Our Journey

Part 5

Allayah's Pov:

As i went to bed,I couldn't stop thinking about Axton.And i know your probably wondering who's Axton?

Axton was my boyfriend,he passed away about 5 months ago.He committed suicide

I dont like talking about this just because it makes me emotional.

How we met

I met Axton in freshman year of high school but we didn't start dating until sophomore.Yup he ask me out alot and it went from there.

A few years ago How its started
He always came to my place so we could be together but he never aloud me to go to his,of course I felt some type of way and found that weird.But everytime I asked he would shut me down,so I just stop asking.

It was in senior year that I started to see bruises over his body.You couldn't really notice unless you were probably checking him out.I was seeing it and I was afraid to ask him,so I kept quiet.

Until it wasn't only bruises,he had cuts on his wrists every time I touched him he winced in pain.

I decided that I had to say something to him,find out whats wrong because I couldn't stand to see him hurting like this anymore .

That day he was coming over to my house for the night.We were gonna just watch a movie, eat dinner and just chill.

When he came over we were having a little talk when I decided to just ask him about what's happening at home.

"Axton?"I said softly with my head on his chest.

"Baby?"he answered back,turning his attention from the tv to me.

"I wanted to ask you about something and I dont want you to be mad."I looked down lowering my head on his chest.

"What is it Lay?"he said rubbing my hair and pulling up my chin so I can look at him.

"For the past month Ive realized a change in you,you hardly talk to people, you flinch when I touch you"

He removed his hand from under my chin and clenched his jaw.

"Its nothing Allayah,im okay,"he said looking at me knowing damn well im not convinced.

"Your not Axton,I can see it,"I said with tears forming in my eyes."I dont know who your trying to convince but its not me Axton."

He just shakes his head turning away from me.He knew I wasnt buying the lie he just told me.

I turned back his head towards me gently and thats when I saw the tears and his puffy eyes.

I couldn't do anything but hug him as he just melted in my arms,crying his heart out.

We layed there for about 10 minutes trying to comfort each other as much as  we could.Before I noticed he fell asleep and then I fell asleep knowing that he was right here with me.
