Did Time Stop?

09. WAKE UP

Mattia's POV
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"STOP PLEASE!" I continue to yell and to cry out for help. I can't see anything but this person made sure I knew they were there.
"Please?" I plead.
"Now why would I stop? The fun just got started." The person I now know is a guy from his voice. He let out a low chuckle and my body tensed as it was right by my ear. I was no longer confused as to who it was. It was him , I thought he was gone? Banished? Dead? Why and how is he here?
"OWW PLEASE!" I scream out in pain and agony as he slides a blade down my side, he doesn't stop there though. He keeps going, and going. My arms are on fire with cuts going down them. Me laying there chained crying out for help and no one can hear me. My body starts trembling, he turns the light on and as I looked down at my body I let out a tremble. I had bruises up and down my stomach, cuts on my legs, I see a small puddle of blood.
"H-h-how are you here?" I stutter out get it together Mattia
"You thought daddy got rid of me?" He says laughing, I did actually.
"Hmm seems to me you did, your mind is racing." He whispers in my ear and slides the blade on my neck.
"Hmph." I grunt lowly trying not to give him the satisfaction. That pissed him off, he growled and I was soon being choked.
"STOP P-P-PLEASE!" I gasp out between breaths. I felt trapped, lost. My voice was hoarse and weak from yelling and crying. My body was violently shaking at this point no matter how many times I grabbed at his hands his grip grew stronger.
"PLEASE JUST LET ME GO! IM SORRY I TRULY AM!" I let out as many words as I can with his eyes looking directly at mine with so much venom so much hatred. Before everything goes black his eyes turn a ruby red. I was going to die, he was going to kill me..

"-ia MATTIA!" I hear but it's Kai.
"Tia wake up Musuko." He rubbed my back and began to softly shake me.
"You're okay bubba, it was just a nightmare."
"I'm here brown eyes, I'm here." He whispered in my ear and if I wasn't a wreck I would've smiled at the new nickname, I hope he keeps it. I adore the nicknames he gives me they make me feel special and we both know that only he can only call me them. Even if it was a short amount of time I've known this boy. He was placed in my life for a reason. My angel. Yeah, that's him MY angel. He was already making me feel safe, at home. At peace. Something happened when he hugged me, my sadness was lifted a little? I felt it leave my body. I inhaled his scent as he engulfed me in a hug continuously whispering sweet nothings in my ear.
"Take deep breaths brown eyes, you hear that? Match my heart beat." I try and listen but my body is shaking and I can't catch my breath. I was never scared to die, I never even feared pain. This time was different, the nightmare felt so real.
"I-I-I can't kai." I whimper to him.
"Count with me okay? Breath and count when I do." He says soothingly
"One." He starts.
"O-one." I breath out as he does.
"Come on Tia keep going. You can do it." He says placing my hand on his chest and pulls my head up to look at him.
"Look directly at me and count, breath. Focus on my breathing and my voice."
"Two." He breathes in and out.
"Two." I say slowly growing calmer. I keep feeling the strange pull, something pulling the pain and sadness out of my body as I become one with him. I lean in further to his touch letting the feeling happen.
"Almost done, three." He says nodding and maintaining the same eye contact.
"Three." I reply letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Four. Good job Tia, you did it." He praises me.
"Hmm." I say focusing on his steady heart beat and the sound of his breathing, his breath fanning my neck as he holds me.

They are sitting like that^ (with clothes ON)

"Brown eyes?" He questions.
"Yes angel? I reply looking back at his eyes. They flicker? Wait did they change colors? I gasped slightly but I didn't let him hear it.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks with this adorable face that I mentally awed at. You're probably wondering why I'm not freaked out or scared. I'm not, he might not even know what's going on. He seems like he doesn't even realize the pull he is having on me, or the change in his angelic features.
"Tia? You in there. He asks titling his head again and giggling. God that giggle, it was already becoming my favorite song. You know that one song you hear that just makes you forget anything wrong? You have no worries in the world just listening to it. That was mine. His giggle melted any worrisome, angry, sad, distraught bone in my body. It's like anytime he was around my focus was on him. When I looked at him he gave off this aura, this shine that just drew me into him. It made everything else blur out, he was like my anchor. No one calmed me down like him, no one cared for me the same way he does.
"Yeah I'm here angel, just thinking." I answer finally.
"Can we just lay here, please?" I ask him looking down anxiously.
"Hey, hey don't worry bubba. Of course we can, come here." He chuckles while pulling me to lay in-between him and have my head on his chest listening to the same heart beat as before. He played in my hair humming a song to me while I just inhaled his scent, letting it engulf me and becoming relaxed. His humming sounded beautiful, relaxing, soothing.
"Kai?"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you, really."
"No problem, if you ever want to talk about it or anything. You can come to me okay?"
"Promise?"
"Promise."
I didn't question it, I knew he meant it, I knew he was being genuine. What are you doing to me Cosentino?

This what I meant when kai was giving off light but it's dimmer.
