Forbidden Love

Taking off

Ever

Allyson found out I'm pregnant. Damen said he knows her good enough to know that she's going to tell both of our parents. I suddenly remember what would happen to me if the immortals were to find out about this. They would even kill my baby. Damen said we have to run away and at first, I didn't want to, but now that I see things for what they really are, I know that's the only thing to do. It's the only way. 

"But Damen, where will we go?" I ask. Then I remember that Skylar always is buying last minute flights to all these places. She could help us. 

"I don't know, baby, but we need to get out of here really fast," Damen answers. 

"Skylar can help us get out of here. Come on," I say as I grab him by the arms and run down the stairs. I call Skylar and tell her to get up, because we're coming over and she needs to take us to the airport. I say that I'll explain everything on the way there.

Skylar knows everything now. We're at the airport and we're literally running out of the car. We get to the ticket booth and I'm freaking out. It's amazing how you're life can change in only a few days. 

"I need two tickets to Waikiki that leave tonight," Skylar says. 

"Sure thing, honey," says the person at the booth.

She gives us our tickets and shows us that the flight leaves in 10 minutes. I hug her goodbye and shed a few tears as Damen and I board the plane.

This has been the hardest on Ever. I can tell that it hurt her a lot to have to leave everything behind and I can't help feeling like it's all my fault. I turn to look at her and kiss her cheek. 

Then I ask her, "Ever, do you hate me?" 

"What? Of course I don't, baby. I love you. This is just happening all so fast, but don't you dare think that this is your fault, because if anything, it's mine, too. I could've easily prevented this, by saying no, but I didn't. If you want to blame someone, blame the both of us," she says. 

"But I should've known better. I should've been, you know, protected," I say.

"I know, but you can't go back. What's done is done. We got caught up in the moment. Just think about it, though. We're going to be parents, Damen. I'm carrying our baby," she says to me with a hint of excitement in her eyes. 

I realize that what she's saying is true. I'm going to be a father. Wow, this is amazing. 

I smile and say, "I love you, Ever." 

I grin as she says, "I love you more, Damen."
