Emery grabbed the sponge, and the body wash and stared at it as if it had the answers to everything. She wanted to collapse right then and there, he was part of Covenant. He knew about everything, and she was just finding out. The boy she loved had been against her this whole time. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAUpljkIuoQt
Maybe he hadn't been against her, but he was part of the whole source of the disappearance of Ian. He warned her that he couldn't be trusted, in the end she trusted him more than what she should have. Emery fell in love with him, told him secrets she's never told anyone. Kissed him like there was no tomorrow. And now maybe there wasn't a tomorrow. 89Please respect copyright.PENANA9o7KGURbJT
It's only a matter of time, only a matter of time. Just a short time, until everything goes to waste. And if anything did go to waste, then she didn't know what she would do from there. Her hand reached for the handle, and turned it to the side until the water stopped running. She stepped out, and wiped down the fog from the mirror and sighed. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAbNCiOHm3EN
"Cassian, could we stay here today? I don't feel like going out." She mumbled, as she grabbed her clothes from the suitcase. Cassian looked at her, raising a brow. He sat up, and tilted his head.89Please respect copyright.PENANA56owpq8UM4
"But you were excited for tonight, what changed?" He asked, standing up and walking to her. She inhaled sharply, her eyes looked anywhere but his.89Please respect copyright.PENANAsounmr7ucl
"Probably, uh... I ate something, and got sick. I don't feel good is all." She said, looking at him again, as he stared down at her. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ATW4p9A9
"What?" She asked, narrowing her eyes. 89Please respect copyright.PENANA79bYdYQJBg
"Nothing."89Please respect copyright.PENANARlPn9Pcdlt
"So, can I get dressed now?"89Please respect copyright.PENANAjxSbwnqKHn
"Yes you can." He said, not looking away from her, then realized he was staring. His ears started turning red, and he cleared his throat.89Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ5ix27wJq
"I don't mind if you watch, but don't make it too weird." She said, faking a soft giggle. Her heart was still heavy, but part of her actually didn't mind. He sat down on the edge of the bed, when she let the towel fall. He let out a sound of some sort, as she finished putting on her shorts. She turned to look at him, and smiled. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3NeYfZAYI
"You okay?" 89Please respect copyright.PENANAjt9pwmofz7
"I am, why wouldn't I be okay? Anyway, do you want to watch a movie or something since we're not going anywhere now?" 89Please respect copyright.PENANANBCbmxIDly
"What if we watch Gilmore Girls? I haven't watched that show in ages." She said, sitting down next to him. He nodded, and grabbed the TV remote and opened Netflix. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAFbQnSp7oQm
"Damn, your dad pays for Netflix on this TV too?" He asked, clicking on Emery's profile and going to the search bar. Emery nodded, and put the blanket over them. His arm draped over her shoulder, as she snuggled next to him. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAzqJRQTHtmv
"I don't know, I guess he does. I never asked him though. But I do know he makes good money every year, but I never ask for anything unlike Ian when before he disappeared or anything." She said, moving his arm under the blanket and interlocking fingers with him. Cassian nodded, and looked back at the TV screen.
Somehow Emery had fallen asleep, and Cassian had been writing in his journal. He knew Emery didn't see short stories or whatever she said she had seen. Because he didn't write anything in his journal but he did know exactly what Emery had read. And he knew it was time to tell her the truth. He knew this day would come, but he didn't plan it to be when he fell in love. But if betraying her means saving her then that's what he will do. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAUmwaBSikpa
"Little ghost." He whispered, shaking her softly she let out a little whine and opened her eyes. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAUEkZR8jrhi
"What?" She asked, sitting up slightly. He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. She raised a brow. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAXWgQlDgyWB
"I think I should tell you the truth by now." He said, she had learned to dread that tone of voice from anyone by now. She wasn't ready either, she didn't want to know the truth. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAVYKsWbHt3l
"I'm actually part of the-" he got cut off when his phone rang. He blinked. 89Please respect copyright.PENANA88GDWclpiI
"Dammit, I'll be right back." He stood up and went to the other room and picked up the call, Emery sat there in confusion. What the hell had just happened? She knew what he was going to tell her, but part of her pretended he was going to say something else. Something less scary. A few minutes passed, and he hadn't come back. Was he having another mental break down?89Please respect copyright.PENANAQe74JdNon4
The night went on, and he came back. None of them spoke to each other, just laid in bed as if nothing had ever happened. Maybe nothing had happened, and it was all just a fever dream that one of them would wake up from. Maybe it was all an illusion and they were characters starring in some dark thriller show. Or this was just a lie and they were experiments. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAyfGQ184bFS
Emery didn't want to think like that, she didn't want to think this was all fake and that her love for Cassian had been all a lie. But now, she had to regain her focus on the actual deal they had from the night they met. 89Please respect copyright.PENANAyc5XcxYxKe
Work together and find Ian. That is all they had talked about, that's all that should've happened from the beginning not this. Not falling in love and getting betrayed. She shouldn't have let anything happen. she should've listened to him. To her head, to her heart. Or to neither one at all. 89Please respect copyright.PENANA1DMGkyDfKQ
In the end, someone dies, someone gets hurt, and the mist burns. Even if they both die.
