Ocean Eyes

Lucys P.o.V
Confused, he looked to me. "What?"

"I'm an addict...this drug is called Colin.", I got a little sad and looked away.

Smirking, he sat up a little and reached for my hand.

"Can you promise me something?", he breathed softly, stroking the back of my hand gently.

"Depends on what...", I say, looking at him seriously.

"I don't want River to come up with such a shitty idea again.... even if there was a time when we hated each other, nobody deserves something like that.... could you make some friends with him and stop him from trying something like that again while I'm gone?"

"Sure...", I breathed and snuggled up to him. "I don't want to lose you forever..."

Sighing, he closed his eyes without responding to my statement. "Thank you..."

I sat down behind him and started braiding, even though he had short hair, a little bit always goes a long way.

"What are you doing?" he grumbled, putting his hair in my lap.

"I'm making you braids.", I grinned, when I noticed you had fallen asleep I secretly took a picture of him.

Peacefully, he slumbered away. I was gently stroking him when a woman stepped in. She was wearing loose clothes in purple and black. Her nose was small and her eyes were dark underlined. Her blond hair was somewhat permanent and her cheeks were reddish. She was beautiful, she had to be Kelly.

"Hi...", I breathed intimidated.

Damn, it's obvious he's going to take that one.... she's an absolute 10/10.

"How is he?"

Quietly, she stepped closer and squatted on the floor next to his stomach.

"Good... Through the heroin..."

Sighing, she stroked his thigh.

"I should never have let him start.... He's so addicted to it, he goes nuts when he doesn't get any."

"Never witnessed it before...", I sighed "I'm Lucy by the way...", I extended my hand to her.

"I know... who else would sleep with my fiancé...", she ignored my hand and looked at his stomach.

"Fiancé...? Kelly... me... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay... he just has me as a means to an end.... But I can live with that."

"What do you mean?", I looked at her as I continued braiding.

"To forget you... he takes my body and the heroin to forget you, whity."

I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Are you okay? You look so pale?"

"It's my fault... You know?", I said.

"What's your fault?" Confused, she eyed me.

"The situation...", I breathed, looking down at the floor.

"I guess you could say that," she sighed.

"What time is it?", I changed the subject.

"A quarter past eight. Why?"

"Fuck... I've been over it for two hours..."

Wincing, she looked at me. "Two hours is better than not at all..."

"You sure?" I reached to my bag pulled out the pill and swallowed it.

"Sure... I've delayed taking them more than once, except that one time... I forgot..."

"I'm sorry...", I breathed and looked at the floor again.

"It's not your fault."

Colin's P.o.V
Tired, I opened my eyes and reached for my head as something tugged at it.
I heard my angel sigh and.... wait, did she have my whole head tangled? Annoyed, I tousled through my hair so it all came back up and lay on my side.
She giggled and stroked me, smirking.

"Looked good, though."

Smirking, I reached for her hand and intertwined our fingers together. She allowed it, however, not daring to look at Kelly. To be honest, I didn't feel sorry for her one bit.

"I'll leave you alone.", she breathed hurtly and hurried out of the room.

Lucy's P.o.V.
I looked after her, she is his fiancée. Not me, what am I imagining? Sadly I looked at the mattress and thought, but no matter how hurt she was, after a week at the latest she would have him all to herself again and then I would be grieving, so I would make the most of the time until that moment... and then I would find a distraction too.... Maybe a baby or something. Sick thought, huh?
Silently he remained lying and gave me a kiss on the back of my hand.
I looked at him and kissed him gently.

"I'm going to fly tonight," he murmured softly after breaking away from me.

"What? I'm not going to see you again? Never again.... that...that sounds weird...", I stroked his chest.

"Not in this life anymore...", sighing, he kissed me.

I tenderly replied, "I hope your marriage lasts..."

"It won't... so over there it's a matter of honor if you leave a married woman alone..."

"So for her safety...?"

"Yes."
"I really won't see you again...?"

"Yes...", my eyes fell on the clock. "Ten more hours..."

"It sounds just so surreal...What would you think about me going off the pill...? That at least I'd have something to remember you by...? You wouldn't have to worry about it.... I'll do it all by myself... Then I'd have my little Nick... Or my little Lorry, Amy or May"

"That would just mean more danger if they knew you had a kid.... It would be the perfect leverage."

"Okay... That means I can't have kids like this either?"

"Yes, of course you can, but not by me."

"Okay," I sighed and snuggled up to him. "I don't want this... I'll never find anyone... I'll always have to think about you..."

"I don't want it either, but it has to be this way..."

"What if... If you marry me and take me with you...?"

"Then Kelly will die."

"Kelly can stay here with Kai.... "

"Don't you think there would be a reason why she came with me then? She's being persecuted here just like me."

"Ou... ", I breathed against his chest and tickled through his hair.

And so we fell asleep, yes. We slept. We had slept through the rest of the time we had been high together.

"Colin, are you coming?", Kelly shot frantically into the room, bouncing up and down nervously.

He startled and rubbed his eyes rapidly breathing.

Colin's p.o.v.
Deeply sad, I straightened up with a groan and reached for my jacket.
Lucy looked at you, her eyes glazed over.

"Goodbye, kiddo... at least try..."

She squeezed out a smile and quickly wiped away a tear.

"Okay...", she breathed. "I love you...", she gave me another kiss before breaking away from me and looking away sadly to hide the tears.

I silently decided to turn around and leave with Kelly, not wanting to make the goodbye any harder.

Lucy's P.o.V.
I was still sitting in bed for a long time, silently crying, when I recognized a person in the doorway. What was River doing there?
He presented me with two bottles of whiskey followed by a grin.
