True Love

The Choice Is Made

So um now that that’s over, do you wanna walk with me?

 

Um, yeah sure. The sun hitting the Evergreens created long, dark shadows. This made Ashe nearly impossible to see as she hung around watching. Some would say she was acting slightly like zed even though to say that to Ashe would be an insult to her nature.

 

Ezreal, i’m sorry about how I had to tell you about Jarvan. I just thought that since we wouldn’t be together again, I should make it quick.

 

I understand Lux. It wasn’t your fault.

 

So you forgive me?

 

Of course. They both smiled and embraced each other. Little did they know that in the shadows, a queen was running away, trying to hide the tears that were pouring through her eyes.

 

Ezreal and Lux were oblivious to Ashe’s actions and kept up their conversation.

 

So Ez, is it finally time for you to come with me to Demacia? Ezreal hesitated.

 

I...I um… Ezreal was at a loss for words. He didn’t know who to choose.

 

Ez?

 

I don’t think I’ll be coming back to Demacia.

Why not? Lux already knew what Ezreal was going to say.

 

There is someone here who needs me.

 

Who?

 

Ezreal had to say it. He looked up at the sky and sighed. Ashe. He braced himself for the worst.

 

Ashe? ASHE! I thought...you said that you would never…

 

I know but when you broke up with me, I thought that you had already replaced me.

 

But now that you know why I broke up, you realize that I love you more. Right?

 

I don’t know what I think. I don’t want to choose. I don’t think I’m ready.

 

Lux was enraged. Her eyes grew stormy, her figure stiffened. When you decide, I’ll be waiting for you in Demacia. She stormed off leaving a morose explorer behind.

Ezreal was back at Ashe’s palace. He didn’t know where she was. He entered only to hear sobs coming from her room.

 

Ashe? Ashe, you there?

 

Go away!

 

Wha...Why?

 

I saw you. In the forest, she said between sobs. If you want to go with that princess then I wont stop you.

 

Ashe, I-

 

I thought you said you loved me. But I guess I was wrong.

 

Ashe, I do love you.

 

Then why were you with her, she spat.

 

I can explain. She didn’t reply. Ezreal walked into the room. Ashe’s eyes were red and her hair was frizzled. She fixed him with a gaze full of sadness making Ezreal feel guilty.

 

Ashe, I love you. I didn’t choose her over you.

 

Then why were you with her.

 

She was telling me why she left me.

 

And after that? I saw what you did.

 

The whole thing?

 

I left after you chose her.

 

Ashe, I didn’t choose her. I chose to stay here. With you.

 

Ashe looked up. Hope filled her heart. You mean...you still

Ezreal smiled. Yes I still love you. Ashe jumped on him and held him down. Her eyes glowed with love. She brought her lips to Ezreal’s and held him and Ezreal knew he had made the right choice.
