Savannah's P.O.V

We all were sitting on the couch quietly watching the Endgame, really engrossed into what was happening. I tried paying attention to the movie but my mind kept on wandering back to what happened in the room barely an hour ago. I don't know how he can be so calm after...

"Annah! Are you okay? You've been zoning out since we've got here."

I smile lightly towards her "Yeah, I'm totally fine. Just got a lot on mind, need to get back to work there are bills laying on the counter waiting to be paid you know."

She gave me a sad smile "I know its been hard on you since your mom passed away but you need to let loose sometimes Annah. Focus on the movie, focus is key in life."

I took a deep breath and nodded

"Guys, please stop talking, this is an important scene." Chance said groaning

Both of us rolled our eyes at him seriously I don't know how Blaze put up with him.

"I'm going to start making some dinner for us," I said getting up walking to the kitchen truth is I just wanted to get away from Blaze needing space from him. Taking in some deep breaths and begin collecting the ingredients I needed for the shrimp pasta.

"Trying to avoid me?" Closing my eyes tightly I try to get my heartbeat under control and turn around to look at him.

"No, why would I be avoiding you?"

He smirked leaning against the closed kitchen door "I don't know you tell me Savy."

. . . Flashback. . . 

"Why? Why can't we be together?" Cage said getting frustrated with me pulling his hair a bit.

"I can't have you keep secrets from me, Cage. I don't even know what the truth is half of the time. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have even told me about you fighting if I didn't keep on pushing."

"Lying? This is what it's about really?" I nod but it was more than that it was me trying to avoid the fact that I may love him more than I should. I would do anything for him all he had to do was ask. "I'll tell you everything from now on Angel, please don't leave me though."

I shook my head with tears threatening to fall out "No, you won't. You know that. We've been together for six months now and half of the time I still don't know where you are and I don't care about that because I trust you. But I know nothing about your family, or your past other than that you got into fighting at a young age and that you had no choice."

He took a step forward making me take two back " Don't do that please, don't hug me, don't kiss me, don't be around me. Lets just... "I take a deep breath "Stay away from each other."

He clenched his jaw trying to control his anger "You know what I think?"

"What?" I whisper back

"You are trying to avoid me, you are trying to avoid us and you are trying to avoid your feelings towards me because they are too strong for you to handle. If you love me Savannah, then you don't need to be scared because I will always see through you. I will always see through you trying to push me away. Being scared is okay but why are you trying to avoid me?"

I clench my jaw looking away from "I am not trying to avoid you. Why would I try to avoid you?"

He pulled me closer lifting my chin up and looking straight into my eyes "I don't know, you tell me Savy."

"I'm scared okay? I'm scared that one day you're going to wake up and not love me anymore. I'm scared that you are going to get sick of my craziness and constant reassurance that you aren't leaving me. I'm scared that you are going to get fed up with my mood swings. I'm scared that you are going to see me the way I see myself. Just please, please don't leave me alone."

Cage smiled lightly at me "Baby, I'm not going anywhere and no matter what happens I will never ever leave you until it's in my hands I will stay by your side. I promise, but you have to promise me something in return."

"Anything"

"Don't hate me."

I looked at him confused "That'll never happen, I love you Charming and I always will."

"Promise me."

"I promise I will never hate you, Cage Charming Levi," I said leaning up to give him a kiss.

. . . Present . . .

Clearing my throat I turn back to cutting the shrimp into small pieces "I am not avoiding you there's no reason. Why aren't you watching the movie with them?"

"Ellie told me to come and bond with you since its weird having her cousin and best friend fight all the time."

"Well, then could you open those pasta sauce cans for me?"

He chuckled walking over to the island, my body was hyper-aware of everything he was doing, ready to run away whenever he came a step closer to me.

"Stop acting like I am going to attack you Savy, I am a very sanitary person I won't do anything in the kitchen with you."

Turning around again with a knife in my hand I walk towards him "I have a knife in my hand so it is not a wise choice to piss me off Blaze. Leave me alone we can bond some other time."

He smiled at me and quickly turned me around with the knife at my neck this time "That was really hot Savy, total turn but what I'm about to do is a little bit inappropriate so why don't you just calmly walk with me towards the kitchen door."

"Why?" I blurt out

He pushed the knife closer to my neck so I could feel the cold metal hitting against my skin "To lock the door." I began struggling in his arms but he tightened them "Don't struggle, the knife might cut in."

"Then let me go. What happened was a mistake nothing, and I mean nothing like that will happen again."

Blaze chuckled lightly and removed the knife pushing me away "What happened was a mistake and it's the reason you are avoiding me. I just needed to rile you up to bring you on the topic."

Taking a deep breath I glare at him "There's nothing to talk about Blaze. So help me if you want to otherwise go and watch the movie. I am starving."

"What you're not calling me Cage?"

"You may have lied to me about your name and identity Blaze but you aren't the same person that I knew a year ago. My Cage wouldn't have held a knife up to my neck like that, wouldn't try to force me to do anything I didn't want to and he wouldn't have left me."

"Please, I didn't force myself onto in the bedroom."

"That's not what I'm talking about Blaze. The person I spent two years of my life with isn't the person who is standing in front of me. Right now it's just Blaze Zander, a cocky boxer standing in front of me. Not Cage Charming Levi, a caring, loving boxer who would do anything for me. He isn't here."

He let out an emotionless chuckle "What is that supposed to mean? I am Cage and Blaze there isn't a difference."

"What it means is the reason why I am avoiding you is that I have accepted that unless you want to behave like Cage did there is no reason for me to talk to you or associate with you. If you want me to listen to you, trust you show me Cage, not Blaze. Now if you excuse me I have to cook dinner."

There was dead silence in the kitchen, only the sound of my knife was heard for a couple of minutes until he left slamming the kitchen door closed making me jump in shock. What I said was a bit harsh but it was the truth if he wanted me to listen and trust him he needed to show me that he hadn't changed, that the Cage that I loved and knew was still somewhere inside of him.

Blaze's P.O.V

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Be Cage, not Blaze? Their both just different sides of me. She is so infuriating sometimes. I left the kitchen slamming the door closed and slumped down on the bean bag.

"Please don't tell me both of you fought again?" Ellie said groaning

"Whatever Ellie, we didn't fight just had a small misunderstanding don't worry about it. We just need some space right now."

She rolled her eyes at me and began watching the moving again.

The 'Cage side' of me cannot be allowed to emerge again, which means what Savy wishes cannot come to pass. I need her to trust me, even if it will get me in serious trouble. I just want to switch off my thoughts sometimes. Stop thinking and turn it off. Give up worrying and live my life the way I want to, regardless of what other people think or the results. However, as they say, if your heart is pure, even fate will submit to you.
