The sound of her silent sobs and the unsteady beating of her heart almost drove Axel to madness. He wanted to go closer but he was scared. Scared that she was going to push him away and never want to see him again. He knew he could not be like this so he moved forward and closer to her, careful not to make his footsteps too loud.
But even after that, Hannah noticed and from under the blanket, she stopped him coldly, "Don't come closer Axel. Leave me alone".
Those were the words he feared to hear and now, he was filled with dread. He took a step back. One step turned to two, then three and kept increasing till he was out of the room. He closed the door behind him quietly before leaving to God knows where.
Halfway, he met Eric who looked mad. Axel had other things on his mind so Eric was ignored and the words at the tip of his tongue were swallowed went he saw Axel's distressed face.
