Suffocation

Chapter 6

When I finally woke up I was dizzy so when I tried to stand out of bed I fell over. I tried to use the strength that I didn't have and pick myself back up. My whole body was like jello and I just fell back down again until some strange really tall built guy came in and picked me up and put me back in the same wheelchair they brought me here with. They explained to me what was expected out of me and what I should be doing everyday.

It was like a prison there. I couldn't have Lane visit me, they said people might "influence me to end my life" or something like that. So with that being said I couldn't send or receive letters. I couldn't even get phone calls. I had to get an odd job there and wake up at 6 just to work all day. We went to sleep at 8, and they locked your door. There were no windows so I couldn't see the light of day.

I felt like I was in prison. I felt locked away from the world like I was doing nothing with my life. But then I thought, we am I here? None of what happened was my fault? And plus this place doesn't make me feel better, it makes everything worse.

Everyday was the same boring day, like I was stuck on repeat for ten years of my life. That was the longest ten years of my life. When I finally got to get out, I was 26 years old. As soon as I got set free and opened the doors from hell, there stood Lane.

I thought maybe he would have found someone better. I thought maybe he would have forgot about me but he didn't. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. He embraced me and held me for a long time. We were both so happy that we couldn't get not a word out of our mouths.

Finally he put me down and got on one knee, "Eric, I know we haven't seen each other in ten years and I know you probably thought I had forgotten about you but I didn't. I promised I would stay by your side no matter what and here I am. I felt so bad after you left because I didn't get to say goodbye, but I was always with you in your heart. Baby, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

I smiled so big and happily said yes. After he placed the shiny ring on my wore out finger he stood up and kissed me. His lips were still soft and warm, I could never forget how he tasted.
