I hated Blue for almost 10 years. It took me 72 hours to fall in love with her. 

Even though it might seem unusual for a 17 year old, I have a habit of timing things. In 6th grade it took me 2 hours to stand on the boogie board without falling on the water. Almost 5 days to read 'Dracula' in freshman year and 7 days to gather courage and ask a girl called Mary to go out with me. 12 minutes to set up an Instagram account and half an hour to organize my room every time we come to Cousins. 

Honestly, I don't know why I do it. To make my dad's watch or maybe to get a sense of control. Regardless of the motive, I've done it since I was a kid. The numbers make sense, I was afraid of falling so it took me a while to learn to stand confidently on the board, afraid of being rejected so it took me a whole week to ask a girl out. 

But I can't, for the love of my sanity, explain what happened this past week. Ellie is someone I never liked, since the day she compared me to Sid, from the Ice Age, things between us have been a war zone. I can't help it, she gets under my skin like no one else ever did. 

So I'd like to understand why, while we were stuck together during a storm, it took me just 72 hours to fall in love with her.

Afraid (SLOW UPDATES) by NightTime_Storiexs

Fallon: Things took a turn for the absolute worst in my life when I came home and found my parents murdered on the living room floor. Nobody knew what happened or whose hands were covered in blood. All we knew was that I had to be hidden and kept safe. I had no other choice. So, I packed up and moved, leaving college, friends, and whatever I had left of my family behind. Darkmond Academy. The most pristine and well-kept secret of Darkmond. An academy for the rich where every drop of corruption is concealed and cleaned up with pieces of money. I hate it here. And I want nothing more than to go home. I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. Including finding the real murderer. What I never expected was to meet him. And to fall in love with him. The one person here I should hate. "I'm afraid of wanting him. And I'm afraid of having him. And I'm afraid once we do this, we'll lose each other forever." Kai: Things took a turn for the absolute worst in my life when she walked in through those doors. Nobody knew why she was here or how long she would stay. But I knew. I knew exactly what had happened and exactly who was responsible for it. I decided in a heartbeat to keep her away from me. I'd do her no good, only put her at risk. I couldn't save her from anything, only threaten her with everything. It would be best for the both of us to keep a distance. But we want what we want. And when we want, we take it. And I want her. I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. Including betraying the only family I've ever known. Because I'd choose her, over and over again. "I'm afraid of wanting her. And I'm afraid of hurting her. And I'm afraid once I have her, I'll never let her go." . . . © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
