**Xavier's P.O.V** October 2nd
3 days until the program.
I stare at the back of Amika's head; the white comforter rising and falling as she sleeps.
Last night didn't go as I planned but it still worked out. My first class starts in one hour and I haven't moved from this spot yet. My arm is wrapped around her and this is exactly where I wanna be.
My phone vibrates on my dresser and I reach for it.
Brandon: meet me at Dunkin Donuts in 5 minutes. A lot of Shit happened without you.
I sit up in bed and reread the text. How could anything have happened? Charles is in the hospital, I was there when they took him away. Austin took a series of blows to the ribs and face but I left before I can see what happened to him.
I text him back telling him I'll be there. Looking over to my left, Amika peers up at me. I smile at her sleepy eyes and messy hair. Leaning down, I place a kiss on her cheek then to her lips.
She grabs me and pulls me down to her. I give into her and wrap my arm around her again.
Just a few more minutes.
