Luke's P.O.V
After the guy says that I fall to the ground and start crying. I want to look out for Emelia, be her hero but there’s nothing I can possibly do anymore, I can’t save her from this awful fate and it makes me hate myself. I’ve noticed over this past week her drop a lot of weight, her ribs are starting to show and she’s getting frailer, constantly having to lie down and catch her breath even though we are hardly doing physical activity. I know she can’t last too much longer without food, I see her in pain constantly from extreme hunger. My health too is deteriorating, and I can’t help but continue to feel weaker. Either way in this situation I loose.
My crying slows as I feel a pair of arms wrap around my torso, Emelia. I pull her into my chest tightly, as if I’m holding onto her for dear life and cry into her shoulder. She strokes my hair, helping me to calm down. As my tears stop I hear Emelia speak out.
“Luke?”
I pull my face up from her shoulder and look into her eyes through my red puffy ones.
“Why are you so upset?” She continues in her soft quiet voice.
“I don’t know what to do, I see you’re struggling, I am literally watching you starve to death and there’s nothing I can do to help you, I can’t be your saviour and it makes the shittiest guy in the world” I sob.
“hey Luke you’re not shit at all, you’re the opposite, you’ve literally done so much to protect me but there is nothing we can do about this, it’s not your fault” she says and places a hand on my cheek.
“Oh and Luke, I’m ready” she continues.
I look at her shocked.
“bu—uu—ut” I stumble.
“Luke, we both knew that this was eventually going to have to happen..” she says, which I sigh to.
“I just wish it didn’t have to, you deserved better” I whisper.
“Honestly all I wanted was for it to mean something, and it will because I’ll be with you. I know we’ve only known each other for like a week but I’m falling for you Luke and even though this situation isn’t the best it will still be a special moment because I lost it to someone I love” she says while shyly looking at her lap and turning a crimson colour.
She likes….Wait loves me… holy shit. I am gobsmacked. I never thought in a billion years that my feelings for her would be mutual. The smile on face grows.
I lift her chin up with my fingers and stare into her eyes smiling. I then stare down at her lips and begin leaning in, her doing the same, both of us closing our eyes in the process. Next thing I know my lips come in contact with her soft tender ones.
