1. True Fear
That feeling, that terrible sickly backwards feeling. No control, no way out. You can't breathe, its suffocating.
Death is coming, the ultamite fear.
He breathes down your neck or you hope its a he. Hope you can barter with him to let you keep your life. That he'll pass you and go onto the next tragic, broken soul.
Give you time to fix yours, all you need is time and you don't plan on running out soon.
He passes you by as your panicking, your breaths are short and harsh, relief washes through you and exhaustion sets in. " Bas! Bastian " you tug on the shoulder pulling your bestfriend behind you, racing out of the dark stairwell and out on to the street.
Turning, your hair whips around your skull as you turn to stare in frightened green eyes " Bas ! focus, okay babe. Focus" those green eyes narrowed " bitch ! fuckin' hell Kurt. you weren't kiddin' " you roll your eyes " Sebastian we just bargained with death alright so come on, we need a car" the brunette nods and you sigh " C'mon , hurry up " and he rushes off while you pick through the damaged cars and remains of lost neighbors.
The blue chevy pick- up is old, as Sebastian pulls up but you can tell it runs well. " alright, where to?" you hum leaning back into stiff but woren in seats " the next six gas stations " Sebastian drives without a thought, you clasps hands an act of affection and assurance.
"thanks " you hum " you'd done the same babe" Sebastian huffs " Kurt, stop doubting your awesomeness " a breathy chuckle emerges from your throat, lifting your clasped hands to kiss his knuckles, he sighs.
By the fifth gas station you think and hope the town is empty. You pick through the merchandise while Sebastian fills gas cans and piles it all in the bed covering it with the hard shell. You stop at a motel where you find a better car so you transfer everything to your claimed room while locking up the better truck.
You both shower and wash your clothes.
Sebastian lays out on the bed pulling you down with him. You curl up together. Sebastian whispers your name as he holds you tight foreheads pressed together " I love you " warm tears slide down your cheeks, Sebastian pulls the blankets over them " I love you too "
