"Emmy... Emmy look at me. Honey let me see your eyes." I opened my eyes to meet Mateo's staring back at me with concern. One hand is on my knee and his other hand is trying to hold one of mine. I unclasped my hands and held onto one of Mateo's. "There you are." I let out a shakey breath and Mateo moved closer to me. I'm sitting on the toilet and he is kneeling on the ground completely tuned into me. "Breath, honey. Look at me. You're safe."
I held onto his hand and I felt my lungs finally release the fire and leaned into Mateo, resting my head on his shoulder. "I hate... I hate this." Mateo began rubbing my back in this slow comfort and I felt my body slowly relaxing into him. Outside this room is boisterous, loud, crazy, and filled with men. Here it's just him and I.
"I know you do. You let me know your comfort-- if it's kicking everyone out, I'll do that."
I pulled back and looked into his eyes and over his face. The concern written on his face grounded me. I briefly attached my lips to his, basking in the affection. I want to be strong for myself. I don't want to hide in a bathroom.
