"So, you haven't eaten, slept, drink, or worked in the week that I laid here?" Elizabeth asked as she stared up at Race.

    "Basically." Race replied as he looked back at her

    "Oh god Race,"

    "What?"

    "Seriously!"

    "Yeah, seriously, I stayed in this room for a week, with you." As Race finished, Elizabeth moved out of his embrace to stare at him in the face.

    "For, me?" Elizabeth asked with wide eyes and a small smile on her face.

    "Of course." Race said as he shifted closer to her. He truly did love her and it hurt him that she didn't trust his honesty and loyalty one hundred percent. "I love you Elizabeth, can't you see that! I almost killed a dude twice for you!"

    "I..um," Elizabeth wanted to say something but she couldn't think of anything to say. She did love him but she didn't want to fully trust another guy after the years of abuse from Jonathan. She knew that Race was a kind, loving, gentle person and that he acted tough for everyone but her. "I, I"

    "You what?" Race asked with a confused look on his face.

    "I love you." Elizabeth replied as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She could feel him tense as she did so. She quickly pulled away. She thought that the kiss might have been too much and that she might have moved too quickly. Elizabeth looked into his eyes and saw a mix of confusion and passion burn with in him. The two sat there for a while, staring into each other's eyes in complete silence.

    Race was in shock. He knew that he didn't want her to pull away from the kiss, but he felt different, almost like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders. He was mad that he didn't kiss her sooner. He shifted over towards Elizabeth and put his hand gently on the side of her face. "I love you too." He wrapped his hands around her waist and puller her close to him and kissed her. She melted into his arms and rewrapped her arms around his neck. The two felt inseparable, like they were the last two people on Earth. They were enjoying every second of the kiss, until there was a knock on the door. The pair felt startled and separated. "Race! Race you in there?" It was Jack.

    "Uh," Race paused and stood up to open the door, "Yeah, yeah I'm in here." Race finished as he opened the door and stepped out.

    "She up?" Jack asked

    "Yeah." Race replied

    "How's she doing?"

    "Good."

    "How are you doing?"

    "Fine. Alright, bye." Race finished as he turned to walk back into the room.

    "Wait, Race." Jack said as he grabbed ahold of Race's arm "There's food on the table you two should eat something. Also I'm headed out."He let go of race's arm.

    "Thanks." Race said as he walked back into the room. He saw Elizabeth sitting on the bed staring at the clock. "Hey, food is ready. Want to eat?" Race asked as he stood in the doorway. Elizabeth nodded and went to stand up. She started to walk slowly but her legs were shaking as she did. Race rushed over to Elizabeth in time to catch her as she began to fall. "Gotchya!" Race said with a smirk. He then swept up Elizabeth's feet and they walked out to the kitchen.
