"We're Gonna Be Alright"

|| 8 ||

We're flying above the sea. I've never been in an airplane before. It's really cool.
I can see the beautiful clouds and a few raindrops sometimes.

When we finally arrive, i feel so safe and i wanna jump.

"I am finally free can you believe it?" , i shout to Jason, dancing ,still with my small suitcase in my hand.

He doesn't say a word. He just stands there, watching me with a huge smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" i say standing in front of him.

"Nothing. Everything is absolutely perfect."

He smiles wide and leans in for a big hug.

Can i handle this? I don't think so.

'L..look. There's a man selling ice cream right there. We should get some now." i say leaving him there.

I am okay, i am okay. He didn't hug me. I avoided it.

He runs after me and we buy some ice cream.

"Where are we gonna stay?" i ask curiously.

His parents probably have an apartment here or something.

"I actually have a house here."

Of course. I knew it.

"Your parents are really rich aren't they?" i ask.

He seems like he didn't like the question tho.

"Yeah kinda. Come on, let's go."

...

The apartment is large and convenient. It's a cute house with two floors.

It's love at first sight. I already feel like this place could be my lovely home...

I may not need any drugs from now on. But it's gonna be difficult.
I'll still have these terrible dreams about pills and Daniel above my head trying to rip off all my clothes.

I don't want to remember these. These are memories made of poison and i hate every single one of them.

"This is your room", he informs me, as we enter a large bedroom. There's a king-size bed right in the front and a huge balcony.

"We..really don't have any furniture but my parents will send us a few things." he scratches his neck with anxiety.

"It's perfectly fine. I love the way i'll be able to see the sunset from the balcony." i say smiling wide.

This is like a dream. My hero came to save me and brought me to a beautiful palace. I thought these things don't happen in real life!

"I am glad you like the place. Umm..i am gonna go downstairs to unpack some groceries. You can also unpack your things and get some of them in the bathroom and stuff..."

"Wait! I just realised. I have my personal bathroom! Omg that's so cool!" i shout excited.

I haven't been that excited for so long...and right now, just a room can make me the happiest person alive. Because i am free. And i am here with Jason, far away from Daniel.

I know he'll look for me. But i am in Europe now. So he won't find me. Ever again.

I am so happy and relieved. I run towards Jason and hang from his neck, hugging him tightly.
It's a hug-a touch, but i realise i don't even care and it doesn't scare me!

I start crying from happiness as Jason is caressing my hair softly. I am still in his arms.

"Wow...it's just a bathroom Ari. You don't have to be that happy for this." he smiles and hugs me even tighter, realising that this is the first time i am letting him touch me.

"It's not just the bathroom. You've done everything for me. I can't even describe how thankful i am"

He releases me. His hand tries to wipe my tears away, but i can't accept that. It's just too much for me. I avoid his touch.

"I am sorry." he says.

"Doesn't matter. I hugged you and it felt warm and good."

He smiles even wider.
