How could he do this to me? How could he? That bastard! I felt the tears well up in my eyes and they began falling like an unstoppable waterfall. A waterfall of my sadness. All of the stuff he said to me. All lies. I had to get out. I had to talk to someone. The only person that would know what to do. I ran outside. The cool Florida air felt good on my skin. I just kept running to my destination. ~*~
When the visions around you, Bring tears to your eyes And all that surround you, Are secrets and lies I'll be your strength, I'll give you hope, Keeping your faith when it's gone The one you should call, Was standing here all along.. ~*~
I didn't bother knocking. I just ran inside. I ran to see him. There he was. Standing there looking confused. He looked deep in my eyes and his arms outstretched. I ran into them and held onto him not wanting to let go. My sobs grew louder he held me. My tears stained his sweater. But he didn't seem to care. He just comforted me, in the best way. He held onto me. Which was exactly what I needed. I needed to be with someone who cared about me.
~*~ And I will take You in my arms And hold you right where you belong Till the day my life is through This I promise you ~*~
He backed away a little and used his thumb to wipe away the tears staining my cheeks. He felt so bad for her. How could someone put her through such hurtful pain? How could someone hurt such a beautiful soul? So delicate. So perfect. He wanted to make all her hurt and pain go away. He would take it for her in a second. He hated seeing her like this. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. Then he spoke. "He did it again. He cheated on you." He said more of a statement then a question. He knew her all to well to understand what was wrong with her. I looked him in the eyes and nodded my head. "Nick I'm sick of it. I can't take it anymore. I can't be with him anymore. He put me through too much pain. Michael and I are over with. I don't love him. I can't love him. Not anymore." I looked in his ocean blue eyes. He was the one I loved. The one I always loved. The one I would never stop loving. And I was the same to him. But why weren't we together? Too much pain now. Too many broken promises from the past. I wouldn't be able to find the strength anymore. It would hurt too much. "I'll never hurt you, Amber." He said. It was like he was reading my mind or something. He could always sense what was wrong with me. He could always see it in my eyes. He was so special to me.
~*~ I've loved you forever, In lifetimes before And I promise you never... Will you hurt anymore I give you my word I give you my heart ~*~
"I can't take anymore pain, Nick. I can't take anymore broken promises. I don't want to hurt again. I can't bare it." I told him looking away. I can't look him in the eyes. I'll get lost in them. He'll know how I really feel. That I really wanna be with him. How can I? Can I trust someone the way I trusted Michael? Nick held my hands at waist level and moved my chin so we were facing each other. "I promise you, now and forever, that I will love you, and I will never hurt you. I wouldn't be able to hurt you."
This is a battle we've won And with this vow, Forever has now begun...
I looked in his eyes only to find the truth. He was speaking from the heart. I could tell his words were pure and sincere. I let myself fall back in his arms and clung on to him
~*~ Just close your eyes (close your eyes) Each loving day (each loving day) I know this feeling won't go away (no..) Till the day my life is through This I promise you.. ~*~
Nick held me again. "Amber, I will never hurt you. You have to believe me. I can't stand seeing you in pain. It's like a stab in my heart. The pain is unbearable. I love you so much that I could never even think of hurting you." He told her. She'd been through all the pain in the world. And she always came to him. The person she could trust and the person who could trust her back. Losing relatives, losing boyfriends, being cheated on, being lied to, everything. Amber had been through it all. And she didn't deserve it. She deserved someone who would care for her and be with her and hold her.
~*~ Over and over I fall When I hear you call Without you in my life baby I just wouldn't be living at all... ~*~I backed away from him and could see tears in his eyes. But why? "Why are you crying Nick?" I choked out. I've never seen him cry before. It was very weird. Nick wiped the tears away. "I just can't believe how much pain you've been through. I can't believe how much people have hurt you and all you've been through. You don't deserve this. You don't deserve all the heartache." A tear rolled down his cheek again.
~*~ And I will take You in my arms And hold you right where you belong Till the day my life is through This I promise you baby ~*~
"I love you." I said with tears forming. "I've always loved you Nick. I've never stopped. I will never stop. You're my everything. And I will always love you. I promise." I took a step closer and put my hands on the back of his neck. I brought his face toward mine, and our lips touched. The kiss was filled with emotion. Pure passion and love was what it felt like. It felt all so right. It felt so long awaited. They both have wanted this for so long. And finally they had it. They would be sharing so many more. But this one is special.
~*~ Just close your eyes Each loving day I know this feeling won't go away Every word I say is true This I promise you ~*~
The long, enduring, kiss ended. We looked in each other's eyes trying to find true feelings. But all we found was true love. And that's all we would ever find. That's what we promised each other.
~*~ Every word I say is true This I promise you Ooh, I promise you... ~*~
The End
