Never Not You

Saviour pt.4

A/N: I told you it wouldn't be bad for them.... So stop hating me I know you do

Leah leaned against the door, feeling the warmth radiate from it, a reminder of the woman she loved on the other side. She heard the soft sniffle, a sound that tugged at her heart, and without hesitation, she whispered, "I love you, Rory."

"You shouldn't," came Aurora's muffled reply, filled with uncertainty.

"Why not?" Leah pressed gently, wishing she could see her face and reassure her with a touch.

"Because you deserve more... you deserve better, not me," Aurora replied, her voice cracking under the weight of her emotions.

Leah's heart ached for her. "You're wrong, Rory," she insisted, her voice steady with conviction. "What I deserve is what I want, and what I want is you. You are my heart, my world. You're the best thing that's happened to me, apart from Mateo and our possible future kids. Nothing else matters to me but you."

She paused, taking a breath to gather her thoughts, wanting to convey just how deeply she felt. "I don't care if you feel broken or if you're going through things. We all have our struggles; life isn't easy for anyone. But you, Aurora? You are the light that pulls me from the darkness. You're the reason I wake up every day with hope in my heart. I know you've been through hell, but you're still standing. You are stronger than you realize."

Leah pressed her forehead against the cool wood of the door, wishing she could hold Aurora in that moment. "Every time you feel like you're falling apart, I want you to remember that I'm right here, always ready to catch you. You saved me too, you know? You may think you're not enough, but you are everything to me. You give me purpose. You make me a better person."

She took a deep breath, letting her emotions spill over. "Every moment we share, from the laughter to the tears, reminds me of how lucky I am to have you in my life. I can't imagine a future without you by my side, watching our little boy grow up and building our family together. You make my heart sing, Aurora, even on the days when you feel like you can't sing anymore."

Leah paused, her voice softening. "I see the way you care for Mateo, the way you light up when you hold him, and it makes me fall in love with you even more. You're a phenomenal mother, and you're doing the best you can. But you're not alone in this. We're in it together, and I will always stand by you, cheering you on and loving you through the tough times."

The silence stretched, but Leah could almost feel Aurora absorbing her words, a palpable connection lingering in the air between them. "You are my savior, Aurora. You pull me back from the brink every time I feel lost. And I want you to know that it's okay to be vulnerable with me. You don't have to hide your feelings or put on a brave face. I want to be the person you turn to when you're hurting."

With every word, Leah felt the weight of her love pressing against the door, a desperate longing to bridge the gap that separated them. "You're not broken; you're beautifully human. You've fought battles that would leave most people crumpled, but here you are, still standing. I want to help you heal, to remind you of the incredible woman you are, every single day. I want to help you believe that you are deserving of all the love in the world—my love, Mateo's love, the love we create together."

Leah's voice softened, filled with sincerity. "Please don't ever doubt how amazing you are. You may feel like you're not enough sometimes, but you are everything I could ever want and more. You are my love, my light, and I want to walk this path with you, hand in hand, through every joy and every challenge. I love you, Rory. And I always will."

There was a long pause, and Leah held her breath, waiting for Aurora's response, hoping to hear her heart echo back through the door, but all she heard was the soft sound of Aurora's breathing on the other side of the door. Just when doubt began to creep in, the door creaked open slightly, an invitation for her to step inside.
