I followed him outside, he was halfway down the stairs when I called out for him. "Godric, wait!" He seemed to reluctantly stop.
"What is it Clara? I have work to do."
"I'm sorry. Please... don't leave. I'm an idiot but I don't mean to hurt you." I was pathetically starting to panic and I was not even sure why and was completely against the tough girl facade. It wasn't like he didn't know that was basically all a lie...
"I can not sit there and listen to your rejection. It is clear you have made up your mind. I have work to do." He repeated the last sentence his voiced laced in ice.
"I.."
"No more Clara. Have a nice night." He dismissed me and started walking away again. I watched him go.
Watched him get further and further away from me.
I felt like I was going to cry.
"I'm scared!" I yelled, and just like that the wall seemed to break. "I'm scared of falling for you, scared of ending up like my psychotic mother... I like you, well on my way to being in love with you. Please don't leave..." My vision was blocked by tears I did not want to let fall. I wiped them away and bolted forward, what I didn't take into consideration is that I was at the top of the staircase... I didn't even have time to scream before I plummeted. I felt strong arms wrap around me before I heard his chuckle and my eyes flashed open.
"Never had someone fall for me before." I knew he was referring to the not so graceful plummet I just took.
"Oh shut up..." I mumbled hiding my face against his neck so he couldn't see me blushing. "Thanks for catching me."
"Feel free to fall for me anytime."
"The next pun you make... I'm going to hurt you."
Ivy's POV
Oh my god! It's happening! I internally squealed. I looked from the window to Eric grinning like a fool.
"She's threatening to break his dick if he makes another comment about her fall," Eric told Ryan and I as he laughed a bit.
"I just can't believe she actually told him. I thought it was going to take months!" Ryan declared laughing his ass off. "and of course she had to go ahead a fall for him... literally!" I didn't DARE tell Ryan that Clara walked back into the apartment with Godric. I waited for him to dig his own grave. "How long do you think it's going to take before she actually stops being a prude and kisses him?"
"How about when I damn well feel like it," Clara told him as a book hit the side of his head. "My life is not a damn movie for you fuckers to enjoy me stumble through!" Oh... she's mad. I watched Godric wrap his arms around her waist and rest his chin on her shoulder.
"Best not to kill your friends." She didn't seem to understand that he was talking at first, a red blush spreading over her cheeks. "...He would deserve it."
"You would miss him." He had her there and we all knew it when she crossed her arms and looked at the wall, she was unconsciously leaning back into Godric's chest. I had an idea of what her inner monologue was and I'm hoping she slips and says something out loud.
"In all seriousness," Ryan started as he avoided Clara's gaze when she looked at him glaring. "I'm happy for you and I feel bad for Godric, he's gotta deal with your issues."
"He doesn't seem to mind that so much considering he kept pushing his way into my life." She sighed.
"Do you regret it?" He dared to ask. If he hadn't I was going to.
"...No... I just don't see how anything will work with me. Eventually, he'll do something and I'll run..."
"You know, you're stronger then you give yourself credit for Clar." He grinned. "Just because your mom is a Syco doesn't mean you will be. Your not your mom, your Clara. The girl who stepped in the way of the jackasses in elementary school and shielded me."
"I still wonder why I did that..."
"No you don't, I'm annoying and I admit it but you don't regret helping anyone. As much as you pretend to be a heartless bitch you have more heart than anyone here."
"Seriously... shut up." She snapped at him and got even more annoyed when he started laughing. However, she couldn't hide from me. I saw the look in her eyes that told me his words had affected her, she was touched, but Clara doesn't deal with feelings well so instead she lashed out at him. I glanced over at Eric who seemed to be carefully considering something as he observed Godric and Clara, as he did. I wondered how to tell Clar that Eric and Godric are vampires...
It's that time of year again! I just love Halloween!~
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
