Lena's hair was sticking out in about fifteen directions, and her eyes were all small and puffy from crying. So this was what girls looked like in the morning. I had never seen one, not up close.

I crawled up onto bed and pulled Lena into my lap, running my hand through her crazy hair. "Are you okay?"

She shut her eyes and buried her face in my sweatshirt. I know I must reek like a wild possum by now. "I think so."

--

She leaned into my shoulder. "Maybe you don't have to be a Caster to have power."

I pushed her hair behind her ear. "Maybe you just have to fall for one."

I said it, just like that. No stupid jokes, no changing the subject. For once, I wasn't embarrassed, because it was the truth. I had fallen. I think I had always been falling. And she might as well know, if she didn't already, because there was no going back now. Not for me.

She looked up at me, and the whole world disappeared. Like there was just us, like there would always be just us, and we didn't need magic for that. It was sort of happy and sad, all at the same time. I couldn't be around her without feeling things, without feeling everything.

What are you thinking?
She smiled.
I think you can figure it out. You can read the writing on the wall.

And as she said it, there was writing on the wall. It appeared slowly, one word at a time.

You're
not
the
only
one
falling.

This is Lena Duchannes from the book Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I think I've fallen in love with the book. I have a few pages left to finish it, but I couldn't wait to paint this.

edit: Finished the book. It's too amazing, no words can describe it. Can't wait for the sequel.

This scene inspired me to paint this. It's one of my many favorite scenes of the book. ♥ Fave/Comment if you like Beautiful Creatures. Fave/Comment if you love Ethan and Lena.

Please comment as the hair took me a long time to finish.
I'm not good at painting but I tried harder this time.

P.S I want my own Ethan Wate.
