ANYTHING for us. ~Seth Clearwater Love story~

One More Chance

~Seth's POV~

It's been a long week, I thought. Emily giving birth, Kaya still ignoring me because I never got close to proposing to her, Koda wanting a little brother or sister, Leah nagging, and me trying to ignore every text and call I get.

I went to the cliff after patrol and sat there, watching the sunset. Leah came up from behind and sat down next to me,

Leah: Penny for your thoughts

Me: Do you know why I never proposed to Kaya?

Leah: Why?

Me: I was scared. I was scared she was going to run away. But I was ready. The night of the accident, I was going to propose to her, but you know, I got hit by a truck. I found the ring in the bag I had.

Leah: So you were close to proposing, and she never knew.

Me: Yeah,

Leah: well things happen for a reason.

Me: Now I don't know what to do. If I tell her I was close to proposing, she won't believe me. But she just keeps ignoring me! It's like I don't even know if I want to even marry her anymore. It's like she's making me have mixed signals again.

Leah: Instead of picking up where you left off, why don't you start from the beginning? Do it all over again. Figure out why you fell for her in the first place, minus the imprint part.

Me: You know what? That's a good idea. But how? She barely even talks to me.

Leah: Just talk to Kaya. Tell her what is on your mind. Maybe she'll understand.

We hear footsteps approaching,

Leah: I think that's my cue to go.

Leah gets up and runs off into the woods. Kaya sees me and freezes at the sight of me. She takes a deep breath, walks next to me, and sits down.

Kaya: Heard you wanted to talk.

Me: If you're willing to listen...

She nodded her head and looked at me,

Me: these past few months you've been ignoring me because I never got close to proposing to you. The way you ignored me, treated me, and talked to me made me have mixed feelings about you, Kaya. It's like I had second thoughts if I still loved you or if you still loved me because if you loved me, you wouldn't be doing this to,

Kaya: Seth I still love you. I'm sorry I made you think that and go through that. It's just, I don't know, I'm just....

Me: what Kaya?

Kaya: jealous... I was jealous that Kayla was this close to spending the rest of her life with you. Seth I'm sorry. A lot has happened in a year.

Me: Kaya, if you just give us one more chance, maybe one day, that will be us. Marriage, another kid, happily ever after.

Kaya took a deep breath and just sighed.

Kaya: Ok. I want to keep trying until we work out because I don't know what I'd do without you Seth.

Me: me too.

I kissed her forehead as her head sunk into my shoulder. One more chance.
