New Found Paradise

Chapter 14- Possessions

*Cheyenne's POV* 

They're like possessions. I blast my music until I can't hear myself think. Sometimes it just takes over and I lose control. I didn't want it to happen in front of Sammy, but I lost it.

*Sammy's POV* 

I wake up to a lot of shuffling. I sit up from the floor and look over at Cheyenne to make sure she was okay. The sight I saw was something I've never seen  before. Her hands were gripping the sides of her head as if she had a terrible migraine. Her eyes shut tight, tears pouring out of them, staining her cheeks. Her knees pulled into her chest. She did not look okay. I sit on the edge of her bed as she rolls around strangely. I place my hand lightly on her shoulder. She snaps our of whatever it was fast and sits up breathing heavily. "Hey, are you okay?" I ask her in a calm whisper, trying not to startle her to much. She just shakes her head and looks down as tears fall from her eyes. I pull her into my chest for a hug. She cries into my shoulder while I rub small circles on her back trying to calm her down. 

*Cheyenne's POV* 

As Sammy hugs me, I feel safe for once in weeks. I savor this moment as much as possible. I breathe in his scent and listen to his heartbeat. Eventually I calm down. He uses a finger under my chin to tilt my head up and look at him in the eyes. "You can tell me what's wrong." He says with pure concern. "They're like possession. I blast my music until I can't hear myself think. Sometimes it just takes over and I lose control." I explain to Sammy. "Because of Landon?" He asks. "Partially. It has always happened when I was stressed or anxious." I say looking down again. He hugs me again tightly. "Are you gonna be okay?" He asks. "I think so." I say quietly. "Do you want me to stay up here with you tonight?" He asks sweetly. "Yes please." I say with a half smile. He flashes that beautiful, wonderful smile and lays down next to me. I drift away at the thought of Sammy possibly being in my future.
