Part 10

She didn't make it far. His story spinning in her mind, she settled on bench just yards away from his caravan. Oblivious to the thought he could see her. Her subconscious wanting her to be found.

There were still so many questions she had to ask. Answers needed. She knew his story. He didn't know hers. This, just the beginning of theirs. Life was never easy. His book, almost seeming a worthy leaving gift now, her previous anger masking its value. Irony.

She was confused. His explanation clear. Accepted. However, why he came back was not as transparent.

The sound of sirens broke her thought, her gaze upon the floor disturbed. It was only now she realised she was on her own. Darkness had engulfed her. Hospital lights glistening in the distance.

She suddenly felt vulnerable. One thing Eddi Mckee wasn't used to. She craved comfort and felt guilt. Having just walked away leaving Luc at his worst. She could only call herself a hypocryte.

A shiver overtook her body. A harsh wind picking up she tightened her jacket around herself, folding her arms.

As if all the answers were on the floor, her daydreaming eyes fell once more in this direction. These wandering eyes unbeknown to Lucs silent approach.

Pausing before his last few steps, his mind, not a clue what to think or say. She looked up. The concrete floor that understood her so well, replaced by a pair of shoes. Him.

"Why did you come back, Luc?" She spoke calmly, concentration now focused on her toying thumbs.

She felt him move to sit by her side. She was grateful. His body blocking hers from the gusts of ice cold air. She felt safe, protected in his presence. Deep down she hoped he'd always be there to stop bad things getting to her.

"I thought I could do it. I could let you go. Let you be happy without me bringing you down. But you.." A grin overtook his face. "...You Eddi, are just like no one I've ever met"

His words were now better than what the floor had to offer and she caught his eyes.

"Go on.." she muttered enjoying the moment. Him to spill his heart. A laugh escaped him.

"You're independent, you're strong. ..you don't care what people think of you. You're so happy with yourself, certain about your life and what you're doing, where you're going. Nothing phases you...you're everything I've wanted to be. Everything im not."

He didn't let her interrupt this time.

"Its like you complete my story..all those things im not, its ok, because you are" he sighed at his own complicated way of explaining things.

Luckily for him, she knew exactly what he meant. However, it wasn't going to be easy.

"Luc, as much as I want us now to..to be together, continue where we left off, I don't think I can." He felt his heart sink as she sheepishly looked away and befriended the floor once more.

"All those things you just said about me. Wished you were. I shouldn't have to give that too you..All those things, I need you to give back to me..else what do we do when I get lost?"

He was stumped. Lost for words. Her wisdom silencing him to thought.

"You need to know what you want and where you want to go, Learn trust yourself and stop running...How can I trust you if you don't?"

"I know" She was spot on. A signal to him that she was special. The one.

"Lets go back in, talk some more, its freezing out here..." He cleared this throat as he looked around. The trees making odd shapes in the darkness, bushes rustling with no explanation.

"..I never did like the dark" he continued, trying to lighten the mood.

She chuckled at him. She really had missed his humour. Not that she was giving in that easily. Sitting back she scuffed her feet along the ground.

"No ones scared of the dark Luc..." she replied shaking her head.

"Of course they are...lots of people are" he was confused.

Turning to look at him, staring him in the eye, she continued.

"No...Its the things they cant see they're afraid of" She spoke slowely and clearly, hoping he'd understand she wasn't just talking about the dark anymore.

Once again he admired her strength. She told him how it was. No sugar coating. He watch in awe as she got up and walked away homeward bound. She was a girl of her word. She walked away.

Please review! Next chapter soon! :D
