I just wanted to hurt my bullies before going down.
“Milla, stop” Corey said in a low voice. His hands closed over mine, stopping my assault on his perfectly chiseled chest. “You’re going to hurt yourself if you don’t calm down.”
“Is that a threat?” I asked with a wild laugh. “Finally! Show me what a big man you are! Hit me! Come on!”
Corey suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me against him. I expected him to hurt me but he just held me.
“No one’s going to hurt you,” he said in a gentle voice. “You’re safe with us.”
“I don’t believe you.” My teeth sank into his shoulders hard.
I waited for him to push me away but he didn’t. He quietly let me bite him.
My breaths came out in harsh pants. My heart pounded painfully, seeming to want to break out of my chest.
“Why’s she making those sounds?” Caleb asked in a worried tone.
“Milla?” Corey whispered gently and held me away from him and stared at me. “Shit! She’s hyperventilating! Quick, Caleb. Find her a bag or something.”
I heard the sound of drawers being pulled and a variety of items crashing onto the floor. My chest heaved but I wasn’t able to draw a breath at all.
“Caleb, hurry!” Corey muttered.
“I’m searching,” Caleb shouted. “Here, try this.” Moving over to me, he held a small plastic bag over my mouth.
“Breathe, Milla,” said Corey. “Breathe.”
The sound of heaving breaths filled the room. It took a while but as I realized no one was coming to hurt me, my mind gradually settled down.
My breathing became regular and suddenly, I felt so exhausted I could barely stand on my two feet.
Strong arms held me as I swayed on the spot.
“We should make her lie down,” said Caleb.
“Good idea.”
Corey bent before me and with one swift movement, he swept me up in his arms. They headed inside my bedroom and laid me on the bed.
Caleb pulled a blanket over me and quickly tucked me in.
“There, you go,” said Corey. “A Milla burrito sandwich!”
“I’m so tired,” I said in an exhausted voice as my eyes drooped closed.
“I know, baby,” said Caleb, gently caressing my cheeks. “You can go to sleep now. We’ll watch over you.”
“I don’t trust you,” I said, still wanting to retaliate. If I had the energy, I’d have probably continued to hurt them.
“You don’t have to trust us,” said Corey. “Just sleep.”
I closed my eyes.
Even if they did something to me, I didn’t care anymore. I was exhausted, both mentally and physically. It was time this day was over.
