Previously: I looked at Arthur in shock and disbelief. "You've been fucking my cousin?!", I yelled at him. I could feel the bale in my mouth come up and I bent over and threw up whatever that came up.

Now:

I gasped as I finished throwing up whatever I had in my stomach. I got up and glared at him. "Your sick, your a sick asshole. I can't believe I gave you my heart and my love. You sick fucker, seems like your doing just fine without me. You were right pop. They would have been fine without me. I should have stayed in Olympus", I said turning to Zeus. "Is it to late to come back?", I asked him. He gave me a sad smile. "It's never too late my daughter. It's never too late to come home. Either of you", he said looking at Diana. I nodded. Okay then. I looked at Zeus. "Then let's get off this wasteland that some people call home", I said with no emotion in my voice. He held out his hand and I grabbed it. But Someone grabbed my other hand. "Lizzie, baby, please. Let me explain", Arthur begged me. I turned to him and glared at him. "Explain what? That you were sleeping with my cousin, that you were about to kiss her in front of me? I don't want to hear it Arthur, all this time I wanted to come back to you. I came back because I love you. But it seems it's only one sided now", I said as tears welled up in my eyes.

He shook his head. "No, you didn't give me enough time to tell you. That I never slept with her, I never slept with Mera. I never did, I promise you", he said as he gripped my hand in his. I rolled my eyes. "How do you expect me to believe you? After what I had just witnessed. I call bluff", I spat at him. He sighed. "I never wanted to tell you, but soulmates are virgins until they meet their other half, so when I met you. I was overjoyed to know I found you. So what I'm trying to say is......", but I cut him off. "Your a virgin", I said softly. He sighed but nodded. I looked back at Zeus. He sighed and nodded. "It's true. The only reason why I had your brothers and sisters before your mother is because it was years before your mother was even alive. I didn't have soulmate. Not until your mothers name was written on my wrist. I never felt more guilty then after finding out about your mother. That I couldn't share that same experience with her. But she understood. She still loved me for me", he said as he looked down in sadness. I sighed and threw my head back in defeat. I looked back at Arthur. "Fine. But that doesn't explain why you were about to kiss her", I said crossing my arms over my chest. He sighed again. He walked over to me.

He placed his warm hands on my upper arms. "I know what it looked like baby, I know. And if I could I would kick my own ass, but I would never betray you like that. I was never going to kiss her, I was going to push her away, I couldn't be with her when I missed you so much. When my heart still beats for you, when my love for you is still so strong. My love and my heart was always yours. It always has been and always will be yours. I'm sorry. Lizzie, please. Baby. You have to believe me, I would never do that to you", he said as he pleaded. I could see the tears in his eyes. I honestly didn't know what to do. How was I supposed to get this through my head? I had no idea and everything was just happening at the same moment.

Tears filled my own eyes. I shook my head. I sniffled. "I don't Know, Arthur. Everything's just been hitting me all at once. I'm sorry", I said softly as I looked down at the ground. But it wasn't too much longer that I felt his fingers raise my chin up to look at him. His face softened. A sad smile on his lips. "I'll wait As long as I have to, I'm right here whenever you need me. I'm right here baby", he said as he slowly pressed his lips to mine. I seemed to freeze for a second.

But then I recognized those familiar warm lips on mine. I slowly placed a hand on his cheek. Kissing him back. I could feel a tear roll down my cheek. We slowly pulled back. His arms wrapped around me tightly. His eyes still closed. I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Arthur?", I asked him in confusion. Why wouldn't he look at me? "Every night, I would dream of you. But this time it was me reliving the same day where I lost you. I would wake up screaming your name and when I wake up, all I feel is a cold bed. Wishing it was me instead of you that was taken. You have no idea how much I wanted to switch places with you. I can't live in a world where your not in it", he said as a few tears rolled down his cheeks. I could feel another tear slip down my cheek. I raised a hand and wiped away the tears from his cheeks. I couldn't take it anymore. The man I loved, was hurting. And it was because of me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around me tightly. There was no space in between us. "You have no idea how much I missed you, how much I wished and prayed for you back. I still can't believe your back. I can't. I must still be dreaming.  You just can't be here", he said as he let go from the hug and grabbed my cheeks with the palms of his hands. I pressed my hands to his that were pressing against my cheeks.

I gave him a warm and lovingly smile. "I'm here Arthur. And no matter what, I love you, so much. I'm right here", I said softly. He sniffled and let out a sob. He bent to his knees and hugged me around the waist. Pressing his face into my stomach. I could feel my shirt getting wet. I looked down and ran my fingers through his hair. I then slowly and gently and most importantly shakily bent down to my knees and hugged him. He wrapped his arms so tight around me, that it was a bit hard to breathe.

I could hear the sound of his sobs and I could hear the sound of him crying. I couldn't help it and started to cry with him.

I know this complicates things. But I think we can still get through this. Because I know I still love him and he still loves me. I know I want to be with him still. But I just need time. I need time to believe him. To know he won't run off with my cousin. I need to know he'll stay here, with me. So I don't have to be the second choice. He is the love of my life, and I love him.
