Chapter five

Nika wakes up to the warmth of Kate's embrace, feeling a mix of surprise and comfort. She realizes that Kate is spooning her, and a soft smile spreads across her face. Nika takes a moment to appreciate the intimacy of the moment, basking in the warmth and care conveyed through Kate's touch. She shifts slightly, turning to face Kate, her voice filled with gentle affection, "Morning, Kate."

"Five more minutes" Kate says burying her head into Nikas shoulder

Nika chuckles softly, her voice filled with warmth, "Alright, five more minutes. But only because you asked so nicely." She holds onto Kate, enjoying the closeness and letting herself relax for a moment longer. The world outside can wait; right now, in this intimate embrace, there's a sense of peace and safety that she cherishes.

As the minutes tick by, Nika gently runs her fingers through Kate's hair, relishing the quiet stillness of the morning. She's content to hold Kate, to be a source of comfort and support, even in these simple moments. Finally, when the agreed-upon five minutes have passed, Nika speaks softly, "Time's up, sleepyhead. Ready to face the day?"

"Not yet." Kate groans, "I just wanna lay here."

Nika chuckles, understanding Kate's reluctance to leave the comfort of their embrace. She responds warmly, "Alright, a few more minutes it is. We can take our time and wake up together." With that, she holds Kate a little tighter, savoring the shared warmth and closeness. The world outside may have its demands, but in these moments, they'll find solace and support in each other's arms.

The morning continues, and the sun starts filtering through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room. Nika glances at the clock, noticing the passing time, but she doesn't move just yet. She nuzzles closer to Kate, feeling the rhythm of her breath against her skin. Finally, she whispers softly, "We should probably get up, but I'm enjoying this cozy moment with you."

"I wanna get sober, Nika." Kate whispered, pulling Nika back down into the bed

Nika's heart swells with understanding and support at Kate's whispered confession. She lays back down next to Kate, wrapping an arm around her, and responds with a soothing voice, "I'm here for you, Kate. You don't have to do this alone. We'll work through it together, every step of the way. You have the strength to overcome this, and I'll be by your side, just like right now."

She holds Kate close, offering a comforting presence and a promise of understanding and support. They'll face the challenges ahead, but for now, in this quiet moment, they have each other. Nika knows the road to sobriety won't be easy, but she's committed to being there for Kate, offering unwavering love and encouragement as they navigate the journey together toward a healthier and brighter future.

Nika's heart aches as she witnesses Kate's struggles with withdrawal, feeling a mix of helplessness and determination. The aggressive outbursts, breakdowns, and exhaustion pull at Nika's emotions, and she knows that this battle is far from easy. However, every time Kate succumbs to sleep, Nika is there, providing comfort and reassurance. She understands that recovery is a process, and setbacks are part of the journey. With patience and love, Nika continues to stay by Kate's side, offering the support and understanding she needs during these difficult times.

On day, Kate was laying on the ground shaking. Her withdraws were getting the best of her

Nika's heart aches as she sees Kate laid out on the ground, shaking from the intensity of her withdrawals. It's evident that the struggle is taking a toll on her both physically and emotionally. Nika quickly moves to Kate's side, kneeling down next to her. Her voice is filled with concern and warmth as she speaks, "Kate, I'm here with you. You're not alone in this. We'll get through this together."
