I turned around frantically, and my eyes locked at the small door. I headed towards it, leaning my ear against it, trying to listen.
"Please, let me out..just let me out, I'm going to choke in here.."

It was Barron's voice. I couldn't believe myself.
I tried to shake the doorknob to throw the door open, but it didn't. I sighed heavily.
I then started to search my bag, and the closest thing I saw was my credit card.
I let it out quickly, and put it between the door and the well-painted wall.

The door was unlocked a few moments later, and when I glanced inside, I saw a scene that made my heart throb.

Barron was curled into a ball, his shoulders shaking with sobs, his head between his knees, and I noticed that the room's width was only six feet. Barely. I immediately knew why was he crying.

"Barron, sweetheart.."
He looked up immediately as I stretched out my arms, running towards him, kneeling down to his level.

He threw his arms around my torso in a tight, grateful hug, and continued to sob softly. I hugged him back, trying to sooth his sobs, rubbing his back.
"It's okay..it's okay."
I assured as he hugged me tighter.

"Gosh..what happened ?"
I asked when we let go. His beautiful blue eyes were full of tears, and it completely hurt me. He was claustrophobic, I knew it. And whoever did this was heartless.

Sure enough, I knew it was John.
"Barron, sweetie..can you tell me what happened ?- I can go tell your principal.."
He shook his head, hugging me again.
"No, it will only make it worse.."
I felt his hair, messaging it slowly.

That's when I started to tear up.
I just couldn't see him get hurt, and definitely not now. When we started dating, we made a promise that we would stick by each other and help. I wanted so much to do what I promised to do, but I also respected his opinion. I didn't want to make it worse for him.

"What do you want me to do, honey ?"
I asked him softly. He hugged me tighter, a small sob escaping his mouth.
"Stay with me.."
I nodded.
"Always."

...

"How did you know I was in trouble ?"
He asked, his arm around my torso in another tight, grateful embrace. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him back as we walked towards the limo

"I just know things now. Plus I really wanted to talk to you.."
"Well, I am here to listen."
He said, giving me a beautiful smile of his.
"I know."
I told him everything about my grandma. About how mum was scared of her. About how she was hallucinating. Everything.

"Oh.."
He said, shocked as he heard the full story.
"That's all you have to say ?"
"I mean, I don't know. I don't really know what I think. She might be possessed."

I nodded at him.
"Yeah, that's what mum thought too. But I wasn't so sure. Maybe mum is the one who's seeing things, who knows ?"
He shrugged.

"Yeah, maybe.."

Gosh we were wrong !
