Chapter 29: Facing Fears

"Um...what are we doing here?"

"Isn't obvious?" I stared at him with a confused look.

"Yes, this is an indoor rock climbing place...but why are we here?"

"What does it look like we are doing?" He said slowly like waiting for me to understand the fact that he's making me climb.

"No, no, no. You more than anyone knows I'm terrified of heights. That is if you remember."

"I remember. That's why we are here. Listen I know you're scared but I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you. Do you trust me?" His eyes were full of sincerity and expecting my answer.

My breathing faltered but I decided to give it a shot. I was trying to break every barrier I've built over the years. I knew he was trying to do that, but still couldn't stop my breathing from getting erratic. "I trust you I but..." I left that thought linger and kept looking how high that thing was.

Drake saw my hesitation and spoke again. "Well, in that case you won't get what's up there waiting for you." He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

I looked at him confused and he pointed to something that looked like an envelope attached to the top of the rope.

I turned to look at him confused. "What's that?"

"There's only one way to find out." He smiled mischievously.

I grunted in frustration. I looked at the ground and to the envelope and repeated that action for quite some time until I made up my mind.

"Okay." I said not looking at him and surprised that he even heard me.

"Great. Let's get you ready." He was walking so happy towards the wall, while I dreaded every step. I'm beginning to regret my decision.

"Alright. Let's get you up there." He said while but of us were strapped and ready to climb. He grabbed one of the hand holds and nodded motioning for me to do the same to one that was close to me.

I took a deep breath and did as he asked. Soon I began to get the hang of it. Holding on tight and now using my feet too to push myself up.

Everything was going smoothly until one of my foot slipped. I shrieked and held to the rope for dear life.

I don't know how Drake came to me so fast, or was it the fact that I had my eyes closed shut? Either way, when I opened my eyes he was next to me but he didn't touch me or help me to hold back to the wall which was a few feet away from me. Oh sweet Lord, I was dangling like 20 feet above the ground. My breathing was becoming erratic again and I feared a panic attack. That's when Drake decided to speak.

"You can do it, Emily. Just swing yourself and grab one of the holds." He encouraged but I was too paralyzed to do so.

I shook my head rapidly. "I can't, I-I can't do it."

"Yes you can. Look at me, don't look at the ground. That's done, everything that you climbed it's all behind. Just like your life, everything that you lived it's all in the past. Now this is the scary part, you have to keep going on but now you are on your own. You know how to do it but you only need to learn how to get back and keep going to get what you want. I won't help you do so, no one else will. You need to learn how to trust yourself."

I nodded and bit my lip. He's right. I took a deep breath for the hundred time today and began to swing myself back and forth. The first try when I reached it, my hands slipped.

"Keep going. I know you can do it." His tone was serious and I knew he meant every single word.

I looked at the hand hold that I aimed for to grab and began to swing myself again. This time I reached it and held on tight. I did the same to one that was close with my other hand and looked down to place my feet on one for each.

I inhale and exhaled for a while until I felt Drake's hand on my back. I turned to look at him and his expression held nothing but pride. I smiled at him and kissed him softly.

"Thank you." I whispered on his lips.

"You did that all by yourself, babe. I'm proud of you." He whispered back.

After that sweet moment, we continued our short journey to the top. I was so thrilled when we reached the top. I stood there looking at the ground and back to Drake.

"Now where's my prize?" I asked almost bouncing. I felt like a child and proud of it.

Drake chuckled and stretched his arm to grab one the ropes where the envelope was attached to. He took it and gave it to me. His smile never left his face.

I opened it, anxious to see what was in it.

When I unfold its content, it read:

You are everything I asked for

What my empty soul

Wanted to feel


You are what I've waited for

What in dreams I searched for

And I found in you


You have lit

Every part of my soul

Every part of my being


I don't have a heart

Nor eyes for anyone

Only for you


You are the love of my life

Destiny knew it

And placed you before me


Every time I look at the past

It's when I understand

That by your side it's where I always belonged


You are everything I asked for

What I didn't know

And found in you


Suddenly my breathing faltered again and I was overwhelmed in a good way. What am I supposed to say to all of this? No one was ever done something like this for me. That's for certain...like you didn't know.

When I gathered the courage I need to look at him, I didn't find him until I turned around.

That's when he turned a switch and the room lit up. It took my breath away. The small space was covered with white Christmas lights in the background. There was a small table with a white table cloth and a small white rose arrangement in the middle. There were also two plate setting, everything looked so romantic. I must say, I was truly impressed.

My eyes snapped at Drake the moment I heard music playing. He was sitting in the floor playing a guitar...It took everything in me not to faint at that moment.

While playing, he turned to look at me. "That's a song. Well, the translation of it. I wanted to sing it to you but it's in Spanish. Do you wanna hear it?"

I nodded like an idiot. Is he insane? Of course I want to listen to it!

I sat in front of him with my legs crossed. I kept the letter with the song in my hands.

Eres todo lo que pedia

Lo que mi alma vacia

Quería sentir


Eres lo que tanto esperaba

Lo que en sueños buscaba

Y que en ti descubri...


If Drake was hot talking in Spanish, he was damn sexy singing in Spanish. He literary took my breath away. When he said he could play the guitar, I never imagined that he could sing too and so beautifully.

When he finished playing the last chord, I kept staring at him in awe.

He looked at me and a flash of uncertainty crossed his eyes. "Did you like it?" He asked kind of nervous.

I kept staring at him for a while until my body reacted to my thoughts. I crawled to him and kissed him so passionately that it shocked him. It even took him a couple of seconds to react but when he did, he began to kiss me the same. And in that moment I realized...

I love him
