Like ocean to me

chapter 20

I let myself fall onto my knees.

I don't even care that people are starting to step and trip on me, I cant even feel anything.

All the good times I've had with Andrew are passing through my mind. All the laughs we shared even tho we were constantly arguing. All the water fights we had at the ocean, the way I pretended to be annoyed but was actually having loads of fun. I regret telling him I hated him. I don't. I don't think i ever did. He might have done all that stuff but he was always a great friend. he was loyal, funny, and comforting. And his smile his cocky beautiful smile. oh how i will miss that smile.

And now he's gone.

I look at my tears falling on the dirty floor, slipping away just like Andrew's hand did the last time it left mine.

wait. I know those converse. These are just like Andrews converse. I didn't know I could cry harder but ill even miss his great taste in shoes.

- Emily - I hear someone say.

Great. I'm so sad I'm even starting to hear voices.

- Emily get up what are you doing on the floor ? - i look up to the familiar voice. and there he is, standing there like the complete idiot he is with his stupid cocky smile and a bloody nose.

for a split second I'm frozen but quickly get up and wrap my arms around his neck, giving him the biggest, strongest hug I've ever given in my life, I wont let go of him this time. Hell, he'll have to carry me back to mayfort because I won't let go.

- Hey its ok, were ok... I think I killed it - he says, hugging me back as strongly.

after some seconds I finally look up at him, his constantly changing colors due to all the concert lights. His hair is all over the place and there is a thick line of blood sliding from his nose, yet, he looks perfect. I slowly lean in to wipe the blood with the sleeve of my jacket.

I stare at his lips, I might have never seen them again either... I would kiss him right here and now if i could.

Andrew p.o.v

I can't stop smiling, witch is super weird considering I almost died about 30 seconds ago. honestly I'm just thrilled to be alive.

Emily slowly leans in and carefully wipes the blood off my nose, she's so close to me i can hear her heartbeat beating as out of tune as mine. For a split second I though she was going to kiss me, then I realize that I was actually hoping she'd kiss me.

When I was down there all I could think about was her and what she a doing and how life is too short to keep wasting it pushing her away.

- how ? - she asks. coming back to reality

- well, he suddenly attacked me and at some point we fell down from the stage, gosh, i cant believe that even tho he couldn't see that I was being harassed by a mythical creature that amateur singer didn't even spare a glance at me! Anyway, down dare I banged my head on the ground, then I banged his head on the ground, at some point it looked like he started to have some kind of seizure - ok I am speaking too quickly, I bet she lost me at 'amateur singer', I imagine this is how squirrels talk - I don't even care, I just ran back in here to find you, my phone was in my back pocket so its completely broken, we could've never found each other again - I sigh - also, this song is terrible, this guys sucks. - I chuckle. putting my forehead against hers.

Emily p.o.v

This song is indeed terrible. but its not hard to ignore it when i have Andrew in front of me, making me smile, making me laugh.

I look into his eyes, what else to do except kiss him? its all that is on my mind.

Andrew p.o.v

I start to lean in slowly, I forget that we are in the middle of running for our lives, that there is terrible french song playing and that kissing her right now could totally ruin our friendship/ partnership/ enemy ship, but I want to kiss her, and I think she wants to kiss me too, anything after this can be discussed after we kiss.

now its just about us

me and her.

Emily p.o.v

At any other moment kissing Andrew would seem like a TERRIBLE idea, but he just nearly died and i don't want to wait until he actually does to admit to myself that I've been wanting to kiss him for a long time now. I look into his eyes that are staring back at me with burning with passion.

And then his kisses me.

And here I am, kissing Andrew freaking wheeler.

And his kissing back. Witch I guess makes because technically he is the one who kissed me.

It's like magic

Andrew p.o.v

And here I am kissing Emily freaking York.

I slowly pull away and gaze back at her. She looks happy, at least she's smiling and I'm smiling too. this is... great? i don't even know how to describe it.

My mind is all rainbows and unicorns until something catches my eye. Cretors again. why now of all times???

- we have to get out of here, they're back - I say grabbing Emily and speed walking out of there.

Its not long before the cretors notice were trying to escape and follow us, I really don't feel like running. Ok maybe I shouldn't be thinking like this, neutralizing a cretor doesn't make me immortal. fortunately Emily pushes us into a small alley

Hiding in Paris isn't that hard, there is a small dark alley every two metres and its a really complicated city, very easy to get lost in and yes, I am trying to focus myself on Paris to try and not think about how Emily is really close to me and I want to kiss her again. 

No.. this is not right... we need to talk... i mean, i think we should shouldn't we?

- so... do you want to talk about what happened back there...? - i ask, suddenly feeling very shy.

- No, I don't want to talk  - she says determined, pulling me into another kiss. I guess talking can wait. I'm happy right now, and i think she is too and that's all that maters.

Emily p.o.v

- OMG! GUYS! YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME! OMG I CANT BELIEVE I JUST SAW TWO HUMANS ABOUT TO REPRODUCE! GROSSSSSSS

Me and Andrew get away from each other so fast its scary and gaze at Nia who looks like she is angry but at the same time about blow up with laughter

- WHAT? WE WEREN'T ABOUT TO.. OMG NO! - I shout back, obviously as red as a tomato.

- come on guys, we have to go back now. there are a lot of cretors in Paris, they'll find you soon enough - yeah i noticed, i think about answering, but i don't feel like its a good idea to tell her. 

- so, still can't find away to take you powers, but I believe me and Philip didn't explore all the possibilities sense he also seemed quite shocked to see you two. where do you know him from? - she asks. 

- It's a long story... - I respond, following her out of the alley disappointed that we have to go back, I didn't even get a peak at the Eiffel tower! tho I have to say this trip was not disappointing at all, I think, a small smile making its way to my face while I turn around to look at Andrew. But the only think i find is an empty alley. 

A/N: I'm sorry if the kiss was terrible. I tried...
