Darius

“Nibbles,” I held her forearm and whispered her name. She was thrashing around, sweating badly and tears were rolling down her eyes but still, her eyes were tight shut. That was when I realized Reina was right. Something was wrong with Angela.

I called out her name again to wake her up but she wasn’t regaining consciousness yet. I didn’t have any other choice than to climb the bed and hug her tightly against my chest in an uncomfortable manner. She tried moving away, she struggled to get away but her struggle soon receded and her screams turned to whimpering. She grabbed hold of my shirt at my back and soon burst into tears again.

I knew she was awake but I didn’t want to say anything yet. I wanted her to take all the time in the world to calm down. As long as she kept wanting me to hold her like this, keep wanting to be in my arms, I’m cool with it. The discomfort I was experiencing didn’t matter, as long as I got to the shoulder she cried on.

“It’s okay, baby. You’re fine now,” I assured her. She heaved loudly before another heartbreaking sob ripped out of her chest. She was struggling with something and I hope she trusted me enough to open up to me.

“I’ve got you,” I meant it. Every single word that came out of my mouth that night, I could swear by it. “I’ve got you, baby.” I repeated.

For what seemed to be like ten minutes, Angela didn’t let me go. She leaned on me. That tugged at my heart but watching her break down like this breaks my heart more. I want her to be happy for eternity and not sad for just one day.

When she finally released my shirt, she moved back from me, letting her body fall off mine voluntarily. I wanted to hold her hand but she moved them away and ran her finger through her thick, curly hair. Before I could get a glimpse of her face, her hair hid her from me.

I looked around the room for water and soon found a glass of water and a jug on a table close to the bed. I left her on the bed. I poured some water into the glass while my eyes were fixated on the drug that was beside the glass. I gave her the water. She collected it and muttered what I assumed to be a thanks.

“Do you need anything else?” I asked her. She shot me a look before shaking her head. Once she was done with the she dropped the glass on the small stool beside the bed and adjusted herself.

“You want to go back to sleep,” 1 rhetorically asked even though I knew that was what she was about to do. She nodde

“Do you want to talk about it?” I was expecting a wordless response from her again but that didn’t end up happening.

“There’s nothing to talk about,”

I refused to believe her. “There’s definitely something to talk about. It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it now but believe me, if you need anything, just call me,”

She scoffed. I knew she didn’t believe I could go to the end of the world for her. I would do anything to make her happy and feel alive again. My heart yearned for the little girl who offered the her smile years ago. The same one that made my heart come alive after several years of living with my demons. If my life is what would make her go back to the girl she used to be. I would gladly lay it on the bare ground.

“You want me to believe that,”

I nodded. “Don’t just believe it, let it be a part of you,” I whispered. I placed her palm on mine, turned it towards me, and kissed it. That was my promise to her.

“You made that same promise five years ago, Darius, and you still ended up walking away. What’s so different now?”
