Go Ahead Mami Breathe Again Novels & Stories

“If this keeps up, we’ll never even get to breathe.” Conan turns back to me, his smile softened now, his eyes tender. “One step at a time,” he says, crossing the room to sit beside me. He takes my hands, pulling them gently away from my face. “You don’t have to fix everything tonight. You don’t have to prove anything. You’ve already proven enough. Just breathe, Maya. Breathe with me.” So I do. I match his rhythm, his steady inhale, his controlled exhale. The room seems to shrink until it’s just us, our breaths weaving together, the world outside fading.

He reached up, brushing the tears from my cheeks with his thumb. “Breathe with me,” he said, taking a deep breath. “In and out, just like that. In and out.” I tried to copy him, inhaling slowly. Then exhaling. It hurt but I forced myself to keep going and focus on him as well as the sound of his voice. Slowly, I began to breathe easier. The panic began to fade away. I felt my heartbeat start to slow. “There you go,” Matteo smiled, his hand still resting on my shoulder. “Keep breathing just like that. You’re okay. You’re going to be okay.”

'Good,' the voice whispers encouragingly, 'good, keep calm and keep breathing, let your power do the rest. 'Okay,' I smile, truly feeling hopeful, 'rubbing my stomach, "it's okay, my angel, I've got you, everything will be okay, we will get out of here, I will meet you and we will have a wonderful life. You, me, your father. Nothing will stop us now, now we have you, now there is hope again."

I find myself in front of Amelia's doorstep trying as hard as I can to cool off my heavily throbbing nerves. This is not a suicide mission, Eve. Just take a very deep deep breath. You can do this. You can absolutely do this. Oh my God. Why the hell am I find it extremely hard to breathe ? I shut my eyes and take in a deep breath. It is not that hard Eve. All you just have to do is walk in, greet Amelia and then place all your attention on that stunning son of a gun.

I take some deep breaths. “Good job, keep breathing in and out. Easy, yes just like that.” He now was rubbing my back a little and sparks start to rush over my back. PLOP, I could feel Ari from far away trying to talk to me but I can’t hear her. I tried focusing on only Ari her voice and after a minute she came through. “Mate, Mate, Mate…” “What do you mean Ari?” “Finally you can hear me, I’m trying to connect with you for at least 10 minutes.”

he whispered in my ear while his hand rubbed my back. Calm down, I kept telling myself. You need to calm down, Alexandra. Don’t let them win. Don’t let them think you are still the scared little girl they could lock up in a dark room. “There you go, baby. Breathe in and out slowly,” Adriano coaxed softly. This time, I found myself doing just that. I breathed in and let it out slowly until my breathing returned to normal. “You’re okay.” He pecked my forehead and murmured against my skin. I’m okay.

Then she smiled, that gummy, unselfconscious smile that made everything else disappear. "Mama," she said. Clear as anything. I kissed her forehead. "I'm here, baby. I'm here." Aiden put his arm around us. And for the first time in weeks, I let myself stop. Let myself breathe. Let myself be exactly where I was supposed to be. *****

Not until I felt it, the flutter of my mother's heartbeat growing stronger, the warmth of her spirit returning to her body like a bird coming home to nest. The power finally released me, and I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. My vision swam, but I forced myself to look toward my parents' bedroom door. Elder Mira emerged first, her eyes wide with shock. "She's breathing," the old healer said, her voice filled with wonder. "Luna Aria is breathing again." When the light fades — Aria is breathing again.

She said in frustration as she took a gulp of her vodka. Suddenly Yunho's cell phone vibrated. He pick up the call quickly when he read the name printed on the cellphone screen. "Good afternoon, great master." The woman turned lazily towards her guard because now the man was talking to her grandfather. Even though she just said that she wanted to avoid him for a while. "Great master wants to talk to you, Ms." Krystal cursed at her guard in annoyance and immediately grabbed the black cell phone violently. Even though she had turned off her cellphone so that her grandfather wouldn't talk to her. But what she got, it was the stupid man next to her that made her have to talk to her grandfather.

“Breathe with me, okay? In through your nose, out through your mouth. We’ll do it together.” She nodded weakly, gripping my hand like a lifeline. I started breathing, slow and measured, and after a shaky moment, she followed. Her chest rose and fell in sync with mine, and I felt her iron grip loosen just a little. “That’s it, good,” I said softly, my voice full of encouragement. “You’re almost there, Mom. Just a little more.” The minutes dragged on, every second stretching into what felt like an eternity. Sweat poured down her face, and I kept wiping it away with my sleeve, whispering reassurances even as my heart pounded with worry.
