The Alpha's Nerd.

7. She Chooses.

Arabelle's POV:

A week. A week is all it took to drive me crazy. My longing for him was increasing by the minute, but I restrained myself took control, when I had none. I fought a battle between running into his arms and staying away, which felt like miles of distance when he was right next to me. I was in pieces from the constant constraining of my heart, the ache receded with him near me, it increased when I was alone.

What was he doing to me? Why was I feeling this way? Why did I need him so much that it hurt? Why did I feel safe just thinking about him? 

Kellan's POV:

A week. A week was all it took to make or break  things. Since then we haven't spoken, we just steal glances at each other. The pain in her eyes, the confusion was crystal clear. Some days she would avoid me, till I stood right in her path, some days were better, where she froze and stared at me blankly. The sight of her being so guarded, around me made my heart break into a million pieces, she felt pain her eyes held questions, which were waiting to be answered.

She became someone else. She was more guarded, more secretive she wasn't the carefree girl I had known, the one I loved.

She needed space, she needed time to process things. 

Love never comes easy they said. If it does its not meant to be. Love struggles, it fights, it tears apart the entire world, just to be with the one their heart and soul longs for. Another thing about love is the pain, the ache your soul feels, it makes us stronger. To some love is a myth, to others its a drug that you can't help but get addicted to.

Some days love is your every wish come true, but some days it is the tears you cry huddled in a corner, praying for the pain to vanish, as it slowly kills you inside. 

This love is for eternity. I told myself. Nothing or no one could tear us apart, no matter how hard they tried. She was the one, that would save me from the monster I was destined to be.

Arabelle POV:

I walked silently across the halls, as I made sure no one would see me at this hour. I knew he was here. I didn't know how, I just did.

My hand wrapped around the knob, but I refused to open it, as my fear crept up to me.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath to compose myself.

"You can do this. This is your choice. Whatever you choose will decide which path you take, what your future will be like. "

But was I ready to live a life, to envision a future without him in it?

I turned the knob, slowly as I regained my composure.

The door opened revealing Mr. Woods, sitting at his desk head resting in his hands, lost in thought.

But what disturbed me was that, his expression was clouded with hurt and the tears that rolled down his eyes, to be met by the floor which now held the tears of a man with a remorseful and broken soul.

All this is because of you.. a man pleads for your love, but all you do is hurt him and give him tears, instead of abundant love which he deserves.

He must have sensed my presence, cause he turned around to be met by my eyes, which were welling up with tears of my own. He walked towards me in two long strides and stood an inch away from me, just looking at me with a meaningful expression.

His expression was sad, like he had lost something that meant the world to him.

I did not have the courage to look him in the eye. 

He seemed to be aware and lifted my face with his finger so that I looked directly into those brown eyes that were so beautiful and captivating.

I felt my heart clench in pain, as another tear rolled down his cheek. Little did we both know that I was the cause of his immense pain.

"I-I. "I stuttered, unable to form the words.

He looked earnestly, patiently as I gathered courage.

"I-I accept you as you are." I finally got the words out, that felt like a weight in my chest.

He looked stunned as he processed.

I looked at him with utmost earnesty, as I waited for his reaction.

"You what?" He asked again.

"I accept you for who you are."

His lips broke into the brightest grin I had ever seen. It somehow lifted my spirits, that I caused him the joy.

His expression turned grim as he thought.

"How can you accept a monster like me?"

"Cause I love you."

"Are you sure about this? Cause you will be stuck with me forever cause I don't plan on letting you go."

I knew I was sure, I wouldn't regret it, cause I loved him.

"I am. I love you. I am in love with you."

A smile a genuine one, made its way to his lips as he kissed me. 

"I love you too. I will never stop loving you, that's a promise."

This is what I felt like to be truly in love. Magic. Just pure magic...
