It had been a month since that night. The two warriors both masking their pain and trying to move on.

Solana had time to think about their relationship and think about what she truly wanted. The truth was all she wanted was Izogie, no matter the cost. But, what happens when she's hurt the warrior? Well, She found out. She desperately tried to get Izogie's attention this past week and failed. Izogie would either ignore her or she kept herself busy with training.

Izogie was hurting deeply though she didnt show it. Her heart ached for Solana. She tried avoiding her, it hurt too much to see her. She noted Solana was trying to get her attention. She even tried to get Amenza to talk to her. She didn't give in though, she couldn't take getting her back just for her to break her heart again.

Tonight was a celebration for the warriors winning another battle and the young warriors earning their position. After they did their sacred dance to celebrate, everyone was dancing and enjoying each other.

Solana took this as her chance. She knew Izogie wasn't the most keen on the celebrations. She enjoyed them at first but after awhile she enjoyed being alone. Solana made her way to the house, hoping Izogie was there.

To her luck, she walked in to find Izogie sitting on the couch in shorts and a tank top. She had her arms on the top of the couch and her head leaning back with her eyes closed. Solana slowly shut the door and stood in front of her. It had been weeks since she'd been this close to Izogie. All she wanted to do was sit on her lap and hold her.

She shook her thoughts and cleared her throat causing the warrior to look at her with low eyes. She was definitely intoxicated but she wasn't drunk.

" I need to talk to you Izogie."

Izogie sighed and tried to get up but Solana pushed her back down. Izogie accepted her fate and spread her legs as she leaned back into the couch.

" Talk." she said firmly

"I know what I said but having the time to think, I was able to realize what I want. I want you, Izogie. I know that I hurt you. I apologize for hurting you, it wasn't my intention but I did. I was scared of the possibilities and many things that could happen instead of what I wanted. Izogie, I love you. You are a beautiful person inside and out. I would love to fight side by side with you until our hearts are content. I don't just want to be with you at home, I want to be with you all the time. I want a real relationship with you, to grow with you, fight with you, and love you," she wiped a tear and took a deep breath before continuing, " I will give you time and space to think, Ill be in my room."

As Solana turned to leave, Izogie stood up and grabbed her arm making her face her. Solana looked down as Izogie stared down at her. Solana was about to try to leave again when Izogie grabbed her chin and kissed her slowly. Izogie's hands wrapped around her waist as Solana's hand slid up her arms before grabbing her face.

The two shared the kiss until their lips parted and they rested their foreheads on each other's.

Izogie went back and forth in her head. On one hand she knew this was her love, there was no other for her. On the other hand she knew how much it hurt when her love left her. She hated the battle she was in with herself and was wishing she drunk more alcohol beforehand.

She sighed before pulling away, " Just give me a couple days. I love you Solana but, this month has been one of the most painful days of my life. It hurt almost as much as you showing up nearly dead. My heart can't handle that pain, I can't handle that pain. So, give me some time to think and I will tell you. Okay, love?"

Solana nodded as tears fell down her cheeks and she bit her lip. Izogie placed a soft kiss to her forehead before heading to her room.

Once her door shut, Solana's tears fell and she sat on the couch and cried for what felt like hours. She weakly went upstairs and cleaned her face and got ready for bed.
