Somniphobia

Chapter 78. Overwhelmed Princess

Aria POV
I looked up when I heard the door slam shut suddenly making my eyes widen in terror. I ran up the stairs quickly as my heart raced in panic.

The wine bottle and tomato sauce slipped out of my trembling hands shattering all over the stairs. I grabbed the handle to open the door but the door wouldn't even budge.

I was trapped, I was locked in here... I tried once more to open the door but nothing, it wouldn't even open an inch. "S-Someone o-open t-the d-door!" I yelled while banging on the door.

I waited a moment to see if someone would hear me or open the door. Nothing, I got nothing which only made me panic even more. Tears formed in my eyes as I began to bang on the door more frantically.

"C-Caleb!" I shouted for him praying he would somehow hear me but once again I got nothing from anyone. "C-Caleb! H-Help m-me!" I screamed as tears streamed down my cheeks.

My knees gave out as I began to full blown panic the longer I banged on the door and no one seemed to hear or help me. My breathing slowed as I panicked fully in pure terror.

"D-Daddy!" I screamed. My mind wandering off with memories of how my parents constantly locked me in the basement and ignored my pleads and screams just like this.

"D-Daddy p-please!" I screamed as I fell to my knees and banged on the door desperately to be freed but no one not even Caleb seemed to realize I was stuck in here.

I banged and banged on the door with all my strength desperate to be let out. My head was spinning as I struggled to breathe and my heart tightened with fear.

"C-CALEB!" I screamed with all my might. My voice loud yet my lips trembled as I sobbed uncontrollably. I felt my face turning red and purple as I struggled breathing yet I was screaming so loudly my own ears hurt.

My tears blurred my vision and my palms hurt so badly from banging on the door so much. I was becoming weaker and even more frightened as the minutes passed.

Right when I was losing hope that no one including Caleb would hear or come find me the door began to open. I sobbed crawling out quickly while gasping for air desperately.

"C-Ca-..." I sobbed struggling to speak. I could smell Caleb's cologne near me and then I felt his strong hands lifting me up into his arms.

I gripped his shoulders tightly, wrapping my legs tightly around his torso as I hid my face against his neck breathing in his scent desperately.

"B-Blu-... r-r-rose." I sobbed out to him the best I could. "It's okay I've got you baby." He whispered to me soothingly. "Caleb go calm her down." Lydia told him. 

He walked away carrying me upstairs to the room we were staying in. "Breath princess, your free now I promise." He spoke to me comfortingly, reminding me that I was okay and safe now.

I hugged him tightly sobbing loudly. My entire body trembling from how scared I was. I was so scared but now I was so embarrassed cause I panicked so badly.

Everyone was going to be so weirded out by me. They might even think I'm sick and crazy or something. "Shh daddy's here baby, I know your scared just breathe princess." He comforted me.

I took a deep breathe to calm myself down. "I w-wanna l-leave d-daddy I c-ca-can't b-be h-he-here." I sobbed to him. "Okay we'll leave just calm down princess, your pregnant I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby."

He grabbed my shoes and purse carrying me back downstairs so we could leave. I hid my face in his neck crying softy as he carried me.

"Where are you going Caleb?" Lydia asked him as he carried me outside of the house towards our car. "We're going to our hotel Nonna she doesn't feel good." He replied to her.
