Waking Up

Demyan 

 

Ethan swayed slightly at the top of the jet's stairs that if it were not for Benjamin holding him I was sure he would have come crashing down. Jacqui was constantly fixing his scarf to protect him from the cold wind as they slowly made their way down the stairs. 

It felt like my heart was about to rip out of my chest as I waited for him at the bottom of the stairs. He looked pale, his normally tanned skin looked ashen, his lips slightly blue and he had dark circles under his eyes. I almost wanted to cry but I knew that would distress him more and if I panicked he would soon follow. 

"Oh my Ethan," my eyebrows furrowed as a deep frown decorated my face. He practically fell in my arms as I was quick to wrap my arms around him and hold him close to my chest. 

"Home please," he croaked as I looked at Benjamin and Jacqui.
