I pause for a moment taking in what Marshall had just said " your joking" I sit up, he crawls off me " why would I joke about this?" He asks, he was being dead serious. " I- I don't know" I stutter, "I killed you a few weeks ago..." I can't understand why he would want to move this quickly, he's still healing after all. " shit happens" he shrugs " shit like that doesn't just happen Marshall" I started to get worried " if you don't want to be with me you can just say no" he moves away from me, he starts to look worried " I never said that I wanted to say no, I never thought you would think of me like this" I try to regain my thoughts He sighs " I know it's a bit to take in, and a lot has happened, so I'll give you time to think about it" he got off the bed and walks out my bedroom door. " think about it?" He didn't even give me time to say anything after that
" Marshall! Wait!" I call out, leaping off the bed and running to my door, I open it and fly down the stairs, Goldie looks at me " he's gone" she sips at her coffee " he didn't let me finish" I frown, Goldie puts her coffee down and stands up, " I think we need to talk" she walks over to me "Marshall seems to have grown to love you" she puts a hand on my shoulder, " what?" I think I heard her wrong " Marshall lee loves you" she leads me over to a chair, I sit down with my head in my hands, my long hair drapes down, hiding my face. " after all that has happened..." I ponder on, " that's not what I'm worried about" goldie takes one of my hands, I look up at her " as you age and deteriorate, he stays the same." " I don't understand what your saying..." I shake my head a little "He could love you for eternity, but you would only last a minute in his lifetime." My eyes widen, " he remembers me from a hundred years ago" I try to convince myself she's wrong "That was seventeen years ago for you, and only a second for him" she kept saying the same thing " you don't know anything" I stand up, pushing the chair back, I refuse to come to terms with this " Marshall doesn't- he can't love me!" I shout "he's a heartless demon" I shake my head " he doesn't need me" I felt my throat burn and my eyes water, " he doesn't need me" I whisper, repeating my last words as I fly out the house, into the woods, now lit with fresh sunlight. " I've hurt him" I crawl up under a tree " he can't do this to me" I let the tears fall, I can't hold it back anymore.
