FEBRUARY 2016 Michael's pov After a long warm shower I change into the clothes that Kristen threw into the bathroom while I was taking a shower. At moments like those I'm glad I leave some clothes here sometimes. Changing into sweatpants and a shirt feels amazing. Just walking to Kristen's room takes so much energy that I'm basically out of breath when I finally reach her bed. I let myself fall down on it and take a moment to control my breathing again. I'm at the point where I'm almost asleep, but I still can't fall asleep because I'm in too much pain when Kristen walks into her room. As soon as she lays down beside me and wraps an arm around me I'm gone. The next morning I wake up feeling even worse. Not only do I have a terrible headache, I soon realize that my nose is stiffy too .
