So I was listening to two songs during this time. Le Tango De Roxanne in Moulin Rouge and How To Save a Life by The Fray. I suggest you guys, if you really want to cry, listen to How To Save A Life while reading Legolas' part with Susan. It did for me while I was typing. So enjoy! Please leave a review!


You're such an arse Caspian. He thought as he walked along the sand, listening to the waves crash to the rocks. Making you believe that she loves you only to break you and throw you away like a useless thing. Caspian thought that he was forever broken and can never be fixed. What he didn't know is that he'll be fixed in no time.


Why does my heart cry?

Feelings I can't fight!

Those lyrics echoed through Alliah's head, over and over again.

You're free to leave me

Just don't deceive me

And believe me when I say

I love you

Alliah walked along the sandy shore, reflecting. She just wanted to go home but then... What's there to return for? She has no boyfriend, she has suckish grades, her parents are gone and she has no chance in an acting career. In fact, she's no one. The world is better off with out- ah!

Alliah tripped onto something. Maybe it was a rock but then, she should feel pain now.

"Oh, I am so sorry my lady. I-" Alliah looked up and mahogany brown eyes clashed with hers.


Who is she? What's her name? Did I hurt her? A million questions flooded through his mind once his eyes locked with this beautiful maiden in front of him. He got to his senses, stood up and held his hand to the maiden.

"I'm sorry my lady, I was in deep thoughts. I-" He stammered but was caught off by the girl.

"It's alright. So was I." She said while taking his hand and he studied the details of her hand. Smooth and elegant. Just how it should be.

"Are you hurt?" So badly Alliah wanted to say yes but then, she just can't go pouring out her life to a total stranger.

"Um... No. I'm alright." She said, trying her best to smile, hoping she can get pass by this total stranger. But nothing passes by Caspian. Not this time.

"You seem sad my lady-"

"Please, stop it with the "lady". Call me Alliah."

"Alliah." He said with a wide smile. "My name's Caspian." He said as he kissed Alliah's hand tenderly. His soft lips brushing her knuckles and it felt cold when it left. She never blushed so hard in her life. Caspian... where did I hear that name. Isn't he Susan's boyfriend?! She slowly pulled out her hand from his and they stood there in awkward silence for a while until Alliah broke it.

"So... you're the uh, lover of Susan?" She asked. She was heartbroken for a moment but then reminded herself that he's just a guy that she met. Nothing more.

"Used to be... " Then, a spark of hope lit up on Alliah's chest. Suddenly, she felt different to this man. She felt that she had a chance on him.

"What happened?" She asked. The both of them sat on where they were siting, looking unto the horizon while telling their story.


Susan did nothing in his room but cry on his shoulder and pour her heart out. She didn't know who else to go to and Legolas was her best comfort.

"I just don't understand how he became so heartless. I thought he'd understand. Why am I even talking to you anyways?! You don't k.

now how it feels! You never loved and got your heart broken by a girl before!" She stood up and prepared to leave when Legolas' voice stopped her.

"I have." He said in a soft voice.

"Well... besides me."

"No. Not by you." Susan looked at him in disbelief but he just sat there at the edge of his bed with his head down. "Her name was Aranel." He said, a sad smile forming on his lips and Susan sat down beside him. "I joined a fellowship that will journey across Middle Earth to help destroy the One Ring, the bringer of all evil. Aranel and I... we were about to be wedded when the both of us joined. I warned her about the dangers, the possibilities of getting killed but she wanted to protect me. I vowed to her that I will protect with all my life and she was happy. Until the great war came... we were winning when she got hit by an orc blade which caused her blood poisoning. We won the war but..." Susan looked at him and his lips were trembling and his eyes were about to release tears. " When we we reached the healers, it was too late to save her." He said and a tear fell down his smooth cheek. "To make it worse, we fought the day before. I insisted her to stay back from the fight but she was too stubborn. So I left her without an apology. We were just waiting for her to die. I held her hand and afraid of course. It killed me, to see her like that. She was weak and crying and accepting death while holding my hand, wanting it to be that last thing she feels before she dies. I apologized for everything and she accepted it. So I held her while she said her last words to me: Find another girl and move on for me... I love you." After that, the room was dead silent. No one dared to speak after what Legolas said.

"What was she like?"

"Aranel?" Legolas asked and Susan nodded. "She was like you. She even looked like you in a way."

"Do you miss her?"

"Yes. Very much." Susan hugged him and buried her face on his shoulder as he placed an arm around her. After a comforting silence, Susan looked up at him.

"Do you believe in afterlife?"

"Not really. No."

"Do you believe that somehow, I'm Aranel?"

"I told myself that after the moment I first laid my eyes on you but I thought that was folly and childish."

"Do you love her and want her back?"

"Yes."

"Then she's yours." For a moment, Legolas looked confused but the moment soft lips touched his, he completely understood. She loved him and she wanted him so she kissed him and this time, Susan didn't back out.
