            Elyse POV

I watched them taking him away, disappearing slowly through the dark corridor. I was worried and pained to see him going with her, and them. I don't know what they are doing to him but I can't take it any longer, the sight of last night's scars on his temporal ridges broke my heart. I need to know everything about him, so I can help him.

I walked out of the room and quietly ran after them, well, I think I was too caught up on my feelings to go for such a decision, another reckless decision. I followed them with careful steps, praying God to make it work and they don't notice me. soon, they arrived to the end of the corridor, Oh well, I have never seen this side of the corridor, it looked pretty hostile and terrifying. They opened one of the rooms' door and walked in, I was still standing there, wondering what to do next, I can't just open the door and get in, there must be another way.

And yes, there was, eavesdropping was the only thing I got in my package at such an intense moment. I stepped closer to the door and pressed my ear on it, I couldn't hear anything

'the room must be soundproofed' I thought to myself, but then I heard her revolting voice giggling "look at you, you can't even blink, how can you defend your body now?" she blurted

"You can't imagine how crazy I am about your body!"

All her words disgusted and irritated me like never before. She is insane...

I could hear nothing but odd sounds coming from her, the sounds were enough to make me puke everything I ate this entire year. I can only imagine what she was doing. Oh, my innocent ears, I beg for forgiveness. There was heavy feeling inside my chest, blocking my throat like a giant rock, I breathed in and out but air wouldn't enter my lungs. Starved for air, my heart raced at tremendous speeds, and my lungs shallowly rose and fell in time. I stood there for what felt like an eternity but was actually only five minutes.

Before anyone notices me, I immediately ran away. I didn't even notice how fast I was going downstairs, it was the anger, the fear or probably both. I can't imagine him in such situation, not after seeing the real him last night. no matter how much he keeps hiding it but he was in pain, he was scared of them and ashamed of himself. He was punishing himself for something, something I don't know, but I need to as soon as possible.

I arrived to the residence before the sunrise, carefully walking inside my room. Olivia was heavenly sleeping, just as usual. I'm so glad she is a heavy sleeper, otherwise she would have exposed me to everyone.

I clambered into the bed. I lied there, snuggled up in my sheets waiting for myself to slowly fall asleep. I can't take him out of my head, it feels like my brain only functions on his existence, every idea, notion and event from last night was replaying in my mind, demanding analysis and results.

Out of all the thoughts that matters about his case, my mind suddenly parked on that one thought that I was trying to avoid, the way he gently embraced me on his large arms, despite the heaviness of my Asthma attack, I fluttered at the feeling of my body pressed against his. I sunk into the warmth of his side, appreciative of the simple gesture. His touch made the room warmer somehow, and soothed my heart like never before. I didn't want to leave. It felt as if when I was in his arms all my pain went away.

I know I sound nothing different than Leyla now, but I truly felt something warm inside me. it increased my urge to protect him from everything, even himself, even myself.

I sighed heavily and stared at the ceiling, I don't feel like sleeping anymore.

"Can't sleep?!" Olivia's voice interrupted my thoughts
