This story was inspirited by the song „Skinny love" by Birdy.
Her breath hitched. Her heart sped up. Seeing him with this elleth. Kissing her like he kissed her. It hurt her. But who was she to think that she was enough for him?
„Tauriel", she heard him say. Backing away as he came closer.
„You shouldn't have done that", she said with sorrowful eyes. She felt betrayed. She should have known.
„Tauriel. Amin hiraetha", he said as he reached for her. He felt guilty. But for her it wasn't enough.
„Don't touch me!", she cried, feeling tears in her eyes. They were never meant to be.
Having nothing left to say she turned around and started to walk away.
„Tauriel, please! I love you. I will always love you. Stay", he whispered and she heard.
„Stop lying to yourself, Legolas. There's no love", she whispered bitterly. Was there ever? Seeing him with the other elleth. She would never forget. She would never stop asking herself why this happened. Asking herself why she believed in him. She should have known.
„Tauriel", she started to run. She ran to her chambers. Locking the door behind her. Sliding down to the floor. There she let her tears fall. She ignored the banging on her door as she cried, burying her face in her hand. Screaming as he wouldn't stop apologizing. She didn't want to listen him. Still the words came through. Hurting her more than anything else, because they weren't true.
„Amin hiraetha"
