He was surrounded by darkness. He couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. He was in the tin suit. No matter what he did, he couldn't move at all. His heart began to race. He struggled to break free from the dark confines of the suit. He tried to scream but nothing would come out. No one could hear him. He was alone.
Cain woke suddenly from his slumber and sat up. Sweat covering his face, his breathing fast, and his heart beat racing. He looked at his surroundings. He wasn't in the suit, he was in his room. He heard light breathing beside him. He turned his head to see DG asleep beside him.
He ran his hand through his blonde hair. He climbed out of bed and pulled on a pair of pants. He needed some air.
DG reached out for Cain and when she realized he wasn't there, she sat up and looked around the room. She saw him leaning against the balcony door frame, in just his cackie pants. DG got up and walked over to him.
"Wyatt? Are you ok.", she asked as she gently laid her hand on his bare shoulder.
"I had the dream again. But this time it was worse. I can't even describe it.", he replied, his eyes meeting her's.
"Don't worry, we'll figure something out. It's going to be ok.", she told him trying to wrap her arms around him to comfort him. He pulled away from her.
"No it's not going to be ok Deege. I can't sleep because I'm scared that the dreams are going to come true. I'm terrified that I'm going to wake up and be back in that damn suit. I can't take much more of this.", he told her as he backed up against the wall and slide down it until he sat on the floor. His head falling forward slightly as he looked at the floor.
He was so exhausted and DG knew that. She needed to help him. To save him one more time. She got on her knees in front of him. She reached out and touched his cheek. Her touch brought his eyes up to her's.
I
look into your eyes
I feel it comin through
I can't help but
want you
More than I want to
So baby take all of your
fears
Cast them all on me
Cuz all I ever wanted,
Was just
to make you see
That I could be the one to give you
All that
you've been searching for
Just home on to my love
And baby let
me give you more
You know
Anytime you need love baby I'm on
your side, I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make
it alright
I can make it alright
Anytime you need love baby
your in my heart
I can make it all right
"Wyatt, I know this is hard. But you are the strongest person I know. You have never let anything bring you down. You always fought for what you wanted and what you thought was right. You never let me give up and I'm not gonna let you give up.", she told him softly.
"I don't think I'm strong enough anymore.", he told her.
"Yes you are. I know you are. You just have to realize that for yourself. I love you and I will not let you loose yourself or your sanity over this. I want you to know that I am always here for you no matter what. Just like you were for me when I first came here. I will help you fight this. I will face this with you. We will overcome this.", she replied, as she squeezed his hand gently.
He looked into her soft blue eyes. They burrowed into his soul. He knew what she was saying was the truth and she meant every word of it. She smiled sweetly at him. The smile that she always saved just for him.
Now
there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
Cuz you're
the fire
And I'll be waiting right here
You know my love is
real, baby yeah
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side,
you know
Just let me be the one that can make it alright
I can
make it all, make it all, make it alright
Anytime you need love
baby your in my heart
I can make it all right
DG gently pulled Cain to his feet and wrapped her arms around him. He too wrapped his arms around her. They stood holding one another for a moment. Cain then realized that as long as he had DG, he could face anything that his past demons threw at him.
Yeah......
I'm
on your side
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be
the one
Alright
