#stalker?

Your boyfriend broke up with you weeks ago, and you hadn't sleep well whatsoever recently. You'd sleep, wake up anywhere from 4-6:30 in the morning, then get all anxious and upset and somehow startle awake in a way.

Now, someone texted you about two hours ago from a random number. You'd been so tired, emotionally, physically. You couldn't keep up with anything and you were always anxious and it made you not eat unless you were home. You'd shrunken in on yourself, hood up head down, get through the last week of college before your transfer.

You were struggling, you felt like you were drowning everyday. Going back to your text, it read, "I see you. I see how bad it is. Let me in. Don't look at me, and I promise I will make it better."

Against your better judgment, you left the door unlocked. You were so desperate for sleep and comfort, that you just needed this to work. You heard footsteps in your house and you unsurprisingly didn't get a surge of anxiety. You physically couldn't anymore, be anymore anxious that was.

He knocked on your bedroom door and spoke. "C'mon. Close your eyes. Then I'll come in." His voice was deep, rough, comforting. It felt safe and warm. You closed your eyes. "T..They're closed.." Your voice was timid, but you hadn't been speaking much to anyone ontop of being so anxious.

Your door opened and he sat beside you on the bed. Then, like he knew your room like the back of your head and like he owned the place, he laid down on your bed. He pulled you down onto his chest. He was warm, his heart beat soothing. Safe.

He pulled the blanket, your special favorite comforting one, onto both of you. His left hand came up and held the back of your head, scratching and rubbing your scalp softly. He played with your hair too. His right hand rested on your lower back at first, then came up and started rubbing your back. His voice came out again, murmering softly.

"Shhh baby. I'm so proud of you. You're doing so good surviving and doing your best. I love you so so much pretty boy. God I'm so so proud of you. It's okay, you're safe with me. Just let yourself relax and fall asleep."
