The Boy She Betrayed

Roselyn sat wide awake, staring at the darkness. Her heart felt like it was shattering into thousand pieces. Looking at the person sleeping next to her, she felt tears coming up and she brought a hand to her mouth to prevent her from crying. The darkness around her made it almost impossible to see anything, so she stared at his face without seeing anything really. Tears filled her blue eyes and slowly she stood up, carefully not to wake him and she walked to the window. Only one question was repeating over and over again in her mind.

How could she do this to him?

Tomorrow, tomorrow it all would be over. If she only made it until tomorrow… But she knew she couldn't anymore.

How could she do this him?

Her hand touched to cold glass of the window. The city lights burned like thousand stars in a night that never completely came. Listening to every single sound in the room, she stared off in the distance. No cars drove anymore and all the people were gone. The city slept, just like her loved one. She turned around, staring at the place were their bed was.

How could she do this him?

Fear, she told herself. She was so afraid. If she was stronger, she would never do this to him. If she had any kind of respect for herself and him, she would run. Just like she told him to do. Run, run and never come back. He didn't deserve this. Slowly, tears began to fell out of her blue eyes. Without any sound she looked to the ground and let her pain take control of her. In all silence her tears slid over her cheeks and fell on the ground, leaving darker spots that would disappear again. She buried her head in her hands, her long, blonde hair falling like a curtain for her face. Standing there, all alone in the darkness surrounding her, she wondered how she could this let ever get this far.

How the hell could she do this to him?

Wally turned around in his sleep, mumbling some words she couldn't understand. Her eyes went in the direction he was sleeping and slowly she walked to him. Carefully to make no sound at all, her hand reach at his red hair, caressing the flaming locks. As her hand touched his head, Wally mumbled something again, but he didn't wake. She bit on her lip, watching his sleeping face.

How could she ever do this to him?

Her lips pressed a soft kiss on his cheek. The small smile on his face widened a bit and that moment Roselyn knew. She couldn't. There was no way she could hand him over like that, watch how they would… hurt him. No! She wouldn't let that happen. A bit faster than she wanted to she stood up, turning around and whipping her tears away. Resolved she made her way out of the room, closing to door softly behind her. She quickly grabbed a pen and a paper and wrote a little note. Her heart raced faster than she could've imagined it would. Bowing over the paper she wrote the words in her heart up. She laid the pen down, starring before her. Fear ran trough her blood, but she couldn't give up now. On the moment she wanted to turn around and leave, she heard the phone ringing. While she cursed the one who dared to call she ran to the phone, picking it up and whispered, so Wally couldn't hear: "with Roselyn?"

"You're not quitting, right?" a threatening voice on the other side of the line said.

"I can't do this…" she whispered, feeling the tears coming again.

"You're weak, we can't stop now" the voice got angrier.

"He doesn't deserve this!" she raised her voice a bit, immediately hoping Wally didn't hear.

"Perhaps he doesn't, but think about the others. Imagine their faces. They deserve all the bad things."

"I don't want to hurt him…" she whispered, "promise we you won't hurt him and I'll stick to the plan. Say you don't care and I'm telling him everything, right now."

"You wouldn't…" the voice sounded surprised.

Searching all her courage, she said as threatening as she could: "just try me."

"Okay, Roselyn, I won't hurt him" the voice promised, "but you have to stick to the plan."

"Got that" Roselyn confirmed and she hung up.

She turned around, picked the pen up and wrote a last sentence under her note. As she laid the pen back she stared at the room where Wally was sleeping one last time. Than she disappeared into the night, wishing that whatever Wally would do if he woke up, he wouldn't go and search her. For one short second she whished his love for her wasn't as real as she thought it was.

The sun woke Wally up. He slowly stretched his arms, still half asleep and turned around to meet the familiar blue eyes watching him. But they weren't there. Immediately all his senses were at high alert. In as second he stood up, almost screaming: "Roselyn?!"

No answer.

He felt his heart racing at an alarming speed and fear caused him to stare at the wall in front of him for a few seconds. Tears of simple despair burned behind his eyes. What he feared all along seemed now so awful close. He turned around and racing around in super speed he searched the whole house, screaming her name. The tears started to fall, faster and faster. He reached the table and wanted to open the door that leaded to the streets as he saw a simply, white paper. Grabbing it in super speed, he whipped the tears away so he could read.

