[Leo, my baby]
-----------
"Daddy" a voice calls, sobbing at a distance. The man turns to meet the crying but end with no clue.
"Daddy, hewp me" his hands begin to shake hearing his son cry for him.
"Arne? Buddy? Where are you?" the man shouts, his voice echoes the empty place. He runs in circles searching his only son.
"Daddy, pwease. I-it hurts" a whimper surrounds.
"I-I'm coming, daddy's coming, baby" he strides through the halls, running into the same place again and again. It's tiring that he can't help his son. It hurts that his son is hurting. He wants his son with him. He needs him.
He stops before a door and pushes it open. It unlocks into clouds surrounding a cliff with trees and dangerous slopes.
He freezes in his place when he finds his son weeping at the edge of the cliff. "D-addy"
"B-baby, daddy is here. D-don't move" he assures and starts walking to him.
"Save me, daddy" he whimpers stepping dangerously back towards the slope.
"Yes, baby. Daddy's gonna save you. Don't move, please" he cautiously steps forward and then.....
"Arneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............"

ARNE'S POV
My eyes shot open, my breath laboured while my whole body is drenched in sweat. My eyes well up in tears, threatening to fall. I lay stretched in my bed with heavy breathing as tears escaping from the corner of my eyes. I strain my eyes out covering them with my hand.
That dream again. It keeps haunting me. It playback everything that happened at Feivel's place that day. It's not a dream anymore, it's a nightmare.
He is a nightmare.
I relive the horror of betrayal and misery every night. It's been a week already and even though I'm this far from him, it still hurts. And I can't help but cry.
The wound is still fresh.
I peek at the digital clock placed at the side of my bed. It shows 7.35 am, 14th Feb. I rub the tears out of my eyes and stretch out my sore muscles.
Woof.
"Hey, baby. You're up?" I smile tiredly at Leo. He hurries in the room and jumps on the bed. "Oof, slow buddy" I fake laugh. He seems to sense my discomfort and whines in response.
My eyes well up in tears again, looking at the voiceless creature wagging his tail and licking my cheek in an attempt to comfort me. I scratch his ear lovingly as I kiss his nose.
"I'm fine, Leo" I smile, assuringly this time, honestly feeling good. He woofs in response and tackles me into bed again. I start squirming while laughing for the first time since last week.
"Okay, okay. Stop" I command being out of breath. I smile and pat his head while getting down the bed, Leo hot on my heels.
I stride downstairs to find everyone already been awake and doing the preparations.
"I see, Leo has already done his job" my mom calls as I get down the stairs.
"Good morning to you too, mom," I chuckle walking to her. She puts her coffee mug down and turns to me.
I grasp her into a tight hug. "I love you, ma," I say while kissing her cheek.
She looks at me worriedly with tears in her eyes while I try my best to smile. I can't cry, even if I want to. I want to collapse in her arms just like old times.
