Strawberries & Cigarettes

Brooklyn Thompson

I wake up with my head buried on Maxence's chest while his arms are wrapped around me.

A nurse gets in and smile as she walk towards me.

"good morning" She smile.

"good morning" I smile back.

"I'm here to check your vital signs" She smile.

"Sure thank you" I smile.

She takes my vital signs and smile when she looks at Maxence.

"Your boyfriend is so sweet for not leaving your side" She smile.

"Yeah.. And I Love him so much" I smile as I stare at Maxence who is adorably sleeping.

"Thank you" she smile as she leaves the room.

I look at Maxence and brush his hair as he's sleeping softly like an innocent child.

He slowly opens his eyes and smile as he looks at me.

"Stop staring at me it's creepy" He smile.

"fuck you" I chuckle as I grab a pillow and hit him on the face.

"Ow!" He sigh as he grabs me closer to him.

He cuddles me closer to him and I chuckle as he tickles me gently.

I turn to face him and he caress my face and smile as he stare at me.

"You're so beautiful" He smile.

"You're not so bad yourself" I wink at him.

He's about to kiss me when the door suddenly swings open and Addison enters the room.

"oh sorry" He chuckles.

"When are you gonna make a grand entrance without ruining my kisses??" I frown at him.

"Sorry.. I'm here to sing a song for you" He smile.

"That better be not boring" I roll my eyes.

"shut up and let me sing the song" He frowns.

"Okay! Sorry" I chuckle.

"Zabdiel!! Music!!" He calls.

Zabdiel enters the room with a speaker and plays it.

The music plays and Addison closes his eyes as he tries to sing.

"🎶 Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear? 🎶" Addison smile as he looks at me and sing.

I stare at him and tears starts to fall from my eyes.

"🎶 Well, let that lonely feeling wash away Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay.. 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand.. You can reach, reach out your hand 🎶" He smile with teary eyes as he continues to sing.

He walk towards me and takes my hand and smile.

" 🎶 And oh, someone will coming running And I know, they'll take you home 🎶" He smile as he hold my hand tight.

I hold his hand back as I look at him feel every word he's singing.

" 🎶 Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you And when you're broken on the ground You will be found.. So let the sun come streaming in 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again Lift your head and look around
You will be found! You will be found! 🎶"  Addison really has a beautiful voice.
