Susan POV

Susan sat by the train window, staring at the fastly moving landscape. She knew that as soon as they got off the train that she and Lucy would be seperated from their brothers. She had to pay attention to them while she still had the chance. She looked away from the window at Peter and Edmund who were still talking about all of the occurences that had happened in Narnia.

"Didn't you think it was fun, Susan?" asked Peter, looking over at her.

"Huh?" she asked. She was tuned out of their conversation until now.

"She's still thinking about her prince and how they'll never be together," teased Edmund.

"Cut it out Edmund!" snapped Susan. "That's not what I'm thinking about!"

But, now that Edmund had mentioned it, she was beginning to miss him. She knew though that she couldn't stay with him. Yes, part of her loved him, but when she tried to think about who she would end up missing more, she knew it would be her family.

"Are you okay, Susan?" asked Lucy looking over at her.

"Yes, Lucy," replied Susan even though her heart felt a hundred times heavier in her chest.

Peter could see the pain on Susan's face even though she was trying her best to hide it.

"Susan, would you come with me and check on the luggage for a minute?" asked Peter.

Susan looked at Peter with curiousity, wondering what he was trying to do.

"Okay," she said as she got up from her seat.

Lucy and Edmund tried to get up to go with them when Peter looked at them and said, "Stay here. We'll be just a minute."

Susan followed Peter to the end of the train car where he immediately turned and took a seat. Susan sat across from him. She knew that this wasn't about their luggage. He wanted to know what was eating at her.

"So, what's wrong?" he asked, searching her up and down.

"Nothing," she said bluntly.

Peter leaned back in his seat and studied Susan for a moment before saying, "Aslan told us that our mission in Narnia is done; that we don't need to go back; that we can't go back. After everything we've been through in Narnia, after all the years that we spent there, it's only natural to miss it."

"Yes," agreed Susan. "It is."

Peter leaned forward and stared Susan straight in the eyes as he said, "Narnia isn't the only thing you miss though, is it?"

Susan looked away from Peter. She didn't know why she was so embarrassed that he was right.

"Caspian was a swell guy. I can see why you became enchanted by him," said Peter. "I wouldn't have blamed you if you had stayed with him."

"I barely knew him, Peter!" stated Susan. "Why would I want to spend the rest of my life with someone I didn't know?"

"Yes, Susan. You may barely have known him, but your heart knew who he was," said Peter, pointing at Susan's heart.

Susan tried to blink back the tears that were starting to well up in her eyes. Her heart did yearn for Caspian, but it wasn't like they were going to be able to be together.

"I did love Caspian," said Susan. "I can't afford to love him anymore though Peter. If I do, I'll just end up hurting myself even more."

Peter got up and sat in the seat next to Susan. He placed his hand over her hand and gripped it tight.

"I almost thought about staying with him, but I decided to come back home. I know that this will sound bad, but I wonder if I did the right thing. Maybe I was meant to stay in Narnia with him," said Susan.

"You did the right thing by coming back with us, Susan," said Peter.

Susan allowed a single tear to slip from her eye as she looked at Peter and said barely above a whisper, "Then why doesn't it feel like it?"

Peter grabbed Susan and gave her a hug as she started to cry.

"It's okay Susan," said Peter, trying to make her feel better.

Susan allowed herself to cry as she wondered why love had to be so complicated.
