Chapter
8- Frodo and Sandys Sharing of Feelings
Frodo and Sandy could
not believe their eyes, they were speechless as they looked at the
beautiful waterfall, it was like they were dreaming, only it wasnt a
dream, but real. "It's beautiful Elrond, how did you know of
this part of the land? Not even I knew about this waterfall and I
have been here longer" Sandy asked. "I heard some Elves
talking about it earlier, I thought it would be a great place to go
explore, because of the positive things said about it" Elrond
said. "Its beautiful, as beautiful as you are Sandy" Frodo
said smiling at Sandy. "Awww Frodo, that is so sweet of you"
Sandy said blushing. Elrond smiled, he knew Frodo was going to tell
Sandy how he felt soon, he could read it in Frodo's mind and he knew
in order for Frodo to confess his feelings to her, he was to leave
them alone with one another. "I am going to look over here for a
little bit, will you guys be alright?" Elrond asked. "We
will be fine Elrond, we are going to look around the waterfall a bit"
Sandy said. "Yeah, we will be fine" Frodo said smiling.
Frodo felt it in his heart, this was the moment hes been waiting for,
alone time with Sandy and somewhere perfect to pour his heart out to
her, he was excited, nervous, anxious, and worried that Sandy did not
feel the same way, although she has been flirting alot lately. Elrond
smiled at Frodo and winked and mouthed the words "Good luck",
Frodo mouthed back "thank you", Frodo knew that Elrond knew
what he was about to do, and appreciated that he was leaving them
alone so he could do it. "Isn't it just lovely Frodo? I have
never been here before and it just seems all a dream, a place I never
thought would look so beautiful, makes me think sometimes that this
was really my 1st home, instead of Middle Earth" Sandy said
holding unto Frodo's hand tight and holding the rose in her other
hand. "I know exactly what you mean Sandy, when I came here, I
was in awe of what a beautiful place this was, coming to this
waterfall goes to show how beautiful the world can be, and I do feel
peaceful here, with Gandalf, Elrond, Bilbo, and Galadrial,
and....especially you" Frodo said smiling as his heart raced.
"Awww Frodo, I..I..feel the same exact way, you make me happy,
when im with you, im happy, your a wonderful person" Sandy said
blushing.
Frodo and Sandy walked beside the waterfall letting
the cold spring water fall on their heads, where they spotted a rock
inside the waterfall for them to sit on, Frodo leads her to the rock
and she sits down, Frodo sits beside her, very close.
Frodo
took a deep breathe, this was the moment, here they were half way
pouring their hearts out to one another in the beautiful waterfall,
Frodo comes up with the courage to spill his heart out, he takes
another deep breathe and begins to speak "Sandy, I can't take it
anymore, my heart needs to speak, I have held in these emotions from
the day that I met you until now, and im aching you tell you, that I
am madly in love with you, I think about you day and night and even
think of you in my dreams, your beautiful, the most beautiful hobbit
girl I have ever met in my entire life, and I have been trying to get
out these emotions tons of times, but the butterflies in my stomach
will not allow me to do so, I thought and thought of a perfect time
to tell you, and this was a perfect time, while we were in a perfect
place, I want to tell you Sandy that...I love you, and I know maybe
that you dont feel the same way about me, but it has killed me to
tell you this, and now I am telling you, you are as beautiful as this
rose" Frodo said touching the rose Sandy had in her hand. He
felt so much better after getting out what he needed to get out for a
long time, now he was preparing himself for what Sandy had to say.
"Frodo..." Sandy said lightly touching Frodo's cheek. "I
want to tell you, that I so have been battling these emotions about
you, I am crazy about you, when I met you, I couldn't help but fall
for you, you make me laugh, you make me giggle, you make me feel good
inside and I feel so happy around you, when you hold my hand, I never
want to let go, your a very very cute hobbit, and its amazing of what
we have in common, and I think all the time that there was a reason
for us meeting, that we are soulmates, lost soulmates who have found
one another, you know? And I too, think about you day and night and
in my dreams, and...I think we should be together, Frodo...this may
sound cheesy, but....I love you" Sandy said stroking Frodos face
and she sighed, glad that she too had gotten her emotions out.
