LOST

Chapter 10. Scars

Just like the moon, she had a side of hers unknown to everyone. There were scars residing back of her facade of coldness and numbness.

She is vulnerable inside which was kept hidden from everyone, she is broken and tired.

She is angry, depressed, hopeless but more than anything, she is scared. Craving for peace and warmness in her chaotic life.

All she needed was someone's warmth and love to bring her back to normal self. To bring her lost soul back.

" Macey, I brought her! " I shouted in front of the door and she opened it with a panic expression.

" Lay her on the couch. I am bringing water. " She said and went to fetch a glass of water, I laid her on the couch but she didn't leave my coat.

She kept clinging upon it. I could feel my eyes watering, I bit my lips, gulping down those swirl of emotions.

"Please get up Alaia...." I whispered, choking on my own tears.

I can't see you lying like this, all pale and cold. I need you in my life, I need you bossing me around, I need you commanding me around.

I need you.

"My heart is aching for you, it's like someone is stabbing it continuously. " I whispered, caressing her hair. Her face looked pale and lifeless yet so beautiful.

" Ashton here, take this water and sprinkle few droplets upon her " Macey said as soon as she entered with water.

I looked up and took water from her hands and did as she said, hoping for her to wake up.

Few tears escaped from my eyes but I wiped them before anyone could notice. Sniffling slightly, I looked at her with pleading eyes.

Please Wake up. Listen Alaia, I already feel like crying buckets, do you really want me to make fun of myself like this, huh? Get up, please.

For me.

I heard few murmurs, wait!

Alaia!?

" Alaia " This time I didn't wiped those stray tears which fell from my eyes.

" Thank God! " Macey exclaimed, running a hand through her face.

" NO! " Alaia woke up with a shout which startled both of us. Her body trembled, she didn't seem to be in her senses.

"Alaia" it came as a whisper from Macey's lips, more tears rolling down her jaw.

She hugged her tightly, trying to soothe her down and rubbed her back but Alaia pushed her.

" No... please leave me! No" she shouted and Macey looked at her with tears in her eyes while I gasped.

I have never seen her this miserable. Ever. It felt as if I were seeing some other person. Her devilish state, red and puffy eyes, trembling hands, everything screamed vulnerability.

And for the first time, I felt my strong Alaia breaking down. The person I used to seek strength from looked emotionally drained. My heart pricked seeing her like this. It pained me.

I hugged her tightly and brought her close to my heart, she did try pushing me but my strength overpowered her.
She kept beating me with her tiny fist and I winced a little.

Her punches are powerful.

She cried on my chest and I caressed her hair. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked down at her tiny figure which was trembling.
