"If he comes back and takes me with him AGAIN," her words were running in my mind.

   "Nothing will happen ok. I am here with you.,"I told her while holding her hand.

  " I am too scared. " I sat beside her. It was looking like she wanted to tell me something.

" is there anything you want to tell me or anything you didn't tell?" she said nothing

   " it's ok if you don't want to tell me and not trust me." it hurt that she wasn't opening up. I faked smiled at her.

   "take a rest I will come after sometime,"

"no," she said, I looked at her in confusion "I mean I want to tell you everything but I don't want the flash back again and again. When ever I think it look like it happened just now."

she took a deep breath and continued "And i trust you more than me."  That made me smile at her.

   "it's ok I don't want to push you and force you to say anything. Take your time, no worries." I looked at her relieved expression.

Drake left for his work. Meanwhile, I took a rest and recalled the conversation with drake in my head. I thought a lot and my head felt heavy. My eyes slowly closed, and I slept for few hours. After getting up I suddenly sat straight to look if drake is back but I couldn't find anyone my leg hurt at my sudden movement. I got freshen up and had some sandwiches Mrs. Vincent made for me. I thought of waiting for drake but my hunger did not let me wait more. I changed into the clothes drake's mum gifted me it was a long black night gown which reached my feet. The sleeves were full net, and it tightened a rope around my waist. I did a loose french plait hairdo.

After helping me get ready Mrs. Vincent said she had some urgent work to do and will be back soon. She asked if I need anything and left. 

After a few minutes I heard a knock which made me jump. And my heart skipped a beat. He is here. I looked around and saw a crutch beside the bed. I slowly took it.

I opened the door slowly walking with the crutches; he was typing something on his phone when he looked up to greet but paused before opening his mouth. His eyes widened a little, and he froze. He looked at me from top to bottom. When his gaze traveled down I had goosebumps attack. His gaze piercing through my body. My leg suddenly gave up the ability to stand more, and I was about to fall when within seconds I was hanging in a drake's big hands. I just forgot how to breathe my mind spun. I couldn't understand if it was because of medicines or drake's deep eyes.

"what are you doing here?" he whispered.

"i.. Umm actually your mum wasn't here so.." I started to explain when he took me in his arms and banged the door close with his legs. I couldn't understand  what made him so fierce maybe because I was walking in this condition. He put me on the bed and I sat comfortably. He placed pillows beneath my fractured led and moved but his strong cologne never left making my heart warm.

He looked at me and sat beside slowly. Why does he come close makes me both comfortable and uncomfortable both?

"anna please take a rest." he requested.

"I don't want to sleep anymore." I replied. He smirked.

"then what do you want to do? Watch a movie or play games?" he asked.
"talk to you drake. I just want to talk to you" I couldn't believe I said that. My need to tell him everything that bothered me from so long just got stronger and my eyes heated. He noticed my expression and moved forward placing my hand in his.
