Save Me

Chapter 44

I run the stairs and for the first time, I'm so glad that his mansion is huge. I walk between halls, rooms, corridors, white and black doors, unlocked and locked rooms. I peek into a few of them, glare at the paintings that decorates the walls that are not glassy. I glance around the windows and glass walls around the garden that hugs beautifully this mansion. I even see many people working and hide immediately even though they're outside.

Successfully, I don't have any unwelcome acquaintance with any of the people who work inside. I wouldn't bear it to be seen in this place dressed in a t-shirt. I would run and hoping to erase my existence from the universe.

When I'm in the middle of nowhere and have no idea where I'm without ant signal of orientation, I do the only thing I wanted to do. I move towards the middle of an empty and quiet corridor and open a door. I find a spacious room with a big bed covered in white color. The blinds are closed and darkness is all over the room. When I shut the door, I slide in the back of it getting lost in the darkness.

Girls with Corbyn for Edward...

This is the worst idea in the worst he could come up with; I hate it with all my heart. I'm scared of Edward and the combination with girls that want to sleep with Corbyn makes it more hateful. Girls.

The words I knew one day he would say paid me a visit after the second I managed to convince myself that I didn't lose him. Seeing him with her was my worst nightmare becoming reality. The sight trickled something inside of me and freed all my fears and demons. I hadn't realized how easy is to get hurt or how much his presence really affected me.

It was the first time I imagined how it would be like if he moved on without me, leaving me alone to pick up my shattered and broken pieces.

Tears gather in my eyes before slipping down and caress my skin with their coolness. I wipe them away quickly and get under the covers. I hug tightly the pillow burying my head in it in my attempt to stop the tears. Sniffle and sobs wiggle my body as I try to ignore the sadness and anger that collide inside of me and I surrender to the darkness.

I hear the light sound of the door tickling and opening, softly and slowly, travel around the room. I keep my eyelashes shut as I listen to him walk towards me. The mattress deepens before I feel his arm slide around my body strongly and pulling me against his chest. We stay like this for a while, under the covers, blanked with silence and stillness. None says anything as I feel myself relax inside his embrace. I feel his warmth put my nerves and tension to rest. His breathing slows down and so does mine. Thought his grip of me doesn't loosen up even a bit, keeping close.

"I don't want to fight," He mutters after a few silent minutes. I unlock my eyes to meet the darkness that covers my room before I turn around to face him.

"I don't want to fight either," I confess and hide my face in his neck smelling his scent. His hand goes through my hair and plants a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Maybe you're right," he admits and a wave of relief that the anxiety of his words put in my shoulders earlier evaporates. A smile finds its way to my lips while I bring my arms around him.

"Why did you hide? Do you know how much time I spend searching for you?"

I giggle in response. "That was the point," He titles my head up and our eyes contact. I see his eyes hide uncertainty as his brow is bothered by a frown. "I was bad at you,"

"And I was mad at you," He says and it's my time to scowl.

"At me?"

"Yeah, we need to do this. I won't let him get away when he tries something with you again. Because he will." I gasp causing my lips to part in surprise.
