Chapter 28

His plump lips trembled as he continued to cry, the tears flowing freely down his flushed cheeks.

"Michael," I breathed, clutching tightly onto his hand.

He took a deep breath, trying to pull himself together. He squeezed my hand back, tightly I must add. But I didn't care at the moment, all I cared about was what it was that could be troubling him to tears.

"I just," he began, his voice cracking. "Just ever since I got here, I can't seem to get them, my parents, off of my mind. It's like they're haunting me, I can never just relax, without the thought of them looming over my head,"

Part of me knew this would be happening to him. I tried to ignore it, tried to believe that he could be happy with me, but somehow I just knew he pull be hurting. I wanted to be the one to save him, but that's a far fetched dream. I searched for the words to say, searching his eyes that had now turned to a soft grey.

"I've been having nightmares, and panic attacks ever since I got here," he choked, more tears flowing down his cheeks. "I just hate the fact that I'm not in control of any of this. There is nothing I can do to stop them, and they're gonna come for me one day, I just know it,"

How did I not notice this? Why had he been keeping it a secret? I wish I had payed more attention, I could have helped him with this from the start.

I still didn't speak, wanting to let him ramble without interruption. I continued to gaze into his eyes, letting him know that I'm listening to every word that falls from his trembling lips.

"The only thing keeping me sane right now is you, Evie," he said, his eyes swirling with different emotions.

He was silent for a moment, his mouth opening and closing, as if he was searching for the right words to say.

After a few moments, he closed his mouth, clenching his jaw and squeezing his eyes tightly closed. He gripped my hand harder than before, and took one final deep breath before averting his gaze to me once more.

His eyes poured into mine, and I couldn't help but be captivated by my love for this boy.

"I fùcking love you, Evie," he breathed, removing his hand from mine and moving it to caress my cheek.

I could feel my eyes go wide as I tried to comprehend what he had just uttered to me, the words I had been secretly wanting to hear since he got here.

I knew I loved him too, so much. In just a short time, he had become one of the most important people in my life.

"I-I love you too, Michael," I said, a smile beginning to form on my rather somber face.

Before I could overthink, Michael's lips connected with mine.

I was taken aback, and a little bit nervous, since I had never kissed anyone before. His lips were hard against mine, and I was doing my best to keep up.

The kiss was filled with a passion I had never experienced before, and the tingles travelled through every cell in my body.

He moved his lips with expertise against mine, and I tried my best to copy his actions.

My moment of euphoria didn't last long, however. Both of us took no notice of the door swinging open.

It wasn't until we heard an angry voice yell, and we were abruptly pulled apart that our moment ceased.

I couldn't help but feel anger building up, as I turned to look at the boy who just ruined our moment.

Michael looked angry too.

All I knew, was this was definitely not going to go down well.

This is probably one of the shortest chapters I've written for this story but oh well! So who do you guys think interrupted them?
