I collapse into his arms. I feel so suffocated and trapped .
I explode into tears and I don't think I'm going to stop.
"It's okay Lexie !", Andrew says comforting me as he hugs me tighter .
Lexie.
He's never called me that before .
He places my head on the soft pillow and closes my eyes .
I hear mom singing that old lullaby she always sang.
"When the stars fade from the sky ;
and you lie down on mother's lap ,
she'll kiss you goodnight ,
then the sun will paint the sky ,
and you'll be awake to shine ,
Then everything will be okay ,
cause now your awake ".
I go back to a time when I still wore piggy tails with pink ribbons in the end and listened to mom sing as I slowly shut my sleepy eyes and slept in her lap.
It was just me and her all the time . I had all her love . I had her heartbeat's warmth . I had her eyes guarding me .

"Alexis?" , he calls .
"I'm okay !", I say almost warningly .
"You need rest , you need a lot of it ", he advises .
Since meeting Calvin , I've lost control of myself and I clearly don't know where things are going.
"I'm pulling myself together , I don't think I need rest !", I say .
"Okay,as you wish ", he says .
*******************************
I go home early to revive everything I've lost in the past few days and return to my normal self .
"Lexie ?" , Dan calls me .
"Yes Daniel ? ", I reply .
" Can you sing me a song ? " , he requests .
"Song ? " , I ask .
"Please !",He replies .
"Fine", I will .
"I'll save a little place for you under the sky ,
near the lavenders and roses ,
beside the rising sun .
a place where you'll always be mine ,
a place where I'll have you and love ,
beautiful and lovely just like your green eyes ,
away from worries , away from pain ,
in a little warm place by my heart's warmth."
"It's beautiful Lex ! " . "You are an amazing singer !".
"I am ?"
"Yes ! "
"Oh, thank you Daniel ! ".
Dan ! From that little infant who has never seen his parents , he's so grown up now . Five years later.But he's still the same . That little boy who mom made me promise to look after.
