I'm Still Listening [Robin+Maria]

Chapter 6

[Maria]

I sat peacefully on my bed. Every few minutes, I would touch my mouth gently, remembering the first time. The taste still remained there. It brought a smile to my face. It was true, I loved him. I wanted him. From now on, everything I do, I do for him. I breathe for him. I live for him. I would die without him. I don't know how I didn't see it before. It was so clear now.

I needed to see him again. It was painful, not being with him. It hurt. I hadn't noticed that I had already began walking. Walking to him. I saw his face in my mind. I saw the joy in his eyes, as he knew I wanted to see him, and only him. I know I'll stop hurting when I see him. When I hear his voice. He is my purpose. He is the reason I'm alive.

Before I knew it, I stood before the DeNoir's castle. I opened the door slowly and quietly and tiptoed inside. I was still smiling. I was counting down the seconds until I was reunited with him. With my love. My everything. Suddenly the sound of his voice surrounded me, and the words pierced my heart like a million daggers being driven into my chest all at once. "I shall marry Lady Naomi. Maria is nothing to me."

The tears that spilled down my face burned, my knees turned weak and I found myself falling to the ground. Everything went silent. "Maria?" he called. I was unable to reply. I struggled to breathe. I was paralysed on the ground. My visions was blurred, and I felt myself going dizzy. How could he do this to me?

My head dropped, and everything was now dark.
