Don't Leave Me

Chapter 9

Sorry for the late update! I've spent Sunday, May 5th on a break, and I won't be able to upload any more chapters until the 9th, but don't worry! I'll be working on more chapters until then! Along with a new story from Dragon Age II!

I have been playing Dragon Age 2 for the first time, (Just started a second play through as a Mage, gonna see how that turns out. My first was as a warrior. I doubt I will last long because I prefer to be up front fighting than in the back.), I may end up writing stories there, too, along with Mass Effect, once I get to know the game. I'm going to learn the game and such to be able to write accurate stories of Dragon Age.

I only started this week. Merrill is my first romance and is my second, I couldn't help, but love her. (Go On, Hate me! Ha!) She is like Tali and Naïve Liara at the same time because of her cute rambling and her sudden realization questions, such as "Are We Under Attack?" In an innocent voice. It kills me inside every time something that cute comes out. I can't believe I didn't play the game earlier!

I can't play Dragon Age: Orgins since the computer does the fighting, But I got have control over my character, you know?

Anyhow, Here's the 9th chapter! This is a very short chapter, be advised!

Liara was in her Skycar, tears in her eyes, and speeding at an extreme mileage toward her house. She doesn't know how she was going to apologize to the man she loved. Her fear of John scared him to death, which she knew he does not like to do. She had to come up with a plan to say sorry. Her wedding was two days away, the severing of their relationship would be the end of her life.

She set the car in the driveway, killed the engine, and exited it. Locking it after getting out. She walked to the front door, it wasn't locked. She opened it, silently, peeking around to see if he was anywhere. He didn't wreck the house in rage with Biotics. She walked in and closed the door quietly. Liara took off her shoes and gone up the stairs. The Asari heard footsteps fading out then back in, over and over from the master's bedroom. She sneakily went to the door, and she peeked in. She saw John, pacing forward and back, with his hands at each side of his head. He was speaking,

"...John, why the fuck did you have to do that in front of her? Only if she understand..." He muttered.

He continued with Liara listening, "...I was trying to protect her...She was in danger of that man..."

Liara backed for a minute, who was he talking about? She eavesdropped again.

"...I just didn't want Areia hurt..."

Liara backed away again. Did he want Areia? Or was he protecting her? She was very confused right now. She resumed eavesdropping.

"...I need to apologize to Liara...I scared her even more when I ran off..."

That was when Liara stepped in. The door swung open as Liara stood at the doorway.

"No need to, John." Liara told him.

He looked at her with a mixed expression of shock and confusion. He had tears in his eyes, and they were bloodshot, he was crying for a while.

"I understand." She told him.

"I don't think so, I shouldn't have done that in front of you..." John replied.

She grabbed his shoulders, "John, listen to me! Only if you told me you were trying to protect Areia, I would have known!" She told him, tears running rapidly down her face, "I love you...There's nothing you can do to make me hate you..." She said as she sniffed, "If you were being protective of Areia...I understand...Now please! Don't run off on me again!" She begged while she sobbed.

He grabbed her shoulders this time, "Look, Liara. I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you with what I've shown." He told her, tears swelling up, "I was being protective to Areia because I didn't want a beautiful Asari like her to have her life ruined by a bunch of bad guys. I want her to live a good life. Of course, she's going to have to fight, but hopefully when she is older and she can defend herself." He explained.

She nodded as she listened to his words. Now, she knew why he has gotten that way with the Falcons' leader. He didn't want Areia's life come crashing down while she was so young. Liara sobbed as she finally realized what he did. He has protected a stranger not of his species, but her own, to let them have a good start.

Her crying worried John further down, "Oh...Please don't tell me!" He said as he let go of her shoulders and backed again.

She reached for him, "No! Please Don't Leave Me! It's not that!"

He stopped, she walked up to him and viciously pulled him in for a extremely deep passionate kiss, which she poured her feelings into the same way she had before the Assault on IIos. She didn't separate for several minutes, even when she needed air. When she finally pulled away from him, she begged,

"Please...I cannot live my life without you...You are my everything..."

His heart has taken a beating from this, he, now, knew how much he has damaged her for running.

"Liara, I'm so sorry for running...I wish I had never did that...I could never have been the man I am now if you hadn't come into my life. The meeting on Therum was the start." He said as he smiled while tears ran down his face.

She smiled lovingly as she had tears of her own went rolling down from her tear ducts.

They took each other in an embrace. Liara threw her hands around his neck while he wrapped his around her waist.

"Do you forgive me?" John asked.

"Yes." Was her final word before taking him in for a kiss of the night.

Again, I apologize! I know! This was a very short chapter! Just to settle those who are thinking this was too depressing, it was the end, or something like that.

Just a make-up chapter!
