My hands are wrapped around my legs, trying to cover myself as much as possible.

"Are you okay?" I hear him say:

"Yeah," I say softly, the shower feels so good after such a long time.

Lee is trying to be as gentle as he can, and he's doing a good job at it.

I feel like I'm going to pass out from exhaustion. I didn't notice how tired I actually was till I got to have a hot bath, and the fact that Lee is here is ruining it. That's how tired I am.

"Are you okay?" he asks. I nodded, not giving him a proper answer.

He has hands, and then I feel as his hand starts to touch my hair.

It feels so relaxing, especially with shampoo that smells like vanilla.

My eyes close and my head tilts back; he brushes my hair, and a small moan escapes my mouth.

My eyes widened and my heart started to rise, but I heard no reaction from Lee.

He washed shampoo from my head, and his finger started to follow as a line.

I look at her, as she reminds me of silence. I softly call for her, but there's no response.

I look at her and see that her eyes are closed and she's breathing slowly. I guess she fell asleep. I take her towel; thank God it's a really big one.

Wrap her in it and take her to the bed, holding her in bridal style.

I tried to dry her hair with a towel as much as I could. I unwrapped her from her towel and quickly covered her with a blanket.

I go out, leaving her in peace. I did so much damage to her life that I don't want to do more, even though I'm trying to help her with anything and everything. Not that I can do much,  she's not letting me do things I can, although I do know why she's not letting me do anything.

I look around, place her phone next to her, and walk out again.

Sit on a chair, and overthinking takes over my mind, like it does every time I sit in silence.

That's why I hate it.

I hate silence, and I would rather hear Cordelia's scolding the whole day than be left in silence.

Cordelia is a name that I can't even use because of my stupidity and stubbornness.
