Ghost In Love

TWENTY NINE

I open my eyes which is fills by tears again.

"I-I... I-I k-killed S-Sarah.." I found myself whispering before my mind could register anything.

"I..." I sobbed, my lips pulls downwards into a big frown.

"Why do you think you killed Sarah?" He asked, cupping my cheeks.
We keep our eyes on each other.

"If it anything, it was me who should to be blame." He added with his head hung low.

No, no!

"S-she a-asks for m-my h-help.." I breathed out.
"B-but, I-I... r-ra ran!"

"Anyone would do that too, Joanne. It's not your fault. It's mine."

"No, Baekhyun!" I shouted as I sat up abruptly.

"D-don't you u-understand, B-baekhyun?! I killed S-Sarah H-hig-Higgins!" I yelled.

I could feel myself panicking again.
My breaths become shorter.
I tried to inhale more oxygen but I feel lacking of it.

I feel suffocated, as if someone strangled my neck.
Sarah's pleads from that night rang in my ears.

"Joanne!" Baekhyun hold both of my shoulders, his face clearly shows that he is worried for me.

"Follow my instruction!" He exclaimed.

"Breathe." He shakes my shoulder when I felt as if I could pass out in any second.

"Breathe!" He instructed once again, in a panicked tone.

I breathe as he told me.
It is hard but Baekhyun never give up.
His grip on me is the only thing that keep me conscious other than his dark brown orb that looking at me with so much emotions.

My teeth chattering when I finally calms down.
The tips of my fingers become cold while my whole hand become numb.

Baekhyun notice it immediately.
He massages my hands without any words.

My frown deepened.

I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I hide my face on the crook of his neck.

"H-help me, Baekhyun. I don't know w-what to do." I whispered softly, tears rolls down to my cheeks.

"Everything going to be okay." He assured me, caressing my hair, the way that I love it because it is calming.

I shifted my gaze only to see the bracelet glows in the dimly lit room on my wrist.
It is thinner than the first time I wore it.

It means I have met the killer somewhere.
At this moment, I just hope that I didn't meet the killer face to face.

Because if I met the killer again, there is high possibility that this bracelet would breaks and Baekhyun would be leaving me forever.

I didn't want him to leave me.
Not yet.
Not ever.

"P-please don't l-leave me, B-baekhyun." Tears welled in my eyes.

I never hugged Baekhyun so tight before.
I am so scared that he would vanish between my arms.

I am scared that my eyes couldn't find him anymore.
Scared that my ears wouldn't hear his voices,
Scared that my skin wouldn't find his.

I don't want to lose him.

"I won't." I can feel Baekhyun flashing a small smile for me.

"No matter how much you wants to throw me away, I'll never leave you, Joanne."
