Three's a Crowd

I've got feels.

John's POV

I've been laying in bed for the past hour trying to sleep. I've dozed off a couple of times but never for more than 30 minutes.

Maybe some milk, will help. Not like it ever has before but whatever.

I creep up out of my bed tripping over the air an impossible number of times.

Im certain Marina has heard me by now. I go invisible and fly down the hallway and slide through her semi-open door. I expect to find her asleep or just waking up but instead, she's staring out her window, looking at the stars. I fly closer trying to quiet my breathing as I hover next to her.
I've been looking out the window for about 30 seconds when--

"Beautiful isn't it?" Marina says to no one.

I drop down and slowly turn invisible.

"How'd you know I was here?" I ask.

"I can smell you," she replies, a smile tugging at her lips.

"How the hell am I supposed to take that?" I say getting a little offended.

"Relax John,"she grabs my hand, "its not a bad smell."

"Oh," I say, cooling down a bit.

I don't realize how long we're sitting in silence until I wake from my thoughts and realize that I've been staring at Marina.

And she knows.

"I miss you."

The words tense in the air, dripping like rain droplets on a foggy window.

For a minute, I'm not sure which of us spoke, until I feel my lips close from the formed words.

"John," Marina says without looking at me, "you made your choice,  and I had to be ok with it even if it tore me up inside. I can't let myself get hurt again. I won't."

Before I let my head in on what my heart wants to say, the words are already out of my mouth.

"But what if I chose wrong?" I barely whisper.

"Then that's on you," Marina says mournfully, starting for the door.

Just before she closes the door, I force my mouth to make sentence.

"I'm going to get you back Rina."

She stops.

She starts to turn around.

She stops.

She faces forward.

And closes the door.
