Love Was Never Easy

Chapter 4

Legolas' car skidded to a stop beside the fence bordering a small, white house.

"I'm sorry for awhile ago..." the elf whispered once more, "and I'm sorry about...what my girlfriend did..."

Tauriel nodded and somberly got off the car. "Thanks for the ride..." she whispered and made her way towards the steps leading to her door.
The ellon nodded and she wondered why he didn't drive off yet.

"Shouldn't you be going off somewhere by now?" she asked.

"It can wait..." he said.

As much as she wanted to talk to him, the elleth knew she had just been scarred...and had to say goodbye to him.

Moments later, Legolas was back on the road again. When he arrived at school, he hurriedly searched for Araniel and found her by the entrance, talking to other elves.

Wasting no time, he went to her and gripped her arm hard. Reflexively, the elleth tried to break free from his hold, but Legolas was too strong.

"We need to talk." he said firmly and they went out to the school gym which was, thankfully, clear of any other being.

"What do you want?!" hissed the blonde, baffled and confused.

"You know what I want Araniel," he said coldly, "tell me why you humiliated Tauriel in front of the entire student body!"

"Oh shut up!" she fired back, "don't exaggerate- you know well that it wasn't the entire student body, Legolas."

"There were alot watching..." he said simply and tightened his grip on her arm. "Of all the people you had to humiliate-why her?!"

"She was trying to steal you away from me," she reasoned out firmly, "I just warned her."

Legolas couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Is that the only reason?" he asked incredulously, "Araniel-this is despicable! Were you even sure?!You humiliated someone just of mere speculation?! That's it!"

Instantly, he let go of her arm and made his way out.

"That's it Araniel," he said, "we are through!"

"You can't be serious!" she exclaimed.

In response, Legolas glared at her with his cold eyes and turned his back on her.

"We are through..."

Back at her house, Tauriel didn't know what to do. How is she going to show herself tomorrow? To her dismay, the video was uploaded onto the web...but she was certain that it wasn't Araniel.

"Legolas swiped her phone off..."

Legolas. She couldn't help but smile. He was her prince today...he saved her from that crowd.

"No, get a grip, Tauriel." she told herself, "Legolas only did that because it was the right thing to do...that's it!"

She laid down in bed and picked up a wrapped candy.

"You're my friend in the world..." she whispered to the sweet as she unwrapped it and put it in her mouth.

The sugar was working wonders on her right now and she felt better. She could do this routine for hours and hours...
Then, her phone rang.

Looking on the screen, she saw an unknown number. She sighed.

"Probably someone to ridicule me..." she thought. But nevertheless, there as that urge un her that told her to answer it. So she pressed the phone icon and pressed the device against her ears.

"Hello...?" she asked.

"Tauriel, thank goodness you picked this up..." a voice came.

"Who is this?" she asked.

"It's me...Legolas..."

Right at that moment, she inhaled sharply. Tauriel could've sworn that the candy in her mouth must have gotten the best of her imaginations.
