DUAL POV

For the best experience, listen to the song while reading <3

"Zafina?" He breathed out.

"Eli?" She says, tears flowing down her dirt-covered face. He embraces her without a second thought. "It's okay, it's okay." He repeats as if he's trying to make reality out of the situation, and Zafina nods into his chest continuously in response.

"You're here." He nods, "I'm here, baby."

"I missed you so much." Cupping his face, she stares deep into his green eyes and Eli succumbs to the warmth of her touch.

"I missed you." He chuckles shaking his head. Despite never-ending tears that cloud her vision, Zafina gently wipes his cheeks.

He looked at her the way she needed to be looked at — as if the whole world could crumble and he wouldn't blink. 

She was everything real in a world full of make-believe. She chased away his demons with the stars that glistened in her eyes.

"I want to be the queen of your heart." His chest was filled with a whisper from Zafina. "I want to be your moon, your sky, your dream, your everything." In the midst of their hug, Eli pulls Zafina aside and blinks at her. "I already am." A small smile stretches across his face. "No mountain nor sea, no thing of this world could keep us apart. Because this is not my world,

you are."

Tears cloud Zafina's eyes and Eli cups her face, "I love you." A single tear streams down her face. Holding her arms against Eli's, she slowly shakes her head as she had realized what he just told her. He profusely nods saying, "You make me happy my love — you make my heart happy."

She holds an unexplainable expression on her face, "I didn't say I love you to hear it back. I said it to make sure you knew." He says.

"I.. I don't want this to happen again and i've not let it be known. Not that it'll happen again but.. you should just know how I feel and I respect you even if you don't feel the same way about me.." He rambled.

Her gaze softens, "I love you too."

He told her he was lost in this world and she smiled because she was too. They were lost somehow but they didn't care. They had, in the chaos, found each other.

She was one of the rare ones. So effortlessly herself and he loved her for it.

Eli softly chuckles, "You know, the first few days of knowing you, it took every ounce of me not to kiss you. When I saw you laugh, it took every ounce to not fall in-love. And when I saw your soul — it took every. ounce. of me."

We hear a soft sniffle behind us, Valentina smiling as tears roll down her face. "This..." She motions her hands towards us, "Is beautiful." She finishes.

I smile gazing at Eli to find him staring down at me. Looking at my lips then back at my eyes. Our lips touch, he tries to stay in control of the kiss but I dominate it instead, gently biting his bottom lip then sucking on it to ease the pleasurable pain. I slowly back away and our lips detach from each other.

"Ew." Vlad scrunches his nose. "Shut up, Vlad." Valentina shouts.

Vlad and Valentina. The always-bickering siblings who are competitive of each other. I missed them a whole lot too. But not as much as I missed my man who stands beside me. My love, my baby, my everything. 

I dose off and gaze at nothing, thinking at Pablo and Leonardo. Are they both still alive? My main concern is if Pablo is dead, I hope so. Is Leo okay? I owe him everything for helping and keeping me company.

"Where's Pablo?" I tense. "Dead." Valentina responds. "I can't believe you're alive!" Vlad throws his hands up in in the air, "Who's alive? Is Zafina alive? Please tell me she is." Andrei says coming in the room with Alexei following behind.

"You are alive!" He grins walking towards us and snatches Zafina away from my grasp. "You're going to suffocate her." Alexei rolls his eyes.

"Move." He says and Alexei holds Zafina in a bear hug. Soon enough, we all come together, one by one, embracing each other in a loving hug. Lucky to be alive.
