Trouble

Chapter 33

Holla! 

Missed you all, here's a new chapter! Hope you like it. x

I had a hard time breathing as my gaze locked on Harry’s. The first thought crossing my mind was ‘God please, let it be real’, I couldn’t handle another heartbreak. I don’t know what would I do if it was only my mind playing a trick on me.

“You-“ I chocked on a sob before I managed to say two words.

My hands went up to my face as my knees gave up making me slide dawn the wall until I was sitting on the cold floor. I squeezed my eyes shut as sobs rocked through me.

I needed a break. I needed it all to stop at least for a second.

A pair of strong arms picked me up, pulling me into his lap. His arms wrapped themselves around my shoulders, tucking my head into his neck, while mine circled his torso, holding on him for dear life.

“Shh, baby don’t cry.” He whispered.

The sound of his voice sent a jolt of pain through my body as I cried uncontrollably. This had never happened to me before, I’ve never had such a brutal emotional breakdown.

“Please, sunshine I’m begging you, stop crying.” His voice sounded urgent this time, his hands running up and down my back in a shooting manner.

My whole body was shaking and it was getting harder to breath. I couldn’t stop, I felt no control over my body.

Suddenly, he unwrapped his arms from around me, replacing his hands on either side of my face, forcing me to face him.

“Melissa, stop it.” His eyes were wide, “Please, calm down.”

I was still shaking but I could feel myself breathing deeper than before as I attempted to stop crying.

His thumb was running soothingly over my jaw soothingly as his eyes stared into my own, making me focus on them and nothing else.

“There you go, breath.” He exhaled, “You’re okay, baby.”

A shaky breath left my lips as the tears still ran down my face but I was finally sitting still. His forehead dropped on mine and I took a deep breath.

“You’re okay. I’m here.” He whispered, his hand moving down to my neck rather than my face.

Kissing my forehead, he laid my head back on his shoulder, my tears finally stopping.

I don’t know how long we sat there on the floor, in the middle of the street that was thankfully deserted, in silence. Just being with each other. Feeling each other’s skin, listening to each other’s heartbeats, breathing each other’s scents.

My arms were still tightly wrapped around his torso, afraid that he would disappear again. His right arm was holding my shoulders to his chest while the left one caressed my back, occasionally through my hair.

Shifting a little closer, I placed a kiss on the skin of his neck, the taste of his skin so familiar all of a sudden that I wanted to cry all over again.

I felt him shiver and nuzzled my face even further into him.

“You fucker, if you ever leave me again…” I trailed off. I hadn’t been planning on saying that but the words left my mouth before I knew it.

He chuckled softly, the sound warming my heart.

“I don’t think I could survive being without you again.” He mumbled into my hair.
