Like I'm gonna lose you
~Meghan Trainor & John Legend

I found myself dreaming,
In silver and gold.
Like a scene from a movie,
That every broken heart knows.

We were walking on moonlight,
And you pulled me close.
Split second and you disappeared,
And then I was all alone !

I woke up in tears with you by my side.
A breath of relief and I realized,
No, we're not promised tomorrow !

So I'm gonna love you
like I'm gonna lose you.
And I'm gonna hold you
like I'm saying goodbye.
Wherever we're standing,
I won't take you for granted.
'Cause we'll never know when,
when we'll run out of time...

In the blink of an eye,
Just a whisper of smoke,
You could lose everything.
The truth is you never know...

So I'll kiss you longer baby,
Any chance that I get.
I'll make the most of the minutes,
And love with no regrets.

Let's take our time
to say what we want.
Here's what we got before it's all gone,
'Coz no, we're not promised tomorrow.

I'm gonna love you
like I'm gonna lose you !

CHAPTER 35 : SAFE AND SOUND

ISABELLA'S POV

My senses were slowly knocking in and I could feel the presence of someone , that someone for whom my heart races everytime I merely think of him , holding my hand .

" Izzy ?? " , I heard his soft voice

I gently opened my eyes and found myself in a decent white place and no , it wasn't heaven instead a fudging hospital room !

Wasn't that maniac going to kill me ???

"Roy.. Royce?"

"He's all okay ,  don't worry" , Ro said and squeezed my hand .

"How a..am I he..here ?" , I inquired while holding my head which resembled a nuclear bomb , ready to explode anytime now .

"Izzy , you are safe now . Leonard is arrested so you don't have to stress about anything "

"I was languishing while he chained me and then what happened??" ,
I managed to speak coherently for the very first in the last .... few minutes , few hours or few days , I really don't have a clue !

" After I reached the park , I found Royce bawling alone and you were missing . For that moment, I couldn't even think straight. But your son is very clever , without being able to speak much , he managed to convey that you were in trouble "

"And then ??" , I asked while trying to remember earlier events but I  couldn't , just couldn't . The last thing I recall is that I was kidnapped and then nada .
