Meredith's POV-
I saw him sitting there on the swing, rocking back and forth looking at the ground. I decided to let him know of my presences.
"Why are you doing this Benvolio?" I asked him. His head snapped in my direction and he got off the swing and came to me.
"Doing what?" He asked seemingly flustered.
"Trying to win me over." I answered. He stared at me for a long while and then spoke softly.
"I owe you an apology Meredith. I didn't know how much you depended on me the way that you did. I was a stupid kid trying to tell you without words how I felt about you. If I would have known you were so damaged I would have never left you. Ever." He said getting even closer, so close I could feel his body heat.
I bit my lip and cursed myself for being so vain. How could I hold him responsible for making me like this, I mean he was right we were kids. He couldn't have possibly known about the damage that had been done to me. I was just as wrong in my doings, and it was time that I fix them. I stepped closer to him hesitantly and looked into those deep ocean blue eyes, seeing nothing but kindness in them.
"I'm sorry I'm so stubborn." I whispered gently. He smirked placing his hands on my hips and pulling our bodies together.
"I'm sorry I made you that way." He whispered back swaying us back and forth. Never had a felt so safe with another person. I stared at him for a while and then without words he bent down and kissed me timidly. I was just as timid in my response, but soon it was if we had kissed a thousand times before. His kisses were filled with reassurance and protection, they made my knees weak.
We sat on the swing for a long time, talking. Sometimes we talked about when we were kids and how we thought about each other. Once in a while we would talk about Romeo and Juliet, what we thought about what they had done. He made me laugh until my stomach hurt and he had his adorable full face smile the entire time.
That was the day I truly fell for the quiet boy with the bright blue eyes.
