Media ---> B.o.B – Don't Let Me Fall

=== === ===

I picked up my cracked cell phone from the floor with a growl and decided that after hours of debating; I would call him.

The phone rang a couple times before it stopped. I knew he didn't hang up this time; I could hear his heavy breathing from the other side of the phone. I sucked in a breath of air and trying to figure out how this would go down. How can I explain it to him without him getting mad?

I vision blurred and I held in my sobs. “B-Bryce?” I winced as my voice wavered through the line.

“Who else would it be?” Bryce gruffly questioned back and silently waited for me to talk.

“I-I... I wanted to see you. I know that I'm leaving soon and at that you're mad at me because of it, but-”

“Evie, I already told you to never call me again. If you're calling me because you wanted to apologize for your stupid lies, then you can forget about it!” His voice bellowed into the phone and tears finally slipped down my face. I licked my chapped and now salty lips.

“Please. I want to see you before I leave. I might never see you again! I lo-” My cries were cut short by his yells again.

“It's a good thing you'll never see me again! Because that way, I won't ever see you again either! I don't want to go through this. Your lies were enough. What would happen when I came to see you go? What do you expect to happen?”

My silence answered his question as I fought to keep in a loud sob. I didn't want him to see hear me cry. He'll accuse me of faking it; I know it. I also didn't want him to think that it was his fault for making me upset. Bryce didn't do nothing. I did. I ruined our friendship- our close relationship, that seemed like we were more than friends.

No actually, we were. I knew deep down that Bryce was supposed to be more. Day and night after that night that we met each other, the pang in my chest was real. Love at first sight? I didn't know it until a few days ago when Bryce found out the truth. The look in his eyes and expression said it all; he was crushed. But it wasn't just him that was hurt.

“After this Evie, I'm going to change my number. You would think that after all these months that we had known each other that you would share your secrets with me and always tell me the real truth and whole truth. You only gave me a fraction Eve, and that wasn't enough. You didn't think that I would find out sooner? If you were leaving today, would you tell me that it was some kind of vacation and then never come back?” Bryce scoffed and I could hear him shuffle around. Like he was going somewhere. The slam of a door confirmed it.

“I'm sorry. I really am! I already told you. I was going to tell you the truth and... I was going to ask if you could come. It's not my fault for being who I am. Telling you would get us both killed, but now that you already know... I just need you with me.” That was it. I couldn't handle the restraints that held in my sobs and cries; they burst without warning.

“Eve.” Bryce groaned and then his voice got softer with every loud long cry I had. “Evie... When I first met you; I thought I was seeing an angel. Your hair was like wisps of sunshine and your eyes sparkle every time I make eye contact with them. Your figure is a perfect hour-glass and your skin is a soft as silk. But then, you lied. The truth hurts Eve and you lying to me ruins everything about you.”

I shook my head even though he couldn't see it. “No, no. I didn't- I didn't mean it. Honest!” I croaked, dropping to my knees. I already knew I was losing the battle of getting him back or ever seeing him again. I knew that once I would board the plane in a few hours, I would never come back. And Bryce never traveled. I knew it because he never lied. Unlike me.

“How do I know you're being honest?” He snapped.

“Please, I am!” I pleaded, hopelessly bawling my eyes out.

“You have to believe me Bryce... I love you.” I whispered and just like that I heard a click. The dial tone was the only thing I could hear through my loud sobs that followed after that. I don't think he heard what I said last, but did it matter. I had to leave now to get to the airport in time for my flight.

I stood wobbly on my feet and tried to cherish my empty home for as long as I could. I could almost see Bryce and I running down my staircase to go into the game room for some new C.O.D. Then, I saw Bryce and I laughing on a non-existent couch in my now vacant living room.

I looked around one more time to reminisce and sighed in anguish. I pushed my hair out of my face and wiped all tears that still lingered with my shirt. It was time to let go.

Time to move on and forget that I once had a person in my life that I loved and never had the real chance to tell them. I would never be able to come back to this life that I had here in the city and I would never see my love again. The fact that I was leaving knowing that he probably hated me now was great.

I grabbed the two of my bags and walked up to my front door.

Five months ago, Bryce was carrying me through that same door with a drunken little me in his arms. I decided to hit the club to celebrate the new move and he was the guy that asked me to dance. I was already drunk at the time, but he didn't know.

I smiled sadly and shook my head. I was already missing Bryce. Everyday, we would hangout. There were many places that we'd meet and join up to have fun. Sometimes, I'd be so tired that I'd sleep at his apartment or he would sleep over here. If only I had told him I fell in love with him sooner, or maybe told him the truth.

It was too late.

I ran out of my apartment after locking it. I jumped into my blue rental car and rode all the way to the airport. Staying in this city any second longer would cause my head and heart to ache even more. My car screeched to a stop once I reached my destination and I hopped out, grabbing my bags.

