~^*~^*Ruby~^*~^*

Denis walked into his room. It was late in the night, about two in the morning. He closed the door behind him and stood there. He stood facing his cold metal door, staring at it.

He didn't want to turn around, not with him knowing that Ruby was laying in his bed in a comma.

After five mintues passed he turned around and there she was. Laying in the same position he had put her in.

He walked over to her slowly, his eyes staring at her face. His hand reached over and took hold of a chair and pulled it closer to him as his eyes stayed on her. He sat in it and didn't move. He didn't speak or move. He just sat there, like he always did every time he enter his room.

He just stared at her as his mind raced. He could still remember that fateful day with every detail, every feeling and emotion that was running through him. The day his life came close to crashing down, The day he felt his heart racing a mile a minute in his chest. He could feel his heart bounding against his rib cage so hard it hurt.

~^*~^*Flash back~^*~^*

"Ruby!" He yelled as he saw her under water. Her eyes was wide open.

He raced towards her and slipped his hands under her body before lifting her up out of the water.

Water splashed everywhere when he took her out. He placed her on the floor and grabbed her face.

"Ruby....Ruby!" He held her face up to his

Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as he gently shook her head and tap her cheek with his hand. Trying to get her to come back.

"No!...No, no, no. Don't do this to me, Don't do this to me Ruby" He said in a scared voice.

At that moment it was the first time he was ever felt scared. The first time he ever tasted fear, not since he was a child.

He swallowed the lump in his throat and started CPR.

He pushed down on her chest, counting to ten in his head. His eyes was dilated as he looked back at her face. For a reaction, for her eyes to open, for her to start coughing up water....for anything, but yet she did nothing but lay there.

Adrenaline was rushing through him and his pulse was out of this world.

He kept pushing on her chest desperately before he stopped and grabbed her face, blowing air into her.

"Come on Ruby...Please don't.." he croak as he pushed on her chest again and blew air into her lungs.

He finally stopped the CPR and picked up her head, cradling it gently. "Ruby....come on..wake up for me"

He placed his forehead on hers gently as he closed his eyes, ever so gently stroking her neck. He breathed in deeply before he spoke. "Ruby....come on...wake up. You can't do this...you have to much to live for, your whole life is ahead of you. Please come back..." He said in a weak voice.

"Please come back....Please come back Ruby"

He opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes was shiny as if tears was forming in his dark emotionless eyes, But at that moment those eyes most people know as dark, cold and empty was filled with emotion. Fear, pain, desperation, and regret raced in his eyes for the first time.

"Please come back..." He said again.

"Pleas come back for me.....Come back.....Come back to me" His voice was pained and desperate, but at that moment...was the moment a pulse sparked up in her wet, cold body.

Denis felt that pulse and checked to make sure he felt what he thought, that he wasn't imagining it. When he knew for sure it was pulse he placed her on the floor and jumped up. He ran to the door and yelled out into the hallway.

"Someone get a doctor!! Get a doctor! I need a doctor in here!" He yelled.

"Someone get the fucking doctor!" His voice roared through the hallways.

Three men raced up the stairs to Denis.

When Denis looked at them and didn't see a doctor with them at all his face harden like it usually did.

"Did you not hear me? I said someone get the fucking doctor and you came to me empty handed!" He grabbed one guy by the shirt and lifted him up, off his feet.

His eyes looked like it popped out of his head. Fear flashed in his eyes.

"The doctor is one his way Denis....He said he would be right there" a guy said. Denis eyes flashed to the man who spoke before he let the man He was holding go.

He let him go so fast it was like he was touching fire.

"I don't want to hear he is on his way! i want to hear he is coming up those fucking stairs! Tell him if he's not here in the next minute he will be the one needing a doctor!" he threatens.

His voice was dangerous and serious. The men nodded and ran down the hall.

Denis turned around and ran back into the bathroom. He checked for her pulse again, the fear of her not having a pulse anymore sat in his heart.

When he felt the pulse he let out a breath He didn't know he was holding, but the fear still sat in his heart. Her pulse was weak and faint. She didn't have much time....She didn't have time at all and he knew it and that's what scared him the most.

He laid a towel on her naked body and lifted her up in his arms. He ran out of his room with her in his arms as the doctor came up the hall.

"Took you long enough!" Denis roared, venom on the tip of his tongue.

"I'm sorry Denis...I was busy taking care of something" he said but Denis cut him off.

"I don't want it hear it! She tried to commit suicide. She tried to drown herself. She has a faint pluse"

The doctor took her and raced to the infirmary. "She doesn't have much time" he said going down the stairs.

Denis followed, hot on his heels.

~^*~^*Flash back over~^*~^*

He blinked as he snapped back into reality.

His blood was pumping, heart racing, and pulse going crazy as a bead of sweat formed on his forehead.

The flashback felt too real, he could feel his body coat with sweat as he tried to get his nerves in check. He wiped his forehead and inhaled deeply, putting his face in his hands.

He lift up his head and looked at her. She looked so peaceful and relaxed. She didn't even look like she was in a comma, more like sleeping.

After long moments of him watching her something happened. Something that made his heart stop, and the world around him freeze

Her finger had twitched.

It was so fast he barely saw it....he actually thought it was all in his head. After a few seconds consulting with himself about what happen he knew what he saw. He had saw her finger twitched.

He moved closer, scooting his chair closer to her bed as he sat at the edge of his seat.

He took her hand into his and licked his lips slowly, His eyes staring hard at her face. His mouth and throat suddenly was dry, making it hard for him to talk. His stomach formed into a knot as he cleared his voice desperately.

His next words was a whisper...

"Ruby?"
