Chapter Twenty four

Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift

Enjoy my loves<3

Everything began to explode. Lloyd's feet drifted off of the ground. He hugged his waist, green light exploding from his chest. He cried out, releasing the energy everywhere.

I gasped and fell back, shielding my face with my forearm. A high-pitched ringing began to fill my ears; my vision becoming fuzzy. I saw blurry figures rushing about, one stopping before me and grabbing my arm, yanking me to my feet.

I breathed out slowly, holding my head as the ringing ceased, a headache taking its place. The person who had grabbed me started to shake my shoulders, moving me back and forth.

As my vision cleared, I realized it was Cole yelling my name, holding me in his rough hands. "Y/n! Y/n, we gotta get out of here!"

"Wha-?"

"Y/n!" Cole groaned, slipping his arm around my waist before handing me off to Kai.

I looked at Kai, his cocky grin washed from his face. He lifted me, picking me up like a bride and rushing over to the edge of the Bounty. Flames licked at the wooden floorboards, the sail flapping madly in the violent wind. I watched as the deck came crashing down on the inside of the boat. My heart pounded in my chest. I bit my lip as Kai placed me in a secluded corner.

"Stay here," he said. "Zane is calling P.I.X.A.L. to send a ship for us. Once you see it, get on it and wait for the rest of us. It's gonna be small so try to make room." Then he took off, snapping his fingers. I watched as flames appeared at the tips of his hands just to leave them when he fired at-

"Lloyd," I murmured, watching as the Green Ninja began to attack his team. I regret it. I regret telling him that I hated him and I regret saying anything that might have hurt him at all. I caused this. This is my fault. I should have heard him out first - and even if he did cheat, it didn't matter. It never mattered in the first place. I didn't want to be anywhere but Lloyd's arms right now. I wanted to kiss him and tell him that I was okay, that he would be okay, and that we would forget it all.

He was willing to be mine again, and I wanted to be his so badly, but I couldn't let go of my hatred. My pain caused his pain, and I regret it so so much.

I curled my legs up to my chest just as I felt a wind brush up against my neck. The ship was here. I knew I should have gone on like I was supposed to, but I ran to Lloyd instead, shoving past the angry Ninja and jumping in front of him. Things seemed to calm down for a bit when I felt his gaze on me.

"Y/n," he said gently, pressing his lips to the top of my head.

"I can't go. I'm sorry. I can't," I replied, wanting to bury my face into his chest.

Lloyd sighed, bringing my face up with his finger so our eyes could meet. "You have too. I can't hurt you again."

"Y/n!" Jay called. I looked back at the rest of the Ninja, who had hurried into the small ship. "We gotta get outta here!"

I couldn't stand the thought of them leaving their teammate, and I just couldn't let go of Lloyd. It felt as if it was almost impossible.

"But I don't want to go!" I ran into Lloyd's arms, breathing in his light, cinnamon scent, running a hand through his light blonde hair. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I let them flow down my cheeks. "I wanna stay with you."

I felt his arms wrap around me, tugging me closer to him as if we could never get close enough. He took my chin in his hands, tilting my head up so I could meet his gaze. He kissed me gently, his soft lips moving against mine.

He chuckled through the kiss. "Funny how you hated my guts at first and wanted to leave so bad, and now you wanna stay." He said, pulling away. I smiled at his jokes. His mockery. How he could be so cocky one moment and all serious-leader-man the next moment?

Lloyd cupped my face in both his hands, wiping away my tears with both thumbs.

"Y/n, we need to go. Now." Kai urged, taking my hand in his before trying to pull me away from Lloyd. I shook my head.

"No!" I hugged Lloyd tighter. I may have looked childish and stupid, perhaps like a little brat, but I didn't care. I loved him...

Oh my God. I love him. I love him. An explosion rattled the Bounty, causing me to fall, and Lloyd to stumble back, losing his balance. Kai groaned. "Y/n! We need to go - now!"

I shook my head. "No! I'm not leaving without Lloyd!"

"There isn't enough room on the ship!" Jay yelled, poking his head out of the tiny pod.

"I don't care. You die I die!" I screamed into Lloyd's chest before crying more. Cole jumped out of the tiny pod before wrapping his large arms around my waist and pulling me off of Lloyd.

The Bounty shook again, the fire on the other end eating away faster and faster at the deck. I watched and Sensei Wu and Lloyd stepped back. As Cole forced me into a seat, I noticed that Lloyd's green eyes were glossed over. This was the first time I had ever seen him with tears into his eyes. One even fell, and he didn't bother to wipe it as the door to the pod closed, and the rest of the Ninja and me flew away.

What frustrated me the most was that I realized I loved Lloyd and never got the chance to say it. But I will. I don't care if it takes a thousand years, I will prove to him that I do love him.
