Caspian had not wanted to see anyone for two days. He remained his room in deep thought. He didn't understand why Sarah wouldn't accept his feelings for her. He cared for her like he did for no other. He was sure he was in love, but he had the strongest feeling that Sarah didn't feel the same about him…and that broke his heart. He didn't think that he could feel worse than when Susan left but it turns out he was wrong.

"Your highness?" Trufflehunter called from outside the door.

Caspian sighed before opening the door.

"Yes Trufflehunter?"

"I came to check on you, you have seemed quite unhappy."

"I am unhappy."

"Why is that?"

Caspian looked at his friend with a hurt face before answering.

"Sarah." Was all it took for the badger to understand.

"Does she not return your feelings?"

"It does not appear so." Caspian was disheartened. He had never felt his heart ache like this before.

"Perhaps all she needs is time."

Caspian thought about this while walking out on his balcony. He looked over to Trufflehunter before looking back at the beauty of Narnia.

"She has had time." He said before walking out of his room.

Trufflehunter sighed and decided to fallow.

'I'm sure this will all turn out well.' Trufflehunter thought.

Sarah couldn't quite understand her own feelings. She knew she cared for Caspian very much, she suspected that she loved him. But she had such a hard time trusting guys that she didn't know if telling him was a good idea or not. She wanted to tell him desperately but she couldn't bring herself to. She closed her eyes and sighed.

'I just can't seem to tell him.' Sarah thought. 'I know I care for him…more than I've ever cared for any guy…but I just can't tell him.' Sarah felt a tear slid down her cheek as she thought about what not telling him would mean. 'Why am I getting so emotional?' She asked herself before continuing with her other thought. 'If I don't tell him I know I'll regret it for the rest of my life…I don't want to go on thinking of what might have happened.' Sarah had made up her mind. 'I have to tell him.'

Sarah got up and left her room. While walking to Caspian's room she felt the nervousness in the pit of her stomach.

She knocked on his door. She was surprised to find Trufflehunter answer instead of Caspian.

"May I help you Lady Sarah?"

"Yes, I was just wondering where Caspian is." She told him. There was a twinkle in his eye as she said this.

"The prince went for a walk to clear his thoughts, it appears as something as been bothering him as of late." He told her.

"Do you know what's bothering him?"

Instead of answering directly he turned to her and asked her a question.

"Lady Sarah, if I may ask, what are your exact feelings for our prince?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you have feelings for him?"

Sarah looked down. She couldn't look at the little badger. She nodded slowly.

"Then go to him, and explain why you have been avoiding him…I know from the look on your face he is in as much heart ache as you are, Lady Sarah."

Sarah smiled and hugged her friend.

"Thank you Trufflehunter."

With a smile Sarah left the room, off to find Caspian hopping that she could explain her feelings and that he'd understand why she has been avoiding her.

Sarah walked through the gardens and courtyard looking for Caspian. She couldn't find him and began to think that he had gone on a horse ride or a walk around the town. Right as she was about to give up hope of finding him in that instant she found him on the same hill where they shared their first kiss. Seeing him on the hill made her feel nervous. She had no idea how she was going to talk to him about her feelings. She hopped that Trufflehunter was right about him feeling the same but she was worried about being rejected by him. This was a guy that she was most certain she was in love with, so being rejected by him would hurt more than being rejected by anyone else. She wasn't sure what it was that made her love him so much, she just knew she did and at that moment that was all that mattered.

Slowly she made her way up the hill. The nervousness she felt only grew as she became closer to him. She sighed before standing right next to him. She looked up at him just admiring how handsome he was.

'ok…it's now or never.' She thought looking away from him.

"Caspian," He turned to her upon hearing his name. "Look, I have a really hard time trusting guys…so because of that I've been blocking out the things I've been feeling for you and…" She stopped herself. She couldn't put the last part into words. This was the first time she would confess to a guy that she loved him and didn't know how to. "I just…I don't know how to trust guys." Sarah couldn't think of any other way to put it. She hopped he understood.

He turned his body to face hers and looked her in the eye.

"You can trust me Sarah, I promise you."

"You can't promise that." Sarah said with tears in her eyes shaking her head. She really has become more emotional while in Narnia.

"Yes I can,"

"No you can't…most promise's are broken before they're even made."

"I can promise it Sarah, because I love you." Caspian said cupping her face in his hands. "I care not of your blood line; I love you because you are you."

"Oh, Caspian." The tears in her eyes had finally fallen, out of joy, before Caspian kissed her softly. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck.

For the first time in her life she felt safe in the arms of guy. Sure she felt safe in her dad's arms and her best friend's brother's arms but this was a different kind of safe, it was the kind that let her know that no matter what she did or said he'd never judge her and never stop loving her. Once the feeling had completely sunk in she leaned closer into his body. She was amazed at how perfectly they seemed to fit together. She focused on nothing but the feeling of Caspian's lips on hers. This was definitely her favorite feeling in the world. As he was pulling away she leaned farther up and threaded her hand through his hair so the kisses wouldn't stop.

They only pulled away as the need for air became too great, and when they did they didn't move from their positions, she looked him right in the eye before speaking.

"Caspian…I…I love you too." She said with a soft shy smiled smile. Caspian grinned at her before kissing her again. She pulled away and looked him in the eye.

"Caspian, I need to know that you'll be there for me when I need you and when things aren't ok you'll try to make them ok." Sarah was terrified of getting hurt. He rest his forehead against hers before speaking softly.

"I will always be here for you, Sarah, no matter what problems you are having I will always do my best to make them good again."

Caspian reached down and kissed her again. Neither of them wanted to stop and they both felt like they were living the perfect dream as their lips moved against each others. They spent the rest of the afternoon on the hill that way; just being in each others arms, holding each other tightly, and loving the feeling of each others lips and soft and passionate kisses.

They finally admitted to each other how they feel ^.^ I hope everyone likes this chapter.

I know at the end of the last chapter I posted a link to the playlist/soundtrack and I noticed that it didn't show up so I'm guessing it's just the site or the link it's self but I did put it on a different site and I will post it on my profile. The first 2 songs are for the last chapter (the first one is how Caspian feels and the chorus of the 2nd one is how Sarah feels) and the 3rd song is for this chapter. I used that one because Sarah does have a hard time trusting guys so she wants to know that he'll be there for her before she gives into her feelings for him. ^.^

Remember reviews are loved ^.^ and if you do have any questions about this chapter or the story over all or the playlist then feel free to message me ^.^

Thanks for reading
