THERD PERSON

The day had gone by, Lia and Jerom hadn't spoken, she was still weak so he left her in her room with her mother that seemed to just watch the events unfold.

Lia was in her room, talking and laughing with her mother. God how she missed her, being with her this long felt like a dream, her eyes watered just thinking about it .knowing she was on the edge of breaking down and giving up just less than forty-eight hours ago, and now she was with her, like old times.

She caught her up with everything that had happened while she was gone.

"But Jerome, it a very complicated story" she mused " One minute I feel this nothingness ,and the next he's like a magnet pulling me in. "

"You know when you're younger ,some days you'd wake up and tell me these stories " she chuckled " You told them like you'd lived through them before .Your father and I just thought you had a really active imagination . When we asked you about where you got it all from you always said 'Mommy I've seen it all before' "

"When I grow older I thought they where all just vivid dreams, but they where fleeting memories " a tear rolled down her eyes without realizing it.

"I remember this one story you told over and over again, about a queen that saved a man, and they feel in love " she giggled " you always said 'he had dark hair that almost resembled night and blue eyes that looked like the water in the ocean, they'd draw you in like the rising tide' . I thought it was pure talent for a nine year old "

This got her thinking, he's blue eyes so deep you could drown. That smile ,oh that smile. Her feelings where consuming her she barely new him or so she wanted to believe. He'd always been there, around her, even when he had nothing to lose he still helped. He'd always came out as arrogant, sarcastic, heartless and sometimes even a pure ass shit, but he wasn't.

She  knew things she didn't expect to know about him. He liked the color baby blue, even though he always wore black, he preferred rainy days to sunny days, even though she still made him his light ring he still hated the sun. He preferred his blood from the bag, he felt disgusted biting people, he'd always said 'people carry around so much filth '. She smiled to herself with realizing.

"I still don't know how to feel, what if I don't want any of this? " she questioned. "What if it's not meant to be like this " she hadn't realized that he was by the door. Those words tore a hole in his being, he'd come all the way here for her and she wasn't willing to even give him a chance ,he walked away from the room and took off.

"Sweetie, it's all your choice, you're not being forced into anything. But what do you want "she said.

"I'll be right back mom, "she said getting herself out of bed, she hasn't tried to move, as soon as she got up her legs gave out, she fell right back down. She got up one more time supporting herself using the bed post, moving herself through the room to the door.

She got herself to his room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer, she pushed the door open and the was empty .

"I saw him super speed out of the house, gosh I wish I could do that " Isis said from behind her "He looked pretty upset "

"Where could he go, he doesn't know anyone around here." she thought through the places they had visited together, he seemed to like one place in particular. The black diamond cave."I'll be back soon " she said opening a portal . It was something she didn't quite easily but know that she was weak it felt like she was hit on the head with a rock. She walked through and found herself behind the falls.

His hair was dripping wet as well as the rest of him, he was laying on the ground, she moved her self to where he was till her legs gave out one more time, he quickly rushed catching her before she could hit the ground.

"What are you doing here ?" he asked her holding on to her.

"I came looking for you"

"If you don't want me around, I'll leave you "

"what makes you think i_" she stopped in realization "Where you listening to my conversation with my mother ? " she asked

"I was coming to check on you "

"Then you should have reached, and talked to me Jerome ,you don't just run off"

"I was going to come back, I just needed some air" he said placing her on the ground, they both sat looking at each other.

"You need to be careful, your kind fetches for a lot around here "she joked.

"I'm a horrible person Lia ,when you came to town and I first saw you, I knew and God did I want you to remember, but you where happy without me, with Walt. You where so happy I wondered if maybe he was better for you than I ever was" he said "Seeing you happy with a good person made me realize maybe I wasn't good enough, I've killed many people, I'm an Asshole and I know it. And God knows I won't change not for you "

"If you're as bad as you say why do you care so much Ha?!" she scolded "You made me a promise you'd make me love you again,but by the looks of it you haven't tried ,all you do is make excuses "

"I know you better than you know yourself. You find it peaceful to sit in the dark with absolutely no light, it helps you think, your favorite flowers is the iris ,you hate cockroaches, I once saw you almost demolition our house using magic just because you saw one" he chuckled.

"If your as bad as you say, then what's the worst you can do. I've already had my fair share of hurt these nothing more you can do to hurt me " she said.

"Does that mean you _"

"Don't rush it, you still have to keep your last promise, I'm a different person now "she winked at him. He move closer to her placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't worry about it." he smiled. "We need to get back now"

"I can't help with that ,I'm out of juice well have to get back your way " she said forcing her self to her feet, she walked to the cave opening and turned to look at him.

"Catch me " she said and she fell back wards. He ran and jumped after her.
