Blue Dreams (Larina)

Chapter 63

Marina's POV:

"I need to call my Dad," Lizzy said, walking towards the bedroom.

"Not right now," I said, grabbing her arm. "You're going to yell at him. It's not fair for him to get in the middle of this. He didn't mean to get into this. He doesn't know the drama with Suzi. Please, Lizzy, don't call him out. You'll yell and accuse him of things just like you did with me. Don't lose him again,"

Our fight started to replay in my head. I know she was just angry at the situation but I hated having her angry at me. Why couldn't she trust me? I even started to doubt myself. That fight caused some of my darkest thoughts to come back. If this is what will happen every time we fight, I don't know how we can proceed. I don't want to leave her, either. She's the best thing to happen to me. You know, this would make a great song. It's just one fight, though. Every couple goes through fights. It can't always be perfect, right? The honeymoon stage always has to come to an end.

Maybe it's a good thing this fight happened. Her eyes gleamed with love despite our yelling. It shows where we have flaws. No relationship is perfect, and neither is ours. However, we can work through them, just like we did before. Maybe we can be happier than before.

To be happier, we need to work this out. If Lizzy went to call Rob right now, she'd blow up at him just because she's mad at the world. I can't allow that to happen.

"No, baby," Lizzy said. "I need to call him. Mom will try to ruin our relationship,"

Lizzy started to cry again after she said that. Her head tilted to the floor as she moved Clementine closer to her. I got up and wiped a tear off of her cheek.

"And she almost succeeded," Lizzy said, crying harder. "I almost let her ruin the best thing that ever happened to me,"

My arms wrapped around her in a warm embrace. I lifted her head and looked into her eyes. I couldn't be mad at her; I needed to comfort her.

"Lizzy," I said. "I love you. I will always love you. Your mom can't break my love for you,"

"She's spread so many lies about me, ruined my life so many times. I know she'd try to end our relationship," Lizzy said.

"She did try," I said. "But I still love you. I think we should talk it out before you call Rob,"

"I guess," Lizzy said.

We sat on the couch and I held her hand. She set her vape down on the table but still held Clementine. I smiled as I put Rose in my lap. She looked into my eyes and I saw a slight smile crack on her face alongside tears.

"I'm so fucking sorry," Lizzy said. "I don't know what got into me. I just saw the text and got angry at the world,"

"Lizzy, I get it," I said. "I know you didn't mean it, but it hurt when you couldn't trust me,"

"It's just that you mentioned her last night," she said p9iů (A/N: Thank you to my two-year-old cat for that one). "It was perfect timing in my fucked up mind,"

"I would never do that to you, my love," I replied. "I know how much she hurts you. She sent you away and said never to come back. She tried to ruin your career. God, she wouldn't even let you be a waitress. She would spread lies about you all over. I don't know why I wanted to meet her last night. I'm sorry I brought her up, "

"You're the first person I've ever dated who understood my relationship with her," Lizzy said with a tear and a smile. "Everyone thought it was something they could fix. They never understood that a crack in the wood could be part of a beautiful piece of art,"

"I fucking love you," I broke into a smile. "You speak like a poem,"

"My life is my poetry," she said with a shrug with a giggle.
