The Spirit's Obsession {Sequel to Entwined Fire} - #Wattys2016

In your arms.

I opened my eyes slowly to see night had fallen in Adams. My body weighed heavy against the ground, giving me no option but to lay here.

"H-Heeeelp." I croaked. My eyes blinked the fuzziness away until I was seeing clearly. I pushed myself onto my back rolling me over.

My eyes were met with thousands of small stars littering the sky. Looking simply beautiful.  I reached up and touched my face feeling the dirt and a sticky substance, on further inspection I saw that it was blood and I had hit my head.

My fingers sort out my necklace but the memory of me throwing it at Zak flashed in my mind.

Zak...

I went into my pocket and pulled out my phone.

Dead.

"No.." I whispered holding it to my chest.

After staring at the sky for a further 30 minutes I struck up energy to get up. Staggering away from the spot, I hit into a tree and looked around. Black lantern lights led the way out the park, I nodded to myself and with some mental encouragement I stumbled my way out the park and back into civilisation.

Cars flew by as their lights offended my eyes causing me lift my hand to block them out.

"Hey lady? Are you okay?" A group of men asked standing outside a nightclub.

"Leave me alone." I replied and continued on stumbling my way back to the hotel.

Get to the next side walk... Come on Maria. The next on- that's it! Now the next. Get back safely..

I was shoved and pushed from the crowds of people that filled the sidewalks. I guess there was something happening tonight. It was no interest of mine.  My body felt like a ton weight as I dragged myself back. I was in for a long night..

----

I spent my time walking back to hotel of all the things I wish I said to Zak. Like how I hated his satin bedding. How I hated his obsession with Dolls for this stupid museum. That he had a weird fascination with mannequins eyes.

I had decided I would go home, sort my head out and return. Or maybe go to Boston, as I promised Nick and Veronique. I could babysit Annabelle and Chloe whilst they went out. How it used to be..

Pain surged through my head and another made itself, a dull ache in my womb area.

Great that means Mother Nature is on her way to royally kick me in the....

I grabbed my stomach and let out a breath "Okay ovaries.. Keep your tits under control." I moaned looking at the road ahead.

I had a way to go yet..

I crossed when I was suppose to, I waited where I was suppose to and keeping an even pace, despite my lack of coordination and straightness. Anyone would think I was a raving drunk, not someone who had spent the day in a park making out with the dirty floor. A car horn honked loudly making me grasp my head.

Too sensitive.... This was worse than any hangover.

I wanted a bath, a hot soapy bath with bubbles and candles and maybe a small glass of wine.

Like the baths Zak would make me..

My heart ached remember the way he would sit in the bathroom talking to me as I soaked, he'd even wash my back and any other part if I let him.

I just couldn't let myself believe that he didn't love me anymore. He had to love me.. Because I loved him!

I was afraid this would happen.. If you asked me my biggest fear last month, it would be living a life without him in it. But now I was facing a life without him
in it, I felt terrified, paralysed to think I had to carry on.

It was the small things he did that touched my heart and made me miss him so much.

We sat down and watched 50 shades of Grey.. I felt a bit intrigued with the whole Dominating side of it and had a fantasy of dominating Zak. To make him fall at my command. But out the whole film the only bit I truly loved was how he danced with her, spinning her into his arms and holding her against him.

Everyone had seen them dance, from advertisements or even Ellie Gouldings Music video -Love me like you do.

The very next night I came into the lounge to find a space cleared and Zak waiting for me to take his hand... We danced. Just like the film. After he kissed my nose and smiled saying "I'll dance with you forever to see you smile the way you do."

But now I was walking back to a hotel room, shared with Aaron, holding myself back together covered in dirt and some blood with a throbbing head and an aching womb.

Why can't men have periods?

I asked Zak it once, whilst curled up holding a hot water bottle that he had got me. My handsome doctor looked after me and made sure I had everything.

That was the side of Zak nobody saw, the most kindest and gentlest person. To the public he acted like he had something to prove and to see himself almost revert into show Zak didn't sit comfortable with me. It was his personal alter ego...

The hotel came into view..

I was almost there, I was almost safe!

Looking at the hotel I noticed a familiar body sat on the bench continuously trying to ring someone.

"Damn it!" I heard them cuss.

I wanted to smile but it was too much hassle, and I was suppose to be mad with him.

He looked up and at me before going back to his phone. His eyes snapped up at me again as I stumbled landing on my knee.

"Maria! Maria!" He shouted coming to my aid. "What happened?! Sweetheart talk to me?!"

My eyes rolled feeling his hands holding my face up. I was tired, I wanted to sleep..

I'm going to sleep.

My legs went to sleep first causing me to fall to the ground, Zak came down holding onto me. Pulling me into his arms he kept shaking me.

"Stay awake! Stay awake Maria! You're okay! It's just a little cut! We got this! We're okay!" He kept saying.

I looked up at him seeing the gorgeous eyes I love. They change colour but tonight they were grey and blue.

"In... Your arms." I panted.

"Yeah, yeah in my arms. You are you are okay sweetie we're gonna get you help."

I shook my head and held onto his hand. I'm dying, I have to be because this is how I want to go. In his arms, that's all I want. To be close to him one last time.

"In... Your... Ar--.." My eyes fluttered.

"AARON!!" Zak yelled.

"Hold on Maria, it's okay. It's just a cut."

"I'm tired." I replied.

"I know, I know but just keep your eyes open for me."

I watched him look behind him and yell for Aaron again, it was too much and my eye closed.

If I'm gonna go.. Take me whilst he still has hold of me.
