Breathe Me – Sia

She needed him more than she needed air to breathe. Not only did she need him as her lover, but she needed him as her best friend, her savior, and most importantly her guardian angel.

Depression had been her foe ever since she was 13 and her parents got a divorce. Her entire world fell apart and she lost who she truly was.

Her father and stepmother disowned her and kicked her out of their house when she was only 18, and her mother and stepfather became her family.

She had boyfriends, but none of them could keep the pain away for long.

Then she met him.

The first time he found her covered in her own blood he didn't know what to do, so he took her to the E.R. After that, he kept a close watch on her, waiting for even the tiniest crack in her normally tough exterior.

The second time he found her, he bandaged her up himself while spewing out a long list of profanities.

The third time was his breaking point. He cleaned her up, softly kissing her clean but marred wrists. They sat on the floor of her kitchen and she sobbed into his chest as he held her and rocked her slightly. Tears fell silently from his dark brown eyes and he kissed her forehead.

She was so small in his arms; so vulnerable and fragile. He vowed to get her help and to not leave her side until she was better.

It was then that he realized that he had fallen in love with her, and she realized that she had fallen in love with him.
