Cold Coffee (A George Shelley/Union J Fanfic)

Baggage

Lacy's POV

As soon as Jasmine speaks up I decide it's time to leave, and stand up quickly to leave the circle. There are tears streaming down my face by now and I run for the door, heading straight outside and into the cold.

The bitter frost attacks my bare arms as I shiver as I quickly walk down the path, trying to best to disguise the fact I'm crying.

My heart literally feels like it's been shattered into pieces, and I struggle for breath as I carry on down the road.

I can't stop thinking about him

Then I hear it

His voice. At first I'm sure it's in my head, then he calls again. I turn and look down the path, struggling to see in the dark.

George.

Then he appears, running and holding something black in his hands.

"Lacy!" he pants, trying to catch his breath, "I am so sorry for everything, I messed this all up and I'll never forgive myself, but I'm hoping you will"

I seem frozen to the spot and just stand looking at him. I've stopped crying but I'm pretty sure that'll change soon,

He carries on talking, taking my hands in his slowly as if to check I'm ok with it, "Lacy I don't think I've ever felt this way about anyone, you're the most beautiful, funny, cute, adorable, utterly amazing girl I've ever met, I never want to lose you again"

Here comes the tears

My heart is beating faster now and I'm determined not to cry as I speak, "I love you so much George, but maybe this... maybe we..."

He shakes his head, "Stop, we're perfect for eachother. If there's any complications that come as baggage with this relationship, it's fine, because I'll be with you trying to get through it"

"George I can't go through this again... I can't afford to break again otherwise I don't know how I'll get through it..." I stare at him, waiting for his reaction,

"Stop" he says quietly, looking down, "Please don't do this Lacy, I love you so much and I can't lose you. I cant..."

When he looks up again I can see tears in his eyes as he brushes a hand through his hair, sighing, "I'm such an idiot and I promise you I'll never hurt you again. Ever"

"George stop..."

He cuts me off again, "Everytime I think of you with someone else it tears me apart. Just the thought of someone else holding you, kissing you, touching you..."

He clenches his fists with anger and stops himself, looking up at me desperately, "I will never hurt you again. And if you don't forgive me and we go our separate ways I'll know that deep down you still love me, because what we have is too strong... these feelings can't just go. You can't look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore"

I freeze, not sure on what to say. "I... I.... sometimes when you love someone you have to let them go"

He drops my hands and gently places one on my cheek, pulling me slowly towards him. I look him straight in the eyes, the sudden contact making my heart beat faster as sparks seem to go off in my skin,

"I love you" he whispers, "But I'm not letting you go", then he gently places his lips on mine.

So many thoughts are rushing through my head but I push them out, focusing on the way this feels right now.

I wrap my arms around his neck and he secures his around my waist, hugging my close. When we finally pull away I say the only thing I can think of,

"I love you too"
