Falling (Completed)

Chapter 19: Doubts

Rebekah's POV

I packed up the car, leaving with more than what we came with. Malia demanded we go shopping at every place we went so she could have something to remember them by. I couldn't help but to smile at the memory, Malia is really something else. A creature I've never ran into before in my entire existence. Malia was kind, loving, humble and down to earth. She was the most passionate person that I know. She's the most beautiful person that I know, and no, I don't mean her looks. I mean her personality. How she makes the room light up by smiling, how she is so full of life and adventure, how her eyes light up when she talks about something that she loves. The way her beautiful blue eyes always look dark like the ocean but always reveal every single emotion she feels. How her plump lips are so kissable, all the time. Her smile takes my breath away, leaving me stunned. Malia was just pure perfection. I was torn out of my thoughts when I heard something fall and I laughed as I saw Malia dragging a suitcase twice the size of her. "Ugh! Who packed this thing?"

I laughed and shook my head. "That'd be you, love."

I saw a small blush consuming Malia's cheeks and I grinned. She looked at me and pouted. "Babe, this suitcase can literally fit two of me in it! Why am I carrying it?"

I bit the inside of my lip, trying not to laugh. "Because you insisted on 'being useful,' remember?"

Malia blushed a darker red and I just stood there in complete and total awe. I wish moments like this could last forever. "Okay, fine. I'm done being useful!"

I couldn't hold back my laugh anymore, walking towards Malia and hooking my fingers in the belt loops, pulling her close. "Mm, you sure?"

Malia looked in my eyes and I looked into hers. Those beautiful blue eyes swirling with so many different emotions, making me want to know everything on her mind. "I'm positive."

I grinned and slowly moved in closer, pressing my lips against Malia's. Our lips danced together and I couldn't help but to smile. I laid my forehead on yours. "I love you, Malia Rosette."

Malia grinned and kissed my cheek. "I love you more Rebekah."

I grinned back and wished that we could stay like this forever; locked in the bliss of her presence, never wanting to leave this moment, it being completely perfect as I smell in her vanilla scent, I couldn't get enough.

"Mm, babe we should get going."

I groaned and looked into Malia's blue eyes. Getting completely lost all over again in the deep waves of the ocean that was her eyes. I stared into them, feeling like the waves were consuming me and I didn't want it to stop. "Maybe we can stay here a little bit longer."

Malia grinned and pecked my lips, leaving me with a craving for more. "We can't, our friends are waiting for us!"

I laughed and shook my head. "Your friends are waiting for you. I don't have friends, only enemies."

Malia softly bit her bottom lip. "Well you've changed, Beks. You've become a softer, more caring person. They'll love how you've changed."

I raised my eyebrow. "I don't think I've changed that much. All that's changed is I've become happy because of you. I'm still Niklaus' little sister, that'll never change. I won't ever live down that name, Malia."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her forehead on mine again. "Rebekah, you're not the monster that you think you are. I wish you'd realize that. Yeah, the past is bitter and bloody but honestly, that's not who you are anymore. You wanted revenge on your brother for taking your loves away, but he won't ever take me away from you. I promise. He'll have to kill me to take me away."

I closed my eyes and let out a shaky breath. "He'll do just that, he's done it numerous times. Anytime I find happiness he ruins it, that's why I don't want to go home. I want to stay here with you, forever."

"Rebekah, he won't kill me. And even if he does, I'll totally haunt his ass. We can't keep running, we can't keep living in fear of being found." I pulled away and looked in Malia's eyes. I wish I could believe what she's saying is true but I know what awaits me when I go home... I know I'll never hear the end of it, I'll never be forgiven. Not by Niklaus anyways. And he's the one I fear the most...
