Comfort

Iris's POV

"Bang!!!!"

"Xander!!!!!" I screamed. My heart thumping with fear let out of my chest. My eyes closed due to the loud sound.

For a sec I didn't want to open my eyes, fearing what I might see. But the other second my heart wants to break the ropes to run to Xander and engulf him in my embrace to protect him from any harm.

Slowly I opened my eyes. And when I saw the scene in front of me, tears uncontrollably started trickling my cheeks.

I want nothing more than to run into his arms and hide there forever.

My heart will explode from the happiness that I am feeling.

He is fine. He is not hurt. And the fulfillment that filled my heart seeing him ok was inexpressible. I closed my eyes as a tear of happiness made its way past my cheeks, to my neck.

My tears were both of joy and sorrow.

The joy that he was okay, sorrow, because I am the reason he is going through all this. It's all because of me.

He knew it can be a trap but still he came. For me. He promises he would find me
