Chris' P.O.V

I felt the sudden need to pinch myself to make sure that I was awake and not just dreaming. Lila and I'd had a strange day. Firstly we had to battle demons, as well as help Lila battle her own inner demons. Then we'd had a conversation with our twenty five year old selves. Sure our lives weren't normal but this day was definitely unusual, even for magical beings like us.

I was telling her the truth when I said that I loved her. I always would because Lila was the best person I had in my life, and someone who I would treasure forever, even if there came a day where we would no longer be together. I've heard people say that you never forget your first love, they are right about that but Lila is not my first love and I will always remember her. I think she is the first girl that has actually showed me what it feels like to love selflessly. Sure I was selfish when I kissed Kristy, but other than that I would always put Lila before myself, hence why I had thrown myself in front of the fire for her when it became clear that she wasn't going to move. I couldn't stand the idea of her dying and so I had to throw myself in the fire for her, even if it meant that I would die. The idea of Lila not being in the world hurt me too much.

It had hurt not just Lila, but me as well, all those days ago when Lila saw me kissing Kristy, because I had felt her pain. I'd felt how her heart had slowly started to break and I'd felt how hollow she was becoming as my actions had set in and she became numb. I had been disgusted with myself and throughout the course of that afternoon I'd been imagining different scenarios of what I could do to make it up to her. Though when that day came and went it was pride and stubbornness that kept me from apologising, until finally I'd said the rotten words that had made Lila give into her demonic side.

Now that we were sitting on the lawn in the back yard and she'd told me that she would always love me, everything felt so much better.

"But Chris there will be tough times in the future so I'm telling you this now so that you can make a decision. If you want to avoid those I won't blame you if you choose to leave me" Lila said and I froze. Did she really just say that? After what we'd just been through and how she'd convinced me that we were meant to be together was she really going back on her word? It left me speechless.

I'm positive that I was staring at Lila with my mouth agape. How could she think for one second that I would throw away what we had just because times might get rough in the future? Every couple has their issues, and because we are magical it only makes sense that some of our struggles might be worse, but I would never give up on her. The whole idea made me feel that I wanted to be sick, trying to imagine a life without Lila as my love. I loved her for crying out loud! Why would I want to end things with her after just two months? Why would I give her up for someone else to have, when it wasn't what either of us wanted?

She was looking at me, staring right into my eyes as though she knew what I was feeling. As though she knew what I was thinking. I suppose she did though, after all we were bonded. Her teeth found her bottom lip and I felt the urge to pull her close to me and kiss her softly. Her eyes started to water though I didn't understand why.

"Chris?" she whispered and I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts.

"Lila do you really believe that I would let you go after everything we've been through, just because there might be some hard times ahead for us?" I asked eyes wide. She started picking her nails and I knew that she had in fact thought that. "-Gosh Lila I love you! I can understand that my actions over the past week say otherwise and I swear if I wasn't such a wimp I would cast a spell that would make everyone forget this, but don't you dare, for one second, think I would just drop you like that. Every couple goes through tough times but our love for one another is so strong that I'm sure we can survive anything now. Lila, you are the most important person in my life and I will continue trying to protect you from everything, even if there comes a day when we are no longer together and you don't want me anymore" I gasped horrified that she would think so low of me. She made a sound in her throat.
