“Unless you have something actually worth listening to, stop talking. Now.” This girl was impossible. Why couldn’t she just hear what he had to say and accept it? “Why is what I’m trying to fucking say not worth listening to, Jane? I know I’m not good with words, but for Christ’s sake! I’m telling you some real shit right now!” He knew she didn’t like it when he cursed, but she knew he didn’t like it when she was stubborn. “Because you’re leaving, Alec! This is just hurting me more! Why can’t you understand that?!” Jane yelled back. All he could do was stare at her. It was like he could feel the frustration and aggravation radiating from her body. Her body was completely rigid, from the way she crossed her arms tightly to the angry way her eyebrows were creased. But just when he was about to get up and leave her alone on the pier, she sighed. She uncrossed her arms and he saw her shoulders slump. And then her hands were covering her face, and he knew he couldn’t leave her now. Not ever. “You’re going to war, Alec. You are going away and possibly never coming back. I might never see you again. Why bother?” she asked, her voice wavering. “Because you’re all I’ve got, all I want, and all I’ll ever need. And I know you feel the same about me.” She uncovered her face, looked at him for a while, then averted her gaze to watch the sun set along the horizon. “I love you, Jane. I’ll love you every day that I’m gone, and every day when I return. I promise,” he said. All she did was nod her head and take his hand in hers. But that was all he needed. He was complete. So he pulled her close to him; kissed her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, her lips. And then they stayed there on the pier, in that moment, forever. Via: AilysPeace
