"What are you doing here?" Eric is at the door. He is wearing a pair of shorts and no shirt. I can see everything and my eyes trail down his body.  "It is 4 A.M."

"Can I sleep here?" I ask him.

He looks geniuenly shocked and then he looks at me. I have dark circles under my eyes and my hair is all over the place. My skin is more pale than normal and I feel exactly as I look. Like shit. I am exhausted and can not keep pretending that I am fine. I feel a little dizzy and stumble. He quickly catches me before I fall and takes me in.

"When did you last sleep?" He asks sternly and I feel bad lying to him but he can't know the truth.

"Yesterday"

"The truth Savvina." He has a very serious look on his face and I know I can't lie to him again.

"I don't remamber." I mumble, I really don't.

"Go sleep on the bed, I will take the couch." He says not comenting on my previous answer.

"No it's fine I will take the couch." I argue.

"Sleep on the bed. It's final." He looks serious and I don't have the strenth to fight with him.

I walk at the bedroom with Eric following me. I sit at the edge of the bed and Eric is doing something in his closet. The bed is extremely comfortable and I lay down. I close my eyes but then I feel something soft hit my face. I stand up and grab the clothes that was previously on my face.

"What is that?"I ask Eric confused. In my hand there wher a t-shirt and a pair of shorts.

"Put them on." He replies.

"Why? I am wearing clothes." I argue.

"You are not leaving the room in those and these are not clothes. They are almost underwear ." He says.

At the moment I am not thinking properly and my mind is not working. Without minding  that Eric is still in the room I take off the top and my shorts and change at his comfy clothes. He has seen me many times change so at the moment I didn't think to exit the room. The t-shirt that he gave me was oversized and looked like a dress on me but it smelled like him and I could not get enough of his scent.

I lay in the left side of the bed and curl in a ball.

"Goodnight

"Goodnight." Eric says this time loud enough for me to hear.

"Night." I say and close my eyes.

1...2...5...15 minutes have past and I still can't sleep. I get up and head to the living room were Eric is.

He is laying on the couch reading a book. When I enter he turns and looks at me. I start to cry from the exhaustion and Eric quickly comes to me.

"Hey, hey what's wrong?" He asks with a soft voice.
