Y/N's POV
When I woke up I was in the hospital. The only people there, thankfully, were my parents and Ava. I moved slightly to let them know I was up, and, as expected, my mother came up and hugged me.
"Oh my god, you're okay."
"Feel like shit, but yeah I'm alive." I told her
"So what happened?" my dad asked me.
"I forgot to take my medication. I didn't think it would be that bad."
"It shouldn't have been." said the doctor from before, as he walked into the room.
"Someone messed up the prescriptions you were supposed to receive. Your body became too dependent on the chemicals and went through an obviously violent withdrawal."
"So can we change my prescription?"
"Already have. Now, we've managed to get what you need into the least amount of objects possible."
"Meaning?"
"You'll only have to take two and a half pills three times a day. Two and a half when you wake up, again during lunch, and once more when you go to sleep."
"That's great!" I laughed, "It was starting to become a hassle to take all of them in a timely fashion."
"I'm glad to hear some good news." my father stated.
"Before you go..." Ava said to the doctor.
"Yes?"
"If he was sick before all of his medication, how come the symptoms started showing after?"
"Hm. I'll have to double check on this, but it could be that the unnecessary chemicals in his body heightened them, made them worse, or perhaps could've triggered dormant problems."
"That explains the coughing I used to have." I remarked.
The doctor turned to me before speaking once again.
"That's everything, you're good to go. I'll look further into what's going on."
I left the hospital with Ava at my side. My parents had already said their goodbyes.
"(Y/N), there's something you should know."
"Yeah?"
"When we were talking in the park, that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Then what do you want to talk about?"
"I.... nevermind, it can wait."
We got back to Beacon just in time for classes. It was just another day. After classes, I grabbed my black case, opening the window.
"Ready Coco?" I called.
"Yep!"
I tossed the case, expecting it to hit the floor, but it went up. The force of the bullets from Coco's gatling gun sent it upwards, destroying it in the process.
"What was in there anyway?" she asked.
"Nothing important. At least, not anymore."
"(Y/N)?" a voice said behind me.
I jumped from being startled, hitting my head on the window, which came down slamming itself on my head.
"Ah, FUCK!" I exclaimed, holding my head as I took it out of the windowsill.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"
It was Ruby, and she was sitting next to me.
"It's fine, the pain will go away any second now.
After waiting for the throbbing to leave, I started packing my things.
"Where are you going?" Ruby asked.
"I finally got my own dorm." I said, a grin spreading across my face.
"That's good to hear." She responded.
For some reason she seemed kind of sad.
"Hey, we'll still see each other around."
"I know."
I hugged her before leaving. I left the building and headed to another wing, where the second years live. I went up to the second story and entered my dorm. It was large, equipped with a full kitchen, a bathroom, a living room with furniture, and separate bedrooms.
"I'll only need one, maybe I'll have an office kinda thing, and an entertainment room." I muttered to myself.
After unpacking my things, I sat on the couch. I tapped my knee, looking around.
This place is so empty... If only I had money.
I sat there, bored. Team RWBY was out, so I couldn't invite them over. I grabbed my scroll and messaged Ava.
Hey, come to my dorm. Room 455. I'm bored out of my mind and want someone to talk to.
I waited for a response for a couple minutes, that is, until my scroll finally dinged.
Sorry, I can't. I'm busy. I have to catch up on all of the schoolwork and homework.
Crap... this blows...
I left, wandering the halls until someone bumped into me. The would've fallen, but my reflexes helped my grab their hand before they hit the floor.
"I-i'm sorry."
"It's fine, Velvet. I wasn't watching where I was going."
"No, i-it's my fault. I was running."
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, Coco told me to give you this, for your dorm."
She handed me a small box. I opened it, finding a large amount of cash.
"W-why? This is a lot of money! I can't take this!"
"She also told me to tell you that if you don't take it you're gonna d-die."
A-ha... the irony...
"She also said that if you want to pay her back that's fine, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to be her slave for the next two years. She did sell some of her top-of-the-line clothing to get it." she explained.
"Well, you're right. So I guess I don't have a choice."
I pat her head as I walked passed her.
"Thanks."
I went out to Vale, buying a TV, game systems, things like that. I had it all shipped to my dorm ahead of time.
As I walked back I looked into my wallet.
"Damn... they overpaid me. I could buy a frickin' house with all this."
A lightbulb turned on in my head as I passed the bank.
I walked in, made a savings account and put in about 75% of my money in.
"I'll just let that collect interest until I need it."
I returned to my dorm. When I opened the door, everything was already set up.
Who could've....
I felt a large weight on my back. Followed by familiar giggles.
"Guess who finished their homework earlier than anticipated..."
"Hmmm.... Cardin?" I asked teasingly.
"Nope."
She hopped off and kissed me on the cheek.
"I may have broke in, and got bored. So I put everything together, like puzzles."
"Thanks, do you like the dorm?"
"Yeah, I'll probably be spending most of my time here now."
"Ava..."
"I know, we're supposed to be 'broken up', but I don't want to leave you just yet. One more week?"
"Ava I-"
"Please?"
I looked into her eyes, those deep blue eyes that no one could deny. I sighed.
"Fine..."
"Yes!" she exclaimed happily. "Now, let's go test out those gaming systems of yours."
"No argument there." I chuckled, following her into the entertainment room.
