Gregor looked at her, and fell to his knees also. He didn't want to stand if she wasn't. He delicately put the necklace around her neck, and kisses her cheek. He takes a deep breath.
"Ely. I-I don't know where to begin... I guess, I'll start with my thanks. For everything. For staying strong. For forgiveness. For being my reason. For always being there. I know I still have to apologize to Elliot, and I will. I just needed to tell you first.
Another thing. I've come to a conclusion: I don't deserve you. At all. I left you, and broke every form of contact that we had, but you stayed strong. All the way through. My Ely. You've been there through it all. When you came in the house...I didn't expect it, bu- but.. I couldn't have been happier. Your my best friend. Now, look at me. At us. I don't want us to fall apart, but yet, I'm the main reason for doing so.
And, last but not least, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. For everything that I've ever done to you. I'm a madman, and I don't know how, but I somehow got this beautiful young girl to fall for me, and I ended up falling for her. Things get heavy, and I got a threat. I didn't want you hurt, so I left, and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
After everything that we've been through, and everything that has been said and done, I couldn't be more upset with myself. Because I hurt you.
When we first met, I had no idea of what to expect, and I didn't think you would mean so much to me. You are the beginning, and the end, of every chapter. You are the best thing I never knew I needed.
