Till Death Do Us Apart- 4 ✔️

Chapter Eleven One Final Time

Savage- Megan Thee Stallion
Selene's POV

I jump up rolling onto my side coughing up water and throwing it up all on the floor. Once I get it all out, I was pulled back into someone's lap and I start to fight but the arms tighten around me. "Selene it's me, Felix." He says and I look meeting his eyes. I let out a sigh of relief and look around seeing I was back in the basement. We weren't chained up anymore and I didn't know if that was a bad thing or a good thing. I didn't know what was happening but maybe Felix did.

"Last thing I remember they had a rag over my face and they were pouring water on me. What happened?"

"They tossed you in here like you were nothing. You weren't moving, your pulse was fading. I did CPR for so long, I didn't think you were going to wake up. It was like something was keeping you away."

"Memories." I say sitting up next to him. "Memories of everything I've been through. Felix, they told me Ryder was dead." His eyes start to widen but I keep going. "Be he lied. If she was dead they wouldn't be keeping us alive." He gives me a look.

"You almost died."

"But I didn't."

"Because of me." I roll my eyes.

"There's that ego of yours." I mutter before thinking. "You didn't kiss me did you?" I look to him as he gives me a blank look.

"Even if I did it was to save your life."

"Sorry if I don't want to get on Blake's bad side." Felix chuckles resting his arm over his knee.

"She doesn't have to know."

"So you did kiss me!"

"To save your life!" I smile as he gives me a confused look.

"See, you are a good guy." He rolls his eyes looking away toward the door. He then stays focused on it like if he looked away something bad was going to happen. Like if he looked away they'd come back. We both knew they were going to come back eventually. We just didn't know when. I sigh and bring my knees up to my chest before wrapping my arms around them. I was wet, cold, and trapped in a small space. Life could be worse I guess. How? How could life be worse than this? Could anything be worse than this? Maybe Felix would know but he's busy staring at the door. I wouldn't want to distract him.

     I punch his arm making his glare turn from the door to me. "Staring at the door won't stop them from coming back." He keeps staring at me. "What? I'm speaking facts. Fight me."

     "Maybe I will." He says and unconsciously I scoot away making him smirk. "Don't punch your savior. It isn't nice."

     "Yeah because what we're going through is so nice isn't it." His smirk fades before he looks away and I do too. I take a deep breath and close my eyes leaning my head back against the wall. I needed to let loose. The only way I knew to let loose was to dance but I don't think I could I dance right now. I could try, couldn't I? I stand up and look around at all the space I could move around.

     "What?"

     "I need to let loose."

     "What does that mean?" I narrow my eyes and look at him.

     "It means I need to let loose. You got a problem?" He raises his hands and turns his head away but I could see his eyes keep glancing at me. "Don't judge me."

     "Why would I judge you?" I give him a once over and then raise an eyebrow.

     "Oh I wonder." He rolls his eyes making me smirk again before I take a couple steps back. My legs were weak but I needed to do this. I take a deep breath and close my eyes remembering the stage at the club. I remember one dance we practiced but we never performed it. It was too... exotic- I guess you could say. The dance was to Savage and I memorized each beat, each move, each step. It seemed like the right dance to let loose too. The song plays in my head as I begin to dance whilst keeping my eyes closed. I imagined I was on stage with Gina and all my friends. I imagined a crowd watching us as we danced together. One final time I guess.
