LEXIE SHIVERED AS SHE TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE BATH, miles trying his best to help her, but if he was being honest with himself, he was doing just as bad as her.

that's what you get when you're both withdrawing addicts.

she wasn't even aware what was happening with him, he didn't want to worry her.

lexie nearly slipped due to how shaky she was, she quickly grabbed onto miles' sleeve, getting it soaked from her wet hand, he grabbed onto her tightly.

"i got you, dont worry" he reassured her as she stepped out of the bath, completely shivering, he grabbed a towel snd draped and over her shoulders.

she wrapped the towel around her like a blanket, miles felt his body ache in immense pain, it had been for the past twenty minutes but he didn't say anything.

he could also feel himself breaking into a sweat, he felt like he was going to pass out.

but that wasn't his main concern at the moment.

"i'm— im so cold" lexie shakily spoke, miles rubbed his hands over her shoulders which were covered by the towel as he spoke,

"i know, i know, just relax" he gently said,

his body hurt so fucking bad.

he took a step backwards, his head leaning on the wall as he slid down, shutting his eyes as he slid his back down, sitting on the ground.

lexie turned around to face him, concern washed over her pale face.

"are you okay?" she asked him, her voice shaking.

"yeah... yeah i just need to sit, come here" he lied to her, she stared down at him for a moment before speaking,

"but i'll get you wet" she said as she stared at his clothes,

"don't worry about that, we gotta make sure you're okay" he replied, lexie shakily walked over and sat down in front of him, still having the towel draped over her body, he wrapped his arms around her.

as she sat in front of him, she could hear his breathing... which sounded very off.

she turned around to look at him,

"miles are you okay?" she seriously asked him, analyzing his face, noticing he was breaking into a sweat.

"mhm" he nodded with his eyes shut, but she wasn't convinced.

lexie put her hand up to his forehead, it was extremely hot.

"miles you have a fever..." she said with extreme concern, not sure why he had one for a moment before it dawned on her,

"...holy shit, you are withdrawing too" she said, her heart breaking at her own words.

"i'm... im fine lex, don't worry about me, come on" he slurred his words together, still not opening his eyes. he looked like he was in an an incredible amount of pain.

"but i am worried about you" she said softly, looking at him.

"yeah but i guess i should take a look at my arm" he restated the insult that hit him where it really hurt earlier, causing her to suck in a breath.

she did say that, and there was no taking it back.

"i'm sorry" she whispered,

"i know you are" he said back, her eyes got wide as she turned around to look at him,

"you do?" she asked him gently,

"yes, i know you" he slowly said, causing her to inhale deeply as she rested her body back in his arms...
