~BE BY YOUR SIDE~

CHAPTER-14

-Third-person Pov-

Boun was scared and nervous. It was the day they were gonna confront the killer. If everything went according to plan the killer would be behind the bars in the next 24 hours. He couldn't help but think what if it didn't work? What would happen? Just thinking about it he was getting anxious. It was only 6 am. He was laying on his bed Prem cuddle up to him but he couldn't sleep. He was thinking negatively which caused him to get panicked. He was sweating. He couldn't breathe. He didn't realize he was having a panic attack. He was shivering. His eyes were going back and he couldn't see anything. Everything was blurry.

Prem woke up by the shivering of the boy next to him. He opened his eyes and he saw his Hia struggling to breathe. He sat up with Boun in his arms. "Hia are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked but Boun couldn't reply. "Oh no are you having a panic attack again? Shit. O-Okay breathe with me." Prem took Boun's hand and put it on his chest where his heart was. "Focus on my heartbeat. Breathe with me. In and out. Come on Hia in and out." Prem said. Boun couldn't hear what Prem said. But when Prem took his hands and put them on Prem's heart he focused on it. He heard Prem ask him to Breathe in and out he tried to follow the soothing voice. He started to get his vision back. Soon his breathing became normal. He closed his eyes and try to calm himself down.

"Tha-Thank you," Boun said in a small voice. His eyes were still closed. If he opened his eye he would see a pair of teary eyes glaring at him. "It's the second time you had a panic attack since we met. Don't scare me like this Hia." Prem said with a shaky voice. Hearing Prem's shaky voice Boun opened his eyes quickly. He saw the younger cry and immediately engulfed him in a hug. "Hey, Pao It's okay. I am fine now." Boun said trying to comfort Prem. "Hia what would have happened if I wasn't here. Please Hia, don't take that much stress." Prem said still holding Boun tightly. "Pao it's gonna be over soon. I was just overthinking." Boun assured.

After both of them calmed down they took their showers and went downstairs for breakfast. Boun could see everyone was a little nervous for later. He was glad that his father wasn't home. "Oii what's wrong with all of you? Why do you look so down?" Boun's mother asks. "It's nothing Mae. We are going back 2 days later that's why maybe they are sad." Boun said hurriedly when no one answered. Everyone nodded. He didn't want his mother to know about the plan. After breakfast, they went to Boun's room. Earth also came over. Kao was going to join them later.

"P'Boun can you go over the plan again," Fluke asked. Boun nodded and started, "Ohm and Fluke you guys are gonna text Por with the picture telling him to come to the address we gave you. You guys have the most important work you have to convince him to go there alone. Earth you are gonna stay here and you are going to go into the office from the backyard window and grab Samantha's bag. Make sure to check if all the papers are there. And Prem and I will be on the site. I'll confront Por and Prem would videotape it from a distance. And Ohm and Fluke you guys have to look out if there are more people with him. Kao would be there too with some other police officers. This is going to work okay. And please if any of you see danger you save yourselves okay?" Boun finished.

"If you think we are going to leave you alone in danger you are a dumbass," Prem said. "But I don't want to risk your lives," Boun said. "And we don't want to risk yours," Ohm said. Boun knew he couldn't say anything anymore. He just nodded. "I think we should start now." Fluke said. He said it with a confident face which was only a cover. He was really nervous which only Ohm could see. Everyone nodded and went their ways. 

Boun and Prem went to their room. "Prem I am serious if you see danger please save yourself. I can't risk your life. I can't lose you too." Boun said. "Hia I would never leave you alone. No matter what. You cannot convince me in that." Prem said looking totally serious and determined. Boun knew nothing he said would change Prem's mind. He couldn't do anything but pray that the younger would be okay. But his gut was telling him something wrong is going to happen. He tried to avoid that feeling. He needed to be optimistic.
