The world that I cry

18

Back to Arielle's pov...

The bed is so comfy, it felt like clouds on my skin. I showered already and got into my pajamas, so I felt more relaxed. Morcar is in the bathroom, I don't know what he's doing, maybe brushing his teeth or something. I grabbed my phone and put my headphones in and closed my eyes. Harry Styles is really such a life saver, his music is so relaxing,well... Maybe not watermelon sugar. I open my eyes to see Morcar just standing there, looking at me. I take my headphones out and put them back on the side. So much for listening to my song.

"What?" I look at him and smile. He said nothing, just looked at me. "Stop it." Maybe don't stop it.

"Wanna talk?"

"About?"

"I- well I don't know I was just wondering if-"

"Sshh, I'm joking. Of course I want to talk to you, Morcar. So, girlfriend?" I look at him and laugh.

"I- shut up. What about what you said?" I look at him confused. What did I say? "I'm guessing you don't remember."

"Please don't be mad, just tell me. What did I say?"

"I'm not mad silly. When I told you to channel your powers, I told you to think of the emotions you feel for me and Coraline, and you said-"

"-They were two different emotions. Yes I remember now."

"So? What did you mean by that?"

"You're really gonna make me say it?" I look at him and he nods and smiles. "Fine, the emotions I feel towards Coraline are love. Not like, love love. Friendship love. I will do anything for her. But you, the emotion I feel for you is different because the love I feel for you isn't just friendship love, it is- well, love love. I love you Morcar. You really should know that by now."

"So what does that make us then?" He takes my hands in his and pulls me up close to the window. He puts one hand on my waist and the other in my hand. I rest my head on his shoulder and close my eyes.

"What do you want it to be?"

"Well- more than friendship I guess. Arielle." I could feel his heart start to race a bit more, I think I know what is happening. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I hold his hand tighter and start swaying side to side.

"No."

"What?!"

"I'm kidding, of course I'll be your girlfriend." I quickly move away from him and grab my phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Music." I opened my playlist and put on Sweet Creature by Harry Styles.

"Harry, again? You are still so obsessed." I laugh and run back into his arms. I could hear him humming the song quietly. This is nice, quiet, peaceful.

"What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know. When are we going to leave?" Morcar said softly.

"Whenever you're ready. We can stay here as long as you like, we can go tomorrow if you want."

"I don't care when we leave, as long as I'm with you." I could feel the butterflies in my stomach begin to rush around madly, I want this to be my forever.

"I don't want to live forever you know."

"I know you don't. We will find the book that your dad was talking about."

"But what if my da- Callan was lying."

"Then we will find another way." I felt so relaxed in Morcar's arms, I felt like I could just melt in them. "What's the time?"
