Bam dropped to her knees, pulling Oom up into her chest, wrapping her arms around Oom's shaking body so tightly there was no space left between them. Oom locked her arms around Bam’s neck, burying her face into the crook of Bam's neck, holding on with every remaining ounce of her soul as a fresh, tidal wave of raw, heart-shattering sobs tore from her lungs. "Bam! Bambi!" Oom sobbed uncontrollably, her bloody fingers clutching tightly into the fabric of Bam's shirt, wetting Bam's shoulder with her tears. "You came back, you came back for me, don't leave me again please, never leave me again." Bam buried her face into Oom’s hair, her own body shaking with wracking, violent sobs as she kissed Oom's cheek, her forehead, and her tear-stained lips over and over again, ignoring the blood smearing onto her own clothes. "I'm here, my love. I'm right here," Bam wept brokenly, pressing Oom as close to her heart as physically possible, whispering into her ear with utter devotion. "I'm never leaving you again. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Oom. I'm here now, Bambi is right here." Bam held Oom tightly, continuing to whisper sweet, soothing words into her hair, stroking her back with firm, comforting pressure until Oom's violent trembles slowly began to ease and her hyperventilating breath gradually softened. "Are you real? Not my imagination?" Oom sobbed more, her voice trembling as fresh tears pooled in her eyes, her hands desperately cupping Bam's face to feel the real, breathing warmth of her skin. "Tell me I'm not dreaming, please, tell me you're really here.." "I am real, Oom. Not your imagination," Bam promised, leaning forward to press her forehead against Oom's, her own tears flowing endlessly down her cheeks as she cradled Oom's face. "I'm right here in your arms, my love. I'm real, and I'm not going anywhere." "Please don't leave me," Oom looked at Bam, tears falling without pause, her blood-stained fingers clinging to Bam's collar like a lifeline. "If you leave me again, I won't survive it, Bam. Please stay, please." Bam too crying, her shoulders shaking as she let out a broken, tearful laugh of sheer devotion, pressing a soft, lingering kiss onto Oom's trembling lips. "I won't leave. I swear on my life, I will never leave your side again, Oom. I don't care about the risk, I don't care about the past, I am staying right here with you forever." "Bambi." Oom whimpered softly, the heavy, exhausting weight of weeks of agony finally lifting off her frail body. Bam stayed like that, sitting on the floor amidst the ruin of the room, holding Oom securely in her arms and rocking her back and forth. She kept whispering soft vows of love into the quiet darkness, brushing away Oom's endless tears, until the exhaustion finally pulled Oom under, and she fell deeply, peacefully asleep in Bam's protective embrace. #oombam #bamsaralee #oomeisaya - @bae9779s
