Luci pov-
I was so scared I was trembling! Although I was so careful to learn and follow that note Declan had given me being in the situation I don’t believe I would’ve been capable of preparing for how it took it’s turns…
He was very agitated all afternoon and his patience was essentially nonexistent, i held as many calls and meetings as the situation allowed but unfortunately I couldn’t stretch anymore to allow him extra breathing room… by 6:30 in the evening he was so unraveled and figity that I knew i needed to pay closer attention to his behavior in case i really had to act quickly.. i was in his office and i was sure that i was i acting with patience and that I remained calm but I was very rattled and had the impression he sensed that underneath my calm exterior… i was doing my best to keep the conversation from being overwhelming or stressful on him but I felt extremely tense and unsure of how that situation would end and what could happen. I had the shot in my bag and I was prepared if needed… it wasn’t until the phone rang suddenly and echoed so loudly above the growing tension that I saw his eyes change and how he gripped the corners of the desk after his sudden shock and the noise… i remained still and the office door was shut but something assured me that I should not move or make any sudden noises at least not yet… slow and shallow breath’s was all i did before trying to repeat the phrases he instructed me to use… I said only 1 of them before he practically flew next to my chair and grabbed me by my shoulders almost mocking me as he arrogantly spoke back to me, contradicting everything I had just reassured… this was not the Declan that i had known… and his unpredictability was somewhat alarming to discover. I was determined to help him anyway and I was confident that I could defuse the situation especially if i kept him talking… the shot was already in my blazer’s sleeve and i only had to wiggle it down and flick the cap off… i decided I needed to repeat the second phrase.. calmly as i could.. while he was still holding lnto me and staing me in the face… he was searching my expression for anything but I just didn’t know what he was looking for.. clearly I was scared. I was just remaining calm and rational but he still kept scanning my face… I repeated the second phrase and that’s when I was against the wall.. pinned underneath his towering frame… he licked his lops before looking me in the face again and asking me why I wasn’t questioning him or his actions… I simply told him it was because I had enough trust in myself and in the observation of any given situation… he mocked me chuckling and that’s when I jabbed the shot into his leg and wiggled myself out of his arms and to the farthest end of the room as he originally instructed… I was still trembling and part of me wanted to breakdown i was so scared and nervous but I didn’t, I know I needed to ensure he was okay and excuse myself at the first available moment before I could finally come back down and process what was happening… his breathing shallowed and he was sitting up against the shelves in the corner, his eyes were slowly changing back to their normal color and I still stsyed very still and quiet in the farthest corner of his office… it seemed like an eternity before he stood himself up and drank the water i had brought him earlier, after he guzzled down half of the bottle he spoke and all he had was “thank you Luci and I’m so sorry.”
The look in eyes was so sorrow filled and it broke my heart to see it… I wasn’t entirely sure what would happen if I scted on my thought but I also didn’t care… I walked over to him, slowly and I gave him a soft and reassuring hug… to my surprise he didn’t even flinch he just took his sttong arms and wrapped them around me, hiz left hand went to my hair and he just sighed and apologized again before thanking me again for doing everything I did and for the hug as well… he assured me that he was fine now and instructed me to head home, take tomorrow off and that he would be taking a personal as well. I knodded and told him goodnight before exiting his office and then grabbing my stuff and immediately leaving the building… it wasn’t until I got the car thst I finally broke down… I just pulled my knees up and pressed myself as tightly as I could in the front seat and cried…
