Falling for you| Katiefeely

Safe

Patrick's pov:

The drive in the car was calm. Only the sound of the slow music and breeze was heard. Katie was quiet. Lost in her thoughts.

When I saw her standing there. How she was trembling and how she was trying to hold her sobs. I felt a foreign feeling. I felt powerless.

When she had a panic attack my heart burned and ached. Each sob that left her lips felt like a knife cutting through my chest. I wanted to stop her grief and sadness. I don't know what she saw that made her react this way. But i can guess.

"He'll regret that." I mumbled to myself.

That seems to snap Katie out of her thoughts.
"Huh" she said as she looked at me. Confused. Face red because of crying and sobbing.

"Nothing" I said softly

When we reached her house I didn't stop the engine.
"Patrick. We left the house behind." She said while looking back as I stopped the car near a tree.

"I know." I said as I looked at her. The dim light made her green emerald eyes shine. I can't help but feel drawn to her gaze. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying which made me want to take away all her sadness and heartbreak.

"We're going somewhere else." I said eyes never leaving hers.

I can see the way her breath is uneven. As if the shock hasn't worn off yet. It broke my heart.

"I feel like the best thing you should do is to be away from everyone. So that's why I'm taking to a place where you'll feel better." I continued saying not taking my eyes of hers.

"I don't know" she said while fidgeting her fingers. She was nervous. "I feel like I want to stay alone."

"I'm not leaving you alone like that" I pointed to her tear-streaked face. "You'll feel better trust me." I said giving her a faint smile as i started the engine.

Katie's pov:

I tried not to cry the whole ride to home. I just wanted to go to my room and bawl my eyes out. I don't want to. But that's the only solution to soothe the ache that I feel in my Heart.

Patrick suggest to take me to a place where I'll feel better. And god knows how much I need that. It is million times better than me staying alone in my room . But I'm nervous and embarrassed. He already saw my breakdown. And the last thing I want is for him to see me in more vulnerable ways.

"We arrived" his voice snapped me back from my thoughts.

While i was trying to realize where we are he opened my door.

We were at the beach.

The cool breeze kissed my cheeks as i got out of the car. The moon was glowing and the stars were sparkling. The sounds of waves were like music soothing and mesmerising.

"This place is so beautiful." I said more to myself. "I didn't know that this place existed till now." I informed him.

He chuckled softly. The sounds calming and addicting. "Well now you know. So let it be our little secret."

I giggled. "Ok. Let it be our secret." I said as I started walking.

This place gave me peace. I feel light headed. As if all the things that happened minutes ago vanished. So I decided to embrace this moment before it ends.
