Did you guys hear the song I posted on the fb page? I thought it was perfect for David. Don't you think?

DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS STORY'S PLOT AND CHARACTERS.

seriously? (2)

"Why what happened?" I questioned exactly at the same moment David and James entered.

"Let's just say.. There was a lot of drama." She winked at me. "I hope you two worked out those kinks" she kissed James and looked pointedly at both the brothers. "Let's leave these two alone for a while and join everyone else at the ball, we need to show a united front." She then said the last part to David.

James gave a bright smile and held out his arm as Lindsay grabbed it "Shall we?" He said while leaving, "We shall" is the reply he got.

Simultaneously David silently walked towards me, got on my bed and put his arms around me.

I put my head on his chest and hugged him back. He leaned in and pressed his lips against my forehead.

He stayed silent even after both James and Lindsay left.

I craned my neck towards him to try to guess what he was thinking, why he wasn't saying anything. However, what I sawconfused me even more. It felt like he wasn't breathing. He wasn't even looking at me yet the expression he wore on his face was stoic and heartbreaking at the same time.

I lightly touched his cold face with my hand. Finally he looked down at me and hugged me even tighter than before.

"David…" I gave him a smile he didn't return, so instead I leaned in and gave him a light kiss on his lips. "What's wrong baby?"

He gave me a small smile and moved his head side to side as if saying 'nothing' and looked away.

I pushed his messy hair back trying to fix it and then let my hand fall back to his chest.

He didn't need me to push him into talking. I already knew part of his reason would be that he almost lost me and went through hell so I just put my head on his chest again.

Five minutes later he said in a soft voice "I failed you."

I wanted to tell him that he hadn't failed me but that's not what he needed to hear. "I'm still here aren't I?"

His voice was trembling when he said "Next time you might not be this lucky. Maybe your mother is right.. Maybe you should break off the engagement."

I couldn't believe he was suggesting the same thing as my mother. Tears started coming back to my eyes. I pushed myself off of David thinking I would tell him the same thing I told my mother but what was the point? He had heard my answer as clear as he had heard my mother's request.

"Is that what you want?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"It's not about what I want; it's about what's safer for you."

"You think I'll be safe if we break off the engagement? They wouldn't come after me to try to hurt you?" I tried to make my voice sound stronger than I felt. I tried to cry silently instead of breaking into pieces just like my heart. I was now sitting at the edge of the bed facing away from David.

"Maybe.." he replied.

"Okay.." I got off the bed and started taking my engagement ring off.

Before I could, David was in front of me in a flash and on his knee. "Wait! I'm sorry! I didn't mean that! Please don't leave me! I take that back! I don't know why I said that! You can't leave me! I can't live without you!" he kept begging me and buried his face while hugging me. "Please don't leave me."

He kept repeating that line over and over again. If I didn't know better I would think he was crying with the way his voice and his body shook.

"David I don't want to leave you but I will if you don't want me here."

"I will always want you; I'm just scared of loosing you. I'm so sorry, I thought I can be selfless and let you go but I can't. I can't let you leave. Please don't leave me. "

"I am not going anywhere. I am still here. Make the most of it."

In a matter of second we were entangled with each other on the bed, our arms intertwined and our lips locked with each other.

When we broke the kiss we both were out of breath.

"I'm sorry. It just hurt so much.." David whispered.

"I know baby, but I'm here now." I cupped his face. "Please don't ever ask me to leave you again, it will destroy me."

He looked so ashamed and tired "Never. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did. I love you Liz."

"I love you too David."

After a short kiss I was really tired and wanted to go to sleep but I was still in my fancy dress. So I just asked David to unzip it and before I knew it I snuggled with David and fell asleep.

When I woke up next I still felt really tired but it made me feel better that David was still lying down next to me even if he was creepily watching me sleep.

"You know watching someone while they are sleeping is normally considered creepy." I said to David with a smile on my lips.

"I've been waiting for you to wake up so that I could tell you how sorry I am about yesterday and how much I love you."

"I know you didn't actually want me to leave so it's okay, everyone has their own way to deal with certain situations and you were under a lot of pressure. And I love you too David."

After a pause I said blushing "David, can you go get me something to wear?"

"Why? I think I like you this way." He moved on top of me and started leaving a trail of kisses.

Before we got completely lost in our own world Lindsay barged in saying "Did I hear you say you needed something to wear?-" as soon as she noticed us she turned around and said laughing "I'm sorry to interrupt but your presence is required downstairs."

David groaned and said "Royal throne room?"

"Yepp." She left the room after dropping me some causal shirt and jeans.

I went to the washroom, did whatever I had to and got dressed too. "All done. By the way, I noticed I've never been in this room before."

"That's because this is the secret chamber that only the royals know about. Now let's go, your royal chariot waits."

He picked me up and it was funny how he referred to himself as my royal ride.

We arrived at the throne room. It was amazing, just like all the other amazing rooms in the palace.

Yeahhhhh soooo any thoughts on the matter? I hope I didn't drag it too much? Ending is kinda abrupt but something's better than nothing eh? ;)

I guess just two or three chapters left. I'm sad that it's going to end. But you guys need to be patient. I'm under a lot of stress with my final year of LLB. i always update whenever I can. even at 5 am lol. This is the first time though that I'm updating from my iphone. Didn't even know that was possible 😱

Anyway, until next time.

Cheerios. ;)
