Disclaimer. : Wicked and character do not belong to me sadly.
Anyway now enjoy the next chapter in the I am Wicked Series.
Separated but Never Apart.
Glin! Glinda you have to stay away! Don't come looking! Promise me! Stay with Boq! Keep the pendant close don't take it off!
I saw her emerald face looking at me worried, she still wore the hat I had given her. To think I gave her that so long ago. And yet I felt the tears falling the heart break wrapping around me.
"ELPHIE! No Elphie don't go! What's going on!" I cried as I reached out my hand. I could see the tear stains on her cheek, she didn't want to go I could see it in her eyes.
Glin…you will always be my best friend"
A tear fell down her cheek as she turned to leave, I tried to get to her. But as much as I tried to could never reach her. My whole body went into panic.
"No! Elphie! Come back! Elphie!"
But it was too late. I saw her take Fiyero's hand, he kissed her green hand and they left, before I could reach out. I cried in misery feeling alone and felt someone pulling me away
"No! NO! Elphie! Don't leave me..dont leave me!"
"Glin! Love! Glinny! Wake up your having a nightmare" I gasped waking up in Boq's arms, his eyes staring at me worried and very concerned. I let out a breathe trying to calm down, my body was covered in sweat.
"Shhh it's alright, I'm here my Glin." I hugged him tight, his embrace tightened around me and I felt safe. I couldn't have another nightmare like that. This made the fourth nightmare this week. All about Elphie and Fiyero….the feeling of me being alone and Boq not around. I was not used to him being here every time I woke up from a nightmare.
I felt so much better to see his eyes, to know the amazing truth, a truth that had not yet completely wrapped around my mind. I wasn't alone anymore. I had my Boq, and he would always be here. He would never disappear or leave me.
He kissed my forehead gently, "What was the nightmare my dear? It's alright it was only a dream" I shook my head just closing my eyes.
"E..lphie…" I whispered trying not to get upset. He ran his hand through my curls, my heart rate slowing down as the fear and loneliness left me.
"I'm sorry Glin. Don't worry I'm here it was all a dream. You're here with a man that loves you more than anything in this world." I smiled gently at his words, just his voice calmed me down.
"Boq…I love you. I just….I miss her..and Fiyero..I never got to.."
"I know. Maybe one day, You will be able to…." I shook my head slowly sitting up. How could it even be possible to thank her…to tell her I'm sorry for everything? That was the truth It wasn't possible? My hand went to the pendant around my neck, tracing the cursive engraving that still sent shock through me.
I wouldn't believe it was a gift from Elphie. I wouldn't. When I tried to question Boq he always changed the subject or sent me to a meeting more frustrated than ever. I closed my eyes for a moment, It had only been almost a month since Boq came into my life, and each moment has been a treasure to me. I enjoyed every moment with him. I still worried about losing him one day, if I messed up he could be gone within a second.
"I know that look, what are you thinking my dear?" he set up and began to play with my hair. I sighed playing with the pendant.
"I don't know where I would be without you.." he smiled, touching my hand that held the pendant.
"Glin..come on today we are going somewhere special. You love it. Hurry and get dressed." Before I could say no he was up and ran into my bathroom to get ready. I sighed heavily not sure if I could do this. Today we were heading to Shiz, Boq said he had something to show me. But I just felt the heartache coming back. I didn't think I could face that place again. The memories would be too painful….and to think I'm young but feel so old.
I turned to face my reflection in the mirror, I hated looking at my reflection anymore, my eyes would end up like they always did. They landed on the pendant., its mystery keeping me tense and curious. Why wouldn't Boq tell me anything about it? My mind trailing back to the note that was taped to the box.
Never take it off, its special…
But why? Why is it?
"Don't you just look beautiful" Boq smiles walking behind me holding me close.
"My beautiful Glinda, you ready to go?" as much as I didn't want to go I nodded, quietly as he lead me to the carriage.
The ride there was quiet, quieter than normal. I was afraid Boq was getting onto me, he knew I was worried about the pendant. He knew I wanted answers,..but did he know something?
I saw the Gate of Shiz, feeling my heart tug at the hurt memories going through my mind. The moment I met Elphie, the moment I first saw the Fiyero….the first day I met my love..and ignored him. Why would Boq bring us back here, there were good memories yes, but the guilt. Why bring me here?
"Come on Glin, there's something I want to show you." Boq says very gently, that perfect voice that makes me feel safe. But I could sense some nervousness in it. Ever since Elphie, and Fiyero left. I made sure to know that I could tell when something was bothering anyone I cared about.
And with Boq I was getting better and better every day.
I took his hand and let him lead me, I didn't realize where he was taking me till we literally walked into the Ozdust ballroom. I couldn't believe he brought me here. I just couldn't. It all looked the same, untouched by time.
"Oh Boq…it looks the same, just like…" I whispered for a moment. Boq cleared his throat, I turned to see him bow.
"Just like our first dance here, I had it all fixed all of these are the original lights, decorations that were from that night. You know…" he smiled, "I never got that dance Miss Glinda, I have been waiting awhile."
I smiled gently taking his hand, he was replacing guilt filled memories with good, he was truly the most amazing, loving man in this world.
"I would be honored, I saved the best dance for the one I love" I remembered what he had said the day I pushed Nessa on to him. If I would at least save one dance for him, this dance …it was saved for him. It was this dance, I was dancing with him because I loved him and I had become the right person I needed to be.
As we danced I saw a change come to Boq's eyes. Nervousness but..love.
"Glinda…My Glin, I want to ask you something." I blushed whenever he called my his Glinda.
"Ask me anything." What happened next shocked me to death. He stopped dancing, his lips touched mine as he whispered.
"Will you save the rest of this dance at least…on our wedding day" my heart stopped as he got down on one knee and pulled a ring out of his pocket. The ring was beautiful, it was a iced pink diamond, small white diamonds on a gold band that looked like vines.
"Boq..oh oz..Yes! Yes I will!" I felt happy tears burn my eyes as he stands placing the ring perfectly on my finger before kissing me softly.
For that moment, just that moment I wanted Elphie there, I wanted to hear her squeal happily for me. Be there to hug me say congratulations, be there to be my maid of honor. I wanted it more than anything now as I kissed Boq.
Suddenly I felt this feeling overwhelm me. Magic was coming over me.
"Boq…" his eyes widen I don't know what's happening, I looked down and see the pendant is glowing the saying on the back shining as well. Then all goes black, all I hear is a yell.
GLINDA!, Elphaba! Fiyero help her!
