A Fairytale Ending
She was avoiding him. That much was obvious. Jeeze! Didn't she realize he felt the exact same way? He loved her too. And he couldn't just leave her alone. He knew that she was scared that he would hurt her, but she didn't know how he really felt.
When she wasn't in the cafeteria at lunch, he knew where he could find her.
You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?
He found her in the last row of shelves in the library.
"Rory…"
She jumped at the voice breaking through the silence she had been yearning for all day.
"We need to talk…" Tristan started. "Last night, you said some things…"
"It was the roofie talking," Rory interrupted.
"The roofie."
"Yes."
Tristan sighed, suddenly frustrated. "When is this whole saga going to end Mar?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, we just keep going around in circles. One step forward, two jumps back. Listen," Tristan started, grabbing her by the arms so she couldn't run away.
Rory burst into tears. She was torn. She knew what he wanted to say. And if she let him get it out, she wouldn't be able to control herself. She'd wind up with her heart broken.
"I know you meant what you said."
"I didn't! I didn't!" Rory protested through her tears, trying to convince herself more than Tristan.
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
"You're just scared Rory, I know you're just scared."
"How could you possibly know that?"
"I can see it in your eyes."
Rory just scoffed at him.
"I mean it. Just by looking into them, its like I have a free viewing of your feelings. It's so real."
"That's not true. I'm not scared."
"They're almost gray. You're eyes are gray when you're scared. They're dark when your sad, and sparkle when you're challenged. They're beautiful."
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try
"What's your point?"
"My point is that I'm nothing without you Rory, nothing. I want you. More than I've ever wanted anyone.
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
Rory was silent.
"God, do I need to spell it out for you? You're the one, my better half."
She just stared at him through her tears, her eyes widening.
"I love you Rory, I love you so fucking much I can't sleep at night. I want to be yours. I want you to be mine. I want to be together. And I know you're scared that I'll hurt you, but I promise that It wouldn't even be possible. I couldn't hurt you without hurting myself. I need you."
Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together, baby
Free together, baby
She loved him too. She couldn't lie to herself anymore about it. "You're right. I do love you. " she managed to get out through her tears.
Tristan felt the weight being lifted from his chest. It could happen now. He could have everything he's wanted, needed, for years. He pulled her close and kissed her. So close their tears molded together. Tears of happiness. Of freedom. Of longing, lust, and love.
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
And here, the saga of Mary and Bible Boy ended.
So that the fairytale could begin.
And they lived happily ever after.
