The Fear Of The Unknown Part 1

How can one's dream turn into a reality, only to realize she's not all she's cracked up to be. Is she?

One night I was in bed alone, in a big massive mansion. Security stood outside my door, my bodyguard was sleeping on the couch that was by the fireplace. I always liked it when Caspian was over protective; especially when I was ill and couldn't go to a social event with him, he wanted to make sure that I was properly protected even if I was with him or not.

It took me awhile to doze off because I had been crying; my throat was hurting, and I was struggling to breathe. I refused to call Caspian because I knew how important this function was for him; I didn't want him to panic or for his worry about my mental health or my current bug to ruin his big moment for his business.

I was slowly drifting off to sleep; Darrell my bodyguard looked over and he said quietly as he was coming over, “Come on I think that's enough work for one night” as he took my iPad off me and laid it on the side table. He then put blankets over me because he knew I liked to cuddle the duvet for comfort…

As I laid my head on the soft pillows, my eyes were getting heavier and heavier, and I knew my medication and paracetamol had started to kick in. The heavy anxiety attack I had endured the hour before had caused me to struggle to breathe, gave me a massive headache, and a really bad sore throat. Everything was too much for me to handle. I was completely out of it; I was in a deep sleep and no one could wake me up. I had found myself by this pond pondering what I should do.

The water was deep and inviting; this was when I was at my weakest point in my life, no one was here to stop me from doing anything. I had started to walk in; I could barely hear voices shouting my name. I stopped to look with my eyes full of tears. I could see a man in a white shirt and caramel coloured trousers running in. I couldn't even think who it was until he picked me up in his arms, as I put my arms around his neck I could smell his aftershave of Jean Paul Glitter. My favourite aftershave on any man; this one I liked more, I knew it was Caspian coming running in after me.

We had reached the bank where everyone else was; I had started to shake in his arms, he knew I was freezing as I was only wearing a strappy top and shorts. The air had changed; winds had started to pick up, clouds had formed and turned dark and black, threatening a massive downpour of rain. I could hear him giving orders to head back to the vehicles quickly and officially.

I could feel the rain starting to fall; Caspian’s shirt had a nice white cotton feel to it, I always thought he was going to burst out of them with his muscles and joked about the fact that he works out too much to be getting wet. I was murmuring something to Caspian about something but he couldn't make out what I was saying. I could hear the panic in his voice with a bit of reassurance that we were nearly there; I struggled to open my eyes, my lips were turning blue. I could hear the doors open; blankets wrapped around me, the doors closed, and I could feel Caspian sitting in the back of the car. He told me that he was going to take me back to his place without any arguments because he was a lot closer and he could look after me better.

The feeling of being in his house was like being a stranger in a different land. I woke up in a cold sweat with a fever as everyone rushed to my aid, even Caspian who could hear me from the other side of the house…

I actually woke myself up from the dream screaming; Darrell and the security were running to my aid, Darrell was trying to calm me down whilst a few others were on their phones calling around to see where Caspian was. It wasn't long before he finally arrived, running in from the front of the house to my room. I had begged him not to leave me on my own. I know the rules that his family had to follow; if he could he would. Darrell and Caspian’s bodyguard Lukas had agreed, along with the security, that it wasn't the best solution but as long as I managed to fall back to sleep it would be ok. Knowing that he was in the house, Darrell would sleep close by, as long as I need him…
