Can't take it back once it's been set in motion
You know I need you for the oxytocin
If you find it hard to swallow
I can loosen up your collar
Cause as long as you're still breathing
Don't you even think of leaving
--Oxytocin by Billie Eilish
(Edward's P.O.V)
My arms gently wrapped around her warm, delicate body before she fell to the ground. I cradled her head against my chest; the warmth of her body enveloped me.
"Lorelei! Lorelei! Look at me!" Panic surged through me.
Zeke was hovering beside me, almost as panicked as I was. His friends had disappeared into the crowd, quick to get out of there in case authorities were called. I had to stifle a growl as I remembered the vile, repulsive thoughts Trevor possessed towards Lorelei. He wanted her and he wasn't the type to take no for an answer.
I wasn't able to handle the thought of leaving Lorelei unprotected, especially with a potential rogue newborn on the loose, so I chose to keep my distance and watch her from a far. Thank goodness I had.
When I saw that she wasn't feeling well, I thought about showing myself and offering to take her home but thought better of it. I didn't want her to think I was stalking her, even though I was. Then, the second Trevor made his intentions towards Lorelei clear, I could no longer hide in the shadows.
Lorelei's eyelids slowly started to flutter. I held my breath anxiously as she barely opened her eyes.
"E-Edward?" She stuttered out breathlessly.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, Lorelei. I'm here," I spoke in a soothing voice.
Her heart rate quickened immediately when she woke up enough to realize the predicament she was in. Now that I knew she was in no immediate danger, I too was starting to feel the effects of having her body pressed against mine.
I gently maneuvered her so that our bodies were no longer touching, though I still had my arms wrapped around her. She lifted her head and squeezed her eyes shut.
"Lorelei! Oh my gosh!" Zeke started rambling on anxiously.
I looked over at him. "Go get her some water, please."
He narrowed his eyes at me but obliged.
Of course he gets to be the hero. I just get to be the water boy, he thought bitterly as he ran off in search of water.
