@wortorn asked: i love you. 👀👀👀👀👀
the words take her aback, sounding deafening in the previous silence. he doesn’t ; that’s the first thought that comes to mind. she’s not the kind of girl someone chooses. raven hopes she is, or at least hoped, before she was proved wrong. he shouldn’t ; being the second. loving her is a death sentence. the last thing she wants is to be his demise.
‘ bellamy- ’ breath catches in her throat, forming a lump that stops her from speaking further. his gaze is heavy on her but all her eyes focus is the earth bellow them. the damn ring’s windows and their late night conversations that brought up these words. ‘ i should- ’ raven gets up harshly from her sitting stop on the floor. a little too harshly, causing her leg to hurt but it barely registers when his words are stuck in her head, repeating in an endless loop.
despite the sudden movement though, she doesn’t leave the room. inner struggle; raven can be as selfish as she is selfless and right now what matters the most is guarding her heart, not bellamy’s feelings. but she forces herself, brown eyes finally find his own, saying more than her mouth ever could right now. i need you to be sure because i love you too.
