Don't Make A Sound

♣ 19 ♣

Isabella's POV:

The night was long and at four in the morning I had finally fallen asleep. News spread and Matt's death was all over tv.

My dad had given me a new medication to help with my sleep but a nightmare was still able to peak through as it made me jump awake.

I noticed Adrian had let go of me some time during the night. I turned on my lamp but Adrian was no where to be seen.

Glancing at my bathroom door, I saw the light under it. I sighed and got up before heading to it. I didn't know why but I was nervous to open the door and once I did I realized why. In the corner of the bathroom, Adrian sat looking at the wall.  A tear fell from his cheek before he quickly wiped it away.

I felt like everything was my fault. My burning eyes began to water as guilt piled on me. I couldn't handle seeing him cry because his best friend is gone. And I feel like I could've done more. I walked over to him and put my hands on his damp cheeks.

"Adrian, I-I'm so sorry." I told him,

My voice was scratchy as I tried to swallow the recurring lump in my throat. I could see the heart break and pain in his eyes. It made me feel like I was looking in the mirror. He sniffled before wiping more tears and trying to hide his pain.

"I just can't believe he's just gone. I can't believe all of this is happening. Why is he doing this?" He asked,

I looked down, I felt like I dragged him into my tragic life. Had we not met, he wouldn't be involved in all this. He would keep living normally and his best friend Matt would still be alive. I missed Matt so much. He had a huge life ahead of him. 

He didn't get to even graduate, nor see where his and Angie's relationship would go.

"Because of me." I answered,

It had sounded more like I croaked, a single tear had fallen from my eye as I swallowed hard. He stared at me, taking in my answer.

It was so sudden that I didn't get to react right away, but Adrian had put his hand on my cheek before colliding his lips with mine. 

I felt his feelings flow into me, all of his sadness. The emptiness inside of him. I could feel all of his pain radiating off of him. He kissed me in desperation and necessity. 

I knew he needed comfort from me, I kissed him back slowly as he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. 

We slowly stood up as I got lost in the kiss, feeling the room spin. I let my pain and feelings flow into the kiss too. Letting him comfort me as I comforted him, we both needed each other.

He suddenly grabbed my legs and picked me up, wrapping them around his waist. I gasped in surprise and he took that as an opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. Playing along with mine.

Adrian walked with me in his arms to the bed before setting me down. Once I had laid down, he had broke from the kiss. 

I looked at him in question, wondering if I had done something wrong before seeing the tears burning in his eyes. 

"I'm sorry." He whispered, shaking his head.

I knew what he was talking about. I gently put my hands on his cheeks before moving him to look at me.

"It's okay. I-I've just never done this before but I trust you." I told him, 

He looked at me in shock before shaking his head again.

"Princess-" He started, but I interrupted knowing what he was going to say.

"We need this. I want this."
