May POV

I swallow my morning pills and drink my water quickly. I put the bottle down and wipe my mouth.

I look over and see Harry open the fridge. He grabs the milk then goes to the cabinet to get the cereal.

"How'd you sleep?" Harry asks me.

"Okay, you?" I ask.

"Okay." He puts a handful of cereal in a bowl then adds milk.

"How are you?" I ask him. His eyes look gloomy making me worry.

"I told you not to worry about me May." I bite my lip.

"How can I just not worry about you?" I ask, my voice soft.

"By not asking how I am." He says clearly. "Just worry about how you're doing."

"You said we're doing this together and we'll grieve together. But we're not doing it together, you're helping me and you won't let me help you. I don't know what you're thinking."

"I just want you to get better."

"Please just let me believe that I can help you." I say softly. "I know you want me to get better but you need comfort too. We're supposed to take care of each other and it's only been a one way street."

"I'm fine May."

"No you're not, you look sad."

"Because I'm worried about you."

I feel my stomach pinch.

"So, I'm causing your sadness?" I ask, tears pricking my eyes.

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Yes you did." I say. "I'm causing you t-to become sad and stuff." He walks over to me and I step back.

"No, May." His hand reaches for mine and I put my hands behind my back. "Please babe."

I don't say anything I just walk out of the apartment. The sound of my name being called behind me is muffled in my ears.

I head to the stairway and sit at the steps. My face falls in my hands. I'm making my own boyfriend sad and worried. The only person I love is becoming miserable because of me.

"Hey May." Adam says while seeing me in the stairwell. My eyes peer up at him. "Whatcha doing?" He sits beside me

"Sitting." I say softly.

"Wanna sit in my apartment?" My eyes glance to him.

"No, it's fine. You're probably busy and stuff." I don't want to be a hassle to Adam too.

"I'm not. C'mon." He smiles warmly. My head tilts.

"Does Harry know where you are?" Adam asks as we step into his warm apartment. My arms hug around myself.

"No." I murmur.

"Did you guys get into a fight?"

"No." I reply. Adam doesn't say anything. He just hugs me. His head rests on my shoulder and he gently squeezes me.

"If you ever need to escape May, just come over." He says softly. "I mean it."

"Okay." I let my head rest on his chest. We pull away from each other and a small smile goes on his lips. "I gotta use the bathroom, I'll be right back." Adam nods and lets me go.
