Faint
Chapter XXI
Listen to song while reading - Link
Courtney's POV:
I heard them before I saw them.
Their pounding footsteps on the heavy concrete as they practically ripped through the streets of Palm Springs, and darted through the police station, rushing to the front desk. Irene smiled widely when she saw them, having matched my description to their handsome faces. Their voices were muffled as I, as if in slow-motion, slowly turned my head just as irene pointed to my lone form tucked into a corner. And then it was just all of us.
They all grinned wildly and I stood, my aching muscles complaining but I saved that for later. I've waited long enough.
I grinned as Andy was the first to move, and I barely had enough time to utter his name before i was in his arms, his familiar body fitting comfortably against my fragile one. Sobs racked my body as the true intensity of the situation settled upon my weary shoulders; I was home. i was safe, and I had survived the worst. I made it.
After what seemed like days of holding them in, I let my tears flow freely, as I buried my head into Andy's leather-clad chest, breathing him in. His hands were everywhere, frantically running down my tattered clothing, tangling in my messy hair and skimming over the bruised flesh that had suffered the most. But his eyes, his baby blue eyes that I had come to so strongly adore, they never once left mine, even when he finally pressed his lips to mine, and I was home all over again.
He pulled away after some time, and I raggedly caught my breath, gazing upward to find his eyes were indeed watering as well. I leaned up and tangled my fingers in his dark hair, smiling softly at him as tears licked my cheeks. He grinned as well, his smile igniting his whole face as he hugged me even closer to his body, letting no space come between us.
I laughed as he squeezed me harder, before regretfully letting me go just as another body knocked into mine. Ashley held me tightly in his strong arms, murmuring comforting words to me as we both cried in each other's arms. He let me go briefly to inspect me quickly, his brown eyes catching glimpses of the worst of my wounds. He frowned and kissed my forehead, pulling me back to his chest and resting his chin on top of my head. Then I was surrounded by Jinxx, jake and CC, all who took turns hugging me tightly and kissing my head.
I turned back to Andy after I made sure to hug each guy individually, and I collapsed in his arms, new tears running down my cheeks again. Andy ran his fingers through my hair and kissed the top of my head, holding me tightly against him.
I was home. I was safe.
For now at least.
