Prisoner- Chapter 85
I turned to the house to see Fang standing in the doorway. He was always around when something was bothering me.
I walked toward him not knowing if I was crying or not, the rain pounding and washing away all the tears. I locked eyes with him and saw him move a few steps forward on the porch, staying where the rain couldn't reach him.
I walked up the steps to Anne's porch and stood in front of him, completely soaked. He was looking down into my eyes with a silent stare. I felt my knees weaken beneath me and slowly reached my arms out to wrap around his back. I inched myself closer to him, laying my head onto his chest and closing my eyes.
Moments later Fang's arms were wrapped protectively around me, tightly holding me to him. One hand around my back and the other lacing its fingers in my hair and holding my head gently pressed against him.
I felt another tear slide down my cheek, I was crying again.
I grabbed his shirt in my hands tightened my grip until my knuckles turned white.
"What's wrong?" Fang asked pressing me against him a little more firmly.
I didn't want to tell him that I almost broke my promise to him. I didn't know what'd he say or how he would react. I didn't want to lose Fang for something I almost did.
"Max." He whispered lowering his head closer to my ear.
I pulled away from him and looked into his dark eyes. Blinking, I turned my gaze to the ground looking at it with great interest.
"I almost did it." I said furrowing my brow.
"Did what?" He questioned.
"Broke my promise." I answered looking into his eyes. "The one I made on the beach."
His eyes showed a mix of shock and understanding. I could tell he knew what I was talking about.
"The voice was hounding me." I said feeling the sting of tears coming to my eyes. "It wouldn't stop it just kept pushing me."
He stayed silent waiting for me to continue, at least I hoped that was why he was silent.
"I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and locked myself in the bathroom." I said searching his face for an expression I could recognize. "I was gonna dig the chip out."
"Why didn't you?" He asked surprising me.
"I would like to say it was because I promised you, but not even that could have stopped me." I said slightly shaking my head.
"Then what?"
"My hands were shaking really badly at first, but I managed to calm myself down." I said exhaling as the memories of what had happened flowed through my mind. "Then the voice came and told me not to do it."
"You stopped because of the voice?" He asked looking a little confused.
"No." I said shaking my head. "I told the voice to leave me alone and I was going to do it then, but my hands had started shaking again. When I calmed myself down again Anne came and knocked on the bathroom door. Anne was the reason I didn't do it."
Fang looked shocked.
"Anne?" He questioned studying me.
I nodded.
"She brought me back to reality, snapped me away from my thoughts." I explained. "When I looked at the knife again I realized I was crazy to think about risking my arm and even my life. I was being selfish."
I paused, waiting for Fang to speak, but he stayed silent.
"The chip stays in." I promised again.
He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. I closed my eyes at the contact. I felt weightless, like nothing could bring me down. The stress was out of my mind.
Right now it was just Fang and I, nothing or no one else.
"Let's go get some sleep." He said entwining our fingers.
I smiled and followed him willingly.
