The Choice
Chapter 2
After Caspian had left, Susan was riddled with the ultimatum she had just been given. She sat upright for at least an hour when she heard her door open for a second time. Lucy stood in the doorway, staring at her sister not knowing the pain Susan was feeling, but she did know something.
"Why did Caspian some in here earlier?" she asked.
"Just asking an important question about tomorrow's departure," she replied trying to mask the dry sobs in her voice
"Alright, I know what's going on Susan. I heard everything," Lucy replied strangely un-aggravated, "just know that I'm going to come back…..you might not." Instantly Susan knew what she wanted to do.
When Lucy had left she got dressed and looked outside. It was still pitch black so she had time. She quietly got out of her room and started down the hall. The eighth door on the left as she recalled. Susan opened it hesitantly but the light was already on. Caspian sat up in his bed obviously hadn't been sleeping.
"Yes?" he asked fearing the worst. Susan walked up and sat on the bed. She leaned over and whispered three words in his ear.
"I choose you." she whispered and right there he kissed her, so happy that he had won her heart.
