Eli's POV

It didn't take long before I was back at the waiting room again, or maybe it was because of the darkness that might've slow the time down. I got tossed out of the ride and fall onto the floor with my feet hitting it first, I'm used to doing this at least five times a day.

The first thing I saw, or the first person, was Y/N. She was sitting at the back of the table and staring at me, her eyes were a bit unfocused so I knew that she must've stayed like that for a long time. Her braid was loosened while she was running and her hair was now all messed up, but somehow it made her more alive and attractive. The only thing that made me frowned was her eyes, they were beautiful, but it looked like she has been crying forever since the skin around was all red and slightly puffed up. I remembered her shouting out and fighting crazily, trying to get back to my side during the match. I suddenly felt a bit guilty. It must've frightened her so much seeing Michiko hitting me, especially on her first match...

She blinked at the sight of me, as if not believing was she was seeing. I gave a hopeful smile and started walking towards the table while Y/N suddenly stood up, nearly knocking her chair over and rushed towards me. My owl was following behind her and so was Kurt and Emily. She put her brakes on right in front of me and opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something. I notice that Kurt and Emily took a few steps back, giving us some private space.

I turned back to face Y/N and couldn't help blushing when I found how close she was to me. She held her hand up, her eyes widened as if she was sleep walking. She suddenly let out a big smile and raised her arms, ready to pull me into a hug...

But something seemed to have crossed her mind, the sparkles in her eyes were gone and the side of her lips fell down as she pulled her arms back awkwardly, changing the direction half way through to hold my hand and smiled nervously at me. I could feel her hand shaking slightly and I frowned, didn't know what's going on. She stared at me for a while and said with a husky voice: "I'm so glad you survived..."

I smiled at her, but she didn't smile back the sweet and nervous smile she usually would give me. Her beautiful eyes were shaded with tears and gloom as she continued to stare at me and I got the strongest feeling that something was wrong, something had happened before I got out of the map that... changed her.

I didn't know why it happened, but seeing her in this state really broke my heart so I took a step forward and hugged her. It's not the first time I'm doing this, but I've never hugged her in public. I guess I just couldn't see or feel anything else when she was around. Emily, Kurt and the waiting room were all blurred into the background, she was the only one in this world that gave me these feelings.

Naib and Michiko were right.

I'd be lying to myself if I say I wasn't in love with Y/N.

She let out a little gasp as I wrapped my arms gently around her and put my chin on her shoulder, I could smell the special scent on her again. And I could see Emily's face gone red as she covered her mouth with her hands, fighting back a surprised and happy squeal while Kurt smiled and winked at me. Then I realized what I was doing, I guess I blushed at little bit but I didn't let go. There's something I need to say to her.

"I... I'm sorry if it scared you, Y/N..." I mumbled, a wave of guiltiness swooping over me. I could felt her body tensing up, but after a few seconds she relaxed and carefully raised her arm to hug back.
