.Christina.

It's been 3 weeks since Zays grandmas funeral and he still hasn't turned completely normal. He's made me drop out of school and finish classes online.

He refuses to take his pills and has random outburst. He's continued to beat me and It's gotten so bad to where Zays mom let us stay in one of the houses she owns.

What kinda mother allows her son to do this. I've recently hid all of the alcohol bottles and He's starting to have more good days.

"Alright babe so what do you want to do today?" I ask. The more I can distract him the better.

"Nothing." I hear coming from the lump of covers on the couch.

"That's not a choice. Come on give me your hand." I stand up and reach my hand out.

He groans and a head emerges out of the sea of covers. He grabs my hand and pulls me down with him and lays on top of me. "Come on just one more day. "

"Oh God. No. You really need to get up. You smell terrible especially your breath. Let's go get ice cream and we can comeback and do whatever you want okay?"

A slight smile fills his face and he gets off of me and helps me up. He starts walking towards his room but I push him towards the bathroom. "Shower and shave. " he frowns at me. "Don't give me that look. Brush your teeth while you're at it."

I turn to walk away and he pulls me back to him. "Only if you join." I push him in and close the door behind us.

We get in the shower and wash ourselves off. At least this is a little bit of progress. He hasn't showered in days feels like.

I wash my hair and step out and wrap a towel around me. A few seconds later he gets out too and wraps a towel around himself . He starts to walk out of the bathroom but I push him back down onto the toilet. I grab the shaving cream and put it on his face.

"Do you trust me?" I ask holding the razor up in front of him.

"Should I." He says with a sarcastic grin.  I outta slice this nigga throat right now.

He opens his legs and I walk in between them and tilt his head back. I start shaving the right side of his face and I look down at him and see his eyes studying my face.

"See something you like?" I finish the right side and go to the left.

"Just you. You in general you've been so patient from the jump and you didn't leave when you found out about my....illness. And just you being here now means a lot to me."

I finish shaving him and put the razor on the sink. Im about to walk off when He grabs me around my thighs causing me to jump.

"Baby relax." He pulls me in close to him and rests his head on my stomach. "Christina I'm in love with you."

I run my fingers through his hair. Just keep him calm Chris. " And Xavier I'm in love with you." He stands up and tries to kiss me. "But I don't love your breath right now. Please fix it."

He starts laughing and goes over to the sink to brush his teeth. "I like your hair long like this. I didn't even know your hair was curly."

He shakes his head and spits out the toothpaste. "No I need a haircut or at least a edge up cause this look a mess. That's just the water anyways"

I roll my eyes and push him out of the way and start brushing my teeth. He leaves and walks to the room to get dressed I assume. He's slowly starting to act like his old self.
