Somewhere in Italy}

The past several days were marvelous, the couple had gone sightseeing making all these memories that neither of them would ever forget. The nights were filled with laughter, and romantic dinners, along with passionate love making through the night.

But today was a day where they were staying in the hotel, relaxing and occasionally going to sit by the pool. The only hiccup in that plan was at the moment Melissa was curled up in bed, staring at the wall in front of her. Nick was at the in-hotel gym, not giving up his work-out routine just cause they were on vacation.

She wasn't like this for any logical reason... she loved Nick, her life right now was more than perfect. She loved him with every last fiber in her.

Tears began to stream down her face, she didn't care though. There was a hollow feeling in her heart, maybe it was just cause she had depression and anxiety. Soon her tears turned to sobs, but once again, she didn't care.

Nick wasn't expecting any of this when he walked into the room. "Angel?" he mumbled, gasping as he saw his beautiful girlfriend's current state, "h-hey.. h-hey..." he exclaimed, hurrying over to her.

It was as if she was frozen, didn't even budge when he sat in front of her. He picked her up into his arms, resting her small frame in his lap. Her sobs had subsided, but she was still frantically shaking.

"D-Don't leave me..." she mumbled, her face hidden in his chest, as she fisted at the t-shirt material that he was wearing. "B-Babe..." it was like as if there were voices swirling in her head, convincing her of things she didn't want to believe any longer.

"I'd never leave you babygirl. Remember? It's you and me forever." he whispered in her ear, his large hand rubbing her back underneath the shirt of his that was on her. "Just... please, what is going on in that head of yours...?" he begged.

"I-I don't... I don't know." she cried, her eyes locking with his, all she saw was concern and love, "I feel... the voices; they won't stop. I feel all alone. Th-The anxiety won't stop." she choked out.

She hated feeling like she was a burden, like she made everything worse. She didn't like feeling so helpless. Or that the world actually did hate her.

But here she was... feeling more empty than she ever has before.

Nick sighed, relief flowing through him, quite happy that she wasn't thinking suicidal thoughts... just some anxiety. "You know you're never alone. I'm here, feel me babygirl?"

He reached for her shaking hands, resting one of her palms against his chest, right where his heart was, "feel that? I'm real. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." he smiled weakly at her.

And just like that, her heart rate slowed down, and she felt at ease. "I'm sorry.. I don't know what came over me." she whispered.

"Don't be sorry princess, I understand." he pressed a kiss to her lips. "but please listen to me... just like you wanted the old me a few years back. I need my fun-loving, bright-eyed Melissa back. The one that always knows how to make me smile my true smile. Find your way back to me angel. You're so loved... I promise. You're cherished, and I will always need you.
