The Lumineers – Slow it down

Allison's POV:

Fear spiked through the both of us along with that feeling of falling to your death. The yellow oxygen masks dropped for our safety. Isaac's yellow eyes gazed into mine intensely as he held onto me with his strong, protective arms. "What about Lydia? What about Stiles?" I tried to go over to them, but wasn't able to budge.

Isaac gave me a look. "You're not going over there. Stiles can take care of Lydia."

"She's my best friend. I can't not help her."

"You'd die yourself trying to go over there. Besides he'd die for her."

He was right, but I still wanted to reach out to my best friend. "Lydia!" I screamed, hoping she would hear me, but she was already staring at me with panicked eyes. "I love you, too."

She gave a sad smile, knowing that we weren't going to make it if the plane crashed. "I love you, too."

Tears pricked at my eyes. I didn't want to die. I didn't want Isaac to die not knowing his real parents, not knowing if he could be happy. If it came down to it I would gladly die for any of my friends' safety.

Isaac pulled me back to him. "You know that I love you right?"

"Don't say it like we're about to die." I pleaded, clutching to him. "Say it like you mean it."

He clutched my face. "You have no idea how much I'm in love with you." He rushed it out due to our timely turmoil. "I've been in love with you ever since I saw you the first day of school. Yeah, it was kind of a downer when you stabbed me, took away some of my self-confidence."

I laughed. "I did it to protect you. Maybe the whole time I've been in love with you, I'm not sure, but I know that I'm in love with you right now." My hand caressed his cheek. "I love you. And if I die, move on. Promise me."

"Move on? Allison, you're not going to die, I'm not-"

"Promise me!" I screamed.

His eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

There was a loud crack and tear as the plane broke into two halves, the heavy winds forced us in awkward positions, but Isaac still held onto me. Our hair and clothes blowing everywhere. "You have to because I couldn't live with myself if I stood in the way of your happiness."

We crouched down between the seats. "Don't you get it? You are my happiness, I don't want anyone else." He screamed to be heard over the ruckus.

"I'll come back and kill you myself."

His eyes burned bright. "You're not dying."

Stiles' POV:

If I was going to die, I had better be dying with Lydia Martins lips on mine, and she had better be liking it.

Our eyes locked as my heart pounded out of my chest. "Lydia…I-" Next thing I know her lips are crashing down on mine. Not like how it was before, more of we're about to die so let me give Stiles his last wish. And a damn good wish it was.

The plane broke in half, and large gusts of wind blew us around. Lydia clung to me literally as her life depended on it, and I guess it's did. "Allison!" She tried to scream, but a whisper barely came out.

We strained to look over at Allison who Isaac was yanking back down. "Lydia!" She screamed, but Lydia was always looking at her with panicked eyes. "I love you!"

She gave a sad smile, knowing that we weren't going to make it if the plane crashed. "I love you, too."

Isaac and I made eye contact, an understanding passed through us if that we would die protecting either one of the girls.

I looked back at Lydia. "Lydia, I lo-"

"Don't say it because we're going to die!"

I could barely see out of the window, and looking out of the gaping whole behind us was out of the question. I should be having a panic attack right now, worrying about my dad and Scott, but I wasn't worrying about myself. Only Lydia.

"Lydia, you just need to know-"

"Stiles, I swear to God-"

"Lydia Martin, for once in your life just listen, and let me tell you that I'm completely in love with you." My hand caressed her face.

Her eyes widened as she stilled. "Stiles, we're about to fucking crash into God only God knows what, how am I supposed to believe you right now?" She screamed, obviously not believing me.

"Because there hasn't been a day in my life that I can remember that I haven't been in love with you!"

The impact of us landing knocked the life out of me, I began to slowly let go as I slipped into the darkness.
