Cursed

Chapter 15 - Moment

Chapter 15 - Moment

Alison's POV

The door slowly opened, revealing a small white room. A double bed was placed in the center; a small closet and bathroom on one side of it, on the other side was a small table and the entrance door. In front of the bed was a tv and a fridge.

My heart froze as I saw the single bed in middle of the room. We didn't move from our position, we just stared at the setting of the room. Another few awkward moments of silence flew by before Brian took a step into the room, dropping his bags down in the corne. Not wanting to make the situation even more awkward, I did the same, moving cautiously around the room. The door was shut and the both of us had abdolutley nothing to say to each other. Picking up the small duffelbag from the spot I had kept it a second ago I walked slowly towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to go take a shower" I announced awkwardly, quickly locking myself into the bathroom. Releasing a huge breath, I placed the bag on the floor and stripped naked, positioning myself under the hot water, letting it wash my fears, worrries and every other sentiment away until all I felt was nothing. I spent the next fifteen minutes in the shower, just thinking what could have possibly happened as soon as I stepped out the doors of the bathroom. I knew I wanted something with Brian, and he possibly did too. But would it work? Was I crazy for even considering such a thing? My mixed up emotions were driving me crazy and my skin was starting to shrivel by the amount of time I was spending, trying to avoid facing something I didn't know the outcome of. Deciding not to be a coward, I turned off the shower, drying myself off and putting on a pair of soft, decent pyjamas.

Soon, I re-opened the door of the bedroom, finding Brian sitting on the other side of the bed, his back facing me, the single lamp illuminating every muscle of his rippled back. I walked quietly towards my side of the bed, dropping the bag on the floor. He didn't move. I saw his back tense and I immediatley knew something was wrong.

"Hey, are you okay?" I questioned, my voice barely making it out. His head whipped in my direction, but his eyes didn't meet mine. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, taking a deep breath before getting off the bed and walking towards the window. I still hadn't recieved an answer from him, something was defenitley wrong. I walked around the bed, stopping a few feet away from him. "Brian, what's wrong? Are you thirsty? Do you need blood? Or is it anything else-"

"Why do you care?!" He snapped, making me flinch slightly. Pain fluttered inside me as I watched him turn around. His face mirrored my expression, making me confused. "Why do you care so much Alison? I'm a monster. Why do you care?" He whispered, but the surrounding silence made me hear him crystal clear. My eyes crunched together and I let out a small chuckle.

"You're not a monster, that's why I care. Everyone makes mistakes in their life Brian, we don't spend the rest of our lives paying for it though do we? But you are! And I don't think you deserve it" I responded calmly.

"How can you care about this more than your own life? I'm damaged as it is. Why do you still want to help me knowing it could cost you your life?"

"Well, I mean if I do die now at least I'll go to heaven" I joked, trying to lighten the mood, but it had the absolute opposite effect. In a matter of seconds, Brian was right in front of me, towering my petite figure.

"This is not funny Alison. You're trying to save my soul, and I want to save yours before Grettan does soemthing to it. I'm already damaged, I've lived with it long enough. But you... your soul is... perfect, clean, amazing. You are the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on Alison, and I will most certainly not let that evil witch take that away from you. I refuse to let her do any harm to you. Tomorrow when we get back, we're done Alison, you are going to go back home and never come back" He replied. My heart melted at his words and all I wanted to do was connect my lips to his. But I wasn't backing out that easily. His tone was intended to be intimidating, but not to me. I had made the choice, and even if I died, I wouldn't have regretted it.

"No" I stated simply, looking straight through his melting brown orbes "I made this choice. You are not damaged, just misunderstood, and I made the choice to fix that. So I am going to fix that, because if I didn't, that would be me damaging my own soul. Grettan might destroy my soul, but at least I would have tried to save it. If I would have walked away, I would destroy my own soul without even trying to save it. So no, I will not walk away until this is not over" His eyes looked right into mine, our faces centimetres apart, his breath was fanning my face and mine his. And in that moment, none of us went against what we really wanted to do for a very long time. Brian's muscular arms grabbed my waist and my arms automatically found themselvs wrapping around his neck, our lips finally connecting for the first time. His mouth moved against mine with desperation and hunger, a feeling of need pouring out of both of us. He pulled me even closer to him, if that was even possible, his mouth never leaving mine. Slowly, we parted, gasping for air as our heads still leaned on each other's our sockets looking at one another's.

"You are the most amazing person I have ever met Alison Stones, I promise you, that I will never let anything happen to you. I will protect you like you have done to me" he said, with so much emotion it made me want to cry. My only response to him was pulling his mouth back on mine this time a kiss full of passion and love. His hands grabbed my legs, picking me up without any effort as he carried me towards the bed, placing me down on it gently.

"I'm so glad Lana purposely put us together in this room" he commented, making the both of us laugh.

And that was true, I would always be greatful to Lana for this.
