My Saviour [Leiley and HopelessRomantic]

[HopelessRomantic]

Rosie had always being this energetic and happy. Before he could handle it but right now he hated it. Him not walking was still a rather sore topic. As soon as she mentioned that she'd heard all sorts of tales of heroism, he shot her down. "Don't give me the hero status. I'm not a hero." He simply told her, having lost his sense of humor for now.

"I knew Harry would be made." He said quietly running a hand over his face. He'd severed that relationship by leaving. Honestly though, going out to fight he thought he was going to die. He figured severing ties early on was better than hurting the ones he loved most. The only person he'd kept in contact with was his father, and that was only because it would have hurt his father more to have ties severed than to have his son keep in contact but die.

"I'm fine." Jamie chewed out though it was the biggest load of bullshit he'd said in a long time. He was anything but fine. "I'm the same old Jamie I was before I left." He added.

Rosie nodded, scratching her head a little. "Fine, huh? Well, I'm glad you're fine." She knew that he wasn't fine, but she also knew him well enough not to question it. "I didn't call you a hero, a hero doesn't just desert the people that he supposedly cared about. Only cowards do that." Her gaze narrowed momentarily as she sighed, looking t the finger that played host to her engagement ring.

"So, want to hear about the pickle that I've gotten myself into?" Without waiting for an answer, she slipped the ginormous diamond off of her finger, and showed it to him. "I've often engaged to a guy that everybody loves. But, ironically, the everybody doesn't include me. I have a wedding looming in six weeks, that's costing his family £500,000 and all I can think about is how I can call it off. Any tips?"

[HopelessRomantic]

That was the first time anyone had called him a coward and it made him feel ashamed to the point where he couldn't even look at her. Obviously she was mad at him or she wouldn't have made that snipe. "Yeah, I know I'm a coward, Ros, tell me something new." He told her finally.

He looked at the engagement ring and frowned. It was the first time he'd heard that she was engaged and he felt bitter about it. But she said that she didn't love him. Everyone but her loved him. "Maybe you should talk to him. Surely you loved him when you said yes otherwise you wouldn't have said yes. $500,000 is a lot of money. If you're gunna stop it you have to do it soon. I'd feel pretty shitty if I'd spent that much just to have my bride turn me down." He told her.

[Leiley]

"Yeah I know I should tell him." Rosie nodded, "I thought I loved him at the time, but the longer we're together, the more I dislike him." With a sigh, she let her back lean against the wall. "So, how is physio going..knackering I bet?" Her green eyes fixed on him. Why couldn't she just tell him how she felt? Surely it was obvious. "You know, your dad said that you'd be pleased to see me. I think he might actually have been wrong."

[HopelessRomantic]

"It's time consuming and frustrating. I wish that I could just stand up and walk again." Jamie admitted. "I just wish it was easier." When Rosie told him what his father said, he frowned. "Rosie... It's not that..." He ran a hand over his face, trying to figure out what to say next. "I'm exhausted. It's a shock to see you, that's all." He told her. "It's not that I'm not happy..." He sighed, soon Rosie was going to be just as pissed as Harry was. And he knew that he'd changed because of war. He'd become cold and distant and now he was struggling to be the person that Rosie knew. The funny, caring, flirty guy that she knew.

[Leiley]

"Then go to sleep." She smiled, kissing him on the cheek as she leaned in. "Well, I'm glad that your home." With that, she stood up, slipping her shoes back on. Rosie understood how he was feeling, and she knew that she couldn't even begin to imagine what he'd seen. Straightening herself out a little, she pulled her bag over her shoulder. "Don't shut me out, you know I'm way too annoying to let that happen." With a light hearted wink, she walked to the door.

"Oh, and my number is still the same..text me." Her fingers turned the knob, and the redhead stepped outside. Turning back for moment she arched her eyebrow, "There is one more tiny thing that you should know. I love you." With those words, she disapeared up the stairs, pausing to talk with Tony before leaving.

[HopelessRomantic]

Great, he'd pushed her away. Just what he needed. He figured when she announced that she was leaving that it was his doing. Though, as she left he felt like he'd been hit by another road side bomb. His heart stopped at her words but there was nothing he could do or say. He was taken by complete surprise. Surely she was just teasing. How could she love him in his moody broken self? She was engaged!

It was a few hours later he grabbed his phone. "What do you mean, you love me? You're engaged, Rosie. You should hate me." He text her. "Were you serious, or just messing around?"

[Leiley]

Rosie blinked sleepily as the sound of her phone woke her from her sleep. Yawning, she sent a hand out from under the duvet to find it. With a small sigh, her eyes finally began to focus as she read the message.

"I know that I'm engaged Jamie, and why would I hate you?" Scratching her head thoughtfully, she nodded to herself, finally relieved that it was out in the open.

"I really do love you." Her finger hit send as she closed her eyes once again, putting the phone back on the side.

[HopelessRomantic]

He sighed. "I'm not a person to be loved, Rosie. You're engaged. Don't throw that away. Talk to your man. I'm not your man. I can't walk, I can't do much. I'm an ass too. I'm not the man for you." He sent the message, but he was protecting himself. He shook his head and put his phone down trying to sleep.

Rosie didn't know what she was talking about. She'd come around now that he'd shot her down. He might love her, but it wouldn't work between them. There was too much bad blood and he was an injured ass and a coward. Damn, he forgot to add that he was a coward in that text too.

[Leiley]

Sighing, she frowned at her phone. Half tempted to throw it across the room in frustration. After pummelling her pillow a little she replied.

"I don't care what you can't do, and don't think I don't know that the text you jut sent was to protect yourself, and not anything to do with my feelings. Yes, I'm engaged, but I won't be for much longer. You can be as rediculously stubborn as you like Jamie, and as scared at being hurt. The feelings haven't changed since high school, so I know that they aren't going to suddenly just disapear. Take your head out of your arse for long enough to see the bigger picture. Yes you're hurt, but aren't dead. Stop leading the life of a dead guy."

With that, she sent it before flicking her phone off. She couldn't sleep now, so instead she watched a film.
