Rumples POV
I booked a room at Granny's as I couldn't face going back home. I didn't want her to go back either.
When I told her, she looked as distraught as I feel.
I gave her some space, but couldn't bare not to be with her so I slid in the shower next to her. I was expecting her to push me away but she didn't and gripped on to me so tight.
I held her in my arms for so long.
After a while the cold got unbearable and I coaxed her out.
She sat on the edge of the bed, twisting her hair and rubbing it with a towel.
I don't know what to say.
I sat down next to her.
Silence swirled around the room.
She turned to face me.
I can't look at her.
I'll start crying again and - I don't cry....
"I'm sorry,"
She shouldn't be sorry.
He should be, will be.
"Do you still want to get married?"
"..what?" I coughed.
Of course! Nothing that's happened has changed my opinion of her, if anything, it's made me never want to leave her side, ever.
"Belle, no, no!" I finally turned to face her.
"My darling Belle, I'd never leave you, especially as something like this has happened, why you'll be lucky to go to the toilet by yourself from now on..." I chuckled slightly, tucking her hair behind her ear.
She looked up.
A small smile appeared on her face, a little laugh escaping too.
"I love you," she leaned forward and leant her forehead on mine.
"I, love..." I couldn't finish my sentence without my voice cracking.
Slowly, Belle pulled backwards and took a deep breath.
"Come on, let's get dressed," she hopped up.
"Belle, you don't have to-"
"No, the longer we sit here the more we think about it, we have to move past this and...and move on," she held her head high.
She's being so good about all this. She doesn't have to.
I grab her hand and look up at her.
"Belle..."
"No," she squeezed my hand.
"I'll just get more upset staying here and watching you being upset, if we both get up and get on with our lives, our wedding, we can just forget about it, please, that all I want."
How is she being so brave.
I force a smile.
"Fine..."
"Thank you," she said, going about finding some new clothes.
I take a minute and just sit there, watching her.
After everything that's happened to her, she always springs back up again, better than ever. How does she do it....
***
Rumples goes down to ask Granny about some room service breakfast.
I had to force him to go.
He will be back very soon as I know he doesn't want to leave me.
Suddenly, I lurch forward.
Shoving my hand in front if my mouth I run to the toilets, making it just in time.
I throw up and pull my hair back from my face.
Lurching another couple of times and lean on the toilet bowl for support.
When I was pretty sure I was done, I stood up and flushed the toilet.
What was that all about...
