she finished her trance of words.
putting a hand on my cheek.
"don't be afraid honey... its going to be alright"
nodding to her reassurance,
gripping onto my jacket sleeve that draped over my cold hands,

"you know hun... i know school can be rough... i understand the bruises and scars you get. and it hurts me to know they treat you like that"
her gaze guided to my arms where bruises scattered across my pale skin.

"i know certain feelings can be felt towards other human beings... whether it being anger.... sadness... love or lust... the list goes on for god knows how long..."
she replies, adding emphasis on certain words.

"w-what do you m-mean....? m-mom what do you..."
i said before being cut off by a finger being lightly pressed on my lips.
"its getting late sweetie, i think you should go to bed."
she said quietly with a smile before lightly moving my hair away from my pale face.
then humming quietly to soothe me.

my eyelids grew heavy.
her hands then resting on my shoulders warming them from the cold sensation that the air gave my sensitive skin.

warm.

her hands glided from my shoulders to the back of my head, gently stroking my hair adding weight to my eyelids,

making me feel limp towards how badly i wanted to lay down,
the warm sensation of her hands.

warm..

falling into her arms, limp.

warm...

eyes shut, slowly falling into a deep sleep.
her arms slowly wrapping around my torso, supporting my lifeless body.

warm....

her arms slowly gliding away from my body, making it loose its support.
the coldness of the room seeping in the clothes to reach my skin.

supporting my body to hit the cold concrete floor, slowly to not wake me.

cold.
