Until eternity

The Madness-43

Nahko grabs onto Zoe and helps her past the paps, and me well I have frozen in my tracks and Theo is trying to get me to move ahead.

The lights are blinding and I feel a panic attack coming on. I have my hand over my face and am looking down to the ground.

My feet feel like they can't move, and all I hear are these obsurd questions.

Shai! You and Theo are getting close are you.

Weren't you and Nahko a thing before. You passed him on Zo aye?!

Come on Shai, just one photo of the new lovebirds. Everyone wants to see Sheo happen.

Shai, why are you so stuck up come on one picture.

By now tears are flowing down my face, and I feel Theo swoop me up into his arms, shouting at the paps to leave me alone.

I just bury my face in his neck and wrap my arms around him tighter. He is whispering in my ear, "I got you. I've always got you."

I don't let go, because I don't want people to see me this way. Security ushers us to the elevators reassuring us we are okay now, and apologizing for what just happened outside.

I feel so stupid right now, like a child almost, Theo holding me and I a complete wreck. I hear the elevator ping and look up as Theo carries me into the elevator. 

He tells me everything is okay, I'm safe now, its just us. I feel him smooth my hair out of my face, and I look him in the eyes.

He has a worried look on his face, and I just don't know what to say. I lay my head on his shoulder I feel him rest his chin on my head.

I don't protest the fact that he is still holding me, I'm grateful actually, because if he set me down, I think I would just crumble to the ground.

Once we have made it into the apartment, I just lose it.  I'm crying my eyes out apologizing to Theo for the way I'm acting, and for freezing outside.

He carries me over to the coach and sits down, still holding me in his lap. He tells me its okay, and not to worry.

S-"Theo, I'm sorry I don't know what happened. I just froze. The flashing lights and all the crowding. The questions those god awful questions."

T-"Shai, its okay. You don't have to apologize. They are just trying to sale magazines, and get a rise out of us."

S- "I just froze, I felt a panic attack coming on." Why, why did this have to happen?

Theo just keeps holding me and is  rubbing my back. He is such a good friend, reassuring me everything is going to be okay. 

"Whatever comes our way we will deal with it together, he says. I sit up on his lap and look straight into his eyes, and with out thinking kiss him on the cheek, thanking him for being there for me. 

I decide its best I climb off his lap and remember about Nahko and Zoe. Theo tells me they are okay, and back in Zoe's room. 

I'm glad they are okay, and she had Nahko to help her get through all of that. I mean they came out of nowhere. 

Theo agrees, and says me nor Zoe are to go off by ourselves anywhere. This whole movie craze has got everyone in a tizzy, which isn't a bad thing for the movie it self, but not so much a good thing for us. 

I giggle and tell him ya no kidding. Of course Ruth is the first thing that pops into my mind, and I turn to say something to Theo but before I do he cuts me off.

"And don't worry about Ruth, I'll take care of it." "She has to understand, all this comes with the territory." 

I don't say anything, just smile at Theo and begin to stare out the window. I'm so exhausted I feel my head fall onto Theo's shoulder and he puts his arm around me.

The last thing I hear is him whispering, "You don't ever have to worry, I'm never gonna let anything happen to you."

As sleep takes over me, all I can think is that, he won't always be here with me. I feel a tear fall down my cheek as sleep takes over.

I wake up to the sound of my voice calling for Theo, he must of carried me to my bed.  I hear him say its okay, and turn to see him sleeping on my chair by my bedside.

Sorry, I didn't realize where I was. When did you carry me to my bed, I ask. He tells me about 30 minutes after I passed out.

S-Theo you didn't have to stay, that chair can't be that comfortable. 

T-I don't mind besides I wanted to make sure you where okay.

S- Thank you, I don't know what I'd do without you.

T- Pleasure

S- Well I feel bad for you sleeping on that chair you can go to your room, I'll be fine now.

Theo frowns a little and tells me he is okay, he wants to stay by my side just in case. I smile a little smile, and say with out thinking........

"Well if you insist on staying in here, I insist you share the bed with me." I don't feel right you sleeping on that chair. You are going to mess up your neck/back or something."

He gets that goofy grin on his face, and I know a smart ass comment is coming.

"Why Shai, are you asking me to sleep with you" I just put my hands on my face and bust out laughing. 

Not in that way, but yes. You can use that blanket over there and sleep on top of the covers. He laughs and tells me of course, anything to help you contain yourself from all this hotness.

I just shake my head, and tell him in all seriousness thank you. He crawls in next to me on top of my blankets. 

I feel him pull me close, and I rest my head on his chest. Yawning, I tell him "I'm glad we met." He whispers into my ear, as am I Shai, as am I.

With a smile on my face, and calm taking over me, I feel our breathing synchronize as sleep takes over both of us.
