Encounter

Chapter 15

Forth's pov:

After what felt like hours p'Mark's phone rang. I saw the caller ID. It was Beam.

"Hey... Ok wait there I'm coming." he hung up.

He then turned to me. "Beam is waiting outside. I'll go get him ok?"

I nodded shakily.

He got up and went out.

Not even a minute passed before i heard loud rushed footsteps coming towards the room.

"Forth!" Beam yelled the moment he saw me.

He rushed towards me and kneeled infront of me. I immediately jumped into his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck tightly causing him to fall back a little. He managed to balance himself with his arms before he fell onto his back.

He pulled me to sit on his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'm here. You're ok. Calm down. Breath." He rubbed small circles on my back.

I buried my face in his neck and inhaled deeply.

Slowly my body stopped shaking and my breathing started to calm down.

Beam kept rubbing my back and whispering soothing words to me.

When i finally calmed down completely, Beam slowly let go of me. He reached out his hands and wiped my tears.

I was still clutching the front of his shirt tightly. I was afraid that he might leave the moment i let go.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here beside you. Don't be scared. You're safe here." He assured me.

P'Mark approached us. "Here drink this." he gave a glass of water.

Beam took it from him and pushed it to my lips. I opened my mouth and took small gulps. Beam gave it back to p'Mark after i had drunk half of it.

My eyelids started getting heavy. I was starting to dose off.

"Seems like you're really tired. Come on lets get you to the bed." Beam held my arms and tried to help me stand up.

But the moment he mentioned the bed, my whole body stiffened.

"Forth? What's wrong?" Beam asked worriedly.

I shook my head vigorously.

Beam looked at p'Mark and they both looked at the bed.

"You don't want to go to the bed?" p'Mark asked.

I nodded.

"Why?" Beam cupped my cheeks and made me look at him.

He took out his phone and gave it to me.

I'm scared.

"Scared? There's nothing on the bed. There's nothing to be scared of. It's only going to be you and me. No one else will be there. Only us." He said firmly.

I was hesitant but nodded eventually.

It's ok Beam will be there.

You will stay with me tonight?

"Yeah I'm not leaving you alone like this. Now come on. You need to rest." He gently pulled me to stand up.

My legs were too weak and gave out but luckily Beam caight me before i fell.

He led me to the bed and helped me slip under the duvet. He slipped under it right after.

I moved closer to him and buried my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me protectively.
