Death by a Thousand Cuts

Two / James

Her head is resting on my chest again, blurring the line of our unspoken rule. No touching while in bed, yet she does it every night - I have no idea if she knows she gravitates towards me in her sleep, but I don’t complain, I won’t ever complain. 

I usually wake before her, watch her red unruly hair find its way to her mouth, her lips puckered and sweet. She rolls off my chest, her head finding her pillow. Her eyelids flutter as she wakes, the slow blinks fading to a blurry gaze as she gives me a sleepy smile. 

“Mornin’”, she croaks. 

I love her in the morning. 

MEANING: “All the things that we had, keeping us together , but only it was something not meant to last, because we didn’t have rules on this“

Taylor:

The guy with brown hair is Creek, 30 something year old guy who is cold as winter, but knows wtf hes doing for some reason.

Red haired girl is Ida, teenage girl with an extremely bad stutter, but has medical knowledge from early studying for college.

The BOY in the ponytail is Sparky, loudmouth former druggie who's pretty stupid, but kind and strong despite his looks.
