"I..." I try to speak but my voice is husky after all my screaming. "I know." He says sadly, tugging me closer to him. "I know you still love him." He whispers. I shut my eyes, I love Connor he always knew me, through everything. The masks, the failures, the Every Thing! Warrick loves me past present future.... no question. But you can never really forget your first love.
Connor must have been caght under the half-siren's voice after or on the day after our kiss. And since she was wounded before I got to her, that's probably how he could talk to me again. He witnessed all the horrors he has done to me, and could do nothing to stop it. His heart broke over and over again. Another tear slips from my eyes. A tear for the boy I will never stop loving... through death and the deepest oceans.
And I will love Warrick, I'll try my best to love him just as much. I will stay with Warrick becuase he has become a home to me too.
"Maria." Her voice soft yet it sends a jolt through my body. She back. I stand, and stop Warrick from doing the same. "I'll be back." I say, over my soulder. I walk to her voice. I don't asks questions as I get closer to her. My legs shake, my chin quavers. My body crushes into hers... and she welcomes me pulling me tightly into her embrace. "Please don't ever leave me again, Mama." I quietly beg into her shoulder. She lets go of a shaky breathe. "Never. I will never do that to agian." She vows, as she brushes my wet hair.
I'm broken, and she has returned to put me back together. My Mama.
