Am I Dreaming? | Peter & Edmund Pevensie Love Triangle

Chapter 19 - How do you guys not remember?

Edmund's POV

Caspian gave Lucy, Eustace, and me towels, so that we don't freeze. Eustace started to freak out while everyone looked at him as if he's crazy, which he is.

"Looks like we almost have everyone back!" Caspian announced.

"Peter and Susan are here?" Lucy questioned with excitement.

"No, but Edmund's lover is."

I looked up at him and my eyes grew wide.

"Ex-lover," Lucy said.

"Shut up, Lucy. Where is she?" I questioned.

Caspian pointed towards a group of people and a few of them step to the side. There she was, all soaking wet just like the rest of us. I looked into those green eyes that I loved to look at when she opens them after a good night's sleep. However, they were filled with fear and panic, soon she pushed a couple of crew members out of her way and disappeared.

I quickly dropped the towel and rushed towards the direction she was heading. I caught a glimpse of her hair, "Adrianna!" I shouted as I got closer to her. She quickly made a sharp left turn into a room, slammed the door shut, and locked it. "Adrianna!" I knocked on the wooden door as I heard her spine collide with the door. "Please open the door," I whined as I kept knocking on it.

Soon after I heard her get up from the ground and slowly unlocked the door. She opened it slightly so that only her head can be seen, "I-I-I" she stuttered.

"Just let me in," I softened my voice.

Adri nodded her head and opened the door a little bit more before she took my arm and pulled me and closing the door once again. She was changed into a new pair of trousers that were dark brown and she was wearing a new blouse that was a beige color.

"God it felt like I haven't seen you in forever!" I said.

"Edmund-" she started, her voice was softer than usual and she was looking down at her feet, "why didn't time stop for you?"

I came closer to her and took her hand in mine, "what do you mean?"

"Last time I saw you was earlier today. Well for me it was earlier today, but when I came to Narnia, Caspian had told me that time changed quickly and a year had passed already. Last time we were here, time stopped back at home."

"This can't be good. Lucy and I were worried about you because you weren't responding to any of our letters. And I know that we broke up but at times I needed to talk to somebody and you were the easiest person I could talk to."

She pulled me closer to her, her arms wrapped around my waist and her head leaned against my chest. I placed my hand on her cheek and felt a tear on my thumb. "Hey, it's going to be okay. We're together again, you have Lucy who is the life of the party and we have Eustace..."

"What the hell is a Eustace," she laughed and looked up at me.

"My cousin," I responded with a big smile on my face. She kept her gaze on me. Her eyes were softer than before but also red, "how long have you been crying?" I asked, placing my forehead against her's like we always did.

"After I left your place I met up with an old friend and had coffee, but when I got back at my place my eyes were literally pouring out the ocean."

"Then you ended up in a literal ocean," I added with a few laughs coming out.

"Yeah," she said as she pulled away from the hug and cleared her throat. "We better get back to Caspian or else he would have the whole crew looking for us."
