I Won't Let You Go

Chapter 13

Agnetha continued to cry in the bathroom for a little while more until she heard footsteps coming into the bathroom. She heard a man's voice yelling for her and she couldn't deny that the man's voice belonged to Björn.

"Anna, Anna! Where are you?!" Björn exclaimed as he entered the bathroom in search for Agnetha.

Björn continued to look for Agnetha for a little while more until he picked up a noise that almost sounded like sobbing sounds. He went closer to the stall where the sounds were coming from and right there and then, Björn realized that it was Agnetha who was inside that stall. She was crying.

"Anna! Anna, open up!" Björn exclaimed as he pounded on the stall door.

Agnetha felt frightened by Björn's loud knocks on the stall door. She immediately opened it and immediately noticed Björn's worried looking face. Björn, on the other hand, felt a sign of relief as he held Anna in his arms.

"Agnetha, there you are!" Björn exclaimed as he took Agnetha into his arms. "Christ baby, what happened?"

"I-I t-thought I lost you, Björn!" Agnetha exclaimed tearfully.

"What do you mean?" Björn asked carefully as he pulled away from her for a bit.

"I woke up this morning a-and...and I d-didn't see you. I though y-you h-had left me, Björn!" Agnetha exclaimed as she burst into tears again.

"Shh...Agnetha. I didn't leave you. I was just in the bathroom getting ready for today. I would never ever leave you again, Agnetha. I'm here now and I won't let you go," Björn replied reassuringly.

"Please don't let me go, Björn," Agnetha sniffled. "Too many people let me go over the years and I can't take it anymore!"

"Shh...I'm here. I'm always here. I'm not leaving," Björn said as he held her reassuringly.

After a while, Björn and Agnetha headed back to the lounge area to eat their food. Benny, Frida, Görel, and Michael immediately felt concerned for Agnetha after what had happened.

"How are you feeling, Anna?" Frida asked as she rushed over to her best friend and hugged her.

"I'm fine," Agnetha replied quietly.

The group of friends decided to drop the subject for now and continued eating. However, Agnetha ate very little of her food which was something that the others noticed almost immediately. They were immediately concerned for her as usual, not only because she has always been fond of Asian cuisine, but because of her age. They vowed that they had to act immediately.

After lunch, the friends got back to work before calling it a day. Björn and Agnetha promised to be back at Mono the next day. They hopped in the car and this time they decided to play music as usual. This time from the local radio station. The song that was being played was Havana by Camila Cabello. Björn couldn't help but smile gratefully as Agnetha hummed along to the song.

They got home and sat around for quite a bit before it was time to make dinner. Agnetha got cooking with Björn's help and Björn couldn't help but admire Agnetha as she shifted around the kitchen as they cooked some cheese ravioli for dinner. He smiled and smirked gratefully to himself as he noticed Agnetha's movements. I've missed seeing her cook. In fact, I really missed the moments Agnetha and I would cook together. I'm so glad we are doing it again for the first time in over 40 years, he thought.

Agnetha turned around to ask Björn something and she immediately noticed Björn facial expression. Tears immediately welled in Agnetha's eyes and she ran off. Tilda happened to be walking into the kitchen to see what her grandparents had been making for dinner since she was able to smell the food cooking from her bedroom.

"Hey Morfar. Where did Mormor go?" Tilda asked.

"I don't know. I better check on her. Do you mind turning the stove off while I go get her and talk to her sweetheart?" Björn replied.

"Sure," Tilda replied as she turned off the stove.

Björn immediately ran out of the kitchen in search for Agnetha with Tilda following behind. Linda took notice of Björn and Tilda looking for Agnetha and decided to join in. Ultimately, they found her sobbing quietly on the porch.

"Agnetha, there you are!" Björn exclaimed as he ran over to her.

"Just leave me alone, Björn!" Agnetha exclaimed through her tears.

"What happened Mama? Are you ok?" Linda asked.

"Yes I'm fine, Linda!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am. Please I just want to be left alone!"

Linda and Tilda started to walk away followed by Björn. They were very reluctant to leave Agnetha in the state that she was in. Björn sat down with his daughter and granddaughter and the three of them were concerned.

"I wish we can help Mormor with her depression," Tilda said quietly. "She's had it for as long as I can remember and I don't think it's ever been this bad."

"Yeah," Linda sighed.

"She needs help. This isn't the first time today that she's had a breakdown. This is her third one today," Björn said firmly.

"Did she breakdown in the studio?" Linda asked.

"Yes she did. And she hasn't been eating either," Björn replied.

Linda and Tilda nodded their heads in agreement. Agnetha hadn't been eating lately and had already lost a significant amount of weight. They agreed that they needed to do something drastic and fast. They decided to drop the conversation for now and Björn went back to finishing the ravioli.

After a nice family dinner, the family went ahead and did their own things. While the girls did their homework, and the others were either watching TV or hanging out, Björn decided to check up on Agnetha who had gone to the bathroom to take a warm bath. By the time he got to the bathroom, he saw Agnetha stark naked in the bubble bath. She immediately became shy and tried to cover herself.

"Anna, are you shy? I've seen you many times," Björn said.

"Björn, not now. I'm taking a bath," Agnetha sighed irritably.

"How about if I join you in the bath?"

"Please don't!"

"Agnetha, it's moments like these where we get to spend time together. Please Anna."

"Ok, ok!" Agnetha exclaimed reluctantly.

Björn grabbed himself a towel and stripped his clothes off before joining Agnetha in the bathtub. He immediately held her close and she leaned into him almost instantly and closed her eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and he could almost immediately feel how thin and frail she had become. As much as it was concerning for him, he decided to shrug it off for now. He was already planning to have an intervention with Agnetha about everything that had been going on.

"Björn," Agnetha breathed as opened her eyes and turned to him.

"Yes dear?"

"Make love to me."

Without hesitation, Björn and Agnetha immediately began to make love. He kissed her neck all the way down to her breasts. He massaged her breasts before kissing and sucking on her nipples. Her moans increased as his thrusts became harder and harder. As they reached their climax, Agnetha couldn't help but feel sentimental.

"I love you, Björn," she said emotionally.

"I love you too, Agnetha. More than life itself," Björn replied as he held her once more.

Agnetha cried softly as Björn held her to him. They continued sitting around like that for a while. As they sat down in the bubble bath completely naked in the position that they were in, Björn knew that he had to make an intervention. He and the others were worried about Agnetha's physical and mental state and something had to be done sooner than later.
