You Will Be Okay Here: Christian Novelli

Chapter Thirty Four

Christian POV:

Empty, hollow, soulless, fragile, incomplete.

I know that feeling when you almost leave yourself in search of that which makes you happiest just to see if they're doing the same.

"Stop being so miserable. You haven't been to any parties yet. Come on man, they miss you... I miss you" Damon exclaimed, slowly quieting his voice as he spoke.

"I do apologise Damon, I have not being feeling myself lately"

"Sorry man but come out. Might do ya good?"

"Hm... Okay." honestly, I missed the parties and seeing everyone but I also missed Anna. Although, we have spoken to each other everyday, I physically missed her; her body pushed up against mine, the taste of her strawberry lipgloss on her mouth, the way she traced hearts into my skin with her gentle finger, most of all though, I miss her happy, cheery presence and how her beautiful smile is brighter a thousand cities merged into one.

I feel incomplete without her. Have you ever felt this way?

Anna POV:

"I close my eyes and I can see him, then i open my eyes, and he's not there. Laying in his double bed alone, I turn in the night and I can feel him but i open my eyes and it's all just lies because he's not there.

I see him in my dreams he holds me in the night but when i wake up he's gone. Things just don't seem right but when i close my eyes to sleep I know it's him who will be there. Don't want to wake up anymore because then he'd disappear" I sniffled into the phone.

"You poetic lil' shit" Patty joked on the other end, "dammit, I am crying now"

"Sorry Patty" I apologised, "I just miss him. It doesn't feel right being in his house alone"

"He will be back in a few days. I'm guessing ya not missing us then" my American best friend giggled which made me smile through the tears.

"Of course I am. You the most though. Ssshh don't tell the others"

"Promise. What time is it over there?"

"Errrmm," I searched for a clock, "3:56am. Woah" I laughed at the realisation, "what about in the Uk?"

"Not sure but it's afternoon. Aren't you tired sweetie?"

"No" I spoke with sadness in my voice, "I can't sleep. I have tried but the nightmares are back and at their worst"

"Well you need to sleep okay. If you have a nightmare, ring me okay? I will try my best to help. I'll send some Patty love over the phone." I chuckled at his comments. "Okay Anna? promise you'll ring meh?"

"I promise"

"Okay. Goodnight hunni"

"Patty wait!"

"Yeah?"

"Could you erm, sing me a song to help me sleep?"

"Oh, my voice that bad huh?" Patty teased "okay. Climb into bed...

'Here in this world I'm awaked with mistakes

But it's love that keeps fueling me

Fueling me

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes

Would you show them to me?

I know I'm not that perfect

But you stay awhile

Baby, then you will see

Miles away I can still feel you

Lay your head down on my embrace

My embrace

Far away

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes

Would you show them to me?

I know I'm not that perfect

But you stay awhile

Baby, then you will see

Don't give up, baby

I know that it's shaky

Just let love consume us

Consume us...

Here in this world I'm awaked with mistakes

But it's love that keeps fueling me

Fueling me to love you

Miles away I can still feel you

Lay your head down on my embrace

Be not afraid to love me

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes

Would you show them to me?

I know I'm not that perfect

But you stay awhile

Baby, then you will see'

.... Goodnight Anna"
