"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight. Just the touch of the fire burning so bright, no I don't wanna mess this thing up, I don't wanna push too far. Just a shot in the dark that you just might, be the one I've been waiting for my whole life. So, baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight. No I don't wanna say goodnight. I know it's time to leave but you'll be in my dreams tonight."

Fabian.
I opened my eyes, hearing Fabian calling my name in the distance. Gone was my white dress, I was now clad in a puffy Cinderella gown, complete with glass slippers and a black choker. I look around, seeing many brick walls creating a path. I walk down the path, then, it split going right and left. I went left and was greeted with a dead end.
I was looking for him in a maze.
Following his constant screaming of my name, I eventually exited the maze. There he was standing in a field of roses, in a suit that matched Cinderella's Prince's suit. I was living a fairytale.
Holy shit did I die? Was this heaven?
"Fabian, what's going on?"
"When I was in Liverpool with my family, we used to always go to this thing they do by the river. Everyone got this firework thing, to pull at midnight. It was amazing, all the lights going off at once. But, there was a spot. A spot above it all, a bridge. I always wanted to go up there, to see how it looked at midnight. When all the lights went off and reflected in the river. My friends and I were the only ones who knew about it. I was never allowed to go up there though. My father banned me from going. Probably because it made me smile, and the only things that were allowed were ones that made me cry. Someday I'm gonna take you. I imagine it's extremely romantic. Just you and me, next New Year's."
"Fabian you aren't making any sense," I say, "You already told me that, but it's too late."
"It's never too late." He smiled, before fading away. I looked down at my hand and realized that I too was fading.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the ballroom at the party with Eddie, Mick, Patricia, and Amber staring over me.
I smiled, "I know where he is!" I jump up and grab my purse, running toward the door.
"Who?" Eddie called back.
"Fabian!" I yell, running outside, "Taxi!"
Finally, a taxi pulled up, "Where you wanna go?"
"Liverpool, as fast as you can go."
Eventually, I was on the outskirts of somewhere in Liverpool. I paid the cabbie and ran to the first person I saw.
"Excuse me, sir!" I shout. He turns around and quickly realize that I recognize him. "Blaine!"
"Nina, what are you-"
"There's no time for questions," I say, "Where's Fabian?"
"He already went to the celebration. I was just about to go meet him and Ana there, do you need a ride?" Blaine asked kindly, opening the door to the passenger seat.
"Thank you so much," I shout, giving him a huge hug.
"Anything for you, if you can provide the family with a wedding in the near future." He said with a wink.
"I don't have a doubt in my mind." I smile.
The ride was pleasant, Blaine and I carrying on a nice conversation. When we got there I look around, "Where's the bridge? How do I get there?"
"Right through there," he tells me pointing to an alley, "For what it's worth, I've never seen him happier than when he was with you."
I hug him again and whisper in his ear, "It's worth a lot."
"Go." He says, releasing me and I run through the alley. It leads to a winding staircase, then a long hall. The hall is curved, like an upside down U. When I emerge, I'm outside again and I spot Fabian immediately.
"We were supposed to come here together." I shout above to roar of voices coming from below us.
"Nina, how did you-" he asked.
"Blaine drove me and showed me how to get up here I… I needed to see you." I sighed, stepping closer to him, "I was stupid a year ago, letting you go like that. Maybe I should have given you time."
"No," Fabian said, finishing the way between us and putting his hands on my shoulders, "I was stupid, letting you slip through my fingers. Truthfully, you're the only girl I've ever loved."
"What about Joy?"
"Remember what I told you that day at the dock? You will never know what love feels like, but you really won't until you fall into it. Quite literally for us." Fabian laughed, rubbing his hands over my shoulders.
I let a few tears fall from my eyes, "I-I can't imagine life without you anymore Fabian, I… don't think I can spend more time away from you. These past few months alone have left me numb, I just don't know how I survived not feeling, I have no idea how my grades survived…"
He brushed his thumbs over my cheeks, "Why are you crying?"
"I just love you so much," I say to him, before lifting my left to his face. This, was the most fantastic kiss, so passionate and deep. People cheer from below and I hear the fireworks going off around me. Not only are the sparks flying around in my head, as the snow began to fall around us, but the fireworks lit up the sky, midnight striking across England. But all I could think about, was Fabian. His hands running through my hair, destroying the up do Amber had worked so hard on, and letting my long hair fall around my shoulders. He picks me up and we spin in a circle, never breaking the kiss and it feels like heaven. Like life being swept back into me.
"Do you have any idea," he says, out of breath when we separate, "How much I missed you?"
I look at him and smile, "Happy New Year."
"You look beautiful." Fabian smiles, "But you must be frozen," he sighs, draping his tuxedo jacket over my shoulders. "Come on, let's get out of here. I need to grab my suitcases and we can drive back to London together."
Four hours later, Fabian and I are back at the dorm room, fingers intertwined on the couch. The fire burned in the pit, and no one was back from the party yet. We had discussed everything, everything about how much we missed each other. Even about Joy and Fabian promised he'd try and talk to her, to become friends again.
I guess things were finally starting to fall into place again.
"What. The. Fuck."
I jump at the new voice and hear Fabian groan, muttering something about the peace being disturbed.
"Where the hell have you been? You've been MIA for months!" Eddie shouts, shaking his shoulders.
"Away from you." Fabian mutters.
"I'm still mad at you for leaving," I tease, hoping Eddie will go away.
"Yeah, we all are." Eddie agrees, "I had to live alone with two girls!"
Eddie got what was coming to him, when Patricia and I both hit him.
"See what I've had to put up with?" Eddie shouts.
"Okay Kruger, you and me need to talk." Patricia says, grabbing Eddie and pulling him out of the room by the ear.
"Something's never change," Fabian snickers. "You really mad at me?" he pouts.
"Yes," I say and to prove my point, I turn away from him only to be turned back toward him. "But I think you can find a way to make it up to me."
"Can I?"
I smile and place my lips on his. Slow and sweet in the dark is what we've been doing for the past hour, but this one turned deep and passionate. Quickly escalating to fiery. As Fabian gently pushes me back against the couch, I can't help but smile at the romanticism of the situation. Awesome make-up sex by the fire burning on New Year's. I wonder when my life became a crazy rom-com and then I can't help but realize that I totally could not care less.
I love rom-coms.
Happy Fabina! Don't worry guys, there is still one more chapter, plus an epilogue which I have been planning since the beginning, and I will update Enemy in between each of those updates.
REVIEW!
