The Legend's Destiny

Tears

"I'm sorry I yelled at you..." Caelum says after a while. We are still wrapped up in each other's arms. I feel safe. I feel secure. Even though Caelum, himself, isn't that safe or secure.

"It's okay. I know the pain you have. I get that every moment of my entire life." We stop talking again. Words aren't necessary. We don't need them to share our feelings and thoughts because we are feeling the same things. We are polar oppsites, yes, but I am the same as him in this case.

"I miss him..." He states. I don't know how long we have been hugging, but it has been a while. "I miss my dad. I miss his smile and his laugh. I miss his jokes and his voice. He was my dad and I loved him. Actually no. I STILL love him." I just let Caelum rant on and on, silently agreeing to everything he says. At last we release each other and wipe our tears.

"Thank you..." I whisper to him, thinking he couldn't hear me.

"For what?" He responds in his normal voice. It startles me, and I shiver a bit.

"For holding me. For talking to me. For understanding me. Anyone else would have left. Anyone else would have rolled their eyes and laughed." He pauses, thinking about a response.

"I'm not just anyone. I'm Caelum. I'm your opposite. I'm your roommate. Most of all, I'm your friend." I don't say anything back because anything I would've said would just be nothing compared to what he said.

"Hello?" I answer my phone with my eyes still closed.

"Scarlet?" No. It can't be. How does he have my number? "Spen...Spencer?"

"Oh, finally. I've been trying to find you for the last hour. I have to tell you something and if I don't tell you now, I'll never tell you." I feel like telling him to wait until school, but something in his voice kept me from doing it. It's like he was pleading me, begging really. "I love you, Scarlet. I still love you and I want you back. Please...will you be my girlfriend again?" I think back to why I broke up with him in the first place. It was to protect him. To save him from a monster. Save him from me. It's different now. Caelum and I are going to start training so I will be able to control myself. I don't have to protect him anymore. He's safe now.

"Yes. I will be your girlfriend again."

"Thank you, Scarlet. I won't let you down this time." Before I could respond, he clicked off.

I am once again in the place where I have a boyfriend who can protect me. My dilemma is, I need protection from myself. A kind of protection that only Caelum can supply. Training starts tomorrow. I have to control myself.

I must and I will.

Hey guys, it's me with a chapterrrr. Yay :) so I was going to make them start training in THIS chapter but...yunno...I didn't...Will Scarlet be able to control herself? What do you think about her and Spencer now? Spencer and Scarlet or Caelum and Scarlet? Answer these in the comments or in your head and you can ponder that for a while.
