Chapter 45 - chapter 45

Come. I'll get some dinner ready.

I tell him with a smile and head to make some soup, now we're in the kitchen sitting at the table. And that's when I see it,

PHOENIX'S POV

I'M sitting across him at the table trying to grip the spoon but I can't, after that nightmare my hand has been trembling, I try to hide it but he notices,

Liam..? Are you ok?

I accidentally drop my spoon as the trembling gets bad, without a word he quickly stands up, gets the spoon off the floor and gets me a new one and goes back to his seat,

Here, I'll help you.

He said as he extends the spoon towards me with soup, I look at him a bit hesitant,

I don't know what you're going through right now but I'm not letting you go through it alone.

He said with a soft smile, I reluctantly take a bite. He smiles and continues to feed me while I get my tremors under control.

You're a good cook for someone who has a dozen private chefs,

I tell him with a chuckle,

I can cook...but my parents don't like it...they believe cooking is beneath us.

He replies back with a sigh and a soft smile.After we're done eating I grab my bowl and get up,

Thank you...I appreciate it...

I tell him with a soft smile, he smiles back at me but then all of a sudden I hear a sound that made my blood runs cold, a blast...one after another, I could feel my chest tighten and my hands started trembling, I dropped the bowl shattering it and before I could process what was happening, I started feeling dizzy and my breathing got shallow, before I knew it I was on the floor hyperventilating and having a full blown panic attack.

SEBASTIAN'S POV

My eyes widen in shock as I see his feet go weak and collapse having a full panic attack, I immediately rose from my seat and rushed by his side, noticing the broken shards of glass, I carefully pick him up and carry him to the couch,

Liam. Liam look at me!

I crouch down In front of him and gently grab his shoulders to make him look at me,

Liam, calm down! You're ok...you're safe it's ok!

I still the the panic attack going on and his face turns pale as he continues to hyperventilate. Panic starts setting inside me too, I desperately cupped his face,

Liam listen to me! You need to breathe. Look at me!

I see him trembling and crying and my heart breaks into a million pieces, I can't stand seeing him like this. I pull him in my arms and rub his back,

Please...you need to breathe...just relax... repeat after me... breathe in... breathe out...

I look in his eyes, noticing the panic starting to subside gradually, I keep holding onto him as he calmed down slowly, as I feel his breathing return to normal I speak up, a soft tone

That's it...keep it up...you're doing great...

I keep rubbing his back, and after a while I feel him slump into my arms, I wrap my arms tighly around him.

You ok...you're fine now...no one will hurt you...

He finally calms down a bit and pulls away from me, but I can still sense a bit of tension in him. I wipe away his tears and give his arm a comforting squeeze,

Wait for me princess, I'll see what's going on.

I stand up about to leave when he grabs my arm with a terrified look on his face,

NO! no no please don't leave me alone!

I was a bit startled by his reaction and immediately crouched down Infront of him,

Liam Liam listen to me, you're ok. I'll just be out for a few minutes ok?

He still looks terrified, afraid to let go of my arm.

Liam...do you trust me?

I ask him, gently cupping his face. He nods hesitantly,

Remember the time when I let you go grab the first aid kit in the middle of the forest? Now please... trust me the same way I trusted you.
