Sebastian's Perspective
"You wouldn't have lost me in any reality, Sebastian," Belle whispered as her eyes glistened with unshed tears, her arm raising to caress my cheek.
I took her hand and raised it to my lips before placing it back on the space between us where we sat on the couch. My knuckles were bruised, split skin marking them with blood, but the stinging feeling was nothing compared to how I felt seeing her hurt.
"I was still afraid, Belle. I couldn't take any chances. Not after everything that I've done to you."
We exchanged words in a silent conversation for a few seconds, her eyes slowly transforming into one of acceptance and understanding.
While it was true I would've fought for her, my previous actions, and how much I'd pushed her away came surfacing to my mind. I was convinced I would have lost her for good a few nights ago if I let her walk out that door.
I shuddered to think what would have happened if I'd let her know sooner that I'd been the one she was exchanging letters within the dead of night, silent secrecies passed between us. My mind unravelled an endless tide of the worst case scenarios, all of which left me standing alone at the end of the path without her hand to hold on to.
Perhaps I was selfish to have kept it to myself for as long as I did. Even though I wasn't sure in the beginning, I felt in my heart that it was Belle. That she was Eurydice. I'd indulged in the selfishness of keeping it a secret behind doors because I knew I couldn't have her in the real world. That at least, I had her in secret, even if she didn't know it. She kept me going for so many nights and she didn't even know it.
Call me selfish for it. I've named myself worse for all that I've done.
I reached for the Wiggenweld Potion on the table after a few moments of silence between me and Belle, the couch creaking a little from my movement. I couldn't handle seeing the physical damage left on her skin knowing damn well it had seeped into her bones.
