Make it stop

Esme had never felt anything this before. This pain, it was as if her insides were being pulled at, and her heart squeezed painfully. It was excruciating. She couldn't even hear her own voice despite how loud she was shouting.

She felt like stripping of her clothes, doing anything that could take the pain away, and then suddenly, she felt a pair of arms curl around her frame. She couldn't discern what was happening or but she felt the spark that traveled through her body. It was Grant.

Even though she didn't want to get any closer than she already was, being in his arms did make everything feel better.

She could breathe unlike before when breathing was also a difficult task to do just a few seconds ago.

Wanting relief, she clung to him, her soft and delicate body clinging to his harder one. It felt just perfect. She sniffed him, and strangely enough, that helped too.

She rubbed her face on his own while her hands curled around his neck as he lifted her off the ground.
