One last dance?

- platonic soulmates - ( Chapter 4 )

MATTHEW'S POV :
The moonlight is staring down at her . Hilighting her messy hair. Gosh I hope she's okay. I've been waiting for what feels like hours , it's not like I'm complaining . However I need her to wake up... I need to tell her how her name makes me smile. How hearing her voice gives me butterflies. How beautiful she is.
I nee her to wake up-
"Matthew?.." her eyes flicker open at me.
Oh my.. I've lost the ability to speak .. as if she has me in a chokehold .
"Oh my gosh Matthew are you okay? " her tone of voice makes me frown . She's worried ? Why is she worried?
"Matthew what happened? Are you alright?" God she's beautiful.
She touches my face . She's caught me off guard.
"Matthew?"
"Yes  l̶o̶v̶e̶ Lilith?"
She smiles. I can't stop staring at her.
She suddenly seems to reach back to reality and reminds herself that she doesn't actually love me. That she should be lying here , in a felid of flowers with some other man. Someone worthy of her grace . Of her kindness. Worthy of her.
"Where are we?" She whispers .
She looks scared . I don't know what to say. I don't even know where we are . I̶ d̶o̶n̶t̶ c̶a̶r̶e̶ .
"Matthew where are we goddamn it?!"
"I uh .." I don't know what to say , my eyes are fixated on hers .
"Matthew I'm serious!" She's angry , should I be angry at her ?
She's yelling at me but .. I-I can't be mad at her not after all of this. Not after having loved her for years . I can't throw her away . I don't want to lose her . Not yet.
"Is you hand okay?" I don't want her to hate me. I know I hurt her. Her arm still has marks from where I held her.
"It's fine." She mutters .
"Are you sure?"I can tell she's lying. I know her too well. I go to touch her arm. She flinches .
"It only hurts a little . I'll be fine " she admits.
"Can you walk Lilith ?" I needed to make sure . I know I'm the stupid one for jumping off the third story . My leg may be fractured but I can deal with that later . I need to make sure she's okay.
"My legs feel numb. I can try walking" she's so pure. She stumbles as she tries to stand up.
She's lucky that I was holding on to her dress.
"You sure you can walk?" I feel stupid asking because she is going to insist on walking even though she can't.
"Yep." She's limping .
We've been walking for a couple of minutes now. I have no clue where we are . But I can see some sort of light in the distance. I'm hoping that there will be some sort of place to stay there for the time being.
"Matthew.."she whispers .
"Hm?" I hate watching her walk in this condition , I hope she's finally giving in.
"Is it true?" She mumbles .
"is what true?" We've stopped walking .
"That you.."
"What is it?" I reply .
"Never mind. Sorry." We've started walking again . Now in silence .
She starts crying...
"Lilith?" Oh god is she okay?
She doesn't answer me .
"Lilith what's wrong?" I can't get her to talk.
I grab her dress causing her to stop walking.
She turns to face me . Her tears are flowing down the side of her porcelain face. This is so surreal. I don't feel like I should be here. When we were younger she would always go to her mother if she started crying . But now .. she doesn't have anyone to run to . Anyone to talk to . I thought to myself.
She cant stop crying she's stood there hanging her head down in embarrassment. She won't look at me . I Neal down to her . She tries to turn around. Before she manages to I stop her. I have never in my life been more sure then I am right now . She needs someone.
Teardrops flowing down her face , almost crystal like . I don't hesitate, not even for a second I don't even know if I'm doing this right . I pull her towards me and hold her . Under the moonlight sky . She doesn't resist the hug. She clings tightly to my shoulder. I can feel the warmth of her breath against my neck, her tears soaking into my midnight black shirt .