Frodo smiled and grabbed her hand and kissed it and spoke
"You have no idea how good it feels that you feel the same way
about me and how good it feels to finally pour out my heart to you."
"You?? My stomach was aching this whole time, I was nervous to
think that maybe you did not feel the same way, but I am so glad you
do, and I too am glad to pour my heart out, I was hoping that you
would be the one to speak first about your feelings" Sandy said
giggling. "Well its great that we both feel the same way about
one another, and which by the way, I am sure my stomach was aching
more than yours!" Frodo said laughing. "I am glad too, and
no way was your stomach hurting more than mine" Sandy said
giggling and she lightly pushed Frodo. "Ohhh so you wanna fight
now eh?" Frodo said laughing hysterically. "You started
it!" Sandy said giggling. "How did sharing feelings to one
another come to a game of fighting?" Frodo asked. "Because
you started it!" Sandy said. "I did not!!" Frodo said
tackling Sandy, sending them both into the water. "Oh now look
what you did Frodo, now we are both soak and wet!" Sandy said.
"Oh come on, its just a bit of water, besides its spring, you
have to admit the water feels wonderful" Frodo said splashing
Sandy. "Yes its spring, but its not that warm to be swimming in
cold water in a waterfall and the water is freezing" Sandy said
shivering.
"Here, let me keep you warm" Frodo said
putting his arms around Sandy. "Aww well thank you Frodo, but
sucking up after tackling me into the water isnt going to get you
anywhere" Sandy said giggling a little bit. "Oh well, in
that case then..." Frodo said picking up Sandy and holding her
in the air. "Let me down Frodo! Frodo! Let me down! Oh I am
going to hurt you, let me down!" Sandy said squirming trying to
get down. "Ha ha, Okay then" Frodo said dropping Sandy into
the water. Frodo got a big giggle out of it and couldnt stop laughing
as Sandy came up out of the water, she tackled him. "I am going
to get you now Frodo, that was sooo wrong!" Sandy said laughing.
Suddenly Frodo and Sandy both stopped, as if time just stopped them,
they had their arms around eachother and was gazing in eachothers
eyes, not even a flash of lightning could break their gaze, Frodo's
heart was racing as he leaned in and kissed Sandy, and to his suprise
found Sandy kissing him back, the two shared their first wonderful
kiss in the water under the Lathuor Waterfalls. Frodo and Sandy
stopped kissing and looked at eachother, Frodo was the first to
speak, "Did..we..just kiss?" Frodo asked. "yes, and it
was incredible and perfect" Sandy said. Sandy started kissing
Frodo again, not letting him speak, she could not help it, she wanted
to kiss him forever, Elrond looked over from a nearby edge of the
waterfall smiling from ear to ear, he knew they were meant to be
together, and he knew Frodo was going to be happy with her.
All
of a sudden Frodo pulled back and winced, grabbing unto his shoulder
again, this time the pain was much worse and he started to not feel
like himself. "Frodo? frodo whats the matter?" Sandy asked
very concerned. "the wound! the wound! And..and.." Frodo
said having a hard time speaking. "I am not feeling like myself,
everything is starting to go black" Frodo said holding unto his
shoulder tight. Everything WAS going black in Frodo's eyes, and his
face turned pale, he was afraid that something was the matter but
could not think of what it could be, suddenly he fainted into Sandys
arms. "FRODO!!! FRODO! Oh my god, wake up! FRODO!" Sandy
screamed. Sandy's screaming startled Elrond as he looked back over to
them, he had seen Frodo laying helpless in Sandys arms and Sandy was
crying, shaking him, trying to wake him up. "Oh god Frodo,
please wake up!" Sandy said crying shaking him. It was no use,
he was not waking up, Sandy grew scared that something serious was
wrong with him, tears filled her eyes as she kept shaking him with
him giving no response. "ELROND!!!" Sandy screamed. Elrond
came running down the hill and got to Frodo and Sandy, as soon as he
saw Frodo, he grew worried for this is what he and gandalf were
afraid of for so long.
