He Who's Always In Trouble

5: He Who's Always In Trouble

The following day I saw Rome in his trousers and hoody. He seemed to be in bad mood though. I tried to call his attention but no matter how loud I shout out for his name it feels like he's ignoring me for some reason. Our eyes never meet and now I keep wondering what could be wrong. He seemed to be in a complete mess and for a fact I didn't know why my feet bought me up to him. Though I was suppose to be the one controlling myself but it seems as if my legs and feet have their own brain.

"Rome!" I yelled at the top of my lungs

While trying, not to lose him from my sight, I continued walking faster to him. I didn't even realise the running car. All I could think of was him. I hold my breath as I stopped for a moment. Huffing, I tried my best to bring back the oxygen that once was lost from me. As I turned my head that's when I saw a vehicle in a speed. The more it comes closer the more my feet resist my command on leaving. my nerves started to malfunction. It felt like I've been numb for a while. my mind went into a complete blank neither one of my nerves is working pretty well. I felt myself going to limp, and knees so weak. then I heard a voice called out for me. it was familiar and I'm sure it was Rome. when someone grabbed me by my waist that's when the heart started pounding as if they were trying to break free from my chest and make a run for it. for a second, I thought my heart stopped. the next thing I knew I was pulled somewhere. I fell but then it didn't hurt at all. suddenly, there was something that caught my attention. something was beating against my chest and I didn't know what it was but I'm sure it made my heart beat accelerate even more. I'm in the verge of crying but all I can do is hug the person back. I was sobbing so loud that I didn't notice the person talking. then I heard him chuckle.

"It's good thing that your okay. I thought something bad will happen to you, Princess. Are you okay?" he asked

There was a slight pause, I immediately recognize that voice that made me wanted to cry even harder.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here now. you don't have to cry"

I felt a gentle pat on my back that turned into rubbing. Slowly, my eyes fluttered their way up, trying to clear my eyes from the water that is blurring my eyes. Suddenly, I saw Rome. He was lying down beneath as a smile drew across his face. With my eyes soaked in tears, I wasn't able to stop them from falling unto his cheek. Instead he wipe it all away and he managed to hold unto me as we stand.

 

"You usually cried like this before although I didn't get the chance to hold you this tight"

Sympathy is what I felt as I heard those words come out from his mouth. It seems as if we really know each other a long time ago. if I could turn back the time and change everything then I might have been able to understand everything. Suddenly, the image of that young boy scorched into my eyes. the sorrow in his dark eyes is all I can see. Its telling me something to which I don't know what. all those things he did is just a part of growing up. I intend to erase the memories I had with hijm after he left. right now I can;t even recognise his face neither his voice all I know is that he's back.

"You were, too, this timid, like in the past"

I lift my head and made contact with Rome's eyes. I looked straight into his eyes. It resembles someone's eyes. looking at his eyes made me forget about everything. I saw how Rome's eyes darkened as they bored down to mine. exchanging stares for minuted felt like forever and there's so much intense that it is intolerable to avert my eyes away from him. before long, I realise his left cheek, quite beaten up, he also, has a cut in his lips. I didn't know why but then as I pressed a finger on his lips tears dried up from my eyes and saw how hurt he was. next my eyes trailed down to his hands that's covered in bandages. I looked at him with confusion. my eyes hurt for a moment. I think I cried too much that I didn't realise it was already swollen.
