I shrieked as I shot from the bed. My whole body drenched in sweat and my breathing dangerously fast. I shrieked hysterically covering my ears as tears streamed down my face. I desperately tried to ignore the flashbacks I saw in the nightmare.
"no! Stop! Please stop! Don't hurt me!" I whispered hysterically, clenching my eyes as I pushed myself towards the wall and my back met with a hard surface. I curled myself into a ball and wrapped my arms around myself as my body raked with uncontrollable sobs. Another flash back occurred before my eyes and screams left my lips. My body shook violently.
I heard the door slam open and feet ran in my direction. Arms tried to pull me towards them. I jumped away with my eyes clenched. I saw the face of my bully flash before my eyes and I screamed covering my body. I heard faint whispers but my mind made them the sounds of my bullies and I whimpered loudly.
I felt a soft touch on my hand. And it pulled me slowly and carefully towards them. I hiccupped. My eyes refused to open no matter how hard I tried. I felt being placed on a lap and heard faint whispers. My mind went back to the past again and my body thrashed as an air piercing scream ripped from my throat. I wiggled to get free but smother set of arms held me down gently. My heart beat was dangerously fast and my ears rang.
"open... eyes..." I barely made out the words. My fists clenched as I saw Betty's face flash before me.
"plea... deep... breaths..." I tried to follow the voice. I frowned and whimpered as I couldn't open my eyes.
"make them stop." I gasped and whimpered painfully. Covering my ears as the voices of the past rang in my ears, making my head swirl.
I screamed in agony. My hear thudding painfully in my chest. I lost my breath and clutched my hands on anything as I tried to get away from the murder scene flashing before my eyes. Barry's laugh rang in my ears and her insults kept on repeat. I desperately heaved for air as my body thrashed and I shouted for her to stop. Strong arms held me down, clutching to tightly to a hard chest. My mind kept going in and out of reality making it difficult for me to decipher.
Suddenly I felt the edge of a glass against my mouth and water caress my lips. My mouth opened and took large gulps in. I felt hands rubbing my back in slow soothing motions. I turned my head away as I took deep breaths. trying to calm my thudding heart. Tears streamed down freely and my body jerked. I clenched my eyes.
"Verena." I heard a voice call me. Gently but firmly. I froze and stilled completely.
"open your eyes angel." It spoke again softly. my nostrils flared as i took deep breaths. I tired to open my eyes again and this time succeeded. My eyes met with the ceiling. I blinked rapidly trying to clear my vision. My breathing fast. Tears streaming down my face. I felt gentle hands wiping my tears. Voices of the bullies and Betty becoming more and more distant. My gaze focused on green pair of eyes and memories of the hospital and how I met them flashed in my eyes. I gasped and blinked.
"take a deep breath angel." Doctor Azriel voice reached my ears as he guided me. He took a deep inhale and I followed. Counting to three he releases his breath and exhaled slowly. My breathing coming out unstable and shaky. I focused on my breathing blinking away the teary vision and inhaled again following his movements.
"that's it angel! Good job! Again." He whispered softly and I focused on his green orbs as I took deep breaths. My heartbeat slowed down to a steady rhythm. My body shook slightly with light tremors. Violent sobs raking my body as tears continued streaming down my face.
Soft whispers of words of praises reached my ears from my front and my side. Doctor Azriel pulled me closer to his chest softly and cupped my head with his palm, placing it on his heart. I felt a soft kiss on my hand and it being placed on another heart beat. I listened to the heart beat and felt the other with my palm. Focusing solely on them as I took deep breaths and calmed down slowly. Flashbacks and the voices fading away from being over powering my senses and my mind and I relaxed slightly as my mind eased completely into present and reality. I breathed, Clinging to the only source of my calm, two heart beats and gentle, protective touch.
"shh beautiful!" I heard Doctor Jarrel whisper from my side and I registered hands running softly through my hair, and hands rubbing my back in soothing circular motions.
My body relaxed even more enveloped in peppermint scent, soothing my senses. I felt soft touch on my cheeks, wiping away the tears and I closed my eyes. I shuddered as i felt a strong sob rake my body. Now registering the pain and ache all over my body, I frowned and shifted slightly. My shoulder was throbbing, along with my wrists and arms and a whimper fell from my lips. I felt a hand on my forehead and a sharp intake of breath.
"she's burning up." I heard a barely audible whisper from above me. I felt a soft kiss on my hand and it being placed gently in my lap. Depriving me of the feeling of rhythmic heart beat against my palm. A whimper fell from my lips and a tear escaped my eye.
"shh. Shh. Beautiful. Please don't cry. I need to get your medicine. I'll be back in a flash." I heard a soft whisper form my side and lips on my forehead. Placing a soft kiss and a thumb gently wiping away the tears. I snuggled into the warm chest.
The bed shifted as doctor Jarrel went to take medicine. I felt completely drained and lifeless. My chest heaved with a harsh intake of breath. I felt a hand on my back, rubbing soothing circles and my body being rocked slowly with a hard one.
Moment later I felt the bed dip and the hand on my back traveled to my chin where it rubbed gently circles. I felt a cold spoon met my lips and I frowned. I tried to open my eyes but they felt heavy like tons so I kept them closed.
"open up for us angel." Doctor Azriel whispered softly as he gently coaxed me by parting and imparting my lips.
I sighed and opened my mouth. The spoon slid against my tongue and I wrapped my lips around it. Pulling the liquid towards my throat and licking the spoon, I released the metal from my lips. It pulled out of my mouth and I gulped the liquid. Frowning at the bitter taste. I snuggled into the hard chest. Placing my hand on the naked chest.
"just one more beautiful. It's for the ache sweet pea." Doctor Jarrel whispered as doctor Azriel ran his hand softly through my hair.
I turned my head slowly towards the side and felt a thumb trace my bottom lip softly and a pill being placed between my lips. I took It in and gulped it down. Edge of a glass met my lips and I took in slow gulps of water. Pulling away after I had my fill.
"that's it beautiful. You are alright." doctor Jarrel whispered soothingly as I felt his hands caressing my cheek softly and running through my hair. I sighed and relaxed.
"you are so strong angel. So brave." I heard doctor Azriel voice and he pulled me closer to his chest. Placing my head right on top of his heart gently and rocking me back and forth.
I felt my hand being cupped in larger one and being picked up from my lap. lips peppered kisses on all of my hand and my palm slowly met with a heart beat. I breathed as I felt his steady rhythm. Pair of hands cupped my small hand and kept it planted there. Dizziness took over me whole and I felt right at the edge of falling asleep.
"sleep now angel." Doctor Jarrel whispered and I slowly drifted to a deep peaceful slumber.
