His blurred eyes

Hyperventilating

"What are you doing?" I enter the living room, looking at Nola laying on the leather sofa.

"Me? I'm reading. You should try it some time." She says, sitting up and looking at me.
"YoU sHoUlD tRy It SoMe TiMe" I mock.

"Maybe you should try shutting your bubble gum dumb dumb looking ass the fuck up." I continue and plop next to her, snatching the book out of her tiny hands.

I look at the front of it.
"I'm reading about mental illnesses."

I gulp.
"Why? Are you feeling like a psycho?"
Nola snatches the book back, folding the corner of the paper so she knows where she left off.

"Very funny. Just trying to understand you better."
I raise my eyebrows.

I don't like where this discussion is going.

"Get it I guess? Welp...Imma go.."
I start slowly running away.

"Stop right there young lady!!" Nola screams.
"I'm literally a month older than you." I remind her.

"Doesn't matter. Here...take your pills before you go to sleep.."
She, again, hands the white things to me.

I take them and put 'em in my mouth, moving them under my tongue.
"Open your mouth."

I do it.
"Wide open."
I widen it.

"Under your tongue?"
I quickly gulp it and lift my tongue.
"Good girl Nova!" She says and pets my hair.

I hit her arm away from me and mutter:
"You bitch."

Nola smiles and I flash her my middle finger before going upstairs.
"Come on angel!"

I pat the spot next to me on the bed and he quickly jumps on it. The puppy adjusted to the new environment fast.

I was happy about that.

"Angel...I know it's all new for you but...I fucking love you."
With him in my arms, I fall asleep.

Until I was forcefully woken up...by someone chocking me. Aziel choking me.

"A-Aziel wha-"
His long strong arms don't leave my neck.

My eyes that are still adjusting to the darkness meet his white eyes. His grip keeps tightening.

I hit his arms but he doesn't budge.
"Y-You're...hurting me.."

I can barely breathe anymore.
He's killing me...softly. Aziel doesn't hesitate once on not letting me breathe.

The strength around my neck doesn't decrease. My breath hitches as my legs begin kicking.

Ugly noises leaving my blue mouth.
I'm suffocated.
"Aziel..."

My eyes slowly roll to the back of my head while I accept that this is my death. I...won't see Anastasia grow up.

I...didn't have enough time with Angel.
Nola...will blame this on her. I know she will.

But hey...I'll be joining the only person I long to.

Mommy...
I can see you now...

"Nova!!"
The weight leaves me as Nola lifts me up.

She hits my back as I cough for a while.
"Breathe. Breathe Nova."
My eyes that are teared because of the experience move to the right.

Seeing Aziel's eyes change to the brown colour.

A tear falls from mine now, staring at his panicked face. Worry written all over it.
