☙ Zoe's POV ☙
I step aside as Roman walks in. Softly closing the door and avoiding eyes contact I sit back on my bed. Playing with my fingers as I feel the bed sink. " I'm not suicidal " my voice low still looking at my fingers. I feel his brown eyes on me, eying me for some clue . " I know what you guys think " my eyes finally looking at him.
He looks at me for a quick second then his eyes go back to his pants as he licks his lips. I'm fine isI really want to say. But I'll be lying through my teeth. I just want to dust myself off and move on with my life but I know that won't happen in a few days. Not with something like this.
" I'm just-" I try to collect words to describe how I am but right now. I don't even know how I am. I look back at my fingers, taking a deep breath calming my beating heart. " it's just a hard subject to swallow, it's not like I can say I'm great" I let out a small laugh as I wish it was that easy. I shrug my shoulders as his eyes are connected to me again.
" but I'm not " a tear leaves as I quickly wipe it away, hating the fact that this is getting to me. But the strongest warriors need to fall sometimes, right? " I want to be the Zoe you know and love. The little ray of sunshine but I can't fool myself into believing that I'm fine and break myself even more "
Tears were falling at this point as I let my emotions out. Get it off my chest cause keeping it there won't do anything to help me. Roman moves around as I feel him next to me. He wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me to his chest. Not holding anything back, I let myself cry.
Even though I hate emotions, this will make me grow as a person. Make me be a better me. Kind but not to the point where I let people take advantage of me. He rubs my back, letting me cry freely. I knew that me being like this was killing him. It was probably killing everyone that actually cared about me.
" we'll get through this together " his voice was calm but I know he's dying inside seeing me like this. A broken mess. I nod wiping away the remaining tears. " we love you zo " he lefts my chin up so I'm looking into his loving eyes " I love you " His voice a whisper as he leans in and softly kisses me.
I kiss him back and put my hand on his chest. His lips soft and warm. His pace slow, loving. Inviting like a warm blanket. One hand cupping my face as the other was gripping my waist. Pulling me closer to him. His body, my shield. I feel safe protected.
Every second his warm lips connect with mine it's heaven, sending a new wave of love through me. A wave of protection. I pull away from the passionate make-out session to catch my breath as I was breathing hard and so was he. Our heads against each other.
