Not All Heroes Sing (Tony Perry Love Story)

*Chapter 34*

[Tony's POV]

"TONY, NO!!!!!" i hear a scream as I reach to get the top off.

Before i can even turn my head, something slammed into my chest and next thing i knew, I was pinned to the ground, Avie's thin arms hugging me as she cried into my shoulder.

"Tony, please don't do it!! I'm sorry!!! I'M SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY!!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!!! I'm sorry, Tony, please!!!!!!" she cried loudly and almost quickly as she clung to me.

"What?? What are you talking about, Avie? What's gotten into you??" i asked as i held her.

"Y-You were about to kill yourself," she sobbed, tears overflowing down her cheeks. "I saw you."

"No, I wanted to kill my headache," i said, and she froze, looking up at me. "I accidentally missed breakfast."

"Y-You weren't going to overdose because of me??" she asked.

"Why would i do that?? Avie, i would never leave you," i said, holding her and stroking her hair.

She was still sobbing and choking a bit on tears so i just held her in my arms until she calmed down.

"I guess that makes us even, huh??" i asked, knowing we just thought the same thing on each other.

She gulped back some remaining tears and shrugged. "I-I guess."

I held her in my arms tightly, cradling her shaking body in my arms as i sat up. "I'm so sorry, Avie. I should have never jumped to conclusions that day."

"N-No. You had every right. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm so so so sorry, Tony," she cried.

I look down, kissing her forehead. "Its okay, Avie. Its okay."

She looked up at me, her beautiful eyes still filling with dripping tears. I gently wiped them away and gave her a small smile.

She managed a small smile too.

"T-Tony??" she said shyly, some blush crossing across her cheeks.

"Yeah??" I asked.

She slowly leaned up and next thing i know, she gently pressed her lips against mine, softly kissing me.

I reacted quick and kissed her back, my arms still coiled around her as i pull her closer.

Our lips move in sync as we kiss and then we pull back, her cheeks an even brighter shade of red.

"I-I'm sorry," she said, meekly and scared.

I smile and lean in, kissing her again softly and gently. She was surprised a bit for my reaction.

"I've been wanted to do that, ever since I met you," i said.

"W-Why? I mean, I'm nothing special," she said.

"Of course you are. You're the most amazing girl i have ever met, Avery. And i've been wanted to admit this to you for a long time, and.... I'm in love with you," i admitted.

She looked so surprised when i said that. "R-Really??"

I smile and nodded, and then she bought up the corners of her lips, smiling back.

"I... I love you, too, Tony."

"Come here," i said, opening my arms for her.

She climbed into my arms and hugged me tightly with her fragile arms and i coil my arms around her thin frame.

I swear, hugging this girl was like holding on to a tired and sick fairy.

"Avie, would you like to be my girlfriend??" i asked.

She smiled and nodded. "Of course."

We leaned in for another kiss as we hear footsteps walk in.

"Oh, umm, I'll come back later," i hear Jaime's awkward voice say before he exited the room.

We laugh in the kiss and then just sat there and hugged each other.
