Sonamy: Frozen Fire Still Burns

1

Amy's POV:

"Why, why must you do this to me, do you not love me anymore, do you not care about how I might feel about this at all?!" He nearly shouted, his voice laced with worry and almost pleading. I turned to face him, tears staining my cheeks but a smile on my face. "Oh sweetheart, I'm not doing this to hurt you" I say gently "I'm doing this because I love you" I say as another tear escapes and I try to suppress the sobs itching at my throat.

He strides over to me in a swift motion and quickly wraps me in a warm embrace, tracing circles on my back in a soothing manner. "Please" he urges, holding me so gently as if I might disappear any second. I take the moment to look up into his eyes, his beautiful emerald green eyes that are filled with pain, I try my best to smile brighter, wrapping my arms around his neck in a (blah) way.

"I love you.." I whisper ever so softly, even though no one else was around, I wanted him to know that my words were meant for him and him alone.

His grip tightens, as if I'm the only thing keeping him alive at this very moment, almost as though I'm the air itself. "Please" he says again, softer but still urging.

We look into each others eyes, pain evident in both pairs. I reach up and gently cup his cheek in my hand, inching closer until our lips meet. I try to pour everything I'm feeling into the kiss, everything I don't have time to put into words 'I'm sorry.. This is for the best.. Please don't be upset.. I love you..'

All the emotions I was attempting to pour into the kiss, it felt like he was doing the same but instead trying to urge me to stay, begging almost but without using words.

The moment was truly wonderful ad I never wanted it to end but I knew it had to before everything I loved came crashing down at my feet. I pulled away from his lips and nearly had to fight myself not to be pulled right back in. Meeting his gaze once again I see the fresh tears rolling down his face, my heart ached at the sight of it, the sight of his pain.

His arms tighten around me ever so slightly, his last attempt in trying to get me to stay but we both knew that couldn't happen, even if I wanted to just rest in his arms for the rest of eternity I knew it was no longer an option, I knew what had to be done.

I slowly begin to pull away from him, wiping the tears from his face in a gentle and loving manner. More tears begin to stream down my face as I give him one last peck on the lips before releasing myself from his embrace completely. Trying to cope with all the pain and sorrow present in the air, I give him the best smile I can manage before I turn on my heel quickly and start heading towa--

BE-BEEP BE-BEEP BE-BEEP

Startled from the noise, I jump slightly and quickly take in my surroundings and realize that I'm in my own home. I glance down at the book in my hands and let out a sigh with a slight frown on my face, wishing that I were actually there. Still somewhat in a daze I look towards the kitchen, where the sound seemed to be coming from. Sniffing the air slightly, the smell of something burning wafts in the air.

Burning..? Burning!

I instantly snap back into reality and realize the beeping sound came from the alarm I set for the cookies I had baking in the oven. I rush to the kitchen, nearly slipping on the hardwood floor with my socks, something that would be fun at another time but not now considering the urgency of the situation at hand. I regain my balance as I skid to a halt in front of my now smoking oven.

"I must not have heard the alarm go off the first time, probably too focused on my book again" I mumble to myself as I proceed to quickly slip on my oven mits. As I open the oven, smoke almost immediately invades my vision and sends me into a huge coughing fit. I reach for the tray of the now burnt cookies and toss them onto the counter, saddened at my now ruined dessert.
