THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS, FAVE STORIES/AUTHOR ADDERS, AUTHOR/STORY ALERT PEOPLE AGAIN! And people PLEASE READ these messages, don't just skim over them! If I'm missing any reviewers below, please inform me because sometimes I make mistakes and don't want to leave out a name!
This'll hopefully be a long chapter!
: I'm sorry I forgot your shoutout! Thanks, I'm glad you liked my story! Cool name btw, I love the stone jade
TrueJackVP408: Your reviews are entertaining :) Hobos are cool…and yeesh, I'm typing, I'm typing…I wish I had super fingers (Commercial alert: SUPER FINGERS! With super fingers, you have long fingers and fast typing..all in one) Sorry, I'm bored! I should be typing, so I'll get back to that :)
Psychoticbookgirl: Basically, the whole kissing thing was a dream (and the part about Amy finding out Isabel was the one who destroyed the clues)…So basically, she's mad at herself for believing Ian could change and for being happy at a dream, tell me if you still have questions :) And thanks for reviewing
MeCountryFolk: I know, sorry, Chapter 15 was super duper short, I'm still writing chapter 16, so hopefully, it'll be long; I had my sister's friend over when I was writing this so I had to watch her and my sister
Zammie and Ian and Amy Fan: Yeah, I thought he was when I read the books; he is a Lucian and Kabra after all…thanks for reviewing, I know, it was a depressing chapter…but keep reading!! You'll like this chapter (at least the end of it)
ILuvDance622: No problem :) I like giving shoutouts, it's fun because it lets me interact with reviewers. And I know, I suck at grammar in fanfiction…normally, I'm good, but also I never seem to focus on grammar because I'm concentrating on the storylines…sorry about that
End of Chapter 15:
"P-p-poor stuttering Amy", Ian mocked Amy, sinking inwardly at her hurt look.
"You think I cared about you love. You're just a little, naïve girl who no one cares about". Lie. "Dan, your parents, and Grace left you because they hated you". Lies again. Ian hated himself for doing this, but it was for the best. He wasn't meant for her. He wanted her, but she wouldn't want him.
Amy stared at him, the ache finally back. She shook her head slowly, her heart breaking with Ian's faltering smirk. He was right. He was always right. She was always wrong.
"Y-you're right", she sighed.
Chapter 16:
Ian looked at her, anxiously, blaming himself in reality.
"I shouldn't – shouldn't", she sighed, not believing she could deserve something like this. "I was wrong to want love. I don't deserve it. Everyone does, but me. You're always right". Why did it matter anymore? Everyone hated her, right?
She didn't see Ian's face crumple as she turned around. She shook her tears away, trying to preserve the last of her dignity and walked to the bathroom
Ian just stood there, his heart inwardly breaking. Shouldn't he be happy? Shouldn't he?
Instead, he felt awful.
He groaned and ran after her, grabbing her shoulder again.
She spun around. "What", she yelled, sobbing. "I said you were right! What do you want from me? I'll give it to you, just don't hurt me anymore".
Ian couldn't take it anymore.
He grabbed her and pulled her into a huge hug, almost squishing her.
She buried her head into his shoulder and cried as he stroked her hair.
Amy tried to muffle her crying; she hated herself for falling for him. She wanted to pull away, but his arms were so warm and she needed a hug.
Ian couldn't take it anymore. He held her shoulders and looked into her eyes, gently lifting her chin up when she tried to look down.
He wiped her stray tears away.
"OK, love, let's get some things straight", Ian cupped Amy's cheek in his hands, ignoring the flinch that followed. "One, you are beautiful, even when you cry".
Amy blushed and shook her head.
"Two, I never wrote the letter. Natalie did. She went looking for you, just like I did. I still have to forgive her for that, but she's my sister; I will forgive her eventually…Three, you always deserve love. Never stop believing that. Your parents loved you, and they still do, it wasn't your fault they died. Grace does too, and so does Dan…he never destroyed the clues, Isabel did"
Amy gasped. Her dream was true; Dan didn't destroy the clues.
Ian smiled and continued. "I'm not done yet, love. I have one more. Five. Amy, I never stopped loving you. Natalie made me leave the cave in Korea…she threatened me and has some explaining to do. The whole charade was because I was scared you don't love me back. But I have to tell you. I was afraid I would be hurt if I told you, but I can't keep it any longer. I am absolutely, irrevocably in love with you".
Hey, this was still short…I'm sorry…but I like short, but frequent chapters over long very infrequent chapters
