I stand in a corner, shoulders hunched up, shoulders shaking with silent tears. I silently watch the video until it comes to an end, and at the end is four little words. 
      I shiver. it felt like someone drew a cold finger up and down my back. I shiver again. not able to stop the nervous wringing of my hands. i felt someone put a hand on back. I look up. Jacob stares back down at me with his chocolate eyes.

"its ok" he whispers
      
I feel tears coming

"its really not" 

now I really couldn't control the tears that flowed freely down my cheeks, or the sobs that I tried so hard to contain.

"its ok to be scared" 

"really?"

"really" Jacob tells me in a firm voice

I bury my head into his chest. My crying never subsiding. We stand there what seems like eternity. But I can only thing of the four words still flashing bright in that video. I'm coming for you.All Rights Reserved
