Hello my friends !

Thanks for always being there, it means a lot to me. I hope you'll like this chapter and I wanted to thank you all for your love&support&reviews!

I love you all!

Previously in Our story can never be over:

So Morgana took a deep breath and her phone, dialing a simple text.

What happened between us... It meant something to me. We really have to talk, Merlin.

She would tell him more in person, he needed to know everything before making a choice.

But right now, her heart was beating so loud in her chest that she could hear it in her head. Her phone buzzed and she held her breath, reading the text...

I know we have to talk.

She was about to answer but then another text...

And it meant something to me, too. You know it does, Morgana.

She read that text a thousand times.

And there was still a huge smile on her face each time...

All was not lost.

He was not lost to her just yet.

She could still fight.

And fight she would.

Chapter 7 :

A FEW DAYS LATER...

Gwen was anxious to go to school.

She knew Lancelot would be there and she wasn't sure yet how to react in front of him.

She didn't know who to talk to, either.

Arthur was out of question, he would kill Lancelot with his bare hands.

Merlin had other things to think about.

Morgana did, too.

She was alone.

Unless...

She had become friend with another man in her school, a newcomer called Gwaine.

Gwen didn't know if it was appropriate to share such details of her life so soon, but she needed to talk to someone.

So she took a deep breath,

And started walking.

Arthur couldn't focus on hiw work.

Not when all that was on his mind was Guinevere and the strange way she was acting...

He wanted to be there for her and couldn't just accept the fact that she didn't want him to.

The man sighed and took his phone.

A: You know that I love you, right? More than anything in this bloody world. I hope your day is going well, and you know I am here if you need anything. Anything, Guinevere.

And then, after sending his text, he waited.

But the answer never came.

Merlin didn't know what to do.

He was in his bed, thinking.

Freya had not pushed when he had repeatedly said that he wasn't in the mood for more in the past few days, but he knew that it couldn't last forever.

So now, what was his options?

He sighed again loudly and Freya stretched besides him.

He froze.

Bloody Hell.

"Merlin..." she whispered and he swallowed, before turning to look at her and she cupped his cheeks, eyes so concerned it broke his heart.

What was he doing?

"Talk to me." she breathed tenderly, thumbs stroking his skin.

He opened the mouth.

Nothing came.

He couldn't do that.

So instead, he took her hands and removed them from his face, laying a small kiss on her knuckles.

"I am sorry." At least that part was true. "It's just work. A lot of pressure. Hard to handdle."

And then, before she could add something else, he fled all the while cursing his cowardness.

He knew he was hurting her.

But what could he do?

Morgana was at her father's business and she swallowed dryly.

Because she had decided to stay and that meant she had to find a job.

Now, she had always said that she wouldn't take one from her father, but now she really had no other choice.

He life was complicated enough as it was.

She needed this job.

Guinevere knocked and the door opened, she saw Gwaine's eyes widened when he saw her, before he smiled widely at her.

She didn't quite feel comfortable.

But she really needed someone to talk to.

"Can I come in?" she asked and he smiled again.

"Of course, Princess." he walked in and waved at her to follow him, she was about to and then her phone rang.

Arthur.

His text brought tears to her eyes, and her heart broke because she would want nothing more but being able to talk about it with him...

But she couldn't.

She knew how it would end.

So she took a deep breath.

And came in.

Morgana came into the hospital and asked for Doctor Emrys, a few seconds later Merlin arrived and she couldn't decide if he looked happy to see her, or upset.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he whispered.

Upset, then.

"I needed to see you." she answered and he nodded, taking her hand and leading her to a dark room at the end of a corridor.

(She tried not to notice how right it felt to have his hands on hers.)

"What is it, Morgana?" he asked, voice soft suddenly and it warmed her insides instantly.

God, she loved him.

"I just wanted to tell you that I found a job at Uther's Compagny."

Merlin's eyes widened and she knew why. He was well aware of the fact that she had always said she would never do so. But Morgana only smiled tenderly and took a step closer, delighted when he didn't take one back.

"Some things are worth make compromises for..."

Merlin couldn't help the smile blossoming on his sighed and cupped her cheek tenderly while she leant into his hand. His eyes got lost on her lips and she knew he wanted to kiss her just as badly as she wanted to kiss him, but then they heard voices coming from the corridor and he jumped out of his daydream, taking a step away and she felt instantly cold.

"You shouldn't have come here. Freya is in the hospital and I don't want her to worry more than she already is."

Morgana's heart broke.

"I understand."

And she did.

It was an impossible situation for him, too.

She was about to leave when he talked one last time,

"Morgana? I really am happy that you're staying."

She smiled.

Arthur sighed deeply.

Still no sigh of his wife.

He had tried to call her at midday...

Nothing.

Now, it was almost 4pm and he knew she was the one supposed to pick Nicholas from school, so he tried once again to join her.

"Hello?" came her voice and he let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

"It's me." he only said and heard her chuckle slightly.

"I do know that, Arthur. Your name appears on the phone."

He tried a smile.

But then...

"What is it, Guinevere? Are you alright?" then he added, "I am worried about you."

A silence.

"I am fine." she said and he sighed again.

"Gwen..."

"Really."

"I just want to be there for you." he admitted and heard her breath catch. "That's also what I signed for when we married, remember?"

Another silence.

"I love you." is all that she said and he smiled, closing his eyes, feeling a bit relieved by her words.

"Please, talk to me."

Again, silence.

"Nick is leaving school, I have to go."

"Please, wait-"

"I'll see you at home."

And then she closed the call.

And Arthur was left with his phone in his hand...

And a very bad feeling about it all.
