CHAPTER FOURTEEN {FLEUR}

"I'm moving." he said, his words coming out choppily, like a scratched cd. I had nothing to say, well, I couldn't find the words. everything jumbled up in my head and my mouth dried up.

I wanted to scream, cry, and die all at the same time.

I punched the water. my knees were weak and everything was blurred out by my tears. I collapsed unexpectedly. I went under the water, taking in deep breaths, only it was water filling my lungs, not air.

my eyes shot open and that's when I saw fuzzy light. there was a figure standing there. I really thought it was an angel, it was Steven. I shut my eyes once more. when they opened, Stevens lips were on mine and he was holding my hips, as if he thought id leave him there.

"I love you too." I breathed into his ear. "so fucking much." I jumped, my legs were wrapped around his waist. I continued to kiss him, then pulled away, planting light small kisses on his neck. this whole thing seemed hungry and desperate, and it was. I wanted him, I needed him more than I thought.

"I- I'll go with you..please please let me go with you," I begged.

he shook his head the said "babe I have to let you go. you don't need someone like me to hold you back. I'm your anchor, I'll always hold you back."

"babe I want to stay where I am..I want you." I said, crying.

"I'm sorry, fleur." he breathed, leaving me standing there. I felt myself go under water. I stayed there for a while before going up, gasping for air.

this couldn't be happening... I thought. but it just did.

Steven sped away, leaving me in the dark, literally.

"b-but I love you..you love me." I whispered, my voice cracking. I felt the water flow between my fingers as I cried softly.
