Forever and Always

12 The importance

Krista's POV-

I slowly open my eyes, revealing me in a dark place. I look around me, but everything is just blurry. I think i'm in a car. With who though?

"Ymir?" I say with a tired, shaky voice.

"No, it's Sasha, i'm driving you to my house so you can spend the night. You have a hot forehead and you fainted at the party, so you can't be home by yourself."

"N- no, take me back, I want to see Ymir, please", I plead.

"I'm sorry Krista but you need to get some rest", she says with a soft voice.

"Then bring me back to Ymir, I'll rest with her, I want to sleep in her arms, while she holds me, please, I want to see her", I say with tears filling up in my eyes.

"K- Krista i'm sorry but I can't bring you ba-"

"Why? Why can't you bring me to her. Please Sasha. I just want to see her face, her beautiful face. Without her I am nothing. I want to be with her Sasha. I want her arms to be wrapped around me while I fall asleep. I want her to whisper to me that everything is going to be ok. When i'm with her I feel safe. Sasha... I- I need her!" I say sobbing in my arms.

Sasha pulls over into the nearest parking lot and then looks over to me.

"What's her address?" She asks.

I give it to her and then she speeds off going straight there.

"Thank you Sasha, thank you so much."

"I have a question Krista", Sasha says.

"What is it?" I say wiping my tears away.

"Are you in love with her?" She asks abruptly.

L- love? In... love?

My heart starts to beat out of my chest. My cheeks turn red and my hands start to shake.

"I-"

"It's ok, I can pretty much already tell... Krista, you're in love with Ymir."

"W- what, no i'm n- not", I say as my voice shakes up and down.

Psh. She thinks i'm in love with Ymir. She's just a friend that i'm rather close too, really close too. I mean maybe I think she's like cute and attractive, but that's normal for people to find other people attractive without loving them.

Sasha pulled in on the side of the street to where Ymir's apartment was. I get out as quick as I can and closed the car door.

I'm kind of scared to see her. What if she's mad?

I walk up to her apartment door and knock on it slowly.

"Hey Ymir, it's Krista, I don't know if you will open the door because I assume you're too hurt to get up. But, I just want to say thank you so much, for everything Ymir."

The door creaks open and I see Ymir standing there with tears in her eyes.

"Ymir!" I say wrapping my arms around her while tears form rushing down my face.

She wraps her arms around me as well, and we both fall to our knees still hugging each other.

"Ymir I'm so sorry, you got hurt because of me and I couldn't even do anything about it. I just stood there as you fought for me.", I say sobbing on her shoulder.

"Krista, nothing is your fault. I did that because I wanted to protect you. It was my decision. And I will keep protecting you for as long as I live. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Krista, you mean so much to me." Ymir says crying softly.

"Ymir... Ymir why did you leave!" I say shouting and crying. "Ymir you can't leave me, I am nothing without you Ymir. I want you to stay with me. Not just tonight but every night. I want you to hold me. Please Ymir... never leave me." I say looking into her teary eyes.

"Krista, I will stay with you forever. I'm sorry. I left because all the girls were there for you and hugging you and doing all these things for you, so I felt unimportant to you", Ymir says cupping my cheek with her right hand and interlocking her fingers with my left hand.

"Ymir you're so important to me. I've never cared about someone as much as I care about you", I say laying my head on her shoulder.

"Thank you, Krista. For everything", she says wrapping her arms around me.

Her face was still stained with dry blood and bruises. I still needed to help her.

We held each other in our arms in silence, while you could hear both of our tear drops fall onto the floor.

"Ymir I have to help you get better, is there anything I can do to help you're face or stomach", I say looking at her with concern.

"Well, you can come into my bed and sleep by my side with me, that will make me feel better."

I nod with a smile and we both get up and head to her bed.

I lied there. Ymir and I were both facing the outside wall, and she had her arm wrapped around me and her head leaned on the back of my head. But it's not enough. I want her to hold me tight in both of her arms.

"Ymir", I say turning around to face her.

It reminded me of the first day she slept over my house. Which was literally like 2 days ago. But so much has changed from then.

"Can I lay on you please, and you hold me tight?" I ask her hoping it's ok.

She nods and I get up and lay my entire body on hers, and I wrap my arms around her, laying my head on her chest.

She held me tight, making me feel so safe and comforted.

I looked up at her and she looked down at me, with a sparkle in her eyes. I leaned up, and pressed my lips up against hers. And we slowly kissed each other. But the kiss wasn't like any other kiss. This kiss had so much meaning, and it lasted so long.

As we finish our kiss and I lay my head back down on my chest, she leans down and whispers in my ear,

"I won't let anything else happen to you. Everything is going to be ok."

With that, I fell asleep peacefully, with her arms wrapped around me, as I always wished for.

A/N- Ok that is so cute, i love them. That was the end of the first part of the story. But the next chapters will be part 2 with another big conflict. I have a feeling this next part is going to be really meaningful for the two of them. Read to find out what happens in part 2 of 'Forever and Always'
