I have been battling depression for 6 years. I had tried to kill myself many times and always failed. I took a lot of meds for it and when I met Aaron I told him that. He and the team made me happy but when I start with my blood family the depression cripples in and I feel hopeless. It was the day after my father's birthday. I was not going to go and wish him a happy birthday but the day after I felt horrible. I didn't want to get out of bed and when that happens I don't want to eat. Aaron tried to get me to eat something. But I just felt hopeless. I walked downstairs wearing his sweater that was humongous on me and a pair of his boxers and fluffy socks. "Aaron," I whispered He set his book down and opened the blanket. Whenever I whispered his name like that he knew I just needed a hug. I walked over to him and settled on his lap before burying my head in his neck. He wrapped his arms around me and just hugged me. "God, why do you have to feel so warm." I sniffled "It's an ok baby just let it out." He whispered rubbing my back I tried holding back my tears but it didn't work and I just let go. Breathing heavily and crying I held onto Aaron for dear life. I wrapped my arms around his neck and embraced his warmness. "It's ok I'm here." He soothed "I'm sorry." I sniffled "It's not your fault baby." He hugged "I really can't do this anymore." I cried "It's ok I've got you." He soothed "Hey lord you know you I'm fighting. I'm sure this world is done with me Hey lord you know it's true." I sang "It's not a true baby. I want you here." Aaron begged "I know that's just how I feel," I said sadly "Let's get you some food." He said "Can we stay like this a little longer," I asked "Sure." He said "Hey lord you know I'm trying. Hey lord you know I'm trying. It's all I got is this enough, hey lord I wanna stay. Hey lord you know I'm fighting, hey lord you know I find it I don't know when or how today hey lord I'm on my way." I sang again feeling a little hungry "I'm sorry you feel this way baby," Aaron said "It's not your fault." I sniffled "Let's eat." He begged "Ok." I smiled He fed me and gave me my meds. He cuddled me and let me pick movies. I fell asleep in his arms feeling safe.
