SUPPOSED DEAD

Chapter 7: A New True Love

{Storybrooke}
"It's hopeless...." Isabella whimpered standing up from the desk and flopping onto her fit-for-a-princess bed. Henry chuckled stretching out his arms as he looked around the room. They were in Isabella newly redecorated room on her fathers ship. The two were studying for finals. "Come on it's not that bad...." Henry smiled encouragingly towards the depressed girl. "I'm never gonna pass the math portion though" she complained. "I've been studying for hours and I still can't do it..." "I think your just too stressed out about it..." Henry suggested. She only frowned. "Love I'll be going soon..." Killian called from above. The two made their way from under deck. Upon surfacing Isabella had slipped only to land on the back of a confused Henry. "Ow" Henry groaned. Isabella got up quickly mumbling a sorry. "I still caught you." He winked as the made their way towards Killian. "You look handsome Daddy." Isabella smiled adjusting killians tie. "Why thank you love.now are you sure you'll be okay here alone tonight?" He asked concerned. "Of course daddy I'll be fine just enjoy your date with Mrs. Swan." She smiled up at her father. Her hazel eyes melted his heart. It was her first time staying alone over night but she hadn't feared she spent many nights alone before when she was presumed dead. "But bring me back a cookie." She added giggling. "Anything for my princess..." He smiled hugging her tightly. He didn't let to for a while. "It's okay daddy I'll be fine." She whispered in his ear. He nodded. "I just... I don't want to ever loose you again." He mumbled. "You won't I'm safe here." She smiled reassuringly. Her father smiled back. "right then Henry you want a ride home." Henry nodded before going to grab his things. Isabella kissed his cheek before he left and returned to her room. She stared at her now empty room feeling suddenly lonely. Walking over to her vanity her fingers ran over a small hair pin. One that Peter had given her. "I love you Isabella." His voice popped into her mind and she imagined him saying that as he dropped her to her supposedly death. Tear began to fall again as she pinned her hair back with She remembered that day that had once been so special. The day she had felt the most safe in his arms never would she think ever that the boy who loved her could ever even think of killing her. "He never caught me..." She thought laying on her bed. She shut her eyes and began to him Peters tune from his pipe and drifted to sleep.
She dreamt of the day they confessed their love and how it turned to night. Peter was showing her the constellations. She could feel his arm warmed around hers as he pressed his cheeks to hers telling her of Orion's Belt. The way his secure grip made her feel how his voice sent butterflies up her stomach. Their legs were intertwined and her back was pressed again this chest as they stared up at the clear night sky each star seem to twinkle just for her. She smiled brightly looking up at Peter. But his expression had changed his bright green eyes grew dark. "I lied..." He whispered pushing Isabella off him. "POOr innocent Izzy" he taunted. "Do you really think I could love you.." With that he pushed her off the cliff.
Isabella woke up breathing heavily. It was late in the night her room was pitch dark the only light coming from her small phone next to her. She reached for is flipping it open. "call Henry." She said in desperation. The phone did nothing. "How does this work..." She grumbled pressing random buttons to find Henry's. Suddenly thunder sounded through the sky and Isabella noticed a storm was going on outside. "Pleaseeeee pick up..." She whispered to the phone. "Isabella..." Henry answered groggily. "Henry?" She asked happy to hear his voice. "What's wrong?" He asked. Isabella chocked back a cry. The nightmare plus the storm plus being alone had really spooked her. "I..." She stumbled. "I think I'm falling..." She finally said. "I'll be there soon." Henry answered she could here him start to get ready before the line cut off. She waited in her room for what seemed to be hours. The darkness wrapped around her making it feel like a suffocating trap. She began to cry, sob even. She was just too scared to determine any sense of logic. She held her pillow tightly sending silent sobs into it. "Isabella?" After some time she heard Henry's comforting voice. She looked over to make out the figure of a wet Henry standing in her door way. "You okay?" He asked sitting on the bed beside her. She only shook her head no in response. Henry watched as her curls whipped around her head as she shook. "Hey it's okay... I'm here okay I caught you see" He cooed wrapping her in his arms. Isabella squeezed him back tightly. She cried into his chest shivering against the cold. "It's okay Isabella your safe now." He repeated till she settled down. "Better?" She nodded sheepishly. Henry got up for a moment but Isabella tugged on his hand. "Stay... Please" she pleaded. Henry nodded taking off his jacket and wet jeans. He crawled under the comforter with Isabella. Her wrapped his arms around her small waist and allowed her to cuddle into a ball next to him. Her head laying just below his neck. They laid there for sometime in complete silence. Their heavy breaths matching eachother as they enjoyed the closeness of one another. Isabella had scooted up her head now laying on the pillow besides Henry. HerHer brights hazel eyes still beautiful as ever in the dark met his dark eyes. Her filled with an unsettling fear and His with the deepest of sympathy wanting nothing more than to protect her. His arm still lay Over her body protectively. She brought her hand up to move his wet hair away from his forhead. She smiled softly not daring to break the gaze. Her hand fell down the bridge of his nose to his lips her fingers softly brushing over them. Henry held his breath. His heart was beating a million miles per minute he swore in this moment he felt more alive than ever. Her hand continued to fall resting on his chest above his heart. She could feel how fast his heart was beating hers must've been the same. Slowly she scooted her head closer to Henry's so close that her forehead had rested against hers. "You caught me..." She whispered her warm breath falling on Henry's cheek. "I always do.." He replied his lips micrometers from hers. Isabella felt her heart rate slow down. The storm outside seemed to be non existent everything had stopped and all that mattered was this moment this moment here where she was in the arms of a boy who would never betray her a boy who truly cared whoD always catch her. The secure hold he had on her seemed to make her heart stop. The way his eyes fluttered from hers to her lips. How she could feel his soft warm breaths against her skin. Their legs intertwined as Henry pulled her body even closer. Now that seemed to be no more available space between them. Except for that between their lips. His soft pinks lips. The lips that kissed her tears away the lips she craved to hear her name followed by three simple words. She brought her hand back up to his face cupping it. Placing her thumb on his lips she stared deeply into his dark brown eyes. "I love you Henry Daniel Mills, I love you and I can not think of a more perfect moment then this I love how safe you make me feel I love how your always looking out for me, I love the color of your eyes, and the tip of your cute nose, I love how my body fits perfectly against yours, I love how your always the hero, I love the way you hand feels in mine, I love that you'll always catch me." She whispered. Henry stared back at her in complete awe. Her soft lashes batted against her eyelids. The slight pink against her cheeks her earnest look on her face that he loved so much. He had to admit he was a bit jelouse she beat him to it but astonished that she had the guts to say it first. "I love you Isabella Jones, I love you more than I think you could ever know your the missing part to my messed up puzzle of a life your all I've dreamed about since laying eyes on you your all I ever wanted your my happy ending and I'll gladly catch you a million times if need be." He whispered back squishing his face closer to hers. Their noses were now scrunged together and their breaths in syncs. Their eyes shut close. "Then kiss me."she whispered and Henry gladly did as told. Pressing his lips against her softly then harder. Licking over her pink lips before dipping into her mouth. Isabella's hand wrapped around the nape of his neck pressing him into her. They savored the long intense kiss before breaking away. She rested her head back down close to Henry's. "Thank you for catching me..." She whispered sleepily before falling back asleep peacefully in his arms.
