Chapter 29

•Three Days Later•

"Four! Open the door, I know you're in there!" I call through his door. He hasn't talked to me in days and it's really getting to me.

The door stays closed and I sigh to myself.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. i was just afraid to tell you because... I don't want to believe that she's involved. She was my best friend from back home. I was trying to comprehend what's happening, before I told you." I whisper, mostly to myself. Tears fill my eyes and I quickly brush them away.

"Im sorry." I quietly add. I pull away from the door and as I turn around my face connects with something hard.

"Sorry!" I rush out and the person quickly catches me before I hit the ground. I look up and four stares down at me, his eyes swimming with emotions. A blush forms on my cheeks and I stand up.

"Thanks." I whisper.
"I heard what you said." he states.
"You weren't meant too." I reply.

"Well I did and I should be apologizing. Im sorry that I didn't let you explain. Its just that I... I keep wondering. If Robert wanted you back, would you go with him? I know I shouldn't think that, but I do and I can't help it. He's known you for years. I've known you for a solid three months-"
"Four, it's not about how long you know someone. It's about how much they've changed your life. And you have changed my life drastically. You've made me see things that I couldn't before. If Robert wanted me back I would tell him that I was in love with you." I interrupt. A smile lights up his face and he pulls me into a kiss.

"You just said that you were in love with me." he murmurs in between kisses. My cheeks heat up and I pull away.

"I-I-I. I didn't realize that I-"
"I'm in love with you too." he interrupts. My heart clenches and I slam my lips against his. He immediately wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me off the ground. He pushes his door open then shuts it and locks it. My heart unsteadily beats in my chest and he sets me down.

"You have no idea how long Ive wanted to tell you that." He murmurs.
"Why didn't you?" I ask in between kisses.
"I was afraid you would get scared away." he admits. We breathlessly part and I look up at him.
"I'm still here." I hoarsely whisper.

"I know." he chuckles and pulls me into a tight hug. My arms wrap around his shoulders and he bends down to be the same height as me. I get lifted off the ground and carried to his bed. He tosses me on to it, then lays next to me. We immediately cuddle together and he rubs circles in my back.

"We're not moving too fast, right?" I question.
"I don't think so." he denies.
"Why?" He curiously adds.

"I don't know... I was just curious. I've never been in a serious relationship, so I don't know how this stuff works. I mean, it's not every day that I tell people I love them." I reply with a blush. He kisses my cheeks then looks me in the eyes.

"I've never been in a serious relationship either. I haven't told anyone i loved them since I was seven... You're the exception. Because from what I can tell, we have something real. Something that Ive never felt for someone else. And I really want to keep this." he states.

"I want to keep this too." I reassure. He smiles and I kiss his jaw.

"I'm glad that I came here. The circumstances weren't the best, my parents died, but I at least got something out of it." I whisper.

"I'm glad you came here too. Although I would have loved to meet your parents." he replies. I stay silent and he pulls me closer to his chest.

"I haven't slept in three days." he admits.
"Me neither." I giggle.
"I missed you in my arms." he tiredly states.

"I'm here now." I reply and his eyes shut. Small snores start to leave his mouth and I smile to myself. I've found someone that's worth fighting for. And I'm not giving up what we have together.
