Water Love

Chapter 7 - Black heart

Ward’s POV

I don’t know how I can like this girl so much.

I talk to her every night, I see her at school every day, and yet, she doesn’t know me, she doesn’t know the monster I am. But I know her. I know how she likes to watch the stars, how she loves to read, and how she adores water. I feel like I’ve known her my entire life.

When she asks something about me I hang up the phone or change the subject. I know this is wrong, I know I can trust her but there’s some things in my life that makes me feel mad at myself, and I don’t want to hurt her.

“So” she said with her sweet voice as she entered my room “Can you explain me why we’re here?” she sat in my bed, her eyes were everywhere. She takes in every single picture in the wall, every single books in my shell and all the other stuff I have.

“I need to tell you what I did last year” I sat next to her. I could feel her becoming tense with my words but I had to tell her the truth why I moved here!

“Three months ago my dad came to pick me up from my soccer practice like he always did. But that day was my birthday so he decided to let me drive his car on our way back home” I stopped to meet her eyes, she was focused on my story so I continued “I didn’t see the other car and when I stopped it was too late”

I stood up and catch a picture of my father, me and my brother. I handed her and she examined it. Her eyes became watery.

“He died immediately” she met my eyes and I could see she was struggling not to cry “I’m sorry, I just had to tell you. I understand if you want to leave”.

“It’s not your fault” she said washing her one tear from her cheek “And I’m glad you told me” she hugged me and I hugged her back.

This felt nice, felt real. For the first time in weeks I felt loved again.

Ariel’s POV

His father is dead. I was kind of in shock when he told me, but then I saw how hurt and broken he was.

Ward said it was his fault, but that’s not true, he didn’t see the car, it happened. I feel this big black hole in his heart and I want to fix it, I want to be the one that will be there for him while his healing that deep and old wound.

“I believe that your father is in a better place right now” I said hugging him “And it wasn’t your fault”.

He let me go and I could see he was crying. I never saw a boy cry, not even my brother. It’s strange and a little bit uncomfortable. Ward has a face of an angel and he cries like one, it makes me sad looking at him like this.

“We should go” he said after a while.

“Yeah”

And we went straight to the pool and swam our hurts away.  

A/N: No time no see right... Sorry for the real late update but this chapter gave me a big headache. I wrote it like 6 times and I didn't like it. But here it is.
