Hey guys! I'm back with chapter 5 of forever! I hope you all like this chapter and please review if you did! ^^
I looked around the sweet shop first and saw Eduardo and his friend from the bar! Chill out, maybe he's just saying hi to her…
( EDU POV )
"Lina, what are ya doin' here? Aren't ya supposed to be working now?" I exclaimed in surprise. Lina stammered as she brushed it off as nothing. I had enough of women saying it was nothing when really, they wanted us guys to ask them. So I did. I gently held Lina's hands, looked into her soft, hazel eyes and asked, "Lina, what's wrong?" I wrapped my arms around her, in an attempt to comfort her.
(Back to Elise)
Eduardo! Oh my gosh… How could he… Tears streamed down my rosy cheeks. I could taste the salted water fall into my mouth. I ran up to him and slapped his face so hard that he lost a bit of his balance. Both Eduardo and the girl were shocked. I then ran back to the ship.
I dodged people as I ran. As I sprinted up the ship, there Doc and Nathan was talking. As the three of us made eye contact, in that moment, I could sense that they knew how I was feeling. Nevertheless, I ran back to the room and locked myself in.
I cried even harder than I ever did. I sank to the floor and buried my face in between my knees. I heard Doc knocking at my door, asking what was wrong. I ignored him. I felt myself fall into despair.
Everything that I felt just turned into grief. It was like the entire world stopped making sense. At least, my world…
Hours later, after all the tears that were welled up in my eyes dried up. I finally opened the door. I walked to the helm and sat down next to it. Everything was a lie… All I wanted was to sleep, that way, all my troubles would be gone…
When I awoke, it was already dark. I walked into the dining room. Everyone had already finished their dinner. I saw Nathan sitting there, eating alone. When I knocked at the door, he looked up at me and gestured to me that my dinner was in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the plate. I walked into the dining hall and sat next to Nathan silently. I just couldn't bring myself to say a single word…
I picked at my food, expressionless. I could feel Nathan's gaze on me. I looked up at him and asked what his problem was. He just told me to eat my food. I ate it bite by bite, and with it, trying swallowing down the sadness.
After I finished eating, Nathan had long gone. I washed up my plate and walked back to the deck. I sat at the helm once again. My hand gently brushed over my wrist, where the name 'Eduardo' was tattooed on. Eduardo insisted on doing it for me, as a mark of me being his for life. Of course, it was made secretly when Eduardo helped me with the Sirius crest.
I couldn't help but start tearing again. As the tears dropped on my wrist, my vision blurred. Suddenly, I looked to my left and could make out that Doc was sitting himself down next to me. He gently wiped my tears away. I looked at him, somewhat gratefully. He tried to comfort me but I told him I just wanted to be alone. Doc then pat my head before walking off.
I was feeling tired already but I couldn't bring myself to face Eduardo in the room. So I stayed there. I couldn't sleep at all. The howling winds bit at my skin, making me feel cold, almost freezing.
At the corner of my eye, I saw a tall figure walk out from one of the doors. Nathan. He walked over to me and covered me with a warm blanket. He then sat there and hugged me. I was truly thankful for Nathan for when Eduardo wasn't there for me, Nathan was. Nathan was always there… With his body heat warming me up, that was enough for me to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up with bleary eyes. I looked next to me and saw Nathan lying on my shoulder. He stayed with me the entire night… It was still early so the Sun hadn't risen. I shook Nathan and woke him up.
If not for his usually cold personality, Nathan was really cute waking up in the morning, his ruffled hair and him rubbing his eyes like a little boy. He wished me good morning before heading for the toilet to wash up.
At that moment, Eduardo walked out of the cruising room. I stood up, clutched the blanket in one hand and walked towards Nathan's room. Eduardo grabbed my hand and wished me good morning. I flung my hand away and muttered a soft and unclear good morning under my breath as well.
