Darkness Has A New Name

Chapter 18

~Jocelynn~

What was I doing? Kissing Pan? The person who just threatened to kill my family. I was furious at him but I couldn't help myself. It was like something was telling me to kiss him, something was telling me to forgive him.

Something was telling me to love him.

***

When we broke from the kiss I stepped back in shock. I still couldn't believe I just kissed him after what he had done.

I was scared, I didn't know what to do. I was falling in love with someone who could end up being a monster inside. I did what my instincts told me to do, run away crying.

I stared straight into his eyes. He seemed happy/flattered. All I could think to do was run.

I turned around and took off down the hall crying my eyes out. I went into a room and slammed the door. I thought that Peter would come for me, but he didn't all he did was stand there.

~Peter ~

When we broke from the kiss I smiled satisfied. She didn't seem happy though. She looked terrified. I was about to ask her what's wrong but she turned around and ran away crying. She went about 4 rooms down then went inside a room slamming the door behind her.

I stood there shocked. I thought she had liked the kiss. The kiss wasn't for anything but love. Did she not love me? I thought. I walked down to the room that she was in and knocked on the door.

"Are you okay?" I asked, for once I cared about someone else besides me.

She yelled through the door.

"Go away Peter!"

"No, not until you tell me what's wrong?" I said.

"Nothing! Just go away!"

I opened the door, I had to know what was wrong. Once I opened it the room was dark except for a lamp beside the bed. It showed her face just enough that I could see the tears on her face.

"I said go away!" She yelled still crying.

I ignored her and ran over to her. I sat down on the bed and pulled her into a hug forcing her to put her head on my chest. She struggled for about 5 minutes but I wasn't letting her go. I loved her. I wasn't going to let go not until I knew that she was safe.

She finally stopped struggling and relaxed on my chest. We sat there for about an hour quiet you could only here her crying. It was probably around midnight when she started falling asleep on me so I laid her down on the bed but before I left I heard her say,

"Peter, could you please sleep with me tonight. It's been a long night for me, could you please?"

I looked at her and started walking over to the bed I was already in my pajamas so I just laid down in the bed next to her. She came up beside me and laid her head on my chest and putting her arms around me. I put my arms around her and then she said,

"I'm sorry Peter.."

"Its fine." I said drifting off to sleep, but before I was asleep I heard her say,

"I love you Peter.."
