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.
