Eyelids Alex Babinski FF

Chapter Two

I slowly rolled over onto my side, feeling nothing but cold sheets beside me. As I opened my eyes I was still surrounded by darkness, I was secretly hoping that one day I'd wake up and be able to see again, but I knew that it was pointless to keep hanging onto that.

I reached out, feeling around for the soft material of a shirt as I checked the collar of the shirt to make sure the tag was facing the right way, I slowly slipped it over my head and began my search for a pair of panties. Once I was finished with finding a pair of panties, I made my way downstairs in Alex's shirt.

I could hear the soft voices of two people talking from in the kitchen as I took one step at a time, the air feeling less tense before. "Sandra, I know you can't live like this, but you think it's fair for Caden to live here too? I love you like another mom, but you really need to choose what's better for you both."

I heard the sweet soft sigh from my mother, my hands reaching out for anything to guide me to the kitchen where the hushed voices were coming from. "I think it's time Caden moved in with me, I have enough room for the both of us, it's more of a safer and quieter place for her."

"Alex, you really thi- sweetheart, how did you sleep?" I felt around until the familiar soft hand of Alex's entwined with mine.

"I slept okay." I stated as I was pulled into the comforting arms of my mother, the way her hands locked together at the small of my back showing nothing more than the protective mother herself.

"I love you." I heard her whisper as her lips touched the side of my head. "Never forget that." I nodded lightly as her soft warm cheek pressed against my head. "I want you to move in with Alex." I heard her say.

I pulled back from her grasp, ever too quickly as I stumbled back only to fall into another pair of arms. The way Alex's arms wrapped around me made me feel safer, being with him made me feel safe making all the bad things just disappear right before me.

"I don't want to just leave you here." I stutter out as I feel Alex's fingers tangling with the stray pieces of hair that was situated between my collarbone and breast.

"Caden, baby, I just need you to be safe. If you're with Alex, I know exactly that you're safe. I love you and as much as this hurts me, I'm kicking you out to live with Alex."

I buried my face into Alex's shoulder, holding back the tears that were desperately wanting to be free of the last couple of days. Although my mom was doing this for my safety, I couldn't help but feel as if she was abandoning me leaving me with the only person who knew how to make me smile.

The way Alex's arms squeezed my waist gently told me that things would be okay between us both. I pulled back slowly and nodded my head gently, as much as it hurt to agree I knew that I had no choice.

By nine o'clock all my things were situated around Alex's apartment, I could tell he was already starting to put my clothes away. I didn't have many things which would make it easier for us both.

I was sitting crossed legged in the middle of his satin covered bed, listening to yet another song of his. The smile on my face never faltering as I felt his lips against my forehead.

"I love you." He spoke quietly yet so softly that it made my skin rise with goosebumps.

"And I love you." I said back, gently reaching up to stroke his right cheek as his lips lingered against my skin.

I helped the best that I could with folding and putting away my clothes, people wonder how I know what I'm wearing. I don't, I just hope to God that Alex has some fashion sense. I knew it was all black clothing, just by the way it gave like a sadness everytime I touched it.
