KNOCK ON MY HEART ❤️(on-hold)

chapter-29

I don't know how long I was running. There is no light, and everything is dark. Running, running, my legs beg me to stop, but I don't know why I don't. A hand snaking around my waist and a hoarse voice appeared out of nowhere. Hello, Zaha. Did you miss me?

To get away from him, I thrashed in his arms. It frightens me. He frightens me. His hands are moving all over my body. I was repulsed by his touch. Makes me want to crawl across my skin to get rid of his touch.
Don't come near me. Let me go.Don't you have any shame? My father thought you as a best friend.I begged him and spat at him those words as I crawled away from him.

Oh dear don't share our little secret with my friend.He rubbed his cheek, showing his yellow teeth. I wish I could just forget about it and move on, but it always comes back to haunt me.

He threw my schoolbag somewhere in the dark room and began ripping my clothes off. I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping that someone would come to my aid. When his fingers traced my lips, I bit his fingers. He reached out to slap me.  Instead, I felt a gentle hand on my right cheek, followed by a deep yet gentle voice in my ear. I was asked to wake up, and I did...

DEVYN'S POV

Please leave me alone. No.... No.... Please. I.. No… Noooo. I awoke to the sound of Zaha mumbling something. I get up from the couch and make my way to my bed in order to hear clearly.

Even though the temperature is cold, her hands are fisted to her chest and sweat beads on her forehead. I knelt beside her as tears streamed down her cheeks. I took her hands in mine, and it was clear she was having a nightmare.

I   tried my best to wake  her from nightmare, but she did not. With my thumb pad, I stroked her soft cheeks. She awoke screaming at the top of her lungs. She was having trouble breathing. I went to the nightstand to get a bottle of water, but it wasn't there. I dashed downstairs to the kitchen to get a bottle.

I open the refrigerator to get a bottle, but two frail hands wrap around my waist from behind. We stood there in silence for a few minutes before I turned to her side and forced her to drink some water. She wouldn't let me go. Instead, when I turned around, she hugged me and buried her face in my neck. She tried to hug me more tightly while standing on her tiptoes. As I lifted her from the ground, she wrapped her legs around me as if on cue.

I carried her back to my room and made her sit on my bed; she didn't leave, and we remained silent.
After five minutes, she let go and maintained one hand distance as if she hadn't wrapped herself around me like a blanket.

Please accept my apologies. I woke you up. I should go now. She stood up and ran to the door. What the hell?
Zaha. I called her name, but she didn't respond. I'll have to carry her back to her room. I threw her over my shoulder and walked back to my bed, but I didn't drop her.

Put me down. You, angry bird. Giraffe. You handsome cold face.Still thrashing in my grip.
I told you I'd throw you on my shoulder, and thank you for the compliment.

Ahhh. Put me down. Everything is upside down. I'll scratch your back.

Then promise me you won't leave me.

She paused for a moment, and I expected her to promise me something, but instead she bit my ear. We both collapsed onto the bed, with me on top of her. I encased her between me and the mattress.

Promise me. Now. I demanded.

Fine. I promise not to leave you.
If I leave her now, I won't be able to learn about her nightmare. Zaha, what happened? Why are you having a nightmare? God, I should have asked politely, because she looks like about to start a waterfall.

She gave a sad smile and said, "You'll hate me."

I cupped her face and whispered, "I'll never hate you, Zaha."

I let it go for the time being, but I will soon find out about it and relieve her pain.

Sleep. I told her to sleep as I was about to get out of bed.I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was 2 a.m. You must sleep, Zaha.

He'll come if I fall asleep again. He terrifies me. Please. Okay, this is much worse than I anticipated.

I drew her into my embrace. I knelt beside her and draped the quilt over us. I drew her deeper into my arms, her head in the crook of my neck, my lips just above her ear. My one hand is around her waist, and the other is stroking her.My one hand is wrapped around her waist, and the other is stroking her hair.

I had a thought: why didn't she push me away? She tried to push as if on cue. Zaha Close your eyes and go to sleep, without thinking about anything else. It's now just you and me. When I am with you, no one can hurt you. I kissed the side of her head and whispered in her ear until she fell asleep. Before falling asleep with her in my arms, I kissed her head for tonight one last time.
