Firefly
Chapter 20
Caleb jumped out of his car, and his striking headlights were immediately turned off. I could see again, but I was too out of it to move, even in the slightest.
I was just so thankful to find Caleb here.
I couldn’t think about it much, though, for before long, I found black spots as they danced around my vision, and this time, I was out for good.
* * *
My eyes opened wide. I was naked under a thin sheet on my hard bed. The sky shone blue through the window and Kayla and Grandma, along with Caleb, sat in my room.
“What happened?” I asked, but it came out stammered.
“You were beat up,” Caleb told me solemnly, and I realized he was wearing the same clothes he had been the night before.
I felt myself begin to shake, and Caleb wrapped his arm around me. “You’re okay now,” he assured. “I won’t let that happen again.”
I heard Grandma wheel out of the room with Kayla behind her and shut the door, leaving us alone.
I didn’t know what to say, so I waited for Caleb to say something first. “You denied him, didn’t you?” he murmured. “You said no?”
“I…” I stammered, still choking on my tears. “I couldn’t get you off my mind.”
He smiled slightly. “Yeah. It’s been that way with me too.”
“You’re not still mad?” I asked him.
“It wasn’t your fault,” he murmured. “You were just trying to protect me.”
“But you trusted me, and I lied to you.”
“Trust,” he corrected. “I still trust you.”
I felt the tears fall from my face as I looked to my lap.
“Can we try to make this work?” he asked.
I glanced up to him. “What?”
“Us?” he clarified. “Can we give it a second chance?”
I was shocked. “You still want to be with me after everything I put you through?”
He smiled a little. “Well, Firefly, you really lived up to your name.”
I erupted into a fit of giggles, pressing my lips against his, not caring if the sheet fell off my body. He smiled as he kissed me back, removing his top and throwing himself onto the bed with me.
“I think all it took was realizing how rude I was to you, how much I hurt you, for me to realize I loved you.”
“I love you too,” I assured him. “I love you too.”
He grinned, and together, we rolled beneath my sheets, switching positions, touching and loving each other.
Because, for the first time in my life, I was actually touching and loving someone I was actually in love with.
The End.
FINALLY IT'S OVER <3
I know the ending is too fast and awful for words, but don't say I didn't warn you.
Couple things.
1. Thank you for accepting me back! I was so nervous when I was posting, I didn't know if I was wanted or not, so it was nice to gain my old fanbase back (:
2. thesweetestmoments is perfection.
3. My next story will be posted tomorrow night. It's called, "Hold on to Him," and here's a teaserrrr.
"She grinned deviously. “You like him.”"
The first few chapters are a bit boring, I will admit, but I think it is the best story I have ever written, and I hope you guys enjoy it as well (:
