You're mine

Chapter 65: Stronger together

Leah's POV

Slowly, very slowly I walked to T's car. Every step I took closer made me cry that little more. Heather was right, this relationship was fun but not realistic.

I can't believe T and me are going to end like this, I love her so much, but it's best for her if I let her go.

I slowly walked to our spot, there I saw T's car, parked. I cried again, knowing what was going to happen.

When I walked closer to the car, the door opened. "Baby, finally! I was worried!" T said while I got in. Then she saw the tears I had. She quickly caressed my face and wiped them away. "What happened? Who hurt you?" she asked, a hint of anger in her voice. She was so protective.

I looked down and started crying more.

T quickly pulled me in her arms, holding me close. She kissed my head repetitively and shushed me. "I'm here for you baby, tell me what's wrong and I'll fix it."

I looked at her. "We can't..."

"We can't what?" she asked, looking worried.

I sniffled. "W-we have to b-break up." I said and burst out in tears, looking down.

T was paralyzed for awhile before caressing my face and making me look at her. "Hey, we don't have to break up. We're going to get married and have a happy life together."

I cried more and shook my head no. "No, we have to."

"S-stop saying that." T said, you could really hear the fear in her voice. "I d-don't want to b-break up with you. I don't w-want to lose y-you." she said, she also started to cry. "Please, I c-can change."

I shook my head no. "It's b-better that w-way."

T caressed my face and made me look her in the eyes, her eyes full of tears. "For who is this better?"

"Y-you."

"Me?! I don't want to lose you! You're all I need in life to be happy." she said, crying. "Please, don't do this."

"We have to." I said, turning away from her. "It's what's best." I said soft. I heard T cry next to me and it broke my heart, but Heather was right. I don't want to ruin T's life anymore.

I felt T wrap her arms around me, pulling me closer. "P-please don't d-do this to m-me. I can't live w-without you."

I hugged her back. "You'll find someone better."

That's when T made me look at her, in her eyes. "Who told you that?" she asked, she seemed very angry all of the sudden.

I gulped and sniffled.

"Who told you this?!"

I looked down. "H-Heather."

"That's it! She went way to far!" T said, raising her voice, getting out of the car.

My eyes widened, I quickly went out of the car, hurrying after T.

T walked to Heather's classroom and unfortunately Heather was still in there, cleaning her classroom. T walked up to her and pushed her against the blackboard. "You bitch! How dare you come between me and Leah?! This is our relationship, not yours!"

I pulled at T. "Please don't fight."

Heather tried pushing T of as well. "Listen to your ex-fiancee."

How I wished she hadn't said that... That's when T slapped Heather's cheek really hard. You really heard the noise of T's hand connecting to Heather's cheek.

After that we all were quiet, we all were shocked that it came to this.

I pulled T away from Heather, hugging her. T hugged me back, holding me very close. She kissed my head and than looked at Heather, who by now really had T's handprint in her cheek.

"I'm going to marry Leah, and you're no longer allowed in our lives. I'm serious this time." she said in a very calm tone. "After this weekend Leah won't be in your class anymore." she said to which I gasped.

"What?"

T looked at me. "I knew you were having a lot of troubles with stress, school and this whole situation in general. So I talked to your parents and arranged for you to be homeschooled."

I blinked, what was happening? "W-what?"

T smiled and held me close. "You'll be way more relaxed and you don't need to be in school anymore. It'll only be me, Mary and Charlotte as your teachers."

I looked at T and smiled. "Wow. I don't know what to say..."

"Maybe: thank you, baby, for being so amazing." she said, smiling.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her, finally kissing her deeply. Yes, we kissed in front of Heather, but nor T nor me could care less.

We both pulled back at the same time and looked at Heather, who looked so angry. T held me close and I held her close. I can't believe I let Heather take over my thoughts, I almost lost my amazing baby because of her.

"So no matter what you do, you won't get in between us. I'm marrying Leah very soon and you're not invited." she said and took my hand, intertwining our fingers. Then we went to her car together and drove to our home.

___________________________________

This whole day has been a roller coaster of emotions: I was happy, I thought I helped Heather, I was heartbroken, I cried, almost broke up with T, then heard I was going to be homeschooled... And now here I was: laying in T's arms, onto her naked chest, our legs tangled. We were just relaxing, nothing was said but nothing needed to be said. We were perfect like this.

It's at these moments that I think about our wedding. I wonder how it'll go. I know the big lines but not everything. But I know T will guide me through it. Or my mom, she can't wait to go buy a dress together. Even though I never wear dresses, I figured for a wedding I should make an exception.

T sighed deep.

I looked at her and saw her eyes were closed. I sat up a little. "Baby?" I asked soft. She didn't respond. "Baby, are you asleep?"

She didn't respond, she moved a little but didn't open her eyes.

I smiled, my baby fell asleep. I turned around and turned off the lights. It was dark so I quickly snuggled closer to T. She pulled me closer, out of habit, and rested her head onto mine.

I smiled and nuzzled deep into her chest. "Goodnight, baby." I said soft and kissed her cheek soft. Then I closed my eyes, feeling very safe in her arms.
