Sorry it took so long to update (and about the last chapter in general. This is why I should plan stories in advanced.). This is the last chapter and really short.
"Cress?" The voice rang through the murky hair Cress was I. "Cress?" The voice was a little more frantic this time, but it still wasn't very clear.
Another voice, much more urgent and afraid, much louder cut through. "Cress!"
"Huh?" She opened her eyes, and saw Thorne lingering over her.
"You're okay! I thought something had happened to you- I mean you were alive, I could tell you were breathing but-" He kissed her. "I'm just so glad you're okay."
"Thorne?" She sat up. "I wasn't awake for five minutes before you… " She smiled.
"I'm sorry, I just… I'll be honest with you here. I fell in love with you. Head over heels, aces, I loved you. Someone I'd never met. For all I knew you could have been lying to me, about everything. But I didn't care. I loved you, Cress. But then we met, and you- You're really pretty, Cress. And then…"
"What happened after that?" Her memories were fuzzy, a blur.
"Scarlet shot Sybil. You fainted. I was about to-"
"Thorne… It wasn't your fault."
"It doesn't change the fact that I feel like it is."
"We're okay, now, and that is all that matters."
"You're right."
"And I fell for you, too. A long time before we met."
"What?"
"I love you, Thorne." Maybe she shouldn't reveal that. Would he still love her, even if she kind of stalked him on the internet? She kissed him this time.
"I love you, Cress. No matter what."
Answer: yes.
"Aw!" A voice said.
Cress looked around. No one else was in sight. And that definitely wasn't Thorne's voice. "Who said that?"
"You two are so cute!"
"That's our ship. Iko."
"Your ship can talk?" She didn't know why it was a surprise. She had programmed her satellite to talk, so why not his ship?
"Yep. We have a lot to talk about."
"And I will be listening to every word." Iko said.
