"Adam" I call out into the air. I hear some feet shifting until I'm met with warm arms around my waist.

"I knew you needed me" He replies back huskily. I close my eyes and bury myself into his chest tightening my arms around him.

"I couldn't sleep" I whisper to him. I can't see his face right now because of the dark but I like it this way. He doesn't get to see me cry.

"That's why I came" He replies back. I wish my insomnia would stop. Waking up several of times at night and not falling asleep isn't what I want to be dealing with all the time. I forgot to take my sleeping pills today so that's why I can't sleep as well.

"I'm sorry" I say into his chest.

"What are you sorry for?" He asks me.

"I'm sorry for bringing you into this mess with me. I don't expect you to come during the middle of the night in case me needing you" I feel myself being pulled away from his chest as I stare into the darkness. Soon a light comes on making me close my eyes at the sudden brightness. Opening them again I adjust it on him.

"You're my best friend Zoya" His eyebrows are scrunched together as he talks to me. Sitting up I rest my back against the headboard as I feel his gaze watching me.

"I know Adam"

"I thought you said you were starting to sleep properly again. Have you taken your pills?" His voice raised up making me place my hand against his mouth.

"Shhh" He takes my hand of his mouth and scoots closer towards me.

"Answer my question" Letting out a defeated sigh I shake my head as a no. Adam curses and runs a hand through his hair.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"I'm not doing anything to myself Adam. I'm trying; it's only been three months since that last incident. You don't know how hard it is for me" I feel a tear run down my cheek as silent sobs escape my mouth.

"Come here" Adam pulls me into him as I lay my head on his shoulder and silently cry.

"When am I going to get better?"

"I promise that you will get better soon and you will live your life like you did before"

"Are you sure?"

"One-hundred percent. This is your best friend telling you that you're going to get better and your best friend never lies" A small laugh escapes my mouth as I look at his face. He gives me a small smile and begins to wipe my tears away,

"Thank you"

"You know I hate it when you cry. Promise me you won't let a single tear fall down from your eyes from this point" His eyes hold sincerity and I know that I'll be seeing more of that if I keep this promise.

"Pinkie" Holding my pinkie finger out he wraps his own around mine and places a gentle kiss on my knuckle.

"That's my girl" He proceeds to lie down and pulls me down with him. His arms are rested behind his head as I rest mine on his shoulder. "Goodnight Zoya"

"Goodnight Adam" I wanted to say I love you but I know that I could save it for a better moment than this. Closing my eyes I embrace this moment because I know that it won't last forever.
