"Did you hear that?", he said looking in my eyes all desperate. He wasn't sure what to do, but I could tell, whatever it is, he was scared of it.
"No, I didn't hear anything." I said calmly. " I think they're all gone."
"They wouldn't just leave us here on our own, not before questioning us out about the whole thing."
At this very moment, my eyes started to tear up. This little sentence triggered it all. It made my mind replay the scene of what my eyes have witnessed. The pictures have successfully been turned into life again. Just by this little sentence!
"No" I whispered. I placed my head on my knees to hide my face and to let the irrational tears fall down my cheeks.
"Hey, are you crying?"
I shook my head no, but who was I kidding. Everything could be heard in this dead silence. He probably did so.
I suddenly felt him really close to me. So close that I could feel his warmth. He is really close to me. Willingly. Not because he had to like a couple days ago. It felt good though. I felt safe for a moment. That was what I needed now.
The silence died.
"Whatever it is that makes you cry, it's not worth your tears." He said in his soft voice, never failing at calming me down. "You deserve to shed tears of joy only."
"Maybe, I'm crying out of joy, how would you know?" He laughed.
"Of course you do. Sorry my bad, I should start crying too then."
"Why would you cry?" I said managing to look up to him.
"Out of joy of course. Being stuck is fun as you said." Our eyes met.
"I didn't say it was fun!"
"But you were crying out of jo-"
"No silly, I wasn't" I interrupted him.
We both surprisingly laughed. It was like escaping the bad thoughts and this horrible world for a not long lasting moment. I liked it. For some unexplainable reason I couldn't keep the eye contact any longer but I still felt his look on me.
"Everything's gonna be good." His soft angelic voice making me tingly inside again. Or was it his smooth finger tucking my hair behind my ear to get it out of my face, so he could see my eyes.
How I wish that this hand would never let my face go. He wiped a fresh tear away.
"I promise you, butterfly! That's the least I can do for you."
My heart was skipping a beat again.
~ what did he just call me?
