I went over to Aneels's bedroom and saw him laying there with his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling. I went over to him and let myself fall next to him. His arm went immediately around my waist and I intwined our fingers, not being able to stop myself. The silence was comfortable. It was relaxing.

"What do I do now Aneel? I really don't know" I said quietly. I really hoped he would know something because I was really clueless. He grabbed my chin and made me look up at him. I stared in his bright green eyes.

"Look, she really looked like a nice person. She looked genuine. I mean, how she held you, how she cried. Did it feel all real?" he asked me and I nodded.

"Then just take your time. It's not something easy, I understand. You can't get used to it in a day. It needs time" he said and I nodded looking away. He was right. I couldn't do anything other then giving it time.

"Look at me" he said while turning my head towards him again. I looked up at him for the second time.

"I am here okay. Look let's get something straight. I- I know I can never be the man who will.. love you. But I don't want this to end. You were there for me even though I pushed you away. I just.. I don't know, you helped me. So I want to help you. Maybe one day you will find someone else, ut till then, please just stay with me. I will be there for you. Always" he said and my eyes widened. Did Aneel really say that? He chuckled and shook his head.

"Yeah, I really did" he said smirking. I just punched his chest lightly before placing my head on it. I wrapped my arms around him and just listened to his heartbeat. That calmed me down and it just let the pain fade a bit away. I mean it was just too much for me now. I am not strong. I can't do this all alone..

"Aneel.." I said softly. He just mumbled in response.

"Okay, I'll stay" I said before drifting off.

"You are worthless" he said kicking me in my stomach. It did hurt and I had the feeling that I needed to throw up blood. I closed my eyes. I couldn't watch this.

"We left you" another voice came. His voice.. No.. They didn't..

"We sold you" there was another voice. No, no it couldn't be true. Yassir and Yessin, they would never do that.

"Of course they would. We would" there.. She.. She would? No, she wouldn't. She is my mother. She is not supposed to.

"Stop it!" I heard his voice. His angelic voice. I smiled a bit. He, he is the one who never wanted me, but always saved me. He was there for me, always. I opened my eyes and saw Aneel. But what I saw the next made my eyes widen. They couldn't.. I wanted to yell, scream to them to stop. I wanted to scream that they could take me but not touch him. I wanted to protect him, like he always protected me. I tried to open my mouth but I just couldn't. It was like someone had his hand on my mouth so that I was not able to say anything. And that was when I saw Yassir pulling the trigger, aimed on Aneel..

"No?" I screamed, sitting up. I looked around and found myself in Aneel's bed. My eyes were teary and I couldn't breathe properly. That was when I felt arms around me and someone pushing my face in his chest. Aneel.. he is here, he is okay..

"Sssh, its okay" he said and I started crying out loud. He just held me and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"They were going to kill you Aneel. In front of my eyes" I whispered, so that he couldn't hear. But he did anyways.

"I am here, I am okay. Nothing happened and nothing is gonna happen. Just breathe" he said and I did as he said.

After a while Aneel layed down and placed my head on his chest. When I thought about the memory and nightmare, I started sobbing quietly again. Aneel sighed and placed my head right on his heart. I didn't know why he did it, but it helped. Listening to his heartbeat just calmed me down. Just being here with him, in his arms helped for some weird reason.

I heard a phone ringing and opened my eyes. I sat up and saw that we fell asleep. Just when I was about to grab his phone Aneel woke up and answered the call. He went quiet for a moment before he frowned and sat up straight.

"What?" he said looking up at me.
