~Stokeleys Pov

All last night Jahseh wouldn't let me leave him alone even to use the bathroom
Almost like he's scared to be alone

But before he wanted to be alone
He ignored me so he could be alone
I'm worried about him

He's asleep right now, cuddled up next to me
His arms wrapped around me tightly

He won't take off his hoodie, or jogging pants
He's hot and I can feel that he's hot
He's been hot all night so I've made sure his air conditioner is on high and I've kept his door closed so his room is cold

I texted coolie asking him to come over and talk to Jahseh about whatever it is that's happening that he refuses to talk about
But I told him to come later because jahs sleeping and I don't want to wake him

Now I'm laying in a dark freezing cold room
Trying to fall asleep but my mind doesn't want to

Jahseh randomly jumps up yelling "STOP LEAVE ME ALONE" and began to cry
What the fuck?"

"Jah baby it's okay it" I say pulling him closer to me
"I'm sorry stokes" he sniffles

"Why do you keep apologizing? Jahseh can you please talk to me"

The rooms still dark so I can't see him but I can tell he's still crying, I hear his little sobs
"I don't want to talk, just hold me"
I wrapped my arms around him tighter than before

"Want some breakfast? Coolies supposed to be coming over soon I hope that's okay"

"I'm not hungry stokes"

"How long has it been since you've eaten?" I ask
He didn't eat the entire night I was here

"A few days I think"

"Yeah come on let's go you've got to at least try to eat something" I say forcing him to sit up with me
He sighed and followed me Into the kitchen

"What do you want to eat baby?"

"I'm not hungry I just want to sleep" he shrugs and lays his head on the table

"But you need to eat, just eat something please"

I don't care what he eats as long as he eats something, going days without eating isn't healthy

"I'll just eat some cereal and Then I want to go back to sleep" he says lowly

I grabbed the milk from the refrigerator, and two bowls out of the cabinet

"What kind do you want?"
He stood up and grabbed a box of cereal off of the refrigerator
Cinnamon Toast Crunch, best cereal ever

He poured a small amount then handed me the box

"You know whatever it is you can talk to me right?" I say as I pour my cereal
"I love you Stokeley"

The first time he's ever said those words to me
Im extremely happy now, I looked at him smiling
But I know that was his way of changing the conversation

"Do you mean that or are you just changing the conversation?" I ask curiously

"Both. I meant it I really love you and I appreciate you being here for me even though I'm not making it very easy"
