~ Kellins POV ~

As soon as she ran away from me, I knew it was over. Every promise she ever made, was a lie, she basically confessed to that. I stayed there, in shock, as my world ran from me. Once I came to the conclusion that I was no longer wanted, I made my way to the bridge. I didnt ran. I walked. Slowly. Almost stumbled. I was in a daze. I hold no recollection of my journey, it was a painful blur.

But here I am, standing at the bridge, watching the sunrise. I dont look like any normal person on the bridge though. I mean, normal people are standing BEHIND the rail. I stare down at the ferocious, thrashing, murky waves of the river below me. I wonder if the freezing water will kill me, or if I'll die on impact. I stare at the sunrise, my hands only just holding the rail. I cant live without her, I really cant. She is my world. Or, was. I hear a plane take off, and turn to my left, I stare up at the sky. My eyes fill with tears again, there she goes, flying away. Forever. She's gone. And so am I, because she took the best part of me with her.
"Goodbye." I whisper hoarsely, about to let go of the rail, when arms wrap around me from behind. I look down and see two little hands clasping each other in front of my stomach. I recognize those hands! No, it cant be!?!
"Please, Kellin, dont do this! Please!" She begs.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldnt. No, actually, give me 3." I decide bluntly. She wont be able to come up with that many, I know it, because I cant either.
She is thoughtful for a moment "1) Because if you jump now, I am not letting go of you, so I will die with you. 2) I didnt mean any of what I said earlier, I only said that to make you hate me, so that you would push me away, because I couldnt bare to do it myself, I wanted you to leave me behind, because I thought that you were better off without me, but now I know the truth. And 3) because I love you."
My heart skips a beat. I feel warm inside, for the first time since my arms were last wrapped around her. I turn around and cling to the rail, staring down at her. I see nothing but honesty in those gorgeous blue eyes. Her arms are still holding me, she's still scared I'll jump.
"P-Please Kellin, dont jump, please! I-I need you! Dont leave me!" She's trying so hard to stay strong for me, she doesnt want me to see her break.
I cup her cheek as a small smile plays on my lips "Say it again."
"Say what again?" She whispers.
"Point three, Heather, say it again, please, let me see that you mean it." I request, trying not to reveal how deeply I ache to hear those words again, to see them leave her lips.
"I love you Kellin." She speaks clearly, without a pause, without a stutter. It was pure. It was honest. It was perfect.
"I love you too Heather." I respond, my thumb caressing her cheek gently.
"A-Are you going to jump? P-Please dont!" She is still so scared. She's terrified of losing me.
"Are you really so scared of losing me?" I ask playfully.
Heather nods frantically "Yes! Of course! I-I cant lose you Kellin, n-not again! I swear, I didnt mean any of what I said to you in the airport, I know Im not just here to make you feel young again, I know that we are perfect, I know that every promise I made you has been kept, please, dont go!" A single tear slips down her face.
"Every promise?" I raise an eyebrow.
She nods, and releases me with one hand to pull her shirt down and pull a chain out. My jaw drops. She still wears the necklace I gave her on her 14th birthday, the little TARDIS charm! "I promised you I would never take it off, and I still wear it everyday." She rolls her jacket sleeves up "I promised you I would never cut my wrists again, and I havent. I still self harm though, that was inescapable."
My eyebrows furrow "How long have you been clean?"
She blushes "Since just after we got back in contact..."
I kiss her nose, desperate to kiss her lips, but holding back. "I am so, so proud of you Heather. I will help you through this, I promise you, we can get through this, together. As for your promises, you have no idea how happy I am that you kept them. Im not going to jump, because my reason to live wants and loves me, I cant possibly leave behind the most precious girl in the universe."
Heather giggles "Can you, uh, come back over onto this side of the bridge, please, so I can stop worrying?"
I laugh slightly "Of course doll." I climb back over onto her side of the bridge, and hold her hands, now is my chance. Its the perfect moment. The sun is rising, nobody else is around. "Heather, I know we only recently started talking again, but I really have fallen head over heels for you all over again, not that my feelings for you ever really left. I love you more than words can describe, and I will do absolutely anything and everything to hold you, to kiss you, to keep you safe and to call you mine. Will you please be my girlfriend?"
"I'd be honored Kellin, yes!" My angel smiles widely and wraps her arms around my neck, I wrap mine around her waist and lift her up, her legs wrap around my waist. "SLOTH HUG!!!" My baby squeals adorably.
"Finally, I can call you mine." I sigh with relief as I place her back down on the ground.
My gorgeous girl giggles "Damn right you can! Y'know what this means now though, dont you?"
I raise an eyebrow "What?"
"You no longer have to ask me for kisses or cuddles, you just get them!" My everything grins up at me.
I smirk and shake my head "No! Im a gentleman! I still need permission to kiss a lady, even if she is mine." I wink at her as I pull her closer. "So, as Im now officially yours, anything in particular you want to do together today?"
My world pretends to be in deep thought, before she smiles widely "I think kissing my boyfriend all day sounds like a plan!"
I bite my lip "Your boyfriend would enjoy that more than you can possibly imagine."
My babygirl wiggles her eyebrows as her the space between our lips starts to shrink "Would he now?"
I nod and whisper huskily "He really would." On my last words, our lips brush against each others, and I was going to continue talking, but as soon as I felt her lips against mine...to say I lost control would be the understatement of the century. I hold her as close as humanly possible, and kiss her the way I would when we were kids, the way that drove her crazy. Heathers fingers tangle in my hair and she pulls on it lightly. Fuck, that feels so good. I think to myself as I deepen the kiss, bending my body against hers. I pull away from her slightly to peck her lips repeatedly. "I need you. I want you." I whisper in a low voice.
My sexy girlfriend bites her lip, she looks so hot when she does that, fuck. "And guess what? You've got me! Back to kissing now please yes thanks!"
I laugh slightly and shake my head, before pulling her back in for another loving kiss. I feel complete. I feel like I can smile all the time now. Im not worried about her being another mans now.

I can finally brag about her to all my friends, tell everyone how lucky I am to call her mine, post cute pictures of us online with adorable captions that will make fangirls and fanboys cry due to feels.

Everything is finally going right. :)
