Worlds Apart

Face it

Kylie's POV

The time had come for Legolas to leave.
Haldir asked if I wanted to see him go so he could take me to see him
But we weren't to see each other again.

But I found my self doing the doing the same thing eight years ago.
Holding on to him.
I couldn't let go of Legolas.

I went to look for him, I just hope I wasn't too late.

I wasn't used to walking around LothLorien.
It wasn't that it was very big, I don't even think it was as big as the Amazon rainforest.
But it seemed to go on and on if you didn't know your way because all the trees looked alike.
At least, to me.

If you think that back in the Real world where there are 'Freaks for nature', you should see elves.
They are , how should I put it, nature fanatics?
I don't know really.
Haldir seems to know every single tree here.

Secretly, I think he gives them like nicknames or something.

That's what Legolas used to do.
The tree in my backyard is called 'Grace' and the one in the front is 'Joy'.
The one in his backyard is 'Faith'.

And he told only me about this.
In fact, I think he told me everything.
That's what made him so special.
He never lied to me.

But I lied.

I never told him everything, which made me so undeserving of him.

I never told him how my father had died before I moved to America.
I never told him how much it hurt when my mother remarried and the guy she married wasn't even home half the time.
I never told him how much I loved my real dad.

That I wasn't always happy.
That everyday that I was with him felt like torture because he was so perfect.
And I was afraid he was going to go away one day.

Because I was alone.
And I was scared.

I was so scared that one day I would wake up and he wouldn't there.

But now I pushed him away.
He isn't going to come back now.
He said so himself.

That's why I seek out love in Haldir.
And I did love him.
But it was different when I loved Haldir.
Because somehow in the back of my mind that I knew Haldir was a very normal person for his culture.
I knew that Haldir always followed the rules, the tradition.
That was what made me feel uncomfortable around him.

When I was with Legolas, I didn't care.
We were both strange.
We were both wrong.
But we were so right for each other.

And when Legolas decided that he couldn't marry me, I saw that he had changed.
He became a normal person in his own race.
He abided by the rules.
He became a real person.

The old Legolas was just a figment of my imagination.

Yet, when I saw him again.
I heard his voice, touch his face, saw him smile.
I knew that no matter what he became, I would always love him because...

We were formed in two different worlds, in two different time zones and dimensions.

Strung together by fate.

Our lonely spirits were bound together by a love that was so powerful that even worlds couldn't separate us.

That was what made Legolas different from Haldir.
Haldir could love me on the outside.
Haldir could kiss me on the outside.

Legolas could kiss me on the inside.
He could love me on the inside.
And his love was stronger than Haldir's.

So much more.

And I needed to let him know.
That my love had been taken.
Not by Haldir.

But by him.



Legolas' POV

As I pushed the boat off the shore, I glanced back once or twice, wondering if I would ever see Kylie again.
I never thought we would ever stop loving each other.
And it pained me to think about it.

I don't know if we were made for each other.
But I don't care.

I would love her even if I wasn't supposed to.

But now...

She just doesn't love me anymore.



Kylie's POV

I stared at the Legolas' boat pushing off the shore from afar.
I was too late.

"I'm sorry!" I cried.

"I'm so sorry!"

"I'm sorry I lied. I'm sorry for everything."

But he couldn't hear me. No matter how loud I called after him or how much I told him I was sorry.

I was too late.
What if I never see him again?

I ran along side the banks of the river but the currents were getting faster and faster and soon he was out of my sight.

I just stopped running and fell down on my knees.

All my memories came flooding back to me.

Of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer night air
secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
The most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
He got me almost melting away As we lay there...
Under a blue sky with pure white stars... Exotic sweetness... a magical time...

'I love you.'

'Don't leave.'

He's gone.

'Come home.'

He's never coming back.

'I just called to say I want you'

We'll never see each other again.

'I just called to say I love you'

He'll just forget about you over time.

'Come back home.'


Gambit: Wow... that totally wore me out... a whole half hour of staring at the computer trying to feel as miserable as I could.
But I thought it was okay...

Thanks for all the reviews!

Dedicated to Athena.. I'm sorry I was mad at you.
