you nearly died, Raven."

Raven felt a wave of guilt among her, and she looked at her wrists. Bandages, gauze, and cotton were wrapped tightly around them, brown with dried blood.
"Damn... I probably snapped..." Raven mumbled to herself. She may not remember wait exactly had happened, but she does recall having severe depression.

Luna frowned, wishing she could hug Raven to cheer her up. "It's okay, though, you should be fine..."

Raven looked up at Luna, a small smile broadening upon her face.
"Hey, I think my blood sugar's a bit low..." She started. "Can someone ask for a Coke please? I'm kinda thirsty." The goth girl mentioned. "Could do with some caffeine and sugar..." She said. Blade shook his head.
"Your blood in general is low!" Blade said softly. "You lost a lot..." He stated. Raven looked up at him, her lips pursed as she shrugged.
"I feel fine, just a bit... wasted." She said with a soft chuckle.

Luna, ever the health expert, counseled, "Well considering you're as wasted as you are, soda'd probably make you worse." She walked over to the sink and filled a small cup with water and handed it to the injured goth. "Here you go."

Raven jutted out her bottom lip. Blade rolled his eyes. He could tell she'll be better within hours- she's picky when it comes to water. The goth girl looked up, with golden puppy eyes.
"But I only like water with ice!" She pouted, sticking the tip of her tongue into the cup, and softly dipping it upon the surface of the water. She then licked again. "And I suppose licking it can be fun too..." She said, continuing to fling her tongue into the cup.

Cody rolled his eyes. "Now's not the time to be picky."

Raven chuckled.
"Heheh, sorry..." She then downed the cup of water, and placed the empty paper cylinder upon the table beside her.

Luna grinned. "It's fine."
