Back at the dorm...

Gulf closed the door behind him after climbing through the stairs as fast as he could.
Panting, he sat on his bed. Hands shivering, lips trembling. The worst nightmare that's he's been trying to avoid almost all his life, is near and is reaching out to him and it's only a matter of time till it gets to him.

He keeps mumbling incoherent words on and on, while clasping his hands together and tapping his feet onto the ground nervously.

The fear, the memories, that has been stored and locked into the deepest and darkest corner of his heart, are banging out loud trying to escape and resurface bringing tenfold disaster to his mental and emotional stability and physically as well.

He has dealt with this once on his own without anyone beside him. Off and Gun were forced to be away from him when that happened, so he had no one besides him. Now, he needs someone by his side because, if he is exposed to all of these memories, feelings of fear, pain, he won't be able to handle it this time. It will be too much to handle, going though it all over again and even more.

Gulf's Pov:

  I hate this feeling. I hate feeling so damn weak. I have built myself to be someone new and stronger. I cannot crumble down now but, it's just too much for me. Living those emotions again.

No, no, no. I cannot. Damnit! I feel so weak. I hate it! I seriously need someone by my side. I cannot handle myself anymore. Gosh! God? Why me? What have I done to experience something this horrible? I must've sinned heavily in my past life to be living life this way.
Running away from my fears and problems. Do I have to keep running for life? Will I not have peace in my life ever? I just want to live a peaceful and safe life. Why can't that happen? Why?!

Tears threatening to fall from my eyes as I look at my reflection in the mirror.
Sadness, pity, rage all seen in my eyes at once. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock followed by loud bangs. Someone was going crazy, frantically beating the door willing to take it down by force if not opened.

I was scared for a moment, thinking it was someone whom I wanted to run away from, but was calmed down when I heard Techno's voice. I rushed towards the door and opened it for him.

Techno closed the door behind him and hugged me tight even before I could ask him why he was here.
Techno had never hugged me, ever. The one and only time he did so was when I told him about my dark past.

I pulled back from the hug only to be met with glistening pair of eyes, with tears threatening to fall.
"No.." I mumble under my breath and I see tears already flowing down to his cheeks and in no time I hear him wailing.

"Man! I'm scared. I'm scared Type. I'm scared if something happens to you. I wasn't with you then as I didn't know you and we were too small." No said in between his stifled sobs.

Wiping his tears, he added with a stern voice and a serious face.

"This time I will not leave you and I will be with you. Type, you're not alone. Let me be with you and prove that I am sure indeed your best buddy. I seriously care about you and I love you bro." 
He then hugged me even tighter, making me somewhat relieved that yes, I do have someone by my side. I feel so damn lucky to have someone like No in my life.
