I wake up to the smell of lavender scented candles. "Jesus Christ, Rikkun, you passed out. Thank goodness you called my name before you fell," Clay held me in his arm on the bed once again. "I'm sorry.." I really don't know why I passed out. Maybe it was the lack of sleep..
He kisses my forehead, "It's fine. As long as you're ok." He sits up and helps me lay next to him, "You ate just fine earlier. What was the problem?"
"I just..couldn't sleep enough last night.."
"You know you don't have to protect me all the times," he says holding me close. How can I not? He was everything to me. The everything that brought me here and kept me going. I felt myself start to cry. I hug him tightly.
He hugs me back, "It's okay Rikkun.." his voice so calm and eased. I felt my body starting to collapse again. Sleep.

That's all I need...
Sleep..
