Chapter 10: heart to heart

On the balcony

Floras Pov

I was stood on the balcony looking out over Mieles future kingdom, I was meant to rule Lynthea next but because of the curse I cant do that anymore. 'Miele will be a great ruler' I thought then shivered as the cool breeze touched my bare arms making my cut sting. I was too busy looking at the view to notice Helia was standing behind me, I suddenly felt something on my shoulders, it was my warm cosy blanket I looked confusingly at my shoulders then turned to the side to see Helia smiling at me but then we he saw I was looking his smile faded.

'Why does he care if I am cold? He doesn't care about me' I thought as I made a sideways glance towards him. I could tell he wanted to say something but he didn't as his face made a frustrated face. 'He's so cute when he pulls that face, wait stop Flora bad thoughts' I was interrupted when he cleared his throat to speak.

"Flora why do you think I don't care about you? Why did you leave?" he questioned moving to sit on one of the balcony chairs, I did the same and answered "you said you wished you never met me that's why I think you don't care, and I left because I cant stand to be around people that I love and thought were my best friends when they were only pretending to be." I sighed as I started to feel weak from the talking; the most I had talked in a couple of days. I started to breathe heavily, Helia must have noticed as he have a worried and concern expression on his face. "Flora I can see your struggling and weak so I will talk so you listen please" I nodded my head weakly, getting more comfortable in the chair with my blanket.

"I didn't mean any of those things I said to you, neither did anyone else. We were just hurt that you didn't tell us, we no you didn't want to burden us but I was your boyfriend" he looked pained when he said the word 'was'. "I love you Flora my flower, I would do anything for you, I would switch places with you with the curse if I could" I shook my head violently; the thought of Helia not being around was unimaginable. "I would die for you Flora, you are my life, my everything. Please forgive me and the rest." He got down on both knees and started to beg and plead, giving me the puppy dogs eyes he knew I couldn't resist. I giggled softly, only I had this effect on Helia, making the strong tough pacifist beg and plead. "I should be the one apologising for being so weak and letting this all happen, if I was stronger and more like Bloom or any other winx I could have defeated the Trix". I started to sob into my hands, I could hear the sound of shuffling and then I felt arms wrap around me and hug me tightly then kiss me on the forehead, I knew it was Helia trying to comfort me.

"Helia please forgive me but I love you too much to put you through all this, you need to be with someone prettier and stronger, someone that wouldn't easily get kidnapped or hurt" I said was avoided meeting his midnight blue eyes, because if jade and blue locked together I would never be able to control myself from kissing him. 'But you cant Flora' I thought sadly. Helia lifted my chin up with two fingers so I couldn't look anywhere but directly at him.

"Flora Lynthea listen to me, I love you too much to not have you in my life, you are not pretty you are beautiful, you are strong when you believe in yourself and you are the only girl for me. My life isn't whole without you Flora." I kept silent as be asked "my flower will you please be my girlfriend again?" I didn't know what to say I wanted to but I don't want him to have to watch me die but I love him soooo much, everyday that passes makes me die quicker without him. I took a deep breath, "Helia I love you too much to say no but I don't want to leave you or anyone, I'm so scared of dying".

Tears flowed down my cheeks, but Helia brushed them away with his thumbs as he cupped my face, "flower was that a yes?" I nodded then he captured my lips in his as he gave me a passionate kiss. "I'm here don't be scared we will find a cure I promise". They shared another passion and love filled kiss then went back inside to pack Floras things to go back to Alfea.

After all their goodbyes Flora, Helia, the winx and the specialists went to the ship and took off towards Alfea.
