Behind These Walls

Crystal's POV

"Then I don't wanna wake up from this dream." I was looking down again and looked up when I felt him wipe away my tear with his thumb. "Believe you me Crystal, it's a dream I don't wanna wake up from either, but I thank the heavens it's not a dream. I couldn't be happier than I am right now that I have you in my life." He got down from his chair and pulled me in a hug. When he pulled out of the hug our faces were only a few inches apart. If I stood in my toes we'd be kissing, with that thought my eyes unconsciously move to look at his lips.

I avert my eyes and look up to meet his and find them staring at my lips and within seconds his lips met with mine and you won't believe the butterflies flying along with unicorns galloping in my stomach. I tried by all means to not think about my dad forcing me to do this with him but I couldn't so I pulled away, harshly that is. He looked at me hurt and confused. He stepped away from me and scratched the back of his neck. "I.. I'm sorry, I've never done this before, willingly. The only time I've ever kissed someone was when my father forced me too. I'm sorry."I said letting my tears fall.

I saw his eyes soften and relief wash over him. He took the step closer again and hugged me." Speaking of father I need to go back home Christian."I told him in a small voice. I felt him nod his head as he rested it on mine."Isn't there another way for you to stay away from him, I mean you can stay here for as long as you want, there is plenty of room for you here."He said holding me tighter. I sighed against his chest and held him tighter. "That sounds amazing but I need to go back because once he finds me I'm pretty sure that will be the last day I live so it's best I go back home." The both of us finally let go and he nods his head then he smiles. "Well then I'm driving you back and I won't take no for an answer." I nodded and we headed out.

30 minutes later we park in front of my dad's house. I sigh in relief because I don't see his car outside. "Are you going to be okay?" Chris asks me grabbing my hand. I nodded my head and squeezed his hand a little tighter. "Come here." He says pulling me close and setting me on his chest."Call me if anything happens okay. I'm always here for you." I nodded my head as the tears rolled down my eyes. I lifted up my head and gave him a little peck on the lips. "I like you." He said, his forehead against mine. "I like you too." I got out of the car and walked towards the door after Chris drives off.

I sigh and enter the house. I press my back on the door and look up sighing softly. Right when I was about to move I feel strong hands wrap around my throat and make it hard for me to breath.
