Game of survival

Chapter No13

I look around me as I run like hell,faced with the cold air of winter.My heart pounding in my chest,ready to burst out.But that can't stop me.I keep running.Running until I see the familiar warehouse we camped in.I have to warn him!We have to go!We are no longer safe..They have found us.

"Adam we have to go now!"I shout pushing the doors open.But my heart breaks to a million pieces at what I see."No.."I freeze at the body lying in the middle of the warehouse."No!"I scream running,falling to my knees next to him.

"No no no!Please..Adam!"I cry out and take his upper body in my arm."Please wake up!"My voice breaks and my hand squeezes the fabric of his jacket between my fingers.I let a loud cry out and hold his body closer.

My body shakes..

"Hayley!"I hear a familiar voice calling me."Hayley!!"The voice shouts louder.

I shoot up in a sitting position,waking roughly from my nightmare.My chest is moving up and down like crazy,tears refusing to stop running down my cheeks and I swallow hard,releasing a rough breath after.In my ears there is a horrific buzzing sound when I feel his voice bringing me back.

"Hayley?Hayley what's wrong?"He holds my face,staring deep in my eyes.But I can't concentrate.Everything is turning to a blur,my throat closing up refusing to let me breath.

I put my hand on my chest where my heart is,and he realizes what is happening to me in a flash.

I'm having a panic attack again.

"Hayley what's wrong?"He asks me his eyes filled with worry and I shove him to the side stumbling out the doors where I fall to my knees,trying to ease my breathing,but fail dramatically.

Elias runs to me and puts one hand on my cheek and one where my neck and shoulder connect.

"Hayley just breathe alright?Breathe."He says and breaths slowly suggesting me to do the same."Deep breaths Hayley come on.Do it."He says and I start to do the same."There you go.."He slowly says and I hide my head in my hands,almost touching my head on the ground,letting a whimper out.

"Hayley."He says in a low tone and I sit down,sniffing."You were calling out his name."He says and moves a string of hair behind my ear."You were calling out for Adam."His fingers travels down my jawline and sits back down on his knee.

"I'm so sorry..I-I haven't had a panic attack in so long."I say and sniff again.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I..I saw my brother's death..The night I found him."My voice cracks and he nodds.

"You'll be fine.."He squeezes my shoulder and helps me get up.

"I'll stay out here for a little bit if that's fine."I say and he shoves his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah of course."He walks back in and I run my hand through my hair.

God why did it had to be now?Two years and nothing.I managed to control it all this time.Why did I loose control now?Of all the times this could have happened..I didn't want him to see me like this.

I spend two hours out here studying the stars aimlessly,before I go back in.I look at Elias sleeping,a feeling of calmness taking over me.

Beautiful.

I lie next to him,to my little spot,and close me eyes,but it's still very hard to fall asleep.

The morning comes quickly after I manage to fall asleep.Elias is already awake,opening some canned food.

I rubb my eyes and sit next to him,but he stays quiet.There are three possibilities about that.

One:He thinks I'd rather not talk about yesterday;
