Chapter 20: Are you ready?

(Cry POV)

“Princess, no! Don’t!” I screamed as she kept following the balloon that bounced out of her hand.

Before I can even catch up to her, she was already crossing the road. I tried to save her but it was too late. A car was coming and she didn’t try to move. She just froze.

NO!

“Cry!” A voice woke me up. I jolted awake to see Leon beside me with a worried look.

“You’re having a bad dream.” He said.

I then pulled him for a hug and sobbed against his shoulder. He embraced me back and calmed me down.

“Shhh! It’s alright. I’m here!” He cooed.

“She’s dead! I couldn’t save her! I suck! I am such a bad brother!” I cried with tears dripping down my cheeks.

“No, don’t say that. It’s not your fault.”

We pulled away and we looked into each other’s eyes. Leon is still here. He didn’t leave and I can tell from his eyes, he never will.

“I’m here, Cry!”
