Having Someone's Heart In Someone's Throat

The day of Autumn's disappearance before Brooks came to Charles's House.......

I didn't realize I was sleeping until I woke by a scream.

Scream from My Snowflake.

A second ago she was so peaceful but now, her eyes are wide open and she was holding sheet near her.

My head spined with such a loud shout and I slowly open my eyes and look at her still scrunching my eyes and holding my head.

"It's not good to wake up like that Snow White. It will affect you." I say in a sleepy voice. She is just looking at me with horror in her eyes. Then, she looks at the room. She moves her eyes all around. Her eyes grow even more wider with every photograph she see. "Ya, it's you." I say while smiling at her.

My headache slowly vanishes while looking at My Snowflake. A slight glimpse of her is enough to make my day. And now, now she will be with me, forever, and will bright up my life with her essence.

I am really excited to have her with me and to experience every single moment with her.

I smile with this thought, while looking at her.

I woke up. My head is already spinning and when I open my eyes I saw Professor Chamberlain........ or, should I say My Stalker? Right next to me, sleeping. I screamed.

I look inside the sheet.

All fine.

But, when I look at the room. My eyes grew so side as if they would pop out from their socket and my heart was beating so loud that I could practically hear my heart screaming.

The room was filled with my pictures.

My pictures, which were taken from some distance and even some from near. I am not able to believe what I was seeing right now.

Then I look at the whole room.

It was painted with dark blue colour, with my pictures on them. There were two big windows on the wall which practically covers the wall. Then there was also a book shelf in the corner of the room. I try to take a good look at them, my eye sight is quite good I should say.

I saw, it was filled with my favourite books. I also saw a study table which was as same as mine. The bed frame was black and the pillows and sheets were of different shades of blue. The room has a wooden floor which contrasts with its surrounding.

It all send shiver down my spine.

My Professor was my stalker? The letter and the bouquet of roses, were all given by him? Why would he do that? Why? And what am I doing here?

There are many questions roaming in my mind but it seems like I am not able to speak anything. Then he speaks. "I know what you are thinking. Though, I would not like to answer to your first question."

How can he read my mind?

"So.........., yes the letter and the bouquet were from me. And I did that because I really care about you. I really love you, Snow White. And ya... maybe I can read your mind." He says with a small smirk and wink. He sits and shifts near me.

I saw his white shirt which was wrinkled and his hairs were messy and after some time I notice he was quite close to me where I could breathe his cologne. We were staring at each other. For a while, it seems like the gap between us was reducing. Just he was about to kiss me I back away. That was the time when I realize his hand was on my right cheek.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't realize. Its just your eyes are hypnotizing me. And-" he then looks at me. "You know what, leave it. Let me bring you something to eat." He gets up from the bed and was about to leave. When I speak,

"But....... we were friends" I speak, still in a shock. I didn't hear whatever he said earlier. He looks at me in a surprise

"What?"

"I thought we were friends....... We were friends, right? And friends don't do this to each other......... I trusted you." I then looks at him. "I know my Auts, but friends do protect, right?" he steps near the bed. "Not like this and from who? I can protect myself." I say bluntly.

"I know, but I protect you because you are 'My' Snowflake and it's the best way possible. I want to protect you at all cost because you are the only one who matters to me, no one else..... No one but you." With each line he was coming closer. "And I know you might be thinking, me giving you nicknames again and again but it's just- I can't control, when I am around you."

It irritates me. Nicknames. I just like one nickname which is given by My Brooks. By My Emory. Yes, I have a nickname for him too. His eyes were emerald green, which spellbound me.

His emerald gaze was a velvet rope, pulling me closer with it's hypnotic charm.

So I named him after that. But I haven't told him because I wanted to give him a surprise. I wanted to trick him to see his reactions. But I don't know why, now I doubt that I would be able to see him again, I am just having a weird feeling about something.

"You should go in a cheesy line competition, I assure you, you will win." It just came out of my mouth. I didn't want to say that but I was shocked and bizarre by what was happening to me, so currently, I don't know what I am doing.

"Anything for you My Snowflake." He then smiles and went away from the room.

"Ni siquiera puedo maldecir"

(Can't even curse)

He peeks in the room. "Puedo hablar español, copo de nieve"

(I can speak Spanish, Snowflake)

He sing those words, in his deep voice. Then winked at me, smile and then leave.

What? I can't even speak Spanish now. Oh god! I don't even know any other language. He knows Spanish, my book taste, my favourite colour and everything. He knows all about me, from my interests to my day to day event. He knows all. I don't know why but I feel so exposed.

Currently, I don't know what I am feeling. I am feeling everything. And at the same time nothing. I can't process all of this. I am just not able to.

After some hours.....

He gave me some food. At first, I denied it but he insisted my by saying 'I know I am a Chemistry Professor but it doesn't mean I have done any experiment with your food. And Snowflake,( he deepen his voice when he called me that) you will get weak if you don't eat. And will My Snowflake look cute and softy-softy again?' he pouted and wiggles my cheeks while saying that. I wanted to kick him but I controlled it.

I then ate the food. I must say, the food was tasty but I don't want to be with him. I want to be with my Brooks.

After some time, I heard some yelling. I recognized the voice. He was Brooks. He was calling for me. I shout back "Brooks!!! I am hear" I shout with tears in my eyes and tries to unlock the door, but the door is locked.

I then heard sirens after 15 minutes. I shout for help but it seems like the walls are sound proof. I keep yelling but with each passing second I start losing hope and slowly I sink on the floor near the door. I was crying very badly. "Please! Please I am here. Here! Please get me out. IS ANYONE THERE, PLEASE!!"

Is someone really going to help me get out of here, or.. am I going to rot here for the rest of my life, without my Brooks.........
