Under your skin
Feel my blood flow with yours
My heart beat with yours
Sharing this body as one
Save me as I save you
This skin holds enough room for two
Under my skin
I belong with you
As you belong with me

"Is Xavier stopping by today?" My mother questioned.
"He might."
"Well if he does, tell him I said hi. I'll be back around 2am. Make sure you put on the alarm."
"Yes ma'am."
She looked at me before placing her bag down and walking over to my pulling me into her arms.
"I love you. There is nothing that will ever change that. I know you're hurting, and I know we've tried before to heal that. And we'll keep trying. I want you to be happy, you deserve to be happy. You are my baby girl and I hate to not see that beautiful smile on your face."
"I know."
"You will get through this. And I'm always right here. I know I go to work at the hospital and I'm there more than you would like. I promise that I'll try to be home more. So you can talk to me, or we can just sit together. Anything you need baby."
"Thank you mommy."
"You are my moon and stars. And you shine just as bright....I'll see you in the morning okay?"
"Okay."
She kissed my forehead and grabbed her things again before opening the door.
"Oh!"
Xavier stood in the doorway just about to ring the bell and my mom laughed.
"The boys got timing."
She stepped aside and let him in before stepping out.
"Behave."
I gave her a nod and she shut the front door. I looked at Xavier and he smiled.
"How you feel?"
"Fine."
"What's the plan?"
I shrugged. I hadn't really figured it out. Since Thursday night, Xavier had been texting and calling me to make sure I was okay. And stopping by when I asked him to. It was Sunday now and I just didn't want to be by myself in the house. I felt safer when he was here, it was weird but it was comfortable.
"I don't know...we can just watch movies."
"Cool with me."
I felt the chill take over my body and I rolled my neck and shut my eyes.
"You okay?"
I heard his footsteps come closer and then I felt his hand on my forehead.
"You're burning up."
"I'm freezing..."
"Probably having withdrawals. Ima get you a blanket and some pedialyte."
