The Mind Trap.

Relief.

**Hunter's POV**

My breath was harsh. My breathing becoming difficult to catch. We've run back to the appointment, knowing nothing about what made the sounds.

Kaleb had no clue what was going on, he just followed me. Everywhere I turn I remember my past. It's either my father and sister or Toby. Life keep bringing the memories back to me.

I felt suffocated within myself. I wanted to rip my hair out at this point. From my eyes, everything seemed so disoriented.

I felt confused and trapped. I thought that no one knew about what could possibly be wrong. If I told someone they won't understand, not today or tomorrow or the day after that.

The nerves in my body started to play, making my hands shiver from fear. I walked to my mirror but all I can see was broken.

My body wrote broken on me. A tear slipped, trickling down my cheek ever so slowly. I heard the door slowly opening by the creaking sounds it made.

My body was turned around by the hands of someone. Warmth greeted me like a surprise visit from your beloved parents on Christmas morning. Safety sealed it's way through me and my figure stood tall and straight.

Those strong arms wrapped itself around me. The warm liquid burst out my eyes, staining the soft skin under it's touch. I squeezed my eyes shut. Every noise around me faded into thin air.

The feeling of grieve and sorrow interlaced in my veins making me weak. Strokes were lightly place on my back. I rested my head against Kaleb's firm chest.

These feelings were not new to me but more like rediscovered. Kaleb loosened his hold on me moving away. His hand snaked around my feet and back picking me up bridal style. My hands covered my face, preventing him from seeing how broken I truly am.

He walked over and placed me on the bed before hopping into it himself.

"Hey, move your hands." He murmured slowly and softly. I didn't want him to see how broken I was. It would just add to his problems.

He attempted to remove my hands but I refused. Instead I kept my hands clasped firmly against my face and I turned away from him.

His hand slithered it's way over my side, wrapping itself around my curved waist.

" Whenever you want to talk about it let me know." He mumbled into the back of my neck before digging his face between the pillow and me.

The air which he released, slammed against my neck, signaling all the hair in my body to stand pin straight. A shiver glide it's way down my back while the feeling of frustration blurred my eyes.

I couldn't take it anymore, knowing that he's behind me waiting for answers but the question is could I give him any?

I removed my hands from my face, turning around to face him. The rock now in front of me open his sleepy eyes. Two perfectly blue eyes stared at me, waiting for my next move.

His eyes didn't seem like it wanted to leave mine. It sucked in my appearance. He looked at my red, watery eyes, red nose and red cheeks stained with tears.

"Tell me Hunter. You know I'm hear for you no matter what." He said before hearing me sigh. His expression was mask over with confusion and wanting.

I didn't think twice before I started to talk. All I knew was that I couldn't take anything anymore.

"My father used to rape my sister when I was smaller." I was able to say but my voice was shaky. I took a deep breath before I continued," and when Toby tried to rape me all the memories came back. I had gotten over it but now..now I just can't. It's.. it's like witnessing everything all over again. And everywhere I turn there's something to either remember my sister and father or Toby. It's so..ugh...I just want it to stop!" I cried, tears streaming down my face.

I sat up, bringing my knees to my chest," I just want it to stop Kaleb." I murmured.

Kaleb sat up besides me," I have something to tell you." He whispered, his eyes filled with grieve.

"What?" I asked softly, my voice barely audible, turning all my attention to him.

"I didn't tell you what was going on in my dreams because..." He trailed off, bending his head down, glaring at the bedsheet beneath us.

"Because Amanda...she..she um..she rape me when I was younger." He said just under a whisper. A tear escaped his eye. A gasp came out from between my lips before I wrapped him in a hug.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, cradling his head in the croak of my neck. A sniffle was heard from him," I didn't wanted to worry you." He cried.

"Worry me? Worry me Kaleb? You're making your life worst when you keep everything inside. You should have told me....at least I told you what's going on with me." I squeaked out, both angry and grief for him.

"I know but it's hard to talk about it. Hunter, rape! Do you know what is rape? I got raped!" He yelled, pointing at himself and crying. The tears drenched his light colored skin.

I brought my finger up under his eyes and wiped away his tears," I'm sorry for over reacting but if this is the cause of everything you should have told me. You can't work everything out by yourself. You need someone to help you. You need me to help you even though I'm going through hard times as well, we can work it out. Together." I said, tears dripping down my cheeks.

"We can?" He asked, his voice shakier than a old, wooden floor.

His question brought depression to brim my features," Yes, yes we can. If we work together we can. We can do anything once we put our mind to it." I smiled out, crying while I spoke.

"I want it to stop." He murmured, lying down on the bed. I lean back on the wall next to him, looking down at his broken looking figure.

He placed his head on my stomach and wrapped his hand around my waist. I started to play with his hair, trying to calm him down," don't worry, we'll make it out of this stage in life. We both will get over our problems and move on in life. Everything will be okay." I assured him.

His breathing began to slow down I kissed him on his forehead which made him look up at me. His eyes twinkled and his cheeks turned a light pink. Our eyes connected. He brought himself over me. His lips were a glistening pink which made me want them to touch mine. I licked my lips causing to moan softly. He brought his head closer to mine as his hands held him up caging me. I brought my face closer to his until our nose brushed against each others. Just the touch of him made my goosebumps raised. I couldn't take my eyes of his lips and he couldn't take his eyes of me. He brushed his lips against mine because pulling away teasing me a bit. When he move im back his lips connected with mine. The sparks it sent through my body cause me to heat up. I moved my hands to his as he kissed me slowly. My fingers imterlaced with the strands of his hair making him moan in between the kiss. I pulled his muscular body closer to mine. His kissed trailed down to my jaw and to my neck. "No!"I whined trying to pull him back up but he just kept kissing until he came back up to my lips and teased me once more with a peck. I furrowed my eyebrows at him. "You're not nice you know that?" I huffed out pushing him which barely did anything. "Okay, okay. I want tease you anymore." He assured me. His eyes admired every inch of my face. "You're beautiful Hunter. Why do you doubt it? You're the most beautiful sight my eyes ever laid on. I know it sounds cliché but I love you Hunter and I need you
..every last bit of you I need. You're my air supply and without you I can't live." He whispered to me. My cheeks heat up. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. "You're the only person that keeps me sane. Without you I'll probably go mad and drive of a cliff." I whispered to him causing him to laugh. "What the ass?" He questioned in between laughters. He brought his lips back down to mine kissing me with even more passion.
