[EDITING]
For him, the whole world was on fire except her.
And he didn't let a single flame touch her.
For her, she herself was on fire.
And she protected the whole world from her flames.
Especially him.

"Think that we got more time when we are falling behind gotta make up our minds."
"Or else we'll play, play, play all the same old games..." Emma screamed the words of the song on top of her lungs. Jason and Damien said they have never listened to One Direction intentionally so she is making them listen to the whole album. What can I say I wasn't complaining.
"We are here." Damien says as we pass the 'Welcome' sign. Shivers ran through my body when I saw the familiar streets, I saw myself studying in my favourite coffee shop, the bench I used to read poetry, the park where Nini used to play, the lake where my few friends used to hang out, our high school, Zach's house, the street. The street where I crashed got my sister killed.
I can't breathe.
I'm getting choked.
"Stop the car," I tell. I am feeling trapped. I need air. Damien stops the car and I tremble out of the car, sweat soaking me.
"W -What's happening t-to me?" comforting hands patted my back and Damien held me.
"Lia, you are having a panic attack. I want you to listen to my voice," he tells me but I am feeling dizzy and I think I might fall any moment.
"I-I can't breathe." I tightened my grip on his arm.
"I know but I want you to listen to me okay?" I didn't answer him.
"Talk to me, Rhea."
"O-Okay"
"I am going to count and you are going to breathe with me. Okay?"
"Okay."
"One..." we breathe in and out until my dizziness eases and I felt myself calm back down.
"Where are you?" he asks bending down to my height.
"In my home town."
"Good. You are okay." he rubs my back and I lean against his chest.
"Look we can always go back if you don't want to."
"No. I want to stay." We didn't come all the way here just to turn around. I should be okay with this. I should embrace it. We get back inside the car and drove off to our hotel.

"I am taking the single room." Jennifer drags Emma from her backpack.
"No, you are not. You are sleeping with me." If Emma doesn't share the room with Jennifer, she would have to sleep with Jason which would be not good for her fake hatred towards Jason.
"Can we go to our room? please." I nod and we go into our room which is across from Jason's. He closes the door behind him and I noticed how big the room is with a king-sized bed and roof to floor window that leads to a balcony that would give out a beautiful view of the lake. Just as I open the window the cold air hit my face. I look into the water and good memories flash before my eyes. It won't take moments to turn those good memories into horrible ones so I snap out of it. Warm hands wrap around me and he nuzzled against my neck, placing wet hot kisses.
