I looked into his eyes and realised I had done something that I swore to myself I'd never do. I had fallen in love. I was completely and utterly in love with the dead boy with the messy blond hair and the huge dark eyes. The dead boy who made me feel more alive than I ever had been before I met him. The dead boy who was everything to me.
He leant forward and kissed my forehead, one hand pulling me closer to him, one hand holding my head against his chest. I fit in his arms like a jigsaw puzzle. We were meant to be. I could feel it every time we were together. I thought about what I had before I met him, my dreams, everything that I ever promised myself. None of that mattered now. He changed everything.
"Are you ready, Ells?", Tate whispered in my ear.
I felt something, and I couldn't reply to him. I couldn't get any words out.
There's not much you can say when there's a cold silver gun against the side of your head.
