Kennedy slowly walked into the kitchen and took a can of coca-cola out of the refrigerator. She wanted to go find Royce,but, she was a little nervous. What would she say to him? She just hopes he will accept her apology, going out with her would be nice too. She looked towards the door as Royce walked in. Once he noticed she was in there he quickly started to fade out of sight,but, stopped when he heard her pleading for him to stay. He looked at her with questioning eyes.
"I thought you wanted me to stay away from you?"
"I was wrong Royce, I'm sorry. I don't want you to stay away from me. I've actually been wanting to talk to you about something."
"What might that be doll?"
"I wanted to tell you that I was wrong to tell you to stay away from me. That's the last thing that I want."
"Um...alright darling, we can spend some time together once in a while."
"I also wanted to say that I lied."
"About what?" He asked, confused.
"I said I didn't love you,but, I lied. I do love you Royce, I love you so much. I was wrong when I said it wouldn't work out, we can make it work. I love you and I wanna be with you."
"No, Kennedy you were right all along. A relationship with me wouldn't be fair to you. You deserve to be with someone alive."
"I don't care about that, it isn't important. I love you and want to be with you. I know you want me too."
"Of course I want to be with you Kennedy,but, it's just not right. I don't want to be the one who takes away your chances of a better life. With someone alive you can get married, have children and grow old together. I can't do any of those things and don't tell me you don't want these things cause I know you do."
"Those things would be nice, to get married and have a family,but, those things aren't important. Those things only make you happy if you're in love. So what if you can't do any of it, atleast I'd be with you."
"I'm sorry Kennedy, I can't do this to you anymore." Royce said sorrowfully before fading out.
"Ugh! Damnit!" Kennedy said, frustrated.
She quickly ran from the kitchen, she wasn't gonna let him go so easily. He just needs her to convince him that this is definitly what she wants. She found him in his cube, sitting on his car with his head in his hands.
"Royce I'm not gonna give up that easily."
"Kennedy why can't you just understand, I'm a ghost, I'm dead and the living don't date the dead."
"I don't give a damn." Kennedy said, sternly. " I want to be with you Royce, are you saying that you don't love me anymore."
"No of course not, you know I love you."
"You have a nice way of showing it." Kennedy said, turning around and walking away.
"Kennedy it's not that simple, I've just been thinking about everything and realized that you were right." Royce said, running after her.
"And you said I was scared,but, who is scared now? We can make this work Royce,but, you're the only one keeping us apart. If you really love me then you'd want to be with me, right?"
Royce just stood there silent with his eyes on the floor. Kennedy sighed and walked away. She reached her room and sat down on the bed. She had been so sure that Royce would forgive her and then they'd be together. Why couldn't he just see that they would be a good thing? Maybe she just wasn't meant to be with him......no that certainly wasn't it. Maybe it was just gonna take some time and more effert to make him realize that he's meant to be with her. No matter what it took she wasn't gonna give up on him, she believes that if she can just be patient he'll come to his senses. She'll be waiting there with open arms when he does. She was suddenly brought out of her thoughts when someone knocked on the door. She opened the door to see Royce standing there with a small smile upon his face.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, surprised.
"I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"For everything and also I wanted to apologize mostly for not answering your question, I was just so confused."
"Um, okay I forgive you."
"The answer to your question doll is yes. I do love you and want to be with you, that is if you still want to be with me."
"Yes I definitly want to be with you, there's nothing I want more."
Royce smiled and pulled Kennedy in for a loving embrace. Royce softly kissed her and this time she wasn't surprised by it or confused, she put all her love and emotion into it. She'd never had a kiss like this before, it was all new to her and she was loving every minute of it. After a bit they had to pull back so Kennedy could breathe. She smiled up at the man she loved and he smiled right back.
"Well I'm getting tired so I think I'm gonna go to bed."
"Oh alright doll I'm getting kind of tired too,but, I'll see you in the morning."
"You can sleep here if you want."
"Oh alright, that would be nice."
They slowly walked over to the bed and laid down. Kennedy laid up against him and he put his arm around her. She fell asleep after a minute and Royce laid there watching her sleep before he finally fell asleep too.
"I thought you wanted me to stay away from you?"
"I was wrong Royce, I'm sorry. I don't want you to stay away from me. I've actually been wanting to talk to you about something."
"What might that be doll?"
