I woke up properly at about 7am, to Leo sitting at the bottom of my bed stroking little circles on my leg.
His face was pale and he looked scarily thin, he had black bags under his eyes which were bloodshot.
"Did you get any sleep last night?" I said to Leo,sitting up, although I already knew the answer.
He froze, he looked down at his feet and shook his head slowly,looking guilty.
"Are you tired? Hungry? Thirsty? Are you in pain? Whats up?" I asked, rubbing his arm reassuringly.
"I don't know..." he mumbled under his breath, his voice cracking.
"Leo, describe how you feel. What do you think is going on." I said, trying not to get upset and staying strong.
"I feel guilty." He said, his eyes looking up to me, all bloodshot and full of tears.
"What?" I said, not understanding at all, not having a clue in the world.
"Its all my fault that this has happened. Before you were happy, but I had to come crashing in and messed up everything. I am stupid, not for being in love with you, but for ruining everything. Without me, you would be fine. Your anxiety would be better, you wouldn't have depression," he said, crying," and you wouldn't want to die..." he said this last bit quieter.

I felt torn. I had made him feel this. It was all my fault, not his.
"Baby,it's not your fault." I started, crying,"I love you with all my heart and im sorry that I had to make you feel like this. You've made me happier than I ever have been, because I've had you by my side. Yeah they have got me down, but because I have you by my side, I don't care. They're just jealous! I've just gotta keep smiling and stay strong because if your hopeful, you'll be a shining star to others" I smiled.
"I love you..." Leo said and pulled me into a hug, both of us crying into one another's shoulder.
"Come on, let's try get back to bed. Think happy thoughts" I said as we both lay down.
I wiped away Leos tears and brushed his fringe out of his eyes. He kissed my forehead and we both smiled amd closed our eyes.

"Nice use of BAM puns too, by the way" Leo joked and I laughed before getting some sleep.
