I look over at Jakes chest, peacefully inhaling and exhaling matching my steady breaths exactly.

I try pulling myself closer as he let's out a sleepily moan and pulls me in closer to his chest. I inhale his scent and finally feel alright.

as I wander back too sleep, I hear his front door creek open,

the cool air rushes against my back and I pull Jake closer.

"Baby." he whispers with his raspy voice.

"yeah?" I answer closing my eyes.

"I miss my mom." his voice cracks and I rub his back.

"it'll be okay." I say kissing his forehead.

I wait for him to dose of too sleep, and fall back asleep with the smell of him lingering around me.

☀☀☀

I wakeup with a pillow under my head and a blanket tucking me in.
Nothing can keep me as warm as his arms.

I roll over and notice Jake isn't laying with me. I sit up and my eyes immediately direct too the warm fire place which Jake is sitting in front off. I peer at the table and see two mugs of hot chocolate. I take a sip.

Its cold and bitter. obviously he's been awake for awhile.

I walk over too him slowly, his shoulders keep rising and falling, his cheeks are tear stained and I sit beside him, the fire radiating off large amounts of heat.

"Baby," I say looking at him.

he turns too me with the saddest expression and grasps me in his arms.

I feel safe here.

"Please don't leave me too." he sobs as as his eyes get droopy "I won't." I say brushing my lips lightly against his.

he wraps his arm around my waste and gazes into the fire, as if its the fire in his heart that's keeping him alive.
I'm home..