My dear Wally,

I don't think faith likes us together. For that, I have to leave you again. I'm so sorry I can't tell you exact why. Please forgive me, Wally. I do love you, never forget that, but I think we're just not meant to be. I'm really, really sorry.

Do with your life what you want to now. Forget your promise, forget me. I hope Shayera can give you the love I wanted to give you. I miss you already, Wally. But it is the best way. Join the League again if you want to.

Since the day I left you, I wanted to come back, you have to believe that. You're my whole world, and I just don't want you to get hurt. Believe me, Wally, this is the best way.

I love you,

Roselyn

P.S: Meet me Saturday at 2 am at the place we used to hide. I want to see you one more time… Please?

Tears dripped upon the paper and Wally felt all the life slipping away from him. With his mouth open, to scream words that wouldn't come, he staggered a few steps backwards, until he felt the wall in his back. Staring without seeing anything at all, he fell trough his knees, really, really slowly.

How could she do this to me?

"NO!" he screamed finally, burying his head in his hands, making himself as small as possible.

There was nothing, nothing on this whole earth that could've hurt him more than what he just read. How could she?! Saying she loves him and leaving him at the same time. With a quick move he ripped the paper into thousand of pieces, smashing it away. As he watched the pieces whirling to the ground, he felt more desperate than he ever did before.

She left me again… AGAIN!

He never ever felt so angry before. What was he supposed to do now? Move on with his life? A sarcastic grin crossed his lips, but the tears kept falling.

She IS my life.

It was really to naïve to think things would be alright for once… No, things always, always had to go wrong. Slowly, he brought a hand to his face, whipping his tears of pain away. His eyes went to the pieces of the paper, lying on the ground. He got up again and walked right over the pieces, walking with an emotionless face to the door. If she wanted to see him, fine, she would see him.

His face turned into a hard mask of pain. One, one last time she could take a good look at his face. He didn't need her, not if things were like this.

Since the day I left you, I wanted to come back, you have to believe that. You're my whole world, and I just don't want you to get hurt. Believe me, Wally, this is the best way.

Liar! He knew she never meant those stupid words. Without knowing it, he clenched his fists. Stupid, stupid girl. He felt the tears coming back, as the words on the letter kept repeating, over and over again. Every damn step he took again. He couldn't make it go away.

He still needed her.

After all what she had done, after all what she made him go trough, after all those years and he still needed her.

I'm such a pathetic person, really. But one day, Roselyn, I won't need you anymore. One day… Someday… I'll be… I'll be what I want to be. A real hero.

Roselyn looked trough the window. In silence she was praying Wally wouldn't come. He couldn't be that stupid! For once, she hoped he bumped into that Shayera-girl and she made him stop.

"Rosy… Wanna talk to me?" she froze when she heard his voice.

"Wally… Y-You came…"

"Yeah, that's what you wanted right?" he sounded so cold.

No, no! Stupid boy.

Roselyn turned around. She wanted to scream he had to run, to go away and forget her. But instead of doing that, she smiled her sweetest smile. She tried not to look to the dark corner behind Wally, knowing he was there. Taking a step back, she said: "so you got my letter?"

"Yup" a tear fell over his face, "why…"

He never got the chance to finish his question, 'cause behind him a man stepped out of the shadows, hitting his face.

Wally fell on the ground, jumping back on his feet again only a few seconds later. His mouth fell open.

"You're…" he started.

"So, you do remember me" the man smirked.

Wally was speechless. He did remember that man. He was the one who took Roselyn away from him, the one who kept laughing with him. Wally could hear his laughter in his head.

"Rosy, what the hell is going on" he said, looking to her face.

"I'm so sorry, Wally" she said, looking to the tips of her feet. "So sorry…"

"Rose…" his voice faded away as he felt another beat in his face.

He fell on the ground, but he was to confused to concentrate on the fight. He got hit over and over again, but he could only hear her words.

I'm so sorry Wally, so sorry.

Right before the darkness took over him, it hit him.

She knew this. He stepped right into her trap.

Then the darkness pulled him away from whatever happened in this world.

Hey, hey, sorry for the long wait. I've started writing another story (hehe, you can kill me now) so I forgot about this. But than I saw my reviews and they were all asking for an update, so I did. And yes, the boy on the phone was the boy who treahtened Wally before. I know the ending sucks, but you'll have to live with that. I'll try updating sooner.
