I'm In Love Again

Is This How Our Story Ends?

*Chris's POV*

  It's been a week since Zain surfaced, and he's been here every morning. I've barely even gotten to spend time with Electra and Sidra anymore, because Sin and Zain always have them.

  Fuck, I only see them in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. Sin is still refusing to speak to me, but she will talk to everyone else. I'm starting to wonder if she still even wants to be with me, and honestly, that terrifies me.

  Sin and I have been through so much together, and I love her so much. I hate to think that after all of this, this is how our story ends. No. I won't let it.

  I got up from the porch and went inside, heading straight to Sin's, I mean our, bedroom, where she was with Zain and the girls. I opened the door, and they were sitting on the bed, Electra on Sin's lap, Sidra on Zain's. Sin had her head on Zain's shoulder.

  "Hey man." Zain greeted me, and Sin just looked away. "Zain, can I have a word with my wife, alone?" I asked. "Sure thing." He stood and walked out, handing me Sidra as he passed me. I bit my lip in anticipation, then spoke. "Are we over?"

  Sin stared at me with shock clearly written on her face. "Don't give me that look." I spat at her, "You won't speak to me, yet you'll talk to everyone else, and you're all over Zain."

  She made a face I didn't understand, and kissed the top of Electra's head. She looked back up at me, nodded to the door, and then shook her head. I groaned. "For fuck's sake Sin, I'm done!"

  Sin looked at me with confusion and fear, so I explained. "I've fought for you since day one, and now, I'm tired. I can't be expected to fight if there's no chance of winning. Is there?"

She just titled her head, another sign of confusion.

  I swore and answered. "Are we over?" I asked, and she stared at me for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders. At that moment, my heart completely shattered. She didn't care if we were still together.

  I fell to my knees and sobbed, holding Sidra tight against my chest. Suddenly there was a pair of arms around me: Sin's. "I want you..." she whispered in my ear, and I leaned so that I was laying against her.

  "Please don't ever leave me." I begged her, still sobbing. She held me tightly and promised she never would. We stayed like that for awhile till I finally regained control of myself.

  I wiped my tears from my cheeks, realizing my makeup, eyeliner specifically, had run all over my face. I growled at it, and Sin chuckled. "You look like a demented clown." she giggled at me.

  I rolled my eyes and stood, still holding Sidra. I set her down in one of the baby chairs we had in our room and went to the dresser, pulling open a drawer. I got out my makeup as Sin turned on a song.

Close your eyes

And leave all your fears behind

It's alright

Close your eyes

And follow me until the end

So if you're hopeless

We can pick up the pieces

And if you're broken

I can carry your pain

Are you with me?

Watching the flames rise high

Sing this with me

Hey

Break down the walls

I want it all

I won't stop

Until I burn this to the ground

Scream and shout

Till the lights go out

I won't stop

Until I burn this to the ground

You can't shake this

You can't break us

We won't stop until

The world is in our hands

  By now, I had fixed my makeup and Sin and I were snuggling on the bed, her having taken the babies to the nursery. There was a light knock on the door, and I groaned.

  Sin giggled, kissed me on the cheek, and said, "Come in!" The door opened to reveal Zain, and I tightened my grip on Sin.

  "Everything okay?" he asked, and I could tell there was genuine concern in his voice. "We're good." Sin chirped, then gave me a quick peck on the lips. Zain smiled. "Good. I was wondering, Chris, could I talk to you? Outside?"
