Chapter 28 - In His Arms

Skyla Roshanne

I am now in my room. I still could not forget "date" earlier. Sigh. What are you doing to me, Z. I think I'm crazy, crazy for you. Tsk2 this is not right, I will just be hurt at the end.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a loud booming noise. Oh my God! It looks like a thunderstorm is approaching.

Oh no! Not now please. I hate thunderstorms, I have a phobia of it. I don't know how it happened, but every time there's a thunderstorm, I begin to panic and have difficulty breathing.

I am now trembling in fear. I can't control my body. I am starting to have difficulty in breathing.

Suddenly, the lights went out and that's when I lost it. I'm so scared.

"Ahhhhhhhh." I shouted while crying. Please make it stop. I am curled up like a ball here in a corner of my room.

Someone, please help me. My tears flow continuously, and I'm shaking uncontrollably.

"Hey, Mine, calm down." I heard a worried tone, Z. He is trying to calm me down. I am having a panic attack.

"Z, please make it stop. I-I'm scared." I hugged him tightly as if my life depended on him.

I felt myself being carried by him. He laid me down in the bed, but I am still hugging him. I'm afraid to let him go.

"Sssshh, don't cry, Mine. I'm here, please don't be scared anymore, okay?" He asked softly, as if coaxing a child.

"I can't, Z. I-I'm so scared. Please don't leave me." I pleaded.

"Don't worry, Mine. I won't leave you. Just sleep and calm down, alright?"

"Y-yeah, I'll try. Just please don't leave me." I am still hugging him tightly, while he is caressing my back, trying to calm me down.

"I will. I promise I won't leave you. Just sleep now, Mine."

As if he casted some magic on me, I felt calmer and secured under his arms. Maybe due to exhaustion from crying, I felt my eyelids become heavier and heavier, until I finally fell asleep.

"I love you, Mine. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life." I'm not sure if I heard it right, because darkness consumes me already.

"I love you, Mine. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life." I whispered. I know she can't hear me because she's asleep already.

My angel, my life. Sleep tight.

And then I kissed her forehead before falling asleep. We're still hugging each other.

I will never let you go, Mine. You'll be locked in my arms forever.
