PANG! SQUIRT! POOF!

your warmth embraced every inch of me. it was a cold blistering night and cuddling next to you felt so good. i didnt wanna leave, but i had to. i had other obligations to meet. so with reluctance i gently pushed your arm aside, sat up and stretched. one arm to the left, and the other to the right. as i lifted my right one, the fan oscillating at the speed of five hit the back of my hand. a strange feeling took over. my hand went numb and it felt like it was never a part of my body. you woke up to the sound of the blade hitting my hand and switched the light on. it was then i noticed the thick crimson liquid trickling down my pinky. the cut looked deep with black stain circling it. startled, i jumped from my bunk and into the toilet. i washed the stain away. the water was lightly coloured with the crimson liquid that was continuously trickling from the cut. for a good 30 seconds i bled. my vision slowly blurred. before i knew it, a black canvas covered me. i knew that i was passing out, as i could hear you calling out for me, telling me to hold on. i was tempted to go deeper into the black hole, but my mind resisted. it was so much easier to fall and lose myself. but i could feel you holding me tight, not wanting me to delve deeper into the darkness. the ongoing battle between the mind and the body tired me. cold sweat secreted from every pore. finally, my mind gave a little shove and my body surrendered. i slowly regained consciousness. the blurred outline of your face sharpened with every second. i could make out that your fear-stricken face was replaced with a relieved one. i gave a little smile to show you that i was alright. you gave me a tight hug and whispered, 'don't you ever leave me.' i nodded.
