Chapter 47: Breathe

CHRISTINA

I rush into his room and grab onto his hands as tight as I can. Tears stream down my cheeks and leave a red trail behind. My mascara spreads all over my face.

"I won't let you go. Not now. Not ever. Please" my eyes become more and more blurry by the second.

I faintly hear his heart beats as I cling onto his hand for dear life. I lay my head on his hands closing my eyes as I sob.

"Where am I?"

I jerk my head up immediately. I look into his eyes as my heart softens.

"I almost thought I lost you" I break out into a grin as the tears keep coming.

"Who are you?"

24 hours earlier

"Wait wait. Slow down" Christians eyes widen trying to comprehend everything I just said.

"Esta aqui. He's here. Lo mire. I saw him Christian. I saw him" my eyes start to water.

"What did he say?"

I stay silent trying to recall what had happened. I feel the room start to get smaller. The air in my lungs is no longer there. The air refuses to go in. My breaths become heavy and fast. My throats gets tighter. My body trembles. It's closing in on me. I can't breathe. My eyes go blurry.

"Christina. Christina!" He yells holding onto me.

Their voices start to fade as I can only scream. My body doesn't move yet I'm screaming. I can't feel it but I am. 

"What's wrong with her?" Grayson yells.

"She's having a panic attack" I faintly hear Christian yell.

Christian rocks me back and forth trying to get me to calm down.

"Tell her soothing things"

"Why me?"

"Because she loves you Grayson"

"Hey, baby, calm down. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. I'm here. I'm here. I'm not leaving you. I'm not leaving you" he grips my hands assuring me he won't leave me.

My screams finally become silent and my tears soon give out. My body slowly stops trembling. As my breaths go back to normal, I find myself in Grayson's arms.

"Shhh, it's okay. I'm here. I'm here" he plays with my hair.

I wipe away the tears and sit up as he holds me.

"What happened?" Christian asks.

"He's been working with Cameron. Thats how he got out. That's why he's here. That's how he knew about the twins"

He pushes away a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. Grayson slowly lets me go. Christian places his forehead against mine.

"Siera tus ojos y respere" he tells me.

I take in a deep breath and wish for it all to go away. Every time we were forced to hide in a closet as screams filled the walls of house, he'd tell me to close my eyes and breathe. And I did. It somehow soothes me even with everything that had happened. And it still soothes me now.
