Embrace

"Elias!" She didn't know when the tears started flowing, but her cheeks were moist with tears. 

He held her tightly, not letting go. People rushed past them into the apartment. They were stunned to find Lizzie screaming and crying as the acid continued to eat away at her face. 

Elias didn't say a word. He continued hugging Maddison tightly, not letting go. He gently rubbed her back as she dry heaved between tears. 

"Let's go home," He whispered to her. 

Maddison gasped as she was lifted off the ground. Elias was princess carrying her in his arms! 

"Elias! What are you-"

"I'm bringing you home," He insisted as he walked down the corridor. 

The commotion had attracted the attention of the tenants in the other apartments. Some looked through the peephole, others opened the door to take a closer look. When they saw Elias King walking down the hallway with his girlfriend in his arms, most could not help but stop and stare.
