Liyah's POV
"Stay away from me!!"
The sound of my own voice surprised me but I couldn't help it. Elyan regarded me with confusion written all over his face.
"Why are you-"
"Just... don't touch me! Okay? I know the way to the rooms. Just tell me where you want me to clean up."
The rapid beating of my heart had already started to weaken me. I drew my shirt tighter to me. We were alone in the room. It was dangerous... anything could happen. I felt my chest start to ache as the memories I had been trying to get rid of began to flash through my head.
Instead of the anger I had expected, Elyan backed away from me, muttering an apology and moving to the door. But I wanted him out. Away from me completely. If I was alone no one could hurt me. No one...
Desperate to be able to breathe proper
