"HELP!"

My cries for help continued. Alycia lay unconscious in my arms as I held pressure against her wound. If I had to guess, it was probably a stab wound. She was bleeding a lot, which at first had me question if there were multiple open wounds but there weren't. I checked and checked and checked.

Finally, I hear footsteps running towards us. Fearing it would be him, I look over and see security.

I give them a pleading look as they reach us, their eyes going wide. "What happened?" one questions. They try to pull Alycia away from me and I hesitate as I let her motionless body go. More tears stream down my face as I look at her limp body. It's only then that I notice many bruises starting to form.

"I'm gonna kill him." I mumbled but my gaze is quickly fixed onto a security guard.

"Y/N, tell us what happened." That's when I start telling him. My words become shaky as I go along. He nodded in understanding as I finished. "What'd he look like?" he questioned again.

"I uh...brown hair..blue eyes..5'7-5'8-ish...He works on the camera crew.." I try to explain.

The security guard takes his radio, reporting the details of the man I had just told him. Two other guards leave, leaving three left. "Shouldn't there be an ambulance?" I question angrily. "One's on its way. Don't worry, we're doing the best we can right now." he reassures me.

It's been two days.

Two days since that incident..since he almost took Alycia from me. She still hasn't awakened yet.

I've been at her bedside for as long as I can. I stay the nights, just in case she wakes up. In case she is scared. In case she needs anything. In case she just needs someone. Anyone.

I hold her hand, sitting back in the chair I have pulled up to her bed.

My eyes are clouded with tears, my cheeks tear stained. I rub my thumb over the back of her hand, telling myself it's to comfort her but knowing in reality it's to comfort me. The doctors said she may not wake up. She lost a lot of blood.

I can't look at my hands..thinking about how they were covered in her blood.

I grab my phone and check the time. "3 AM.." I mumble to myself. My hand kept a strong grip on Alycia's. I squeezed her hand. 3 times. One for "I". Another for "Love". The last for "You".

But that's when I feel my hand squeezed back four times. I raise my gaze to meet hers, her forest green eyes stared back into my tear-filled grey eyes.

It was dark. No lights were on in the room, excluding the small light that pierced through the door window.

I hadn't noticed I was crying until I saw Alycia's expression change. It became full of..sorrow. She moved the blanket, patting the bed for me to join her. I undoubtedly rushed to lay beside her. Once I did, she wrapped the blanket around us and wrapped her arms around me. My cries fell quiet. They were muffled from crying into her neck.

I knew I wasn't the one that should have been needing comfort. I shouldn't have been crying. But I was. I was so scared of losing her.

I looked up at her, her eyes glossy. She had been on the verge of crying.

I cupped her cheek with my cold hand, swiping away the tears that now began streaming down her face. No words were spoke. We didn't need to speak. Our eyes spoke for us.

Her hands moved to my cheeks, copying the motion I had done. I couldn't help the small, broken, giggle that escaped me. Her lips curved into a broken smile but nonetheless, still a smile. My hand dropped from her cheek and rested on her waist, avoiding the spot where she had been attacked. Stabbed.

Her smile dropped..along with her gaze.

She was staring at my lips, my eyes couldn't help but catch a few glances of hers. I looked back up to her eyes. Her eyes looked back up to mine. Her eyes were full of question and slight lust. I leaned closer, hesitating before her lips met with mine. "Is this okay?" I whisper, pulling her body closer to mine. I'm met with no answer other than a pair of lips meeting mine.

Our lips moved in sync as butterflies filled my stomach. My tongue asked for permission to enter, being denied, I bit her bottom lip, earning a quiet gasp from her.

Our tongues fought for dominance, my hands found themselves on her neck, pulling her impossibly closer. Her hands remained on my cheek as we continued. I felt her pulling away for the need of breath. I pulled away but rested my forehead against hers. I smiled as she kept it there. Alycia wrapped her hands around my waist again.

I sighed contently as my hands found her side, carefully resting them on there. Alycia soon drifted off to sleep, myself following suit.
