It's Complicated ♧ n.h. [unedited]

Chapter 27

(Part 1)

Liz’s POV

It was a little after midnight, Niall and me had just avoided the guys so we could have some time to ourselves.

We walked outside to the pool and just sat on the edge, so only our feet were in the water and we were holding hands.

“Soo… I was thinking… I really want to be with you, because I love you… and when people love each other they would do anything for them…so I guess what I’m trying to say it’s that I don’t mind the risks of being with you” Niall finished.

I shook my head… “Niall, I could never live with myself if something ever happened to you because of me… and this is not only about you, it’s the guys too because you are always together so you would ALL be at risk for being close to me” I told him slowly, trying not to upset him.

“What are you trying to say, that we don’t get to be happy? I refused to let something like this keep us apart!” he replied.

“This is not a game Niall, it’s lives that would be at risk and I know it may seem like I never took what I do seriously because I even make jokes about it but that’s just a front, in reality I know it’s serious, I know I can get hurt or die and I know bad stuff can happen to someone close to me… I love you I do but you don’t have to do sacrifices for me, loving me with all this baggage and weirdness it’s more than I could ever ask for. So… I’m retiring from Eclipse” I stated and looked at his face to see his reaction.

“But, but…. You love fighting…” he whispered confused.

“But I love you more” I said quietly.

“Can you do that…retire? How?” he asked… here comes the hard part.

“Well…. Not exactly retiring because if I did spies would still look for me…. Niall… I have to fake my own death” I finished and Niall’s mouth hung open.

“Like in the movies? But they always show like it’s dangerous” he said turning around to face me.

“That’s because it is” I whispered, “a lot could go wrong if you try to fake your death, that’s why most spies retire, changed their names, and buy an island or something”.

“I don’t want anything to happen to you because of me” he said so quietly I almost didn’t hear what he said.

“Don’t worry, it will be alright. I told Andrew and the Captain and they have a plan, we will execute in a couple of nights and if everything goes right…. We will be able to be together…. Not publicly though, not for a least a year while the members of Shadow forget I existed” I told him which made him look really worried, but it was the only way…

 

Part 2

Liz’s POV

“It’s weird, knowing this is probably the last time I will be wearing this clothes” I said to no one really but Andrew answered.

“We will miss you. You were one of the best, but I understand why you want to leave this part of your life behind. Honestly you made a good choice, love should always go first and happiness comes along with that so it’s priceless. But remember if anytime you need anything at all you can always count on me…” Drew finished and I smiled and gave him a hug.

“I know, thanks” I replied.

“You ready?” he asked and I nodded “Let’s do this” I said and we walked out of my secret room.
