A Whisper

Chapter 9

Sunrise wasn't too much earlier ago, since the sky was still mixed with a light auburn and pinkish tone. The sky is beautiful, and it mixed well with the changing leaves which are autumn colours. Mason was nice to look at. He had a tall frame. His soft face was covered by his dark hair. I wonder what his father looked like, because I bet he looked a lot like him. His ocean blue eyes were identical to his mother's. We walked through the woods side by side. His hands are in his pockets so I put my arm through his so our arms are linked. He blushes, "are you okay?" Our feet slow to the same steady pace, "I'm alright. Why?" He looks at the ground, "You screamed for me last night. I ran down and found you sleeping. I kissed your forehead and you started breathing at a steady pace. I don't think I noticed at first, but you weren't breathing until I touched you." I have to tell him now, but how?"Mason, I have this disease; Acute Porphyria. I have attacks and I had one last night and hmm," I stopped as he did. He turned toward me and hugged me. I was speechless, because I was home again. I never want this to end, please don't let go of me. He slowly lets go and lets me finish. "I'm going to sound insane. Which isn't terrible, because I am crazy" I start babbling really fast. "Anyway, you stopped that attack. You calmed me down which made me relax which in turn relaxed my lungs which by the way were burning from lack of oxygen. So thank you." He looks amazed and stared blankly. I've broken him with my crazy disease. I don't want to damage him anymore by telling him he's always been there, because that would just add pressure.  "Serenity, I'm so sorry." You are perfect, and now you're apologising for some disease that wants to kill me. Honey, you are the only reason my heart is beating. "Prince, it's okay. You helped." Understatement to say the least. We started wandering in the woods again. I ran so far, and I wanted to get lost. Getting lost isn't so hard with him, because I get lost in his eyes. I get lost on the mere thought of him. He can't get any better. He is a childhood friend, because he was always in my head. I don't have to feel trapped in my head; my thoughts lie with him. After several minutes of walking I start to get really dizzy. My head spins and my heart drops. I take a deep breath, and just like that I fell. Not again, why do I have an attack every time that I'm in the woods? It's probably because even though the sun is blocked by the trees, I am still getting more sunlight than my body can take. Mason carried me home.
