Blue met green across the courtyard, only to be torn away in a fit of nerves.
No, she would not allow him to get under her skin. Oh, who the hell was she kidding, he already was. A poison; a drug that could never be bled from her body, nor did she want it to be. She was addicted to this pain that was him, to the utopia that was him.
Her eyes traveled to his form. He was teaching her sister some kind of defense moves, she watched as his muscles slid beneath that sweater.
The sweater stained with her tears, their tears.
She felt her cheeks burn as the memory of that night seared itself behind her already scorched eyelids. She would never be able to forget it, would she really want to?
Angry shouts turned to tears, sweat, gasping, only to be followed by falling into an abyss from which she would never recover.
A low moan slipped through her lips as the faint remembrance of gentle lips caressing her neck as hands glided over her skin. The tenderness of that night was something she had never known, nor was the passion, the fear. God, she was afraid!
Frustrated, she swept her hair back and her tearful eyes again watched him. Oh, the irony of the situation was not lost on her.
'Please,' she thought, 'explain why this is killing me!'
She could not breathe, this thing, this thing that scared more than anything, was oppressing. She needed to get away. To run away.
She needed to be anything, anywhere that was not him.
A sob tore through her throat as she made the final decision. She would grab her sister and run, but could she really leave?
Damn, they had heard her.
She saw her sister cast a worried glance then bolt inside; she could already hear the younger girl's footsteps climbing the stairs. Then she felt his stare on her skin, in her very soul. He was there, forever, bound in a way no one could ever know. His love lighting her heart, the one she had once thought dead, only to have him revive it.
It scared her, this feeling towards him. But she would spare him the pain of her love; she would surely die before him, even now. 'Damn you, Giles!'
Blue met green.
