daddy issues

i'm not entirely here, half of me has disappeared

it's been exactly a week since lolita miller had lost her father due to a drug overdose. she has always had issues with her family being abusive towards her. her father would get drunk and beat her up, her mother on the other hand, would never stand up for her. it was clear that she had lost all hope in her family and when lolita's father passed away everything went downhill. she was hurting so badly deep down. she did love her dad, they just never got to sustain a healthy relationship.
she thankfully had her best friend of 10 years by her side. alex turner has always been there for her ever since they were kids. he knew that she grew up in a violent house with her parents so he always cared to give her the love she could never receive from her family. and when lolita's dad died he promised himself that he would be by her side through everything. lolita couldn't bare to stay with her mom when she was taking all her sorrow and anger on her so she decided to stay at alex's apartment until things get better. he always had his door open for her so he gladly said yes.
she was feeling traumatized. things didn't feel real and she didn't have the strength to get out of bed. alex was trying to take care of her as much as he could but she was in a really bad state.
"lolla?" he knocked on her door. he was the only one who could call her that name. she didn't allow anyone else to do so. as he opened the door slowly he saw that she was sleeping peacefully. he walked in trying not to make any sounds that would wake her up. she was really sad which got her sick eventually and she would barely sleep at nights because of nightmares so alex didn't wanna wake her up. he sat on the edge of her bed and stroked her hair slowly.
"hmm"
"hey, it's just me lolla, go back to sleep"
a tear ran down her cheek and alex's heart ached immediately. he wiped her tear away and kissed her forehead.
"dad??"
alex was on the verge of tears.
"it's me lolla"
"alex?"
"hey, don't wake up, you haven't slept at all last night"
"can you lay down next to me?"
her voice was hoarse from crying so hard
"of course"
he slowly laid by her side and pulled the covers over them. as he did so, lolita cuddled closer to him and continued her peaceful slumber. the trauma she was going through wasn't an easy one and she was grateful that alex was with her through it.
