He stepped outside taking in the fresh morning air as he wondered the woods ,Sage had finally let him out of his sight, There was no sign of Henry or Dahlia.
He tried to recall more of his dream but to no avail what did his death have to do with the throne, who was the other person in the room? he found himself pacing back and forth when he felt a hand take him out of the trance, even her touch had become familiar to him and her presence intoxicating
''Why didn't you tell me ?"
she said in a low voice
",why didn't you tell me you were dying?"
''Does it matter anymore'', he turned around and began to walk away.
she was the last person he wanted to see right now, is what his trying to convince himself.
Dahlia felt a little hurt watching as Datura barely looked at her and just walked away
''So you're just going to leave?
''Why do care? She been purposely ignoring him for days ?
''I don't
''Then Goodbye dahlia". He continued to walk away he was being cold and she did understand why.
''At least answer my question", she called back
'' I t doesn't matter " he shrugged
''It matters to me "
He stopped in his tracks frustrated
''Dahlia I don't understand you he let out a bitter laugh it's clear you what nothing to do with me.
''that's not true", she defended
''Really? Because one minute you show that were friends and that you care about me and the moment you find out I'm dying you pretend that I don't even exist!''
''Datura that's not-
"its fine", he cut her off, I got the message clearly''. He wasn't willing to listen to her and she was starting to get angry too
''At least look at me when you talk to me!" She said in a tense voice .
he turned around and he looked at her those piercing blue eyes filled with anger and frustration mostly grief.
the way he looked at her was like a hit to the chest and it got worse after what he said next
''what do you want from dahlia?"
''at least tell me why? Why you kept it a secret from me I mean everyone else knew! ''.
''Because you made forget, his face soften as he spoke you don't think I notice the way they look at me? Sage and Henry ,
they look at me like I'm already gone like their holding on to what's not lost yet. But then you look at be differently
when, you made be forget about it all the world didn't matter nothing mattered when I' was with you with you Dahlia ''
'' And now?" she whispered
''There is no now I'm not just something you can toy around with, he said recentfully "I'm an actual person dahlia I have feelings. It's not like you care anyways do you?''
He looked at her those beautiful light brown eyes tormenting him and her darks curls dancing in the wind as she stood .while he was falling apart inside.
''I didn't mean for it to be like that I'm sorry, you're not even giving me a chance to explain myself,''. the truth was the thought made her scared and angry
He didn't want to hear it he didn't want to hear how she thought there was point talking to someone who was already gone a waste of time, a waste of memory he wasn't someone worth building something with he wasn't someone worth loving he couldn't hear her say that to him,
''I think its best we both forget, you forget me I forget you, it will save you the time,'' he turned around began to walk away again
She scoffed "so that's ? You hate me now!"
He didn't hate her he could never hate her " I just finishing what you stated " he said back"
''Fine go then go !" She yelled back you can just go ahead and die for all I care, I never have and I never will! Tears began to build in her eyes.
He stopped at those words and murmured ''I never expect anything more '', and then he left.
She had to leave she had to get away a far away as possible she ran into the woods as she wiped away her tears.
She felt someone yank her hand and pull her back ''Are you serious!
''what is it now Sage! She yelled
''Only you would be cruel enough to make a dying man so Angry in his final days! ''
''You know what Sage ?maybe you would actually get to know him, if you actually treated him like a normal person!
She gasped "I Dare you!" she seethed through her teeth
''let it go Sage!'' Henry called back and Dahlia yanked her hand away and stormed off
