- Yes, I told you a ton of things. Maybe half of them were true. - He admitted. He walked toward her, and stood up, beside her, though she was sitting. He doubted whether he should sit or not. - Listen, I'm not used to deal with people like you. I'm british, what can i say? I've been taught to be civilized, or whatever, and if I use violence, it must be for good. - He remembered the feeling he had when he wanted to punch her face. - You really freak me out. I didn't get why you behave that way. then, you just spit it out and make me feel like a funky crap. I hope you're glad for it. - David saw her half smiling. - You said my words were pretty tough. You're right, they were tough even to myself. I'm... I apoligize, okay? You may take my apologies or not, it's your bussiness, but I'll try to calm my poor conscience, who's been like screaming because of you. -
He stared at the clean, glistening water.
- Your eyes never lie, Laurel. - David told her. - I admire that of you. And the fact that you always reply, and you never give up... excepting when you started run--- anyway, you never give up. Even though you know this is real, you still keep on your mind this is a stupid dream. Well, you dno't give up on that either, but it's wrong. This is real. And I don't think i can go back home leaving you here. I would never let that happen. Oh, and I never meant to say you're a "girl" in a mean way. Girls and boys are pretty much alike, excepting the obvious differences. But one can't live without each other. That's the reason. -
She didn't move. He died to know what she was thinking.
- And well... - he sighed. - I don't think you should envy me. My mother's divorced. She's pretty much a woman with a weird character. But she's amazing. You might remind me a lil bit of her. I never see dad. He just forgot me, but that's not a reason I go on fighting everybody, because... as i don't have his love, i try to create my own and give it to the others. It's not easy, I tell you. It'll never be easy. You just noticed how harsh i exploded with you. Well, I wasn't feeling love in that moment - He grimaced funnily. - And Tom and Katie are my only bests friends. Joy's been my girl since a long time... but things are weird now. Pretty much like a rutine... - He was opening his heart... he had to be careful.
- Anyway... just... wanted you back. I'd really apreciatte if you culd come back with us. We need you. You were brought here with some purpose. I take back what i said about "I don't know why Aslan would mind you" becasue, if I was Him, I wouldn't think it twice about making you come here to rescue his family, Narnia. -
He sighed, trembling, but he felt relieved.
- OKay, that's it. -
He walked slowly back, with the little hope she might at least heard one of his words.
