Chapter 12
Fabian's POV-
Tomorrow.
Nina: Fabian, listen to me. I'm sorry.
Say what now?
Fabian: Sorry? For what?
Nina: Everything.
Fabian: Don't be. That's like being sorry that I met you. And, believe me, I'm not.
Nina: After everything?
Fabian: After everything.
Nina: Gee, Fabian, that's sweet.
Fabian: Anything for you, Nina.
We stayed silent for a while. I realized what I 'd said and blushed like a rose. I can't believe I just said all of that! How embarrassing! I'm making my feelings for her SO obvious! I heard a loud cough on the other end of the phone. Not a normal cough, though. It was one of those awkward silence breaking coughs people do on purpose. I heard soft whispers on the other side of the line and feet shuffling.
Patricia: What did he say?
Nina: Um, nothing.
Patricia: Sure he did. Wait 'til I tell Amber.
Nina: What are you going to tell her?
Patricia: Nothing. Are you done?
Nina: Um, ya. Let me say bye.
Patricia: Well, make it quick. This is costing me minutes.
I heard Nina pull the phone back up to her head.
Nina: Look, Fabian, I-
Fabian: It's alright. I'll see you tomorrow anyways.
Nina: Ok, well, bye, Fabian.
Fabian: Bye, Nina.
I ended the call to my dismay. You'll get to see her tomorrow, Fabian. Don't worry about it. But I can't wait 'til tomorrow. I just can't.
Nina's POV-
The day passed faster than I wish it had. Why did I ever agree to come? Because you needed to set things right. Plus, he's back. I know. What if Rufus does what he did last time. This time, your friends won't leave you. I hope you're right. I glanced at the dress Patricia picked out for me. It's a soft blue sundress that trails to my knee with a white shawl. I sighed as I plopped on to the bed. Patricia's letting me stay in her guest bedroom, but I'm leaving as soon as the reunion is over. Everything could go bad. That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid that everything will go good, great, wonderful, even. Then, I won't want to leave. I have to. I need to. If I stay, I'll put everyone in danger. Well, everyone but Fabian. If I go back, then so will Fabian. I can't afford to move away, but I also can't afford to lose Fabian. There was a knock on my door, but I didn't hear it over my thoughts. Whoever was there came in and just stood by the door. I closed my eyes and focused on my struggles. I think I love Fabian. I'm pretty sure I do. But, with Rufus around and a new mystery, I can't do this on my own. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. The person at the door shuffled to my side and wiped away my tear. Before I could hold myself back, more tears burst out. They pulled me in to a hug and I could faintly remember the person by their embrace. Who is this?
Nina: I can't deal with this mystery on my own. I need the help of Sibuna.
?: Don't worry. We'll be by your side. You'll always have me around.
I opened my eyes and gasped. That voice. Could it be? I pulled away from the hug and saw his face. It's him. Oh my gosh. It's really him.
Nina: F- F- F- Fabian.
He smiled sweetly, melting my heart in the process.
Fabian: It's good to see you too, Nina.
He pulled me back in to the hug and this time, I didn't dare to let go.
