Hey guys I was shocked when I saw people review this story other than me. I only wrote this because I love Deltora quest but I wasn't expecting people to actually read it because DQ is pretty old now. Thank you so much and here is chapter two I hope you enjoy and review.

Disclaimer: I dont own deltora quest or any of its characters

Chapter two: the argument

Lief was shocked from her words. He thought he had already convinced her not to leave but now she was leaving.

"But jasmine I thought you said you weren't leaving. When I asked you to stay you said yes only because I- I mean we need you here.", he said worried.

I know but it's just I can't stand living here anymore and I know you guys need me here but I need to return to the forest it's were I belong.", her eyes were now watering.

Lief couldn't stand seeing her like this and he couldn't just let her leave.

"I'm sorry you feel this way Jasmine but we will all miss you, I will miss you.", now tears were streaming down his cheeks.

"Lief if you really do care about me then let me leave!", she yelled at him now irritated and sad.

Lief now was getting irritated and yelled at her without thinking

"Ugh why do you hate Del so much Jasmine! You are so selfish and stubborn! Can't you just once consider that other people have feelings and opinions on things!", after he said this he immediately felt bad but Jasmine got really upset and ran out of the room slamming the door behind her.

Lief ran to his room and slamming med his face in his pillow. His eyes were red and his pillow was soaking with tears.

Why can't she just move on like a normal person. She should just deal with the fact that things change and she doesn't have to live in the forest her whole life . He thought to himself.

He layed there until he cried himself to sleep.

It was morning and Lief was still sleeping until someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!", he shouted.

It was Barda

"Barda what are you doing here?" He asked

"I heard you and jasmine's fight last night and I wanted to tell you that you can't keep her here if she doesn't want to. As much as you want her to stay it's up to her if she wants to stay or leave.", he told Lief trying not to hurt him.

"I know I just don't want her to leave. She means the world to me and I'm not ready to let her go.", he said beginning to tear up again. He didn't even care that he was saying this out loud now.

"Lief it's not your decision I'm sorry but you have to deal with it and not fight the fact that she is leaving.", he said a little harsh.

Lief was gurt by his words and started crying again.

Barda left the room and shut his door.

"I love her so much and now she is leaving. I think I made it worse when I yelled at her. Now she probably hates me.", he thought out loud.

Then someone else knocked on the door.

"Ugh who is it now?!", he yelled

"Lief could you at least not be rude.", a voice said joke-fully.

Jasmine opened the door.

"Oh what do you want.", he said a little rude.

"Lief why are you so upset that I'm leaving. Everyone else already accepted it and said that they will let me leave if I want. Of course Doom was pretty upset but he finally gave up.", she said calmly as she sat next to him on his bed.

"It's just we've been through so much together and now you decide to leave. I do care about you but I just can't handle the fact that I'll never see you again.", he said tears still in his eyes.

"Lief that's not true! I can visit you in Del and you can visit me in the forests. We can still see eachother just not all the time!", she said with a light tremble in her voice.

Lief noticed that she was trying to hold back tears. He could see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. He couldn't take it anymore he pulled her closer and hugged her in a tight embrace. Jasmine hugged him back and alowed herself to cry in his arms.

"Jasmine?", He said softly still holding her in his arms.

"Yes?"

"I-I-I'm going to miss you.", he said as if he was defeated.

"I'm going to miss you too.", she said still crying.

She finally lets go of Lief and walked towards the door.

"Well I guess I should go pack my stuff.", she said wiping away her tears as she left his room.

He stood up off of his bed and got changed. He decided to go to the forge for a while ignoring his converstation he and Sharn had had the night before.
