Author's Note: The last piece of the drabble series centering on Gwen's betrayal. I hope everyone likes it! I hope no one thinks this is out of character for Arthur, but please keep in mind that the love of his life just betrayed him in one of the worst possible ways. He's entitled to be emotional, and possibly thinking irrationally because of how betrayed he's feeling. Also, if there's anyone he would share his feelings with about something like this, then it would be Merlin, since he knows Merlin would never judge him and would just be there for him. Anyway, enjoy! Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has been reviewing and alerting this story and putting it on their favorites!
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.
Chapter 13: Never Alone (part 5 of 5)
"Months. They were betraying me for months."
Merlin looked at Arthur sorrowfully, deeply sympathizing with his distraught friend.
"If Lancelot can betray me, if Gwen can, then who will be next?"
Merlin would have interrupted, but he could see that Arthur still had things that needed to be said.
"Gwen betrayed me. I'm alone."
Arthur broke down, releasing his previously pent up tears, and Merlin finally acted. Kneeling down next to his sobbing friend, Merlin put his arm around Arthur's shaking shoulders.
"I will always be here Arthur. You'll never be alone. "
It wasn't alright yet, but it would be.
