Seth's POV
The car ride home is quite but the silence is a comfortable one. From Time to time, I glance at Becky, smile and squeeze her hand.

I don't know why I've been having this quesy feeling since I saw Chris. It might sound pathetic but I've kinda gotten attached to Becky, like she occupies a part in my heart specially made for just her.

I would never be able to survive without her and I'm guessing Chris now knows how much she means to me, meaning that he's coming after her. I'd rather die than have Becky taken from me, especially not by Chris.

" Dove?" I call Becky as I pull into the driveway. Thank God we came back now, because the weather is changing and it looks like it's going to rain heavily.

" Yes?" Becky replies, turning her attention to me. " I won't lie to you...I'm scared" I say, bowing my head in embarrassment, this is the first time I'm admitting to a female... apart from my mom that I'm scared.

" Of what?" She asks concerned.
" Of...of...of..." I stutter uncontrollably, unable to get the words out of my mouth.

But then Becky pats me on the back, looks me in the eye and says with all sincerity, "Take all the time,I'm right here ready to listen, but just know I'd never judge you."

That's all I need to hear.

" I've spent so much time with you, sleep by your side, wake up by your side, you're the last person I see at night and first person I see in the morning, I've gotten so used to being with you, sharing all the pain and joy with you... it's like you... you've become a part of me and I'm so fucking scared of screwing things up and loosing you or you leaving me." I admit, the fear evident in my voice, my eyes tearing up.

Becky is mute for a while, like she's taking it all in, trying to absorb everything I just said.

I knew I should have kept my big mouth shut, now I'm probably gonna scare her away.

" Seth remember what you told me after I freaked out when we thought Charlotte and Roman were in the hospital?" She asks.

" Yeah" is reply, instantly recalling all that went down that day. "When I told you I had no one you said that I have you..." She pauses.

" Till death do us part" we chorus.

" Exactly!" She exclaims. " No matter what happens I will be there for you and I'd stand by your side through thick and thin... and I can only pray that you feel the same way" she says.

We're still in the car and it's drizzling. Becky shivers slightly and I pull her from her sit and onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her for warmth.

" You don't know how much your words mean to me" I whisper into her ear as I suck on her earlobe.

" You still got balloons?" Becky asks outta nowhere. " Yes" I reply inquisitively. " Like how many?" She asks. " 4 to 6" I reply and she tells me to get them, which I do.

The balloons are just in the backseat not the boot so I don't have to go under the rain.

" Markers?" She asks and I bring out two. " I need you to know that I care deeply about you and will never leave you" She says as she takes a balloon from me.

She writes something on the ballon and when she's done she let's me see it.

What's written on the ballon is, " TILL DEATH D" she winks at me and before I can blink dashes out of the car and onto the rain.

How come she didn't complete what she was writing? I look from the marker and ballon in my hand to Becky who's playing under the light rain.

I get it now!
