The Bet

Chapter 6: The ending no one wanted

Link got in his car, he needed to go after her, and he knew he would get to her faster if he was in the car, but all the while, he couldn't stop thinking

"Why did I have to do this? Why the hell did I have to go and fall in love with her?"

He scoured the streets with his eyes, looking for her desperately, it was chucking it down with rain, but he didn't care, he kept driving, even though he could barely see where he was going, that's when, through the rain, he saw her figure, she had stopped, she was crying, he could tell.

He parked his car a couple of meter's behind her, she didn't hear him as it was now thundering, he slowly stepped towards her, and put his hand on her shoulder.

Malon nearly jumped out of her skin, she turned around to sharply tell her 'attacker' to piss off, but that's where she froze, her eyes were still red and puffy from the tears, all she could do was look at him, and wait for him to explain

"I don't want to hear this, why cant he just leave it at this? Why does he have to try to explain, he wont be able to talk his way out of this one, I don't even want to look at him... I cant believe... I cant believe I loved... or love... this man"

"Malon..."

Link was talking softly, his hand still on her shoulder, even though she was now facing him, Malon took a few steps back, causing Link to release the grip he had on her shoulder.

"look Malon, Please let me explain, please, it started out as a bet..."

Link fumbled, trying to find the words, a way to tell her, to tell her how he felt

"Don't" Malon stated, the anger evident in her voice, she didn't want to hear it,

"Don't what..." Link asked

"Don't feed me this 'oh it started as a bet' line, you know you could have called the bet off at any time, but you didn't, so don't stand here, and tell me that you actually care for me. Cos I know damn well that you don't! You can't!"

Malon was fuming with anger, she turned to walk away, well stomp away...

"It isn't a line..." Link tried to reason,

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Malon surprised herself with how angry she was, but she couldn't help it, she had been embarrassed, humiliated, and heartbroken. She didn't need to hear it.

Link decided to just leave it, so they both turned in their separate directions, The tears in Link's eyes began to swell as he walked off. He took one last glance round, But Malon had already dissaperaed

There you go. Now all thats left is to review
