If It Kills Me, a maximum ride fanfic

Based on Jason Mraz's song 'If It Kills Me'. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it. Infact, I'm listening to it know. This is for Krisztina, for not updating on the Kriggy Story XD

Krisztina was lying in her bed, her eyes frozen open to the sound of the wind howling in just about every direction she could think of. The black velvet sky covered her window, with just a tint of red. She would've thought it was beautiful if she wasn't so scared.

Sighing heavily, the teenager rolled over to the right side of her body, trying to go to sleep.

SCCCRREEEEEEECCCHHHH…

Krisztina nearly chocked on her own spit at that point. Was someone trying to get into the house?

Realising she shouldn't jump to conclusions, Krisz pulled the blanket even further over her head and squeezed her eyes shut.

CREEEEEEEK…

Now her heart was beating quicker as the sweat trickled off her nose. Wanting to put this fear to an end, she hopped out of bed, put her socks on and looked around the house.

Her dad hadn't come home yet; for what reason, she didn't know.

The bathroom: Nothing there.

Her office: Nothing.

The kitchen: Yep- nothing.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. She thought to herself. Shaking her head, Krisz started to walk back to her room, unaware of what would happen next.

"Ow, son of a bitch!" A voice sprang out from the house and crawled up to Krisz's ears.

Okay, maybe I'm not being paranoid…

Since she was in the kitchen, she grabbed the sharpest knife she could find, and was in battle mode. So to speak.

Krisz was approaching her door, which was half-open, but she was too anxious to see inside.

Instead, she kicked it open with one swift motion and lunged for her prey.

At least she was going to, until she saw the unthinkable.

"Iggy…" Her voice was barely a whisper.

Sure enough, a pale tall figure stepped out of the shadows and flicked his head to the side, revealing his deep blue eyes.

Krisztina had to restrain herself from crying. He had come back. But why?

"If you're going to kill me, can I at least have something to eat first?" He said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

She didn't even smirk at his comment. All she could think about was why.

"Why?" Krisz's voice broke out. It was croaky and soft, but hopefully still understandable.

Reading her mind, Iggy lowered his eyes downwards. "I came back because I wanted to. I needed to see you."

Blinking a couple to times, her watery eyes met with his for the first time in two years.

"You're lying." She simply said, with an icy tone.

But they both knew he was right.

"Krisztina…" The way he said her name… It sent shivers down her spine.

"Don't say it." She interrupted him.

They both knew what was coming.

"Just listen." Iggy insisted.

They both knew what he was about to say.

He stepped a little bit closer to her so they were in arms reach.

"I love you."

His eyes were full of sorrow and regret. Her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety.

Krisz bit her bottom lip to not force out a scream. It was too late.

"YOU LEFT ME!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. "For two whole years, Iggy. How can I possibly agree with what you're saying?"

Ignoring her anger, Iggy edged closer to her. "Because it's true. And- And I hope you can forgive me."

She had to hold back a laugh. Forgive him? It's almost impossible.

"I think you should go…" Her voice was back to a whisper, and now she was making eye contact with the floor.

Shaking his head, Iggy stayed put. "I'm not leaving you again."

This time, his hand swooped down on hers, clutching it to his.

There was a big lump in Krisztina's throat. She wasn't sure anymore. She just wanted to feel at peace again.

"I love you." He repeated once more, his breath tickling her ear and his lips lingering on her cheek.

Before she could reply, his mouth was on top of hers.

All of her senses faded out and she couldn't think any longer. It's like his lips were a pause button.

Not wanting to resist it any longer, Krisztina pushed her body up against his, so not even a sheet of paper could come between them.

Slowly, Iggy wrapped his hands around her small waist and at that moment, Krisz felt so safe. So secure.

They both somehow stumbled over the Hiroshima state-like room and sat down on the bed, not letting go of each other.

Her hands tangled through his hair, as the sunrise was visible through the window.

She knew that a sunrise was a symbol of a new phase in life. Krisz smirked against his mouth as they both deepened the kiss even more.

All she really wanted to do was to love him. But she couldn't say it even after all they've been through.

Now, she didn't have to say it. They both knew.

Iggy and Krisztina loved each other, and they would find a way to be together again, even if it killed them.

Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Cause you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

Well how long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all

Baby there's a lot that I miss
In case I'm wrong

If I should be so bold
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said I would
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me
