Excuse mistakes

I was awoken by low groans and moaning, slowly turning over to Smoke's side of the bed I noticed that Smoke was moving his legs up and down as if he was trying to get away from something

I was awoken by low groans and moaning, slowly turning over to Smoke's side of the bed I noticed that Smoke was moving his legs up and down as if he was trying to get away from something

I flicked the lamp beside me on then proceeded on waking him up

"Smoke"I tapped on his tatted chest repeatedly "David, David"I called out as I began to shake his body

He woke up in a panic, his eyes pitch red and his chest was rising up and down at a quick pace "You okay?"I asked him, in a soft tone

Smoke wiped a hand down his face before nodding

"You sure? Do you need water or something?"

"Nah, I'm good"Was all he said as he climbed out of our bed. I could do nothing but watch him go to the bathroom

Over the last few days I'd been working on my career but I'd also been observing Smoke. I was learning new things about him one being his full name. Smoke and I had a long conversation about deep personal things he explained a lot to me. We talked about his mental health and in the mist we talked about his childhood. He told me that his father wasn't in his life because their father chose to leave them when he was young.

I believed him

That's until I started to grow more and more curios about his past. I researched his actual name on google and since I found nothing I decided to go on some record tracking website. I typed in his name in the search bar and surprisingly a few documents came up. They were all tied to the same situation.

The first one I clicked on read "12 year old leaves father in critical condition after shooting"

I couldn't believe my eyes as I continued to scroll and scan pictures of Smoke as a small child.

I didn't stay on the website too long because I just couldn't bare the news.

It had been weird between us ever since.

I climbed out of bed as well and went in the bathroom with Smoke who was peeing I didn't care though, I got undressed then went in the shower, I turned the water on a nice warm temperature and began to soak my small towel with water and soap. I scrubbed my body until I felt I was clean.

Once I was done showering I got out, wrapped a towel around myself. I grabbed my tooth brush and squeezed toothpaste on it then brushed my teeth. After doing so I got dressed, since it was cold outside I decided to wear some sweats and a long sleeve shirt

I went to the living room where Smoke was sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone, I sat on opposite end of the couch
