"Her names Candice"

I paused for a brief moment.

"She was the love of my life before she died in a motorcycle accident"

Adora's POV

I don't think I've ever seen Catra is such a vulnerable and miserable state. She must've really held onto Candice when she was lonely.

I wasn't sure of what to say or do in situations like this. I wanted to comfort Catra but didn't know how.

"Candice and I had met during our freshman year in my old school. She had everything a girl wanted to have and a girl every boy wanted to date, yet I was the one who caught her attention" Catra paused as her voice quivered.

The memories must've struck Catra at this point, her eyes wandered down to the palm of her hands as she was fidgeting with her fingers.

"We started hanging it and eventually she'd ask me to be her girlfriend and I gladly accepted, she was the first person I've ever been together with so everything was still very new to me, but she was there to guide me through it. Every step, everything we did, she was there"

"After being together for two years I decided to take my motorcycle license. That was the biggest mistake I've ever done. Once I passed I suggested we celebrated it by going to our favorite place. It was a raining day so the roads were quite slippery a-and that's when.." Catra stopped, containing herself from breaking down.

I could she see was having a hard time and it completely broke my heart seeing her like this. The Catra I knew was always so lively and badass.

I almost didn't recognize Catra. She wasn't the type to open up and that's why I was so grateful when she slowly started softening up to me.

"Catra, would you like me to hug you?" I asked in case she needed space. Catra softly nodded her head as she'd curl herself up into a small ball.

I scooted myself over to Catra and gently wrapped my arms around her tiny and fragile body. She didn't bother hugging me back and I was totally okay with that.

Catra huffed out and clenched her fists before continuing.

"Things slipped causing me to lose control over the motorcycle. We crashed right into a another car which set us both into a coma. When I woke up I got the informations from the doctors that I had been in a coma for approximate one week and as for Candice.. she.. s-she wasn't as lucky a-as me" Catra finished her sentence, this time she couldn't help the tears for falling down.

"Oh Catra.. I'm so sorry, I'm sure Candice is proud of you for coming this long" I said and hugged her tighter, Catra tensed up a bit but hugged me back.

Her tears were staining the collar of my shirt.

"Adora.. I don't want to lose you like I lost her. I don't" Catra's word made my heart flutter but I couldn't brush away the thought that whatever we had will never be as good as she had with Candice. I'll never be able to give everything to Catra the way Candice did to her, and that thought made my heart ache.

"Even after knowing you for such short time, it feels like I've known you for years Adora. I haven't felt this much for anyone in so long. Please, I don't want you to l-leave me" her voice was cracking up, but still managed to spit out.
