There they stood, close to each other, almost squeezed together.. Really close, a move and her hand would touch his. She could feel the fabric of the clothes hanging neatly on their hangers against her back.
She wanted to say something, or do something to break the silence. She really needed him right now, she was in fact freaked out and started to feel dizzy by all the adrenaline pumping around inside her body.
She turned slightly looking at him, the darkness in the closet made it nearly impossible to see anything but thanks to the gaps in the doors tiny strips of light could figure their way into the wardrobe and made it possible to distinguish the coutures of his face. He was concentrated and looked out between two ribs in the door, he didn't even notice her glance.
Suddenly steps echoed down the hall towards the room where Ezra and Aria were hiding. They started as tiny, almost inaudible steps but by the time the person got closer the steps also got louder. Aria felt her body stiffen up by each step, what if they got caught? What if the person in the hall would kill her if he or she found her there pressed up between clothes and the wardrobe doors. Or even worse if the person killed Ezra. She felt like she couldn't breath, and every step the person took echoed in her head like she was in a big drum set, the sound just jumped back and forth inside her scull, her vision became more and more blurry by every second that went by and for a minute she was sure she was going to faint.
Just when she was on her way to give in to what her body wanted to do and collapse onto the floor she felt a hand squeezing hers and how someone pulled her in for a hug in the tiny closet. She felt his soft lips on her forehead and his hot breath against her ear as he whispered "Don't be scared, I'm here! We can do this". She hugged him back, breathing in his scent. She felt like her body relaxed first a little from his touch but then even more when his words hit her ear and made their way as signals in to her brain. It felt good to be that close to him, for him to hug her tight and hold her when her own legs were to week.
She was really happy that he was the one squeezed next to her in that wardrobe, after all those years he still was the one that kept her safe, who hold her when she wasn't able to do it on her own.
