Riley's POV
"If I kill myself, everything will just be so much more better for all of you." I say, sniffing as I stand in front of Lucas.
"Riley, I didn't mean it like that." He takes a step closer to me while I take a step back. When I do that, his face turns even more heartbroken than before.
"No," I cry. "Just leave, please."
"I don't want to see you like this, princess." He pleaded.
I look him in the eye. "You, just like everybody else, don't want me here. Just say it, it'll make you feel better."
He furrows his brows, "I won't say that, Riley! It's not true!"
"I said it," I say.
"Do you feel better by saying that?" He asks.
I don't, I wanted to say. I wanted to run into his arms and let him hug me, save me from myself. But I just looked away, too scared of what to say.
"You don't, do you?"
I don't look at him but I hear his footsteps coming closer to me. He stops when his foot touches mine and he lifts my head. I look in the green eyes with my blood shot ones and I get surprised when I don't see pity in his eyes. Instead I saw the warmth in them.
"Please, Riley, I...I love you." His voice cracks as he shades a tear.
I broke him.
Lucas POV
"Please, Riley, I...I love you." My voice crack and a tear falls from my eye, it had been burning in the sock of my eye ever since I saw my princess cry.
"Lucas.." Her soft voice is like melodies to my ears.
"Please don't hurt yourself. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you! I don't want anything to happen to you. I'm sorry I snapped at you before, I was angry. Angry at you kissing that other guy." The image of that moment breaks through my mind.
"I didn't kiss him, Lucas." She says in a low, soft voice.
"What?" I furrow my brows.
"He kissed me. I pushed him away but I guess, you didn't see that." She looks down on our feets.
I break a smile. "So..you didn't.."
She shakes her head and I let out a happy laugh as I hug her tightly.
She yelps but keeps her arms around my neck. "Lucas, what is it with you?"
I stop spinning around and put her down slowly and gently as I smile down at her. "I'm sorry, I'm just...god I love you, princess."
"What–" before she could finish her sentence I grab her face and kiss her.
The kiss was gentle and beautiful, like a soft wind brushing your face on a spring day. A summer rain. Beautiful and warm. This is what matters the most; Riley in my arms. A soft kiss on those beautiful pink lips of hers. Her brown, long, soft hair. Big brown eyes. That's not what I fell in love with.
I fell in love with her.
The laugh she makes when she sees or hears something funny.
The smile she gives random people just so that they can have a good day.
The goofiness. Her little games she makes up out of nowhere.
I fell in love with a ray of sunshine. A princess. A beautiful dream. My beautiful dream.
