Dereks POV
I couldnt open my eyes. As much as i wanted to, I cant. I had to get to her. The only woman on my mind lately. Penelope. I couldnt leave her. There was a bright light and then i heard a voice. It was calling my name. I tried to find it but the light was blinding. I started to scream as I jolted awake.
"Hey you." A voice said from next to me.
I looked over. Savannah. I was disappointed, Penelope wasnt there.
"Youre finally awake." She said with a smile. i gave her a forced smile back.
"I missed you. I was afraid you werent gonna wake up."
I stayed quiet. Lost in my own thoughts as I was thinking of how I could break it to her. The fact that I couldnt be with her anymore.
After these last few days of being tortured at the cabin. Almost dying. I realized one thing. I wanted her. Penelope.
She was my everything. My god given solace. There wasnt a moment she wasnt on my mind.
"Ill go tell everyone that youre finally awake." Savannah said as she stood up.
"Wait." I said
"What is it?" She asked.
"We need to talk." I told her as she sat back down.
"About what?"
"Savannah. I-I cant... I cant be with you anymore." I let out.
"Wh-what?" She asked with tears coming to her eyes.
"I-im sorry but when i was in that place. I could only think of coming back to one person and that person... wasnt you." I told her.
"Is-is it her?" He said through gritted teeth.
"Who?" I asked with a furrowed brow.
"Her. Penelope." He said with hatred.
"I-"
"Derek. Tell me the truth."
"Yes. Its Penelope." I responded.
"Of course. Its always penelope." She said with anger.
"Savannah. Dont start." I warned her.
"I cant believe this."
"I think you need to leave." I told her.
"I think thats the best option." She said gathering her belongings.
I heard someone at the door and turned my head. My eyes widened. Penelope.
"Hey. Youre awake." She said.
Savannah huffed as she walked out.
"What was that about?" Pen asked.
"Come here. Sit. We need to talk." I told her.
"About what?" She asked.
"Penelope... Ive been wanting to tell you something for a long time. Ive- Ive been in love with you ever since i met you. Youre always on my mind. I think about you all the time. What happened made me realize that I couldnt live with out you and that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to marry you one day and I want you to be the mother of my children." I told her.
"D-Derek. I dont know what to say." She replied with tears running down her face.
"Just tell me that youll be with me. Please." I replied.
"Y-yes. Ill be with you." She said wiping jer tears.
"I love you so much baby girl." I said kissing her hands
"I love you too." Penelope said with a smile.
