Her.

Forty.

Faye laid in bed replaying the events of earlier today feeling bad, but somehow London deserved the truth no matter how ugly it was, she could finally move on and let go of the toxicity Faye gave, they both didn't deserve the pain...it was best to end up as strangers. To never look back and to find new things to latch on...Faye sighs rolling her eyes grabbing her phone but the sound of light banging comes into play, her head perks up at the window seeing pebbles being throw at it. She slips out of bed to see William stand there waving his arms out her window, she furrowed her brows disappearing heading downstairs, her mind going back to Jake who had left back to Nevada with his girlfriend.

She opens the door seeing William stand with a big smile on his face, his face red from the cold night wind. "What the fuck are you doing here so late at night?" She says grabbing his shirt pulling him in the warm house. "Where's Lexi? Does she know you're here?"

"Thats why I'm here." He says closing the door shivering, her eyebrows furrowed. "We had a talk about moving to Ohio where her family is and...I said no."

"And you came here like I'm some booty call?" Faye rolled her eyes shaking her head. "Why does this shit only happen to me?"

"Faye, no! I didn't come here for sex...Lexi was saying something about how she needed to go adventuring, figure herself out to see what she wants...she asked me if I wanted to come...I thought about saying yes and getting the fuck out of LA...but you came in my mind." He explains seeing Faye was getting the hint as she shook her head holding her hand up at him.

"No, no,no,no." She argues. "Your confused, go be confused with Lexi in Ohio...I can't deal with all this shit." Faye turns to go upstairs but William softly grabs her hand stopping her tracks looking at him. "William-"

"Faye, you know that my heart belongs to you...I...I can't handle the friends with benefits thing...I want what we had before; the pure young love we had. I hate we didn't even have a friendship as if we had no past, as if the connection was gone. Faye Rose...I can't lie to myself anymore, even if you reject me...at least I know I tried." He said "I understand you don't want a relationship right now but I'm willing to build to that point if you say yes...because if not I'll leave with Lexi and go to Ohio."

"William, I need some time to think...this is overbearing with all the London drama."

"London seemed fine when I said 'Hi' to Aleixa."

"What?"

"They were at some bar dancing and kissing one another, Faye...I don't wanna say that to be a gossiper but...I thought you two were completely done." He furrowed his brows, Faye studying his face to see If he said that to be an asshole but William was too good for that sort of stuff, he wasn't a drama person at all. It hurt Faye a great deal to hear that but she brushed it off since thats exactly what she wanted for her...go look for someone worth her time.

"How do I know I'm not some fucking rebound?" Faye spoke. "I broke your heart, you must be coming back for some reason."

"Faye..."He cupped her cheek looking down at her with love in his eyes, feeling herself become the young Faye that fell in love with those emeralds. "You know all I've wanted to do was make you mine. I have another chance at that and I'm willing to go at it if you give me an answer."

Faye's eyes went big, the fear setting in...maybe it wasn't a relationship right now but maybe it could blossom into the pure affection she had. She wasn't in the right head space for a commitment, fearing she would turn to the Faye that cursed anyone...but she swallowed it. "You promise you won't leave me and hurt me, Will? I-I don't wanna be hurt again."

"I Love You, Faye White." He whispers as a tear streams down his cheek. "How can I hurt you?"

She half grinned, "Okay, Will...stay with me." Her eyes staring back at Willams, who laughs as another tear goes down his cheek. She presses her forehead against his, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him tightly as he picks her up spinning her around both of them laughing.
