I can't breathe.

Something's holding me back... Around my neck-

What- An arm??

I shrieked and struggled, but a large hand cupped over my mouth tightly.

"HELP-" I tried to pluck his fingers off my face, but his grip got tighter. My voice was muffled. I continued to struggle against him, wriggling and kicking as hard as I could.

"Stop struggling and it'll be quick," I heard him whisper. "I won't hurt you...my precious."

My blood went cold.

"HELP!" I panicked and my legs went soft. I tried to elbow him but I was too tired to struggle anymore, my energy sapping away as I screamed as hard as I could, his hands muffling my cries.

Anyone...help...

Yuzuru...please...

There's no use struggling. No one's coming. No one can hear me.

My legs went limp and my arms stopped pushing. I felt myself getting dragged backwards. I closed my eyes, wishing that everything was just another nightmare.

Footsteps. Getting louder. Faster.

Someone, help...

"JUNE!" His voice called for me. I opened my eyes, but he was nowhere in sight.

"JUNE!" He shouted again. He was getting nearer. My aggressor dragged my feet across the ground quickly, moving towards a corner.

"Mmm- MMFFF!" I made the loudest noise I could, stamping my feet as hard as possible. "MFF-" The aggressor gripped my face even tighter, hurting my cheekbones so much I thought he was going to crush them.

"JUNE!"

This time, he found me.

Yuzuru.

"Mmf-" I cried weakly. Tears of fear turned into relief when I saw his face as he darted towards us, tackling the aggressor while trying to wrestle me from him. He tossed me aside and the next thing I knew when I finally snapped out of my daze, I found Yuzuru on the ground cringing, and the aggressor gone.

"Yuzu-" I slid to his side as he tried to sit up, wincing in pain. "Oh God. Are you hurt? Oh my G-"

Yuzuru cut me off as he weakly wrapped his arm around my back, his head resting on my shoulder in attempt to hug (or cling onto) me.

"I...I was so scared."

"Eh?" I mumbled, my arms subconsciously wrapping around him. He's scared?

"I thought I heard your voice..." He continued weakly. "I was hoping...that it was just my imagination."

I kept quiet,holding him tighter. "Thank you...and sorry."

He shook his head slowly, letting out a soft sigh. "I'm just glad you're okay now..." He paused for a while, his body tensing up. "That guy. He's been following you around."

"What?" I frowned, breaking the hug. He-

"I saw him outside the Cricket before. A few times. And he was always just standing around..."
