A new face after the race Chapter 4
Luv2rite, you are right! Congratulations for figuring it out! applause
Anyway, to the story...
"And Monday was..." Lucky said as he waited for an answer with a motion of his left hand.
"Our anniversary." Emily stated and watched Lucky's jaw drop. Yeah, serves him right. Emily thought.
Lucky stared at her in shock. Monday was in their anniversary? Since when? Since you first started dating you idiot! Lucky thought. It made sense. Emily would have been mad that he canceled the date, but the fact that he canceled their date on Monday, their anniversary, she would have been more than mad. So the question was what to do to make it alright between them. The first step was an apology; he knew that, along with guilt that he was already feeling.
"Oh, Em." Lucky said and sat on the bed heavily, all anger or other emotion gone. All was present was heavy guilt. How could he forget their anniversary? Did their relationship mean nothing to him? "I'm so sorry. I didn't think, I didn't know." Lucky confessed.
"I figured as much a few minutes ago." Emily said, emotionless. She was so tired of being angry. She was so tired of them not talking. She missed him, and a part of her said to forgive him, but a part of her said not to. That'd he only mess up again. But the truth is that she loved him. She hated to lose him. Everything would be lost. She couldn't survive without Lucky. He was her rock.
The silence between them was tense. Both were reveling in emotions of guilt, indecision, and love.
Lucky broke the silence as he asked the question that was bothering him, and probably her. "So where does that leave us?"
Emily thought about it for a second and hesitantly told him her thoughts. "I don't know. I don't want to lose you. I want to just forgive you and put it behind us, but I just don't want to go through this again. I can't live with the thought that you would pull something like this again. It hurts too much."
Lucky listened and hesitated to say something. It had to be the right thing. Emily just said there was still hope. If he could only turn her mind to the forgiveness thought, he could have saved their relationship. He just had to assure her he will never pull this kind of thing again. But how? With words of course.
"You have no idea how sorry I am Em. If I knew and remembered we would never be having this argument. And that is my entire fault. I don't know what to say other than that. I could promise never to forget again, but then there's a chance I'd break it, and I'd hate you cause you pain again." Lucky revealed, mellowing in guilt.
"That's the risk you have to take when being in a relationship. We knew that when we first started dating. We were just too young to think it would hurt this much years later." Emily said and Lucky felt a little comfort from her words. She was right. Getting hurt was a risk they took when they started dating.
"Yeah, but it doesn't help the situation any. So here we are in the middle of breaking up and reconciling and now we're just realizing how oblivious we were at sixteen." Lucky observed. He knew he wasn't a genius at the age, but two/three years difference?
"It's ironic, isn't it?" Emily asked as she walked to the bed and sat down next to Lucky on it and let Lucky wrap his arms around her. She laid her head near his shoulder and gave a deep sigh.
"Yeah, it is. But you know what?" Lucky asked as he felt some tension leave him as he gathered Emily in his arms. It was almost all gone as Emily laid her head on his torso. He stopped for a second and appreciated the feel of Emily against him again. He had missed her and her touch so much it was unbelievable.
"What?" Emily asked sleepily, but not because she was tired, because she was tired of fighting. It did no good. It just tortured them so that they couldn't sleep or eat.
"The love is still there. And I have a feeling it's stronger than ever." Lucky said and felt Emily's mouth turn into a smile. He loved her smile and everything about her. She was his whole world, which was why he was working a lot. He had a special gift he wanted to give her. The problem was it wasn't cheap.
"I know. I can feel it. It saved us once again." Emily said and a small laugh. She couldn't break up with Lucky; it would just drive her into madness.
Lucky smiled as he realized what she meant. They weren't going to break up. It's true that love reigns over all. He didn't know what to say so he just told her how he felt. "I love you Em."
"I love you too." Emily murmured as she fell asleep in his arms. Lucky's eyes started to droop as he heard her. He should call his parents to tell them he was staying here tonight, but couldn't. All that was important at the moment was the woman lying in his arms. Lucky looked down at her once and studied her. She looked like an angel. Her hair was crossed at the oddest angles, her eyes closed, and the lips slightly open, as air traveled through them. That was the last thought as he fell asleep himself.
Author's note: its short I know, but I couldn't add anything. It just seemed so perfect with just the luckily segment. Anyway, that's just my thoughts. Thanks for the reviews and as I said last chapter, the special mention was in the beginning. Please continue reviewing. And someone mentioned updating it could take years to find you, I'm going to try. It's hard to write with all the crap that is happening between Nem these days. But I am going to try, I promise.
