Chapter 120: Pain
Pain
A straightforward word but with a meaning so profound and cluttered and yet it couldn’t explain my present situation, not even that simple word could explain how I feel. I feel like I was at the rim of a cliff and the little thing holding me was nothing but a tiny rope and then it snapped. It snapped
Something fractured within me, the exact moment he took off his mask, and reality sunk. An unlit reality I wasn’t quite sure I could accept but yet here it lies before me, like the easiest thing ever and yet the most haunting thing ever.

His sad eyes were on me like he could see me, the sadness drowning into mine and he looked younger and not the mature William I know but it doesn’t make any difference.

I awoke with a gasp, searching for air and it felt like my lungs needed it badly. I was too focused on trying to breathe as I held my throat, not making note of the voice telling me to calm down.
"Breathe, sweetness, breathe"
I did just that, measuring my breathing and not taking it too far, and then the air was back, my vibrating body settled, and then I noticed his arms around me, his tight hold like I was a possession, his smooth voice speaking to my ears.