“Goodbye Los Angeles.” I whispered and blew a kiss to the clouds that I would usually be staring at from my balcony in my now old apartment. Things won't be the same for me anymore. Now that I've experienced something I never had before, my view on the world... was different. At one point I felt complete until my whole relationship with Bryce crashed.

They say what goes up, must come down.

And it did. My life before two days ago was a fairy tale. I was the princess and Bryce was my prince charming. We had everything but a true relationship. Sometimes on accident, we would kiss. We didn't mean to, because we had both been under the influence. Yet, it happened twice. In reality, there are never such things as happy endings.

But I wish there was.

I sat there in one of the many chairs that were crowded by people that were also waiting for their flight to be called. My knee bounced up and down nervously and my hands were entwined with each other. I would breath in and out so I could keep myself in control. Part of me wanted to take this flight and forget about the life I had here. It seemed to me that it was all a mistake that shouldn't have happened. Then... There was a part of me that didn't want to leave. That same part of me wanted to run to Bryce's apartment right now and beg him for forgiveness. Screw this flight. It said.

I bit my lip and I could almost hear my walls crumbling- brick after brick. I can't go back. I was already here and I made a decision. Bryce made his decision too. He didn't want to see my face and he didn't want to hear my voice.

He hated me.

“Flight 240A, you're plane has arrived.” I heard on the speaker of the airport section I was in and scrambled to my feet. That was me. That was my flight. It was time for me to go.

I reluctantly took one step after step to the gates that would lead me to the plane. I sniffed, still feeling the after affects of bawling my eyes out earlier and I even cried a little in the bathroom thirty minutes ago. My hands tightened on my bags and I finally made it to a long line of other passengers that were about to board.

I don't know what it was, but it was something. My heart suddenly started to pound faster than it already was and my breathing quickened. I shifted my body onto my other foot, not knowing why I was feeling this way. Why did I suddenly-

“Evie! Evie wait!” Hearing the sound of his familiar voice almost had me bursting into another fit of tears. I bit my lip and swirled around, not caring if I bumped into other people or not.

I saw him running up to me as I sprinted his way. I took in Bryce's appearance; his dark slightly long hair was disheveled at the top. His shirt was tight, which allowed everyone to see how muscled he really was. Bryce's dark jeans fit his long strong legs perfectly and when my eyes went back up, I met his forest green eyes. I instantly dropped my bags and was about to pounce on him, when my mind abruptly clicked- I stopped from doing anything rash. Bryce stopped also, and his face read the same expression as mine.

I didn't know what to do, because I didn't know what he was doing here. In the corner of my eye, I could see that the passengers had started to board the plane. Luckily, the line was long so I had some time to spare to- finish business with Bryce. Possibly for good. I grimaced at the thought, but that's where this situation was pointed to. It was bound to end that way.

“I tried calling you; I didn't get a response.” Bryce explained with sad eyes. My own eyes were filled with shock, and I stood still because what he was about to say was not planned. “I realize now that I need you Eve. One secret- a big secret- should not be the end of us.” He gestured and with every word he moved closer.

“I know you lied, but you told me you were sorry. I could hear it in your voice how sincere you were. I don't know if you told me any other lies, but even if you did... I forgive you.” Bryce smiled and I tried to smile, but mine wavered with countless emotions.

Once Bryce was close enough, he pulled me into his arms tightly. I rested my head in one of his shoulders and started to calm down. Just one touch of Bryce's could blow me away. Every time I touched him I was shocked with these weird tingles all around my body. But it was only from him. No one else made me feel the way Bryce did.

“Evie... You aren't the only one keeping a secret. I am too.” Bryce smiled, looking deeply into my eyes. “You're a werewolf, but I'm a Lycan. I tried to deny it myself and I understand why you kept that you were a werewolf from me. I'm sorry.”

I only grinned from hearing Bryce's moment of truth. “Bryce... I'm in love with you.” There. I said it. And it felt really good!

“I was just about to say the same thing.” He grinned and he took that moment to bend down and put his lips my own. Immediately, sparks flew over my body, warming me on the inside. A hole in my heart that I never knew was there, was suddenly filled. Our first real kiss; one that wasn't when both of us were dead drunk. I felt like I could feel all of his emotions: love, passion, lust and happiness. One kiss and I felt like I was on top of the world. “I love you too.” Bryce muttered in the kiss. I would've pinched myself by now to see if this was all real or not, but something already told me this was.

“Wow.” We both whispered on each other lips and moved apart slightly.

We both stared at each other for what seemed like forever, but was only a minute. I wrapped my arms around Bryce's neck and stared longingly into his eyes.“Is it strange to think that we were made for each other?” I pondered out loud, not meaning for Bryce to hear it.

“Like soul mates?” Bryce asked cheekily, but his eyes glinted at the mention of it.

I smirked, “ Yes. Like Soul Mates.”
