Another Place To Fall

[Will Wright]

What?
"So you did do this to yourself?" Not another delf harmer...please! Will thouhgt desperately.
Nearly a third of the school's pupi;s who came in here were self harming themselves and although Will was always happy to help she was getting tired of doing it.
Why can't they just discuss their problems with someone? Why do they resort to self harming?!

"There was no other option, Will," She felt guilty evading the question but, she had answered truthfully! She changed tack, reminding herself anger solved nothing, and instead tried to appeal to Will's compassion, "I'm sorry. I just...talking about it is difficult."

[Will Wright]

"Still, you should have come to me, on me you can rely, I would be here, everyday, I always am at least a very good bit of the time all you had to do was come," Will said sympathetically.

"It isn't a stranger's business to take responsibility of my problems. But, thank you for the sentiment..." Misa said, just managing to keep the phrase light-hearted. She couldn't let Will see how much she meant that, to what depth she felt it...

[Will Wright]

Will sighed and looked away.
She was getting nowhere with her and she knew she should just give up.
"Right, well I'll finish healing you and then I'll leave you alone, but you're not to move from here, understand?" Will asked as she carried on.

[misa]

She'd done it. She had kept her secret, and with it her dignity. She stayed silent as Will finished bandaging her burns, or whatever of them hadn't been healed already. Then Will fell still and Misa found herself at an utter loss as to what she should say. She supposed Thank you was appropriate but, she couldn't find it in herself to thank the only reason she was currently in hospital, regardless of the fact she had tried to reverse the damage. She tried not to let the resentment show on her face but, she knew she probably wasn't suceeding.

Will watched Misa carefully. Ok, she probably did deserve to get snubbed and tiny bit. Misa wouldn't have been here if it hadn't been for her.
"Well, there you go," she sighed as she let go of Misa's arm.
"You're free to go, unless you want to stay here and chat just for the sake of it?" Will asked.

"Miss Wright, I would like to keep Miss Matsuyama in for observation," Nurse Gornray appeared as though from nowhere, making Misa jump. She wanted to keep her in, "But why?" Misa asked. She really didn't want to stay here.
"You appear healed, but all the same there is a particularly unpleasant bug doing the rounds at the moment and you look peaky already, your file says you have weak ammunity and I don't think a complication would do you well at the moment..." The Nurse waffled on, but Misa wasn't listening. Her file? She had a file! But where had they got that information from? She ought to object, but she was so tired, too tired for all this, really she just wanted to sleep, and this bed was really quite comfortable...
"Okay," She murmured. "but could someone tell Dylan I'm here?" She asked in afterthought.

[Will Wright]

"Sure, I will, if that's ok with you?" she added on looking at the matron.
"Not just yet, you have a lot of chores to catch up on and you're not going anywhere until you do missy!" Matron frowned at her.
"Ok, I won't. Misa, I'll tell him when I get a chance to get out og here ok?" Will looked at her friends face.
Fire was an awful thing and if it wasn't controlled carefully enough, things could get out of hand easily and quickly.

[misa]

"Thanks Will," Misa said softly, the warmth of the pillows, the medication and the shock carrying her off to somewhere softer, less firey.

Briefly before she was completely gone she wondered if it was such a good idea for Dylan to be coming to see her like this, but she didn't have time or the capacity to think on it long before her mind succumbed to the gently beckoning comfort of sleep.
