It's not what it looks like

I am so tired. I need to lay down and hopefully sleep early.

Marko isn't home yet but I mean can you blaim him? He is the one that brings money to this house and if he hadn't attended that meeting who knows what would have happened.

And I might sound terrible for this but I love him. And he wants what's best for us. Right?

Although I don't really know much about him now that I think about it. All I know is that I love him with all my heart and I would do anything for him.

As I was about to sit down the doorbell rang.

Hmmm is he back?

I open the door and what I see is rather unexpected. It's a young male with tattoos all over him. He is quite tall and has fluffy brown hair. His green eyes look red and glossy like he is about to cry. He looks about Crystal's age...

"And who might you be young fella?"

"I am a friend of Crystal's. I heard what happened can I please see her?"

"Oh um well she is sleeping now but-"

"Please I need to make sure she is okay."

Wow. He looks really worried. Like he really does care for my baby Crystal.

"Oh I suppose you can see her just make it quick."

He rushes in without wasting anytime talking to me and heads straight upstairs...

Doors, doors, doors.

Aha.

There. I hear a light breathing sound from the door to my right. I walk in and see my beautiful angel laying on her side peacefully sleeping.

"Oh Angel..."

I slowly approach her closing the door behind me. I try not to wake her up and slightly caress her cheek with my finger.

She moves a little hinting she likes my hand placement. She leans onto my hand as the corners of her mouth turns up a little.

I smirk at the thought of her not ignoring me and longing for my touch.

I slowly sit on the bed and start playing with her hair.

"Hi angel" I whisper.

"Hmmm" she hums in her sleep.

"How are you?"

"I am fine" she murmures still half asleep.

"I am glad..." I exhale deeply while srill oalying wirh her hair. Hee smooth and soft hair.

I just want to hold her. Take all her pain away. Make her feel safe again.

Unfortunately not now. I just came to check up on her. Although i wish i could do more...

"Sleep tight." and then I get up and start walking to the door.
