SOMEONE I LOVED (68)

I couldn't breathe.

It felt like my entire world stopped. It was funny how countless times I had begged the world to stop for me, now it had finally stopped and it felt like I was frozen, I felt my limbs ache and my heart clenched and for a minute I forgot that it was the organ I used to breathe because it felt like my lungs had walked out on me.

I could vaguely hear Tyler yelling but I couldn't move, the entire scene was painfully familiar to me. The scent of iron, the trail of blood, my inability to move or react, the isolated environment, the chills down my skin, and how the hairs on my skin rose and I knew it wasn't out of fear,

Dread trailed down the edges of my spine and I felt my legs buckle beneath me, I fell right into thick red blood. My eyes traced where Charlotte had been but she wasn't there anymore and I could still hear the drowned-out voices of Cole and some other people I did recognize. I didn't know how long I had been here, but I also didn't care.

I wanted to move. T
