Stockholm Syndrome: feelings of trust or affection felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim towards a captor.
Being kidnapped is one thing, but catching feelings for your kidnapper is another thing.
Find out what happens when...
The tears started to stream down my face, I just couldn't hold them back anymore.
"Destiny, what happened? Where did you go?" Jonah asked worried but confused.
"It's complicated." I said softly while looking down.
"We need to go to Daniel's house, he has been a mess without you. Please come with us."
I looked up at them and slowly nodded. We all drove to Daniel's house. I was quite nervous, what if he doesn't want to see me, and what did the boys mean with that he was a mess?
I fell for him, but what if he doesn't feel the same way? Ok I need to stop worrying. We will see how it goes. I took a deep breath and walked inside after we arrived and the boys followed me.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"He is in his room, but he is probably sleeping. He hasn't slept for days. He barely ate anything and he barely left his room. He was so devastated without you, Destiny. You make him so happy. This man is head over heels for you." Corbyn said the last part with a chuckle.
Wait, Daniel didn't sleep and eat because of me?! Tears started to well up in my eyes again. This man is really something different. And is he really head over heels for me, as Corbyn indicated?
Well, one thing is certain, I fell for Daniel Seavey and I fell hard. I fell so badly for him.
Just everything about him. His smile, his beautiful eyes, his soft calming voice, his sweet personality, his perfect body, just him. He is perfect. I has his flaws, but I even fell in love with them. I fell in love with everything about him.
I walked towards his bedroom. It was weird to be back here. The place where I was held, because I was kidnapped by Daniel. But over time we got closer and eventually I fell for him.
It is just all a weird situation. I opened his bedroom door slowly and walked inside. There he was, laying peacefully asleep in his bed. He looked so cute.
I walked closer to him and saw how puffy his eyes were, the tears stains still visible. I looked down and saw that his hand was bandaged. What happened?
I sat down beside him, but he didn't wake up and kept on sleeping. I don't really want to wake him up because he looks so comfortable and cute.
A small smile formed on his face and snuggled deeper into the sheets, when I started to run my hand through his soft fluffy hair.
Until his eyes started to move and open slowly. In the beginning he looked kinda confused, not really realizing what was going on. But as soon as he realized what was happening, he jumped into my arms.
"Destiny! Oh my god! Thank god! You're ok! You're here!" He hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe.
"Daniel I- ..... I can't breathe."
He quickly stopped hugging me and looked concerned at me. I returned him a soft smile, indicating that I am ok. His eyes started to fill with tears and I pulled him into another hug, rubbing his back softly.
"I missed you so much."
"I missed you to Dani." I said softly into his ear.
"No Destiny, you don't understand. I can't live without you. You make me smile, you make me feel human. Every time I look at you, an instant smile appears on my face. You're my cure, my cure for my issues. I need you. When you were gone, I was so lost. I couldn't eat, sleep to think straight. It was like I couldn't breathe. I was in this really dark place for some time and when you came into my life, that faded away. You got me out of the dark, you were the light in the dark. But when you were gone I was lost again." He said with tears in his eyes.
It brought tears in my eyes too.
"I am lost without you to Dani. We met in this weird situation, but that's all forgiven because I met you. You're literally the sweetest person, you're passionate, caring, loving, and so much more. You were always there for me, always helped me calm down. I think we both need each other for our issues. We are each other's cures."
We were both balling our eyes out now. Daniel looked up with his beautiful blue piercing eyes looking straight into mine.
"Uhm Dani, I have to tell you something else."
Ok I am going to tell him that I fell in love with him. I felt the nerves rush through my veins and I started to fiddle with my sleeves while nervously looking down, a habit I always had.
Daniel noticed and grabbed both of my hands softly, rubbing his thumb on my hand, which caused the chills running down my spine.
This man has such an effect on my body. I looked up and he had a small smile on his face, looking straight into my eyes, indicating me to continue.
"I don't really know how to tell you this, and you don't have to feel the same way. I would understand... but umm... I am in love with you Daniel. I fell head over heels for you. And I understand if you don't feel the same and.." but I was interrupted.
"I am in love with you too, Destiny. You don't understand how hard I fell for you." He said with a big smile on his face and leaned closer towards me.
Wait. he feels the same way?!
Daniel started to lean in more causing there to be no space left between us and I felt his soft lips on mine.
Our lips started to move in sync. It was like they were made for each other like they were meant to be together. It was like the room was spinning around us and it just felt amazing.
It was a very passionate kiss. He pulled back, and we both needed to catch our breathes. He engulfed me in a tight hug again.
I love him.
We will see how this continues. But I would have never thought that I could say: I fell in love with my kidnapper.
