"That feeling when... you don't even know what the fuck you're feeling."

Alexa SinclairI'm so dead.
"How's the hangover Sinclair?" Tom caught up with me in the hallway.
"Fuck off." I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling like a dead man walking.
"That's a first, no more nice girl?" He berated, tickling my elbow.
"Tom, i'll punch you in the face if you don't shut the fuck up." I peered up at him, with serious expression on my face.
"You were about to kiss this face, don't hate me because you ain't me." He spun his finger in a circle, pointing to himself.
"I remember almost every weird thing I said, trust me kissing you would have been the most sane thing i'd done last night." I slid down the wall of lockers, placing my head in my hands.
"You won't give me weed, the aftermath of drinking sucks, and i'm so stressed." I threw my head back, wanting to cry but having no tears left. I'd already done all of that this morning.
"I'm so lost Tom." I admitted, rubbing at my temples. He swung an arm around me.
"Shawty, all i'm sayin' is I don't want you getting mixed up in my shit. What's bothering you?"
I exhaled a ragged breath, still feeling my head pounding. "I miss my mom." I answered, truthfully. He sighed. "Ight, come here, it's okay." Tom wrapped his arms around me fully.
I held onto him, my nails digging into his shoulder blades. "You wanna make the pain go away, I get it." He raked his fingers through my hair. I stayed in the same spot, without saying a single word, as he tried to make it better.
It's not going to get better.
I let go of him, banging my head against my kneecaps. "You wanna go home?"
I got up, taking his hand into mine. It felt selfish of me to want him to come with, especially when I knew he was struggling with his grades.
I hope he'll understand.

"Shit, what you like? Uh? Tea?" He crouched in front of my bed, helping me get in it.
"I don't need anything, I already took Tylenol this morning." I hid underneath my covers, away from the big light.
He noticed, going to turn it off.
"Alright... I should get back—"
"Stay with me?" I peeked my head out.
"You want me to?"
Always.
"Yeah."
He took his shoes off, stepping on the edge of the mattress. I swear, I thought he was going to fall but he didn't, moving to lay beside me.
He was ontop of the blankets.
I didn't ask for permission, making him get under the covers. He was wearing his basketball shorts, so I think he's comfy.
